That's awesome! Both exams sound interesting. Nice that DSST is keeping up with the times and changing winds of higher education.

Ethics in Technology -- listed under business, not technology

Intro to Geology -- listed under Physical Science

I wish they'd bring back Principles of Physical Science I

All of their tests get ACE credit. Just search DSST on the acenet site.

DSST has been "keeping up with the times" since the beginning - they were one of the innovators, along with CLEP.  So more like "ahead of the times."

Just an FYI, they not only added 2 new courses, they upgraded 8 of them, and everything that was due to expire in 2018 has been renewed through 2023.

Also, it does look like Principles of Physical Science was not renewed at all, so that one comes off the list.

I asked at Coastal Carolina U. yesterday why they don't take DSST and the lady that knows all about CLEP told me DSST are not accredited??? Huh

I am just curious how many Universities take CLEP that don't take DSST?

 Also if DSST is doing so much work on exams and updating why aren't they going after more colleges for acceptance?

CLEP is accepted by WAY more schools than DSST.  A LOT more.  Not sure why that is.

But the comment that they aren't accredited is just wrong - or at least, since DSST is not a school, they can't be accredited.  But then, neither can CLEP.  They are in the exact same boat - both are ACE-recommended.
