How to get upper level credit - Keshi - 01-22-2018
Hello,
I’m trying to get a history degree from excelsior, I have a partial degree road map so far, with 15 upper level credits from DSST that I think fit with the requirements.
I am lacking 15 upper level credits still, and specifically, I need a:
-world history
-Upper level non western history
-European history
What other resources are there for upper level credit?
Thank you

Doesn't the History of the Soviet Union DSST count as UL non-western history?
Shmoop has European history (LL) available.
SL has World History (LL) available.

Yes so I think I’m really only lacking upper level European history and then the other required upper level credit. What is SL

Also, I already have 21 credits, should I enroll now, or wait until I have all my credits?

You can use TECEP and UExcel exams for upper level credit.
https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/Testing.cfm There aren't any TECEPs for upper level history.
http://www.excelsior.edu/exams/choose-your-exam World Conflicts is upper level history.

The DSST exams Vietnam War, Civil War and Soviet Union are all upper level credits that should count towards history. Thise are the exams I had to take for my history core. Very doable tests if you use the feedback and flashcards on this site!!
