Excelsior vs. COSC - Biology

[sanantone]

Thank you so much for posting this! I searched and searched this board about biology degrees, and the search box got me nothing. But when I posted my own question about BIO degrees yesterday, DegreeForum began reccing your posts left and right. Going off to read now ...

Again, thanks for posting this. I realize it's an older thread, but hopefully it's ok if I jump in with a couple questions.

Now that I've read, I have a question about the Excelsior one. On page 5, it says they gave you credit for UExcel Anatomy and Physiology, but on page  2, the Anatomy requirement is marked as unmet. Do they not count their own Anatomy exam toward that credit?

I was happy to see they accepted Straighterline Microbio toward their requirement.

If you've pursued with Excelsior, have you had any luck getting them to approve/ accept ULs from other colleges?

Also, the COSC one is really helpful. Their admissions told me CLEP would count for introductory bio—clearly it doesn't. Sigh. But 200 levels count as "beyond the introductory level"—that would make my upper levels a lot cheaper than when I was looking only at 300s and 400s.

Some of my credits couldn't be used in the major area of study because there's a minimum number of new credits needed after the last degree conferral.
