Upper Division Management or Leadership - jayashjian - 11-14-2014
So I am finishing a couple classes this week with TESC (Proj Mangmt and Change Mangmt). I had to select specific courses for that block. All I really have left is Organizational Theory, the capstone and the section below that says complete 9 hrs in upper division management or leadership coursework. Can these 9 upper division hrs be tested out of (CLEP or DSST) or do I have to take classes through TESC. If I can test out of them, any idea which tests will work? This is for a BS Organizational Leadership degree.

Upper Division Management or Leadership - jayashjian - 11-15-2014
Looking for a little guidance here. I am planning on contacting an adviser, but from my experience with the, I get different stories depending on which adviser I happen to talk to. I will meet the 24 credit hours with their online classes so I am hoping I can test out of the upper division courses. Any thoughts would be helpful. I haven't taken any straighterline courses or the TESCEP exams. I would be willing to if those are my only options outside of taking the actual classes.
