Can someone tell me what these count as at EC and TESC? Are the 2 exams in different categories or the same?
I am in process of getting all my transcipts together and evaluated. I was thinking of taking these while I wait because i am pretty good with computers, but also want to make sure I dont waste my time.
Thanks

is the DSST intro to computing a elective?
I believe I am all filled up as far as electives go. So that is my main concern.
I dont want to do any exams that are elective credits.
Maybe that would be a good topic. "which exams count as electives only"

I believe the DANTEs version has the programming language BASIC incorporated into the exam ...

Pitbull,
Yes, the DSST "Intro to Computing" exam is an elective. However, the CLEP "Information Systems & Computer Applications" exam can be used to meet the requirement for "Computers" under the Business Core Requirements of the Excelsior BS-Business degree.
Hope that helps!

Mapalo,
The DANTES "Management Information Systems" is an entirely different exam from the other two mentioned above (there are actually 3 computer-related exams). This MIS exam can apply towards the 12 "advanced level business credits" you need for the EC Business degree.
So we have:
CLEP "Information Systems & Computer Applications" - applies toward "Computer" requirement for EC Business degree
DSST "Intro to Computing" - elective
DSST "Management Information Systems" - Upper level exam that counts towards EC advanced level business credits
So that is why your advisor told you the MIS exam applies toward the business component.
Hope that helps!

Just out of curiosity is the MIS exam typically upper level credit at other schools too? TESC perhaps?

Pitbull,
My guess is that it
would be counted as an upper level exam at other schools, but I am not enrolled at TESC so I couldn't say for sure. Any TESC students out there who could tell us??
