What is DSST exams?
DSST exams are a series of standardized tests that allow students to earn college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of a traditional classroom setting. These exams cover a wide range of subjects and are widely accepted by colleges and universities as a way for students to demonstrate proficiency in specific areas. Passing a DSST exam can help students save time and money on their path to earning a degree.
How One college credit how do you get it?
If you mean you only need 1 credit, your best bet is to take a CLEP test or a DSST exam. That is a lot cheaper than most 3 credit courses at any college. But you will need to check with your advisor at any rate.
What is meant by the abbreviation DSST?
The acronym DSST can stand for a number of things. Some of these are: Dunlop Self Supporting Tire, Denver School of Science and Technology and Digit Symbol Substitution Task.
How can you take a test to advance in obtaining my associate's degree?
Some colleges/universities which offer associates (and even bachelors) degrees will allow a student to "test out" of certain courses by taking either "CLEP" or "DANTES/DCCT" exams. Usually, only "lower-division" (freshman and sophomore) level courses may be earned via CLEP or DANTES standardized testing; however, there are a few upper-division (junior and/or senior year) tests out there that some schools also accept.An associates degree is equivalent to the freshman and sophomore years of a four-year bachelors degree; and so all associates degree courses are "lower division."Most schools limit the amount of lower-division coursework that may be earned via standardized testing; so don't look forward to testing-out of, for example, an entire associates degree. But some schools allow as many as 30 semester credit hours of standardized testing to count toward a degree; and 30 semester credit hours is equal to half of a typical 60 semester hour associates degree. Most schools, though, won't allow that much.In the "sources and related links" area, below, are links to the CLEP and DANTES/DSST web sites. From there, you can learn all about what tests are available, and how to arrange to take them.For the most part, it's just a matter of telling your college advisor that you want to take such-and-such CLEP or DANTES exam, and have it count toward such-and-such of the degree's course requirement; and then you make arrangements at the nearest CLEP and/or DANTES testing center (which is sometimes right there at your own school; some schools are authorized CLEP and/or DANTES testing centers). When you make the appointment to take the exam, you must pay a small fee. Then you show-up on the appointed day at the appointed time, and you sit down and take the exam. Simple as that.If you take the exam on paper, using a number 2 pencil (just like the SAT), then you'll learn whether or not you passed the exam (and earned its course credit) in a few weeks. If, on the other hand, the testing center is more advanced and you took the exam on a computer, then you learn right then and there, immediately upon completing the exam, if you passed it and earned the college credit. Said credit, in any case, is sent straight to your college (which you specify when you sign-up to take the exam).Again, though, most colleges severely limit the amount of course credit that you may earn from standardized CLEP and/or DANTES/DSST testing. So don't get your heart set on testing-out of the entire degree. While that can actually be done at some schools (very, very few... almost none, in fact; but I admit that I can think, off the top of my head, of at least three that will allow it), nearly all schools fairly severely limit the amount of lower-division (and especially upper-division) coursework which may be "tested-out" of using CLEP and/or DANTES.Either discuss it with your college advisor, or consult your college's "catalog" to learn if CLEP and/or DANTES/DSST exams are even allowed/accepted; and, if they are, in what amounts. Then just go from there!A WORD OF CAUTION AND ADVICE: Never assume that you already know enough to pass either a CLEP or DSST/Dantes exam! They're harder than you might think... even of you think you know the material. You must study -- and you must study hard -- to pass either CLEP or DANTES exams. There are all kinds of online study courses, and practice exams that you may use... some free, most not. And there's an excellent book called "Cracking the CLEP" that's about as good a study guide as any out there. A link to that book is also in the "sources and related links area," below.ADDENDUM: I've added some additional CLEP/DANTES test preparation websites; and even the "BA in Four Weeks" website... yes, it's actually at least theoretically possible to earn a bachelor of arts (BA) degree in only four (4) weeks, and that side explains how to do it entire through standardized testing.It's not easy, and it also can't really, as a practical matter, be done in four weeks. Heck, just the various waiting periods to take some of the exams make that almost impossible. But there are three regionally-accredited (or, well, now there may only be two, now that one of them is no longer accepting GRE subject exams, as of Sept 2011) colleges that will accept entirely standardized testing as credit toward a degree... both an associates, and a bachelors; and the BA in Four Weekswebsite tells you how to do it. I don't recommend it, but it's nevertheless legitimate... not a scam. The schools are regionally-accredited, and well-known for helping people -- usually adults who want to circle back and get the degree they never completed in their youth -- to cobble together degrees from whatever prior coursework and standardized testing they have under their belts! While I don't recommend getting an entire degree that way, at least that website teaches how the whole standardized testing thing may be used and leveraged.
45 credit hours equals how much college?
