Where's that PDF that had a partial listing of schools attended by Excelsior graduates? Can't find it by searching the forums. Thanks.

I picked this up from another forum and wanted to pass it on to anyone who may be interested........It seems that EC/TESC/COSC will be accepting ACE Reviewed credit from McDonalds Hamburger U.

According to the article, "Those students will be able to earn up to 46 credits from HU which can be applied toward a bachelor or associate degree at Excelsior."[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Ok, to receive a business degree with a concentration in HR, I need to take two or three electives. However, the only colleges that I have in my area that offer courses such as Compensation and Benefits, Staffing, Training Development, etc., is Strayer. To be honest, I do not want to pay Strayer $1500, not including books, for each course. Does anyone know of any online colleges that offer HR courses at reasonable prices? Excelsior has two courses they offer in Managing Diversity and Leadership, but again, Excelsior charges close to $1000.

I used Excelsiors course search, but seem to hit a dead-end. I already have the plan for taking HRM, Organizational Behavior and Labor Relations, but I just can not find any other courses. Someone out there must have received or is studying HR and would be able to help me.

P.S. I am taking Analyzing and Interpreting Literarture tomorrow. I do not need the credits, but will use this exam to improve my GPA, if I pass..LOL.

There is a thread in the general forum about age of entrance to the "big 3" but I wanted to post this here since we have a poll about homeschool.
I know some of you are homeschooled high schoolers. I am a homeschool mom to 4 kids.
If you are taking CLEPs, DANTES, or APs (and passing) be sure your parent lists your high school courses as "College Prep" or in the case of AP tests as "Advanced Placement." Every CLEP/DANTES/AP exam should identify a course you completed. Don't miss any!! You will need to have a transcript, and this is a HUGE HUGE HUGE feather in your cap! Don't leave it out.
Here is an EXAMPLE using Psychology as an elective. (your transcript may vary based on your state law or your parent's opinion....one in the same:p )

Transcript:
Basic Psychology .5 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed the CLEP Psychology exam)
College Prep Psychology .5 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed the CLEP psych and edu psych)
Introduction to Psychology 1 credit *multiply by 1 for GPA

(if you passed AP psych with a 3 or higher)
AP Psychology .5 credit *and multiply by 1.5 for GPA

(if you passed AP psych with a 3 or higher and both psych CLEPs)
AP Psychology 1 credit *and multiply by 1.5 for GPA

Hello everyone,

I plan on taking DSST Business Law 2 soon and am trying to find additional info on this exam. I have seen a couple of threads on this test and Barron's Business Law is recommended, but based on the dsst fact sheet I can only find half of the info I would need. Is there anything else I can use for this test (have already done clep bus law test).

Cannot find much on this test, please help!

P.S.
Would the DSST practice tests help or like many of the other ones would it be a waste of time.

Thanks,
Mike

I took the principles of marketing clep and was able to get a 72. I was curious if anyone has also taken the prin. of management clep and if so, were there any similarities on the test? Or did you happen to find one harder than the other? I used REA book/CD on the marketing as well as the IC study area. I am going to be doing the same for POM. But I noticed that the REA book for management is about 2x as thick as the marketing one. Anyone with experience on both tests out there? Your opinion would be very valuable.

Thanks,

Mudrigg.

Aggh, I'm so fuzzy on this. This is a problem from the CLEP practice test. I'm putting parenthesis around things that are exponents, since there's no way to denote them:


If 8(x) = 15 and 8(y) = 25, then 8(2x +y) = ??????

I can't for the life of me remember how to work this problem and digging through my old math books shed no light. Any ideas?

This is a bit outside the CLEP/DSST realm, but I passed my PMI PMP certification today. It's a monster test, and supposedly quite difficult.

So now I am officially recognized as a practicing Project Management Professional + I get 3 upper level credits towards my BGB at Excelsior + I can get credit for 3 courses if I apply to Aspen's MBA in PM.

SWEET!

Info about the test:
200 questions - 4 hours to complete - and it's certainly a level above DSST/CLEP in difficulty
You must be able to demonstrate actual PM experience to be eligible to sit for the exams, the requirements are quite stringent
61% is the pass threshold, but it is only pass/fail - I scored a 74% and finished in 2 hours, but it still gave me a headache... (and I do real life PM!)

If anyone is interested in pursuing this, I can give alot of feedback
My employer put me through a 4k USD exam cram course last week provided by Cheetah, it definitely works!

Hi all!

I searched but did not find a thread on UPPER LEVEL ACCOUNTING (particularly as it applies to Excelsior College).

I satisfied my lower level in communitiy college (Principles of Accounting I & II). This leaves me with a lot of upper level stuff such as:

• Intermediate Accounting I
  
• Intermediate Accounting II
  
• Cost Accounting
  
• Taxation (US Tax)
  
• Electives
  

Aspen University is offering $1500.00 in tuition assistance between now and August 15th. This is if you pay your tuition in full. This brings the cost of a degree to $3000.00 not counting books and materials. Please note they are nationally accredited, not regionally.

I've applied to their MBA program. Hope this info may be of assistance to others on the board.
