Looking for online B&M schools accepting 90+credits

[littleloulou28]

Thanks for the responses! I am not sure what they mean by applied professional, I am so confused, I want to fill out an app so they can review my credits but the 75 dollars is a lot for me right now to have it end up not being worth anything.

Hey,

Applied professional are credits that would be related to the profession the degree is in. I'm in the EC BS in Health Sciences so my applied professional credits are EMS, EMT, Nursing & related courses. Now within each degree and school they will decide which exams like CLEP and DSST are applied professional credits, mostly they are anything that would fall outside the traditional arts & sciences. At EC in my BSHS "school" they consider the following DSST exams as applied professional: Intro to business, business law II, Business Math, Intro to computing, substance abuse, principles of finance, financial accounting , Here's to your health, HR management, Law enforcement, MIS, personal finance & principles of supervision. You can see how these are all geared towards a specific profession rather than the arts and sciences.

I know EC lists the breakdown of where they place these exam credits in their credit by assessement publication.

I hope this helps.

Yes, thanku that helps a lot! Does anyone know also if Fundamentals of accounting would fulfill the requirement for math credits in the AS Liberal Arts Degree at Excelsior?? If not...What classes in math would I need to take? I am pretty close if they accept everything but I have never taken a math or science class and it looks like I need 6 credits in those.

I think Accounting is treated as an applied course rather than a math course.

Go to ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math and sign up for the Beginner's Algebra course. If you get 70% or greater on the review, have it evaluated by ACE, then have the transcript sent to Excelsior College, and you'll have done the college's math requirement.

I clicked on the above link but cannot find the course, do I need to sign up before checking it out?

I am also wondering if anyone knows how long it takes to complete the Information Literacy class at Excelsior.

[Law-Dude]

Yes, you must sign up first in order to do the course. The course fee is only $20/month so if you manage to get a 70% review in the first month it'll only cost you $20 for the three credits.

In regards to your question about Information Literacy, it took me about half an hour because I did it through Penn Foster and then transferred the credit to Excelsior College. It also saves you a couple hundred bucks if you do it this way.

Thanks again, this may sound sumb but what do they mean by 6 credits in one area and 9 in each of the other two, and also what does an in depth credit mean?
