so if u would like to know how i did it here it goes.

had the yeshiva credits
took 10 classes
took 2 science dantes (6 credits)
took a random art dante (3 credits)
took english clep (6 credits)
took alecks math (3 credits)

i have help countless people with this method, and i can successfully say no one i know got screwed over

i was personally helped by mr rots and it worked out wonderfully

FYI

If you take an EMT course you'll get 6 credits from FDU. 3 EMT and 3 cpr

I think you are mistaken. Emt AFAIK gives you one credit.

Dantes's as far as I know can be taken in har nof. But i don't know if you would wanna do that..... And Alecks is online.

And how you doing I advise now adays. ;-)

you cone in with 72 credits,must take 18 with fdu and another 30 with cleps and stuff.
Im guessing the 18 with fdu is hard to play around with but what about the 30? I took a biology clep- passed bh, but it was murder, about to take comp clep...
I really dont want to take a math clep or a english/writing clep. Any way out of those?
Whose Rabbi z? Contact info?

This is inaccurate. you need 30 FDU (10 classes x 3 credits per class) and 18 credits otherwise.

I completed the program as well, my path was:
I had the yeshiva credits= 72
10 classes in FDU (6 in Finance to get "specializing in Finance"= 30
3 CLEPS (Biology, CPU science and English) the english CLEP must be the longer test (I asked Swanzey) with I believe three (maybe only 2) essays and the CLEP earns six credits.= 12
Aleks online for math requirements= 6

Approx 16k, finished in one year. Only took so long because I went to Israel for Pesach that year and couldn't attend classes then.

If I was mistaken I don't think I would have my diploma.

Unless Swanzey just gave it to me for no reason

i do not have a BS i have a BA in Business

Galitzyaner · « **Reply #34 on:** October 20, 2013, 06:40:05 PM »

In your (the collective you) experiences, are these FDU BA's worth anything?
Can/do they get you anywhere?
How far can they take you?
(I guess this question(s) would apply to all the tchik-tchak BA programs = Thomas Edison and Excelsior as well.)

Is Touro any better?

TIA

it all depends on what you plan on doing with it. it definitely works to get into masters programs.
and entry level positions that require degrees. its a degree from a recognized university.
but if your going for an education........

Around the same time. I am happy i got my associates from a "real" two year program.
The Masters program is the real deal though.
