Welcome to TestOutOfIt.com!

This website is for those who are interested in independent study, IE, testing out of a degree. It also provides information on other efficient and cost-effective strategies for getting a degree. All institutions recommended on this website are accredited by recognized organizations.

An independent study degree:

• Cuts out inefficiency and waste associated with traditional univeristies; total degree costs can be as low as $5,000
• Allows you to proceed at your own pace. You could finish in 6 months or 5 years, and you won't have to quit your job due to class schedules.
• Allows you to study a huge amount of subjects, some of which may not be available at a university near you. EG, Haitian Creole. (It is possible to get 28 credits in Haitian Creole by passing both the ACTFL and NYU language exams.)
• Does not require you to take classes you don't need.

Disadvantages:

• Lack of social environment
• Requires discipline and self-motivation
• May not offer certain 'hands on' subjects

If you are interested in getting an online degree or a degree through independent study, this website can be a valuable resource for you. You can start by viewing the Colleges section, which provides a summary of the colleges/universities recommended on this site. There is one example degree plan on the Excelsior College page which may give you a better idea of what getting a degree from one of the Big 3 would entail.

If you're already enrolled at such a college, you might want to look at the Credit Sources, as it might contain credit options you are unaware of.
