    Default Bachelors Degree Finally in Reach!

    Professional student finally has Bachelors degree in reach Just three upper level exams left to take until I am finished with my Excelsior BS in Liberal studies degree. I am so happy; I discovered the Big Three and finally took the leap into the world of testing!
    I plan to take the following three exams to get across the finish line (BS Degree)...

    Civil War
    Drug & Alcohol Abuse
    Abnormal Psychology

    I am also planning on taking the follwoing exams as back up;
    Psychology of Adulthood and Aging
    DSST Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union

    I plan to take the exams below just because, I think I could pass them all with a little study combined with the fact these exams won't cost me and money since they are free to military members. Then maybe I get and additional BS or BA degree.
    Introductory Psychology
    CLEP Introductory Sociology
    CLEP Introduction to Educational Psychology
    CLEP Business law
    Dantes Business law II
    CLEP U.S. History I: Early Colonizations to 1877
    CLEP U.S. History II: 1865 to the Present
    CLEP Western Civilization I: Ancient Near East to 1648
    CLEP Western Civilization II: 1648 to the Present
    DSST Art of the Western World
    DSST Western Europe since 1945
    DSST An Introduction to the Modern Middle East
    DSST A History of the Vietnam War
    DSST Foundations of Education
    DSST General Anthropology

    LOL You sound like me--always learning and studying but never getting the degree. Only you're a lot smarter because you've at least been getting credits for what you studied!!! It would have been great to have known about the big three sooner but there's no stopping "us all" now.

    Luck wished on your future exams.

    Default help with Computer lower level courses

    Does anyone know if you can count the DANTES intro to computers and the CLEP Information Systems & Computer Applications as 3 credits + 3 credits = 6 credits towards a BS at Excelsior or Empire State or Thomas Edison?

    Thanks!
    Marty
