  Postponing World Population Excelsior Exams?
Posted by: web1b - 09-12-2007, 09:06 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

If you are unable to complete testing buy the due date, what options do you have? Do they give you an incomplete or F or can you extend it into the next semester/quarter?

Posted by: Machelle - 09-12-2007, 04:03 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

I am soooooo happy right now! I passed Here's to Your Health and Fundamentals of Counseling that I took 8/18!!! I can't believe it! With all that I went through on testing day, I was sure that I failed them BOTH. It took a long time to get the scores, but it was so worth the wait! I got a 59 on HTYH and a 49 on Fund. of Counseling. Barely passed the latter, but I will TAKE IT! Now I just have Intro to Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice and I will be DONE with testing and looking to graduate with my BS/BA in March!! hilarious

[COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="7"]
This dreaded prereq.!!![/SIZE][/COLOR] I thought I would CLEP this one but just do not feel strong enough. I checked into taking it at a local school but have to test into that course at most of the schools I called. This appears to be my biggest obstacle to move forwardSad :o Sad (Did I mentionSad ?)
How did/would you handle this? Thank you, Marie

  Need your help and advice - What school and what Degree
Posted by: Southpaw - 09-12-2007, 12:02 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Hey guys this is a little long but I would appreciate any feedback you could give me. I am currently attending American Military University working towards a BA in Homeland Security with a concentration in terrorism studies. I have recently decided that I want to transfer to either TESC or Excelsior so I can finish up my degree faster and cheaper. What I am looking for is whichever program could be completed the fastest and preferably through testing only. I did do a year of college in 1996 and I will post all of my classes that I have completed. I plan to go back to AMU for my Masters degree and you do not need a certain GPA to get in, just a Bachelors degree.

The programs I’m interested in are the BA in Criminal Justice at Excelsior; I see that they have a Homeland Security emphasis available on that. I am also interested in Criminal Justice or Psychology at TESC, or if it would be faster the Liberal Studies at either school. I am leaning more towards TESC but I could be persuaded to go to Excelsior if it would be a better fit.

Grossmont College:

• HIST 141 Modern Western Civilization - 3 credits - B
• HUM 110 Principles of Humanities – 3 credits - B
• PSY 120 Intro to Psychology – 3 credits - B
• SOC 120 Intro to Sociology – 3 credits - B
• AOJ 110 Intro to Admin of Justice – 3 credits - A
• ASTR 110 Descriptive Astronomy - 3 credits - A
• ECON 120 Principles of Macroeconomics - 3 credits - B
• PHIL 130 Logic - 3 credits - B
• PE Beginning Tennis – 1 credit - A

American Military University:

• RQ295 - Academic & Career Planning – 3 credits – A
• HS102 - American History since 1877 – 3 credits – A
• MA125 - Math for Liberal Arts Majors – 3 credits – A
• GM160 - Emergency Response to Terrorism – 3 credits – A
• GM260 - Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Hazards – 3 credits – A
• GM261 - Weapons of Mass Destruction Incident Command – 3 credits – A
• GM263 - Regulatory Issues in Weapons of Mass Destruction – 3 credits – A
• IR310 - Homeland Defense – 3 credits – A

Current courses that I will finish soon:

• CJ319 - Global Terrorism – 3 credits
• IS312 - Terrorism and Counterterrorism – 3 credits

I have almost 11 years Federal Law Enforcement experience and AMU gave me 16 credits for the Border Patrol Academy, 6 were in Spanish. If TESC or Excelsior do not give me credit for this I’m fairly confident I could pass the Spanish CLEP high enough to get 12 credits.

I have about 25 FEMA IS courses done that I have not turned into credit yet.

Another question I have is if I apply to both schools to see what kind of credit they will give me do I have to pick a specific degree or can they show me what I would still need to do for more than one degree path such as CJ and Psychology?

Can the BA in Psychology from TESC be completed through testing only? Looking at it there are only 3 required courses besides the electives in PSY, the required ones are Intro to PSY, Statistics and Experimental PSY. The Experimental PSY is the one I’m curious if there is a test that will cover it. I also want to know if there are enough PSY tests out there to cover the 24 elective credits in PSY.

Can the Criminal Justice degrees from either school be completed through testing only? I guess it might also depend on what type, if any, CJ credits they give me for my Law Enforcement experience and Academies I have attended.

Looking at the credits I have now what do you guys think would be my best option?

  Testing centers open on Saturday?
Posted by: PeteDude - 09-11-2007, 12:53 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Howdy, all:

I'm looking for CLEP/DSST test centers that are open on Saturday, as I may have a "testing spree" coming up soon and not be able to break away to do it. I'd prefer centers in Southern Cali, but as I'm anxious to wrap my AA soon I might hop a flight if need be.

Anybody know of any?

I'll keep looking. . .
