Definately make sure CLEPs are accepted - like Jennifer said. You could check out the college board website -- maybe print some information out for your boss. ?? (Collegeboard.com)

If that checks out -- hhmmm... that humanities category might be a starting place. I'm not sure if the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature test would fit that category... That would be a good test. Social Science category: There's a Social Science and History CLEP that's 6 credits....

For CLEP/DANTE tests -- all you really need is the ability to study and take tests. Don't worry about being out of school for 7 years. YOU CAN DO IT!!
