- clavalle 13y agoLooking through the CLEP tests... It appears that they mostly cover freshman/sophomore level material. There are certainly not enough to get a full-fledged degree.
- dublinben 13y agoI never implied they were. They're designed exactly to let you test out of those introductory classes you think "won't teach you anything" you don't already know.
- clavalle 13y agoYeah...I was talking about classes through upper division coursework not just the introductory classes.
- barry-cotter 13y agoExcelsior college lets one transfer 117 of 120 credits or something similar and you can complete a business degree almost entirely by examination. No residency requirement either. If you just need some degree that's the way to go.
- clavalle 13y agoI'd wonder if any grad school in the country would let people in with a degree from Excelsior.
