Columbia Southern University Exam Alternatives - lupin26 - 11-07-2015
Hello,
I obtained my associate's degree this year with some awesome help from members of this board. I'm currently having my transcripts evaluated for a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Columbia Southern University. In the meantime, I'd like to find some CLEP, DSST, and TECEP (I've read you can take them even if you're not enrolled) alternatives to the major requirements on this page: B.S. Business Administration . Some, like Introduction to Business are fairly obvious - the DSST has the same name - but others are more difficult to place. Thank you!

No, I didn't. Thanks! I forgot to mention CSU also accepts Uexcel exams from Excelsior.

They will also easily accept ALEKS courses including beginning algebra.

Awesome, thanks. The only courses that don't have a CLEP/DSST alternative off those lists are BBA 3651 Leadership and BBA 4951 Business Policy and Strategy.

They also accept lower level course to replace their uppper level. Even though it wont satisfy the 36 UL requirement, if you took a leadership course a your CC it'll replace the BBA 3651.

You may be able to take Strategic Management instead of Business Policy and Strategy, I would check. TESC's Strategic Management course used to be called Business Policy, so I think they're similar if not the same. There's a TECEP, as well as a Penn Foster ACE-approved course.

I really appreciate that. I'll run it by my advisor once the evaluation is complete. I'm currently looking for a Leadership alternative. No community college around my city has one...

Not the cheapest, but BYU-IS has ORG B 347: MANAGERIAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT $534

My employer reimburses me for all expenses, so cost isn't an issue (thankfully!)
