People are often surprised to learn that, although I am an attorney, I am also a high school dropout… It took me approximately two years to complete my degree at Thomas Edison. In addition to utilizing CLEP tests, and portfolio assessment, I was able to apply credits from my military training and from course work completed at various colleges.”
