Hi everyone,

I wanted to offer my guidance to anyone attempting to complete an Excelsior degree plan. I have worked with Excelsior degree plans for 4 years now and would be happy to assist anyone with questions. Please feel free to e-mail me directly with any Excelsior degree plan questions.

Thanks!

Hi,

I really would like to get a 2 yr associate degree in:

Criminal Justice or
Corrections or
Law Enforcement

Is there any possibility of getting this degree strictly through cleps, dantes, and ece tests?

Thanks

This will be my first test. I wanna pay so ill take a easy one. any suggestions?:confused:

How close are the test to the study guides? should i just look for key words? this is my first time.:eek:

I have reviewed instancert and am ready to take the test. Or so I thought. I took the practice test #2 (Petersons) and did horrible. Nothing was really on it concerning instancert. I know the explanation and questions on instantcert really good. Any self reassuring thoughts, hints, or notes someone can give me.

Tomorrow at 6:30 AM sharp I am getting up and going to a testing center that is over an hour away to take Here's to your Health and Fundamentals of Counseling. I studied IC ALL day for these until I scored 100% on every section. I'm pretty apprehensive, as I have never been to this testing center (no DSST's are offered in my immediate area), and I have never taken a DSST exam before. I hope I have studied enough, but I can't turn back now. It's not exactly my cup of tea to not only take vacation time to study, but to get up that early on a Saturday, but I am determined to get this done. After this, I only have two more exams to take (shooting for October) and I will be finished with the testing process.

I guess I wanted to post, because you all know how it is and what a sense of accomplishment you get when you complete these tests. I don't think my friends really "get it."

I've got a question concerning the B.S. in Criminal Justice from Excelsior College. The B.S. allows for 60 credits to be in the Applied Professional electives. Looking over the Liberal Arts catalog, it states that Criminal Justice credits are considered Applied Professional electives. When looking at the degree outline for the B.S. though, it states that 30 credits must be general education, 30 credits for the major, and 60 credits for Applied Professional.

My question:
If I am majoring in a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Excelsior College, will that major count towards the Applied Professional elective pool, or the Arts/Science pool (or a combination of both depending upon the specific courses taken)?

Thanks.

Hey everyone. I am need to take the History of Psy class for the EC. I am having a pretty hard time finding who offers this class. Do you have guys/girls have any suggestions of how I could get this done. For those that have already accomplished this could you do me a favor and leave a few links to of the schools and stuff. Thanks

Does anyone know if any of the FEMA independent study courses can be counted as humanities classes? I gotta fill my humanities requirement to get my BA at Thomas Edison State but I only need ONE credit and dont want to spend money to take a three credit class.

I just found an interesting resource to look through for my social studies/history exam. The Guinness Book of World Records!hilarious
My practice tests had a lot of geography questions like "which is the largest...." "what is the tallest..." etc. and my son brought me his record book! It has wonderful factoids for the basics. A few goodies:
Hardest mineral- tallest mountain-longest river- most annual rainfall- deepest valley-largest deforestation-costliest natural disasters- largest lake- major seas- etc. I think this will be a good reference for natural sciences too, though I have not looked too much at the exam content.

Of course, you'll have to control your urge to see the most body piercings and world's longest toe nails. That can be quite a distraction! :eek:
