Which CLEP/DSST/SDC count as UL credit? - Amberlinjeanne - 05-06-2022
I know TESU did some restructuring this past year with transfer credits and I’ve read that their study.com credit equivalents change often. I was wondering if anyone who had transferred recently had an idea for which DSST/CLEP and Study.com credits transfer as upper level credit?
I am not currently enrolled, but planning to knock out a handful more of DSST/SDC before enrolling in a BA Psych program at TESU. I am unclear on whether the Human Resources DSST is upper or lower level.
Please see below for completed exams.
Thanks in advance!

No CLEP exams count: https://iq3prod1.smartcatalogiq.com/Catalogs/Thomas-Edison-State-University/Current/Undergraduate-Catalog/Methods-of-Learning-and-Earning-Credit/Exam-Programs/CLEP-College-Level-Examination-Program/Listing-of-CLEP-Exams
DSSTs depend on when you took them. This is the current catalog: https://iq3prod1.smartcatalogiq.com/en/Catalogs/Thomas-Edison-State-University/Current/Undergraduate-Catalog/Methods-of-Learning-and-Earning-Credit/Exam-Programs/DSST-Exams/Listing-of-DSST-Exams I don't think any of yours have ever been considered UL, but I could be mistaken.

From reading your previous thread, it seems you're willing to go for a BALS. It all depends, a BALS with Psychology concentration may work for you as well. Are you set on Missouri State for the Masters? jsd reminded you that there are some entry requirements, just make sure you hit those and you should be fine.

I have actually decided on Truman State for my Masters! They seem to have more lenient requirements and I figure worst case scenario - if they don’t like all of my non-traditional credits, I can likely weasel my way in with a decent GRE score! I have 6 RA UL credits and am planning to take social psychology UEXCEL which I believe is UL? I just wanted to plan in some more to make sure I have enough when I transfer to TESU. I just have been getting nervous since I’ve seen some talk about TESU removing some of their SDC credits so I’m trying to hustle and get them done. Truman seems to value a degree in a “related field” which is why I want to the BA psych

Ah yes, I see, I wrote a thread about a few universities in Missouri, Truman State was one of them! They have 4 online graduate programs that are somewhat affordable. I assume you're going for the MA in Counseling one? It's the most expensive of the online programs... It doesn't specifically say what is required.

The HRM DSST is LL, and besides, it doesn't matter at TESU because all of your UL credits need to be in the AoS (Major), and HRM is a Free Elective for this degree.
At Study.com, the only UL Psych options are:
PSY 312: History & Systems of Psychology >> PSY-400
PSY 310: Psychology of Personality >> PSY-352
BUS 323: Organizational Theory >> PSY-360
