Hi, I originally applied to get a BS in Social Science with an International Relations major but realized that I would not be able to fully CLEP or DSST all the exams out to get a degree and Id have to sign up for their classes. I then decided to switch back to my original major which is a BA in History. Now, Excelsior requires the following for that major:
2 courses in US history
2 courses in European history
To satisfy the 2 courses in US history, I can take the Civil war DSST and that takes care of one course but there's no other exam I can take to satisfy the 2 course requirement and you cant use the US History CLEP
Same with European history, I can take Western Europe since 1945 DSST but that still leaves one more course I need to satisfy the requirements and there is no exam(to my knowledge)that I can take to satisfy the 2 course requirements.
It seems this is set up to force you to take a couple Excelsior classes or am I missing something here?
