Thanks, y'all! I think a combo of the Clep and podcasts would really be fun for them! I never think of the Clep option, but the books certainly are laid out well!

That is a great idea! We listen to the show anyway!

She can take more than four credits of English, if she wants. Look at the degree requirements for the college she wants to attend to see if they ask for particular combinations. For instance, at our local CC my kids would have to take three English courses for a transfer equivalent of English 1301 at UT Austin.

Both my sons plan to major in business because they want to start a business together when they are grown. I'm looking for ideas for a semester course on maybe leadership habits for success, or basics of starting a business, so something. Has anyone already done something similar?

Also, UT said if you, as a "school," value, say, English 1301, a one semester community college class, as high school English 3, a year long class, they would agree. A semester of college work, in general, to them is worth a year of high school work. It seems the high school transcript is a different animal than the college transfer transcript. Callthe admissions and transfer student office of your child's top three schools to find out specifically what they like to see on the homeschool transcript. They are pretty cool people!

Thanks! I thought I had read the shortest allowed course length is 12 weeks, but then couldn't find where I saw that.

You can "double dip" at UT Austin. I think any state school in Texas allows it.

I live in Texas and Year-round school my kids. We don't keep official track of number of school days, except for course they take at a co-op. We are pretty relaxed about scheduling as long as they finish before the beginning of the new school year. I'm sure History usually takes them over 150 days to complete. I am not sure if that is acceptable with NCAA, or if the length of course time regulations only apply to public schoolers. Has anyone had experience with this?
