Also you can take CLEP and or DANTES credits to transfer to Universities by studying for and passing tests

@Gonzo17

Also based on University Placement exam you can possibly skip certain lower level math or English classes or other subjects depending on the university if you do well enough and you can study ahead of time before taking the placement test

Do not trust academic advisors

Always get a list of required classes to graduate for your major to double check any claims they make

Remember classes come in series

They try to trick you into taking general education credits first

But if you are in certain majors you might for example have to take 4 semesters of calculus or whatever each having a pre-requisite of a previous class

So you are better off taking the classes in that series at the very start

@Gonzo17

Anything that is not a hands on skill which is just book learning you can learn on your own without paying for University tuition

@Gonzo17

Look into Harvard Extension School online

It is actually cheaper than locally going to Universities in person in my city which is not to be named but more expensive than community college and technical colleges

Also as far as I know Harvard Extension unlike regular Harvard rejects no one who has the money and who has a high school degree

Some of the classes you can take are the same classes that regular Harvard students take
