    Default Upper Level Elective for Excelsior

    I need 3 upper level elective credits for Excelsior's Business degree. I've taken the Dantes MIS test. I'm looking for any ideas (you know the normal) for a cheap, easy, quick way to fulfill the requirement. I'm looking at business law II, but there doesn't seem to be many study guides on this test. Online classes, Clep, or Dantes are the choices I'm looking at.

    How about DSST - Civil War, Rise & Fall of the USSR, or Drugs & Alcohol or does it need to be business related??

    Thanks for the reply, but they need to be business related.

    Upper Level Credits aren't good enough (I wish they were). They have to be Business Related.

    Maybe run it by your advisor just in case. but... I highly doubt that Civil War or Rise and Fall of USSR will qualify.

    ... just based on previous postings from previous posters and moderators here in this forum.

    bummer
