Hello all! I have a quick question for those in the know. I have a spreadsheet(SS) of courses I need to satisfy my degree req'ts for a BS in Nuclear Engineering Technologies from Excelsior. On this spreadsheet there is a 3 credit communications requirement, which according to the SS, can be satisfied by a CLEP or DANTES. Does anyone have a clue as to which test might satisfy this req't? Any input would be great appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Rich,
Have you satisfied the Written English Requirement yet? If so, consider taking the DSST Public Speaking or Technical Writing Exams.

No,
I have not satisfied the requirement yet. You think the technical writing Dantes will satisfy the requirement? I am curious as I think it would not seeing that they will not accept the CLEP with Comp. I had not heard of the Public Speaking Dantes. Have you taken either of the aforementioned tests? If so, how difficult are they? I could do the tech writing one pretty easy I think, thats what I have been doing for the past several years! Thanks again for the info!

Rich,
If you haven't satisfied the WER; I recommend taking an Eng Comp class at a local community college or ENGL 1001 through LSU. The DANTES Tech Writing (or the Public Speaking) should satisfy the additional 3sh you need in communications. I have not taken either of those DSSTs.
