Not unless you enrolled in Excelsior's Psychology major prior to Jan 1st, 2007. They changed the policy to REQUIRE the History & Systems, and BioPsych. There is LESS freedom to choose your subjects now.
At this time, there is no place for ECE Fundamentals of Gerentology or ECE Psychology of Adulthood & Aging, other than as possible general electives.
Here is a list of the REQUIRED credits fro a Psych degree at Excelsior (and how they could be fulfilled):
Lower Level Requisites
------------------------
3 - CLEP Into to Psychology
3 - CLEP Intro to Educational Psychology
3 - DSST Principles of Statistics
3 - DSST Organizational Behavior (or ECE Upper Level version)
3 - CLEP Human Growth & Dev (or DSST Lifespan Dev Psych)
Upper Level Requisites
-----------------------
3 - ECE Research Methods in Psychology
3 - ECE Abnormal Psychology
3 - ECE Social Psychology
3 - History & Systems (find a course)
3 - BioPsychology (find a course)
Additional Requisites
-------------------
3 - DSST Ethics in America (or ECE Upper Level Ethics Theory & Practise)
1 - ECE Information Literacy
3 - Written English Requirement
1 - Research Writing (a new requirement that I am not sure about yet)
Obviously with 15 lower level and 15 upper level credits fixed in place by the policy, there isn't much room for flexibility anymore. Taking Gerentology and Psych of A&A would add perhaps unnecessary credits, but it would allow you to take a couple of the upper level reqs as lower level classes if you preferred (since you MUST have at least 15 upper level Psych credits for the major).
Hope that helps,
