I am a Liberal Arts student at excelsior and I only need upper level credit left to graduate. I am looking for the easiest fastest options for upper level credits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also heard that ALEKS math courses are upper level at excelsior?? Thank you

A bunch of the DSST tests are upper level and they are $80 plus a proctor fee. A bunch of ECE/Uexcel tests are upper level and they are $99 plus a proctor fee. All doable.

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

I second the DSST exams. That is what I used. It was fast, easy and inexpensive. They also have a few EC exams that are UL credits. Good luck!

What about TEEX courses? I am looking there now and they have some that transfer to upper level credit. Does anyone know if excelsior will take these as upper level courses? How many I can transfer in? Looks like a fast way to earn upper level credit with no testing.
