I am pursuing a BS in General Business, and two core requirements I need to take, Business Policy & Strategy and Production/Operations Management, are only offered by examination by TECEP. Excelsior previously had ECE's covering these courses, but they discontinued them both last year. So I either have to take the course or these exams.
BTW, I find out that the local community college does proctor exams for a fee. These two exams are both 3 hours long, and at $25 for first hour and $15 per additional hour per exam, it's going to cost me $115 just for proctoring. Each exam already costs $420. <Sigh> At least it's cheaper and faster than taking the course!
That makes tons of sense, I guess I just hadn't seen the acronym before. Thanks for the clarification! Those core requirements are a pain, I have to take a couple for Excelsior as well (hence the Gerontology exam).
Proctoring is expensive! But as you said, the upside is it's local and still cheaper than a class - not to mention faster! Good luck!!