Without a specific degree? A waste of time and money. The average employer will look at 195 CH and say you couldn't decide what major you wanted, you had your school paid for by someone else, you spent at least 5 1/2 years in school and never accomplished anything towards a goal. This demonstrates to them that you are indecisive, lazy, noncommittal, a freeloader, not dedicated, unreliable, and generally not a good candidate for longtime employment. If you attempt to transfer these credits to an accredited school, the rule of thumb is that they will only give you credit for 50% of the required CH to get awarded their degree. In other words, you will be able to transfer approximately 60 CH for a BA/BS and will still have to attend two more years of college in order to get a degree from them.
How fast can I earn my associate's degree online?
Of course you can get an associate degree entirely online. Make sure to choose an accredited college so you can be sure you're getting credible education. It's good to compare different colleges first to see their tuition and course offering before you commit to one so check out several of them.
How many years does web design take?
The usual 4 to 5 if your normal or take it slow. However, google CLEP and DSSt credits and you can take exams for 3 credits each and graduate in less than a year, 1 year or 2 years (Depends on your exam pass rate). Make sure your college allows clep and dsst credits to be transferred in...if not find another college. Good luck.

What are some fast degrees?
There are no shortcuts. Please stop that kind of thinking. All degrees consist of the same numbers of course credits, and all course credits take about the same amount of time to earn. So there's no such thing as a "fast" degree.The only thing you can do to maybe speed it up a bit is to "test out" of certain courses by sitting for either CLEP or DSST/Dantes standardized exams. But most schools won't let you do very much of that. The absolute most CLEP/DANTES exam credits that most schools will accept is maybe a year's worth... approximately 30 semester credit hours worth. Most won't even allow that much.So, bottom line: However long a degree takes, is how long it takes. There's no shortcutting.A 60-semester-credit-hour associates (AA or AS) degree takes two years of full-time study.A 120-semester-credit-hour bachelors (BA or BS) degree takes four years of full-time study.Remember, though, that the associates degree is equal to the first two years of the bachelors degree. So it doesn't take six years of full-time study to earn both an associates and a bachelors. Rather, one first earns the associates, and then transfers that into a bachelors program; and the associates counts as the freshman and sophomore years of the bachelors, thereby allowing the student to enter the bachelors as a junior, and then complete just the junior and senior years of the bachelors. So, then, both the associates and bachelors are earned in only four years, just exactly the same is if just the four-year bachelors were earned without the associates.Of course, either of them may be earned over a longer period of time via part-time study; and many people -- especially working people, with families -- do it eactly that way. It just requires both perseverance and patience.If you have neither the patience or perseverance to take however long it takes to earn the degree, then you're not suited to pursue said degree.Whatever you do, though, don't fake it. Don't go out and get a worthless degree-mill or diploma-mill degree. More and more states are actually making that illegal; and in states like Oregon, you can even be charged with a crime for putting a fake degree on your business card, resume, a job application, in advertising, etc. Plus, once you're on the Internet somewhere, claiming a fake degree, it'll follow you around for the rest of your life, even if you stop claiming it in the real world. Human resources people always Google new job applicants, and your claiming that old fake degree will still be out there, online somewhere, even when you're in your sixties. DO NOT DO IT!Do not shortcut. Get an accredited and legitimate degree legitimately! And however long it takes, is however long it takes. One is either sufficiently patient and mature to endure it, or one isn't.
How much is the cost to get a bachelor's degree?
There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.
Grantham University?
Grantham University was founded in 1951 by Don Grantham, a World War II veteran and engineer. The school began its existence as an academic institution as the Grantham Radio License School in Los Angeles, California. Don Grantham founded the school as a way to give academic opportunities to veterans returning from World War II. Originally, the school only offered F.C.C. license certification programs. Since Grantham University’s humble beginnings, the school has expanded greatly. The school is now headquartered in a campus located in Kansas City, Missouri. It was moved there from Slidell, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina destroyed over eighty percent of the campus’s facilities. It also has expanded to add new campuses in Hollywood, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Seattle, Washington; and Washington D.C. Today, over 5,500 undergraduate students are enrolled at these different campuses. Grantham University has also expanded academically and far beyond its beginnings of only offering radio license certification programs. Grantham University now has several different schools including a College of Arts & Sciences, a College of Business, and a College of Engineering and Computer Science. Grantham University was also one of the earliest adapters of a distance learning business model. The school received accreditation for its degree programs from the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council in 1961. Today, the school offers almost all of its degree programs online. Popular Bachelor’s degrees offered by the school include degrees in accounting, business management, criminal justice, computer science, electronic engineering technology, and nursing. Popular Master’s degrees offered include degrees in business administration, healthcare administration, health systems management, information technology, and project management. Grantham University is one academic institution that certainly offers aspiring college students a multitude of different plans of study to earn accredited degrees at a number of different campuses across the nation as well as over the internet.
