Hi everyone! Late 40's student looking to finally get my degree...
I am trying to use CLEP exams to get as close as possible to a BA in Psychology (my intention is then to proceed to another university to get a masters). My understanding is currently Excelsior accepts more CLEP exams than TESU or COSU, so that might be the way to go.
Can someone help me figure out which university is the best choice and also which CLEP exams I need to take in order to get a Psychology degree? I have gone through the Wiki and the forums, but I'm still not quite clear on exactly which exams to take and how best to move forward.
Thanks in advance for your help!
