In the case of JFK, admission to their graduate program requires completed coursework in statistics, research methods in psychology, human development, and psychology of personality. The first three are part of Excelsior's major requirements for the psych degree. I was considering taking the individual tests for them even if I turn out to be STUNNINGLY BRILLIANT (ha!) on the GRE and get general credits that can apply to them. That way it is very clear to JFK that I met their criteria.

At COSC I don't think you have to deal with weirdness like EC's recent change in requirements...for the psych degree they now require courses in two areas where not only do they not have an exam, but they also DO NOT YET OFFER COURSES. I am going to see if psychology of personality falls into one of those categories (I think it should) and if so, I want to take it from JFK's undergrad program as a non-degree student and transfer that over. But what a mess trying to finagle all that! Why couldn't Excelsior wait until they had courses before changing their requirements? Okay, rhetoric question. Never mind. It's still better than the 2-1/4 years and $35-40k that JFK would cost me to complete my B.A.
