Need UL Exam Advice! - marianne202 - 07-16-2009
Ok, so I finally got the word from EC about what I need to complete my BSLS while I finish my BSHS. I need 9 UL Arts and Sciences (1 has to be a Psych course) & 12 UL any subject area. I already plan on taking 2 ECE's - Research Methods in Psych and Human Resource Mgmt. This should knock out the Pscyh requirement and 3 any subject area. But I'm still stuck with the rest to fulfill. What exams will fill the UL requirement? Keep in mind that I don't do history, unless it is very, very easy I won't even attempt it! Hint: American Govt was my worst exam and I studied the most for it!
Please send me your suggestions for UL credit. I would like to avoid any more ECE's due to the cost if possible, but I may have to take some, so if anyone has taken any that are not that bad and have IC materials or other easy study materials please let me know. I would like to make another marathon run like before and see if I can blow out this degree by the end of Sept. or sooner! Thanks for your help!

I found Substance Abuse and Management Information Systems to be very doable UL exams. Both are Applied Professional.
For UL Arts & Sciences, I'd recommend DSST Civil War, even though it's history because it's seems to be the easiest of the UL DSST exams. There aren't many UL DSST to choose from, so I took several UL ECEs. I didn't study for them at all and got B's and C's, so any serious study should yield pretty good results. Check out my signature block to see which ECEs I took.
I'm not sure why you need 12 UL '"anything" credits. The BS-LS only requires 9 UL Applied Professional credits along with the 21 UL Arts & Sciences.

Good question Joel. I'm not sure she said I had all the credits I needed to complete the depth in health sciences and she said I only needed one more Psych class to complete the depth in that, so I'm not sure where the other credits are coming in, unless she meant to say 12 anything credits, because I did need some final LL Gen Ed, now 9.34 credits in that area. Maybe I will have to clarify that with her. I certainly don't want to create more work than I need for myself.

I would take all psych courses for your ULs if possible. I did that a few months ago, and found that one segways to the next.
Gerentology and Pych of the Adults and Aging can be studied for at the same time.
A good sequence would be:
Gerontology
Psych of Aging
Research Methods in Psych
Social Psyc
Abnormal Psyc
Add the above mentioned Substance abuse, and MIS exams and you are at 24 credits.

I am looking at doing my BSN thru Excelsior...they just told me that Foundations of Gerontology was not psych credit but sociology credit..anyone eles get this from them?

Derrik,
They applied my Foundations of Gerontology as a social science/history credit on my transcript. I hope this helps. It sure had a lot of psychology theories and info for being a social science exam, but I guess I can see it is how we relate to society as we age. Does anyone know if the same is true for adulthood and aging?

This is a great idea because LEED APs are not all created equal. A developer or operator meeting a LEED AP at a conference currently has no idea what that person specializes in based on his accreditation. So now all new LEED APs will receive additional characters after their LEED AP title including:
