Thanks, Jennifer for your detailed response!

Were you able to find this level of information (the specific pros and cons) BEFORE you submitted an application (plus $75 fee) to each institution? If so, how? (just by phone calls?)

Or, did you just apply to both and see how you would come out best?

BTW, I failed to included the required (BSBM) TESC online of Managerial Communications. A whopping $530!

I'm sure I've missed some other things here and there on both sides...

Yes. The ability to count various DSST and CLEP (200 level and above) in the Major area of study seems to be a big plus!

Here is the link to the TESC college catalog:

On page 106 & 107 you will find a list of all the CLEP and DSST tests and how they fit into each level (100, 200, 300 or 400).

Does anyone know if Excelsior has a similar equivalence chart printed somewhere in their materials?
