To add to the great information from NAP and TMW2010 on depths which can be tested out.
For the BA/BS in Liberal Arts an arts depth in Literature could be:
CLEP English or American Literature 6cr LL
ECE American Dream 6cr UL
This might qualify for an even more specific depth of 'American Literature'. ECE's 'Arts and Sciences Examinations' description page classifies American Dream as 'Literature in English'. This is in addition to it being listed as Social Sciences/History, Humanities and Political Science.
Is it possible that this could be extended to an Area of Focus in Literature? (21 credits of which 6 credits must be upper level)
CLEP Analysing and Interpreting Literature 6cr LL
CLEP English Literature 6cr LL
CLEP American Literature 6cr LL
ECE American Dream 6cr UL
Edit: Having spent the past while looking for feedback regarding the ECE American Dream exam, it appears that it is probably not worth it. According to past feedback on the forum, it's an essay-based exam which requires an enormous amount of preparation, is somewhat ambiguous in its direction and requires a couple of months to be marked up and a grade returned. For 6 UL credits and a good chance of taking a hit to any GPA, the consensus is that there are better exams to take out there with respect to risk*effort*time -> reward.
