There is a Cultural Diversity Uexcel. 

http://www.excelsior.edu/exams/cultural-diversity

Thanks  I will check that out. I noticed there is a study.com course to prepare for it. Would you recommend that or is there a better resource?

Study.com would be cheaper.

Their course is not an ACE- or NCCRS-approved one, just a UExcel Cultural Diversity test prep course.

This is an expensive exam ($355), with 3 "required" textbooks to read for it (seriously?) that are not cheap on their website (although you can find them for WAY less on Amazon as rentals).  You may be better off taking this elsewhere if you can find it.

Oops. I didn't check. That's a good reminder for the OP. Verify that a course is ACE or NCCRS-approved, especially at Study.com since they also create courses for the purpose of studying for exams and for high school students.

Yea $355 is a lot for the exam and if I fail it, I will lose the money. Not sure if this is really worth it. Maybe I could take it at a community college, or I may just need to suck it up and do it at Baker. Their classes are fairly easy as long as you set time aside to get them done, it would cost me $1170 though =/

I'm honestly just a little surprised that Straighterline or Study.com do not offer an option for such a basic course. Weird

Do you guys think my local community college would allow me to take one class there? The tuition is only $191 per credit so it would cost me about $500 to take it there.
