Psychology Road Map at the Big Three
#1
So, I'm working out the details of one of two possible degrees. Degree (A) BS in Business, Degree (B) BS in Psychology. Either should do for a management job in my estimation and the latter has a reduced math requirement which I find attractive.

Building a road map for Business where I CLEP/DSST out of nearly everything and Study.com the rest was a fairly simple process. If I follow that road map, I'll only need to take my capstone course at Excelsior and a one credit "Information Literacy" course. That's it.

Building a road map for Psychology at Excelsior seems a lot harder. For one, the degree requirements PDF vague, at least in comparison to the Business requirements PDF. So, it's a lot less clear which course corresponds to what requirement. Also, while they mention a capstone requirement they don't specify the capstone course. Eventually, I inferred it's probably the Liberal Arts capstone; that's just an educated guess.

It seems Excelsior used to accept GRE exams as credit for psychology but has seen fit to abandon the practice. I read on another thread that Charter Oak accepts GRE for psychology, but I'm a little reluctant here. (There is a PDF that spells it out.)

First, I read (somewhere) that all Charter Oak degree "concentrations" don't hold the same weight as concentrations at other colleges and that they're effectively General Studies degrees in their respective fields. Is that accurate? Also, how are GRE credits reflected on the college transcript?

Second, has anyone anyone recently CLEP/DSST/Study.com (et al) the heck out of a psychology degree at any of the "big three" without the benefit of GRE test scores?

Third, does anyone on how to side-step the Information Literacy course (at 1 credit / $510) and replace it with something else from CLEP/DSST or some less expensive source?

Thanks for the help / feedback.
