Depths at Excelsior?
#7
Okay maybe we could get a list started to give some good ideas of what a depth looks like.

Depending on the degree, both depths may have to be 12 credits in a single arts and sciences discipline with 3 upper level, as in a BALS, or one of the depths could be 12 credits in a single applied professional discipline with 3 upper level, as in a BSLS.

I look at the Majors and Areas of Focus (minors) for ideas.

There is lots of room for variation with depths; these are just some examples.

History – US History I CLEP, US History II CLEP, choose another history exam (adding another UL credit here could be helpful overall), Civil War DSST UL
At first, I thought a depth had to be as specific as US History, but it seems that it just needs to be History.
[Update: American Government (political science) and Social Science & History CLEPs will not count toward a history depth.]

Math – College Math CLEP, 1 ALEKS math, ALEKS Stats UL
This also is the maximum amount of credit that is allowed under the level of Calculus.
[Update: Statistics does count as math, but it does not count toward the 3 courses below calculus policy. Statistics through ALEKS counts as upper-level credit, and can be used to fulfill a depth in math.]
[Update: College Math CLEP (6 credits) counts as 2 courses below the level of Calculus. Three levels of math through ALEKS (9 LL credits) plus Statistics through ALEKS (3 UL credits) would be the least expensive way to complete a depth in Math.]

Foreign Language – ACTFL 8LL + 4UL
(If you build a depth in foreign language through individual exams/courses, I do not know if they have to be all in the same language.)

Psychology, Sociology and Business are other areas in which tests can be used to fulfill a depth, but I don’t know enough about them to give examples.

Graduates and almost graduates, please add more ideas. Thank you!
