Excelsior will also accept TECEP English Comp I (from Thomas Edison):

http://www.tesc.edu/students/tecep/teceplist.php

One potential benefit of taking this exam, is that it is pass/fail. So if English is not your thing, or you are concerned that taking one of the ECE exams will harm your GPA, this TECEP might be the way to go.

I have read feedback from a few different people who have taken this exam, and they all felt that it was a very simple and straightforward exam to pass.

The downside to this exam is that it costs $450.00, and you have to find your own proctor. Also, you have to register a month in advance, and they take FOREVER to get your score to you.

It's an option though.

Chances are, you will have to take a couple of TECEPs anyway, in order to fulfill all the requirements for your Business degree (Eg, Business Policy, and Operations Management). So, you could just as easily take three as two.

Hope this helps,
