My degree is now what is holding me back not work experience. I'm single, no kids, low work load so I should have plenty of time to study.

It is possible to complete MOST requirements for a business degree through CLEP/DSST tests. Excelsior has recently changed requirements that the capstone Business Policy course must be taken at Excelsior. However, even with that requirement, it is entirely possible to test out of all the rest of the courses in about a year. I personally tested out of 58 credit hours in six months, so it is definitely possible.

If you haven't created an account at the Excelsior website, go ahead and do that because it is free and you need to have an account to download publications. Once you have an account, go to https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_...s_Before_Login and download the School of Business Catalog and the Student Guide to Credit by Exam at Excelsior College & The Assessment Catalog. That should help you get started in matching exams to specific degree requirements. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask.

Good luck,
