I also have already passed Intro to Psych. (clep), Human Growth & Development (clep) and Principles of Statistics (dsst), as well as Fundamentals of Counseling(dsst) and Organizational Behavior (dsst).
I know that I need Reasearch Methods to fullfill the core requirements, so that is one I don't have a problem with.
Now, if I take Abnormal Psych., Social Psych. and Adulthood & Aging, would I be duplicating Drugs & Alcohol abuse or any other credits mentioned above? If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mateo,

None of the exams you mentioned would duplicate D&A Abuse. However, be advised that DSST Fundamentals of Counseling and DSST Drug & Alcohol Abuse will NOT count towards your Psychology major. They are both counted as Applied Professional credits. You shouldn't count them towards your 30 credit Psych major.

On the plus side, you CAN count CLEP Intro to Psych, DSST Organizational Behavior, CLEP HG&D, and DSST Principles of Statistics as lower level credits towards your major.

In addition, you will need to take ECE Research Methods, ECE Social Psychology, ECE Abnormal Psychology, CLEP Intro to Educational Psychology, History & Systems of Psychology, and Biological Psychology.

The last two on that list are not available as exams. Therefore, you must take a full course to fulfill those two requirements.

Hope that helps,
Snazzlefrag
