Thank you, Jennifer, for your detailed reply. You are a wealth of information! You are right about checking with the state in which you will be taking the CPA exam. Here is what the NASBA says about sitting for the exam in Minnesota:

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
• Commercial CPA review courses are not acceptable.
• Photocopies or transcripts “Issued to Students” are not acceptable.
• Education earned at a community college or 2-year degree granting institution is acceptable.
• Upper division is normally defined as junior or senior level. In accounting, this would be all courses taken beyond the elementary level.
• Graduate level is defined as courses that apply towards an advanced degree offered by an accredited educational institution offering bachelor's and graduate degrees in business or accounting.
• Correspondence, on-line courses and CLEP credit are acceptable when an applicant receives credit for the courses at a regionally accredited university. These courses must appear on an official transcript. Course evaluation is not acceptable.)

So, I guess my daughter is fine with the CLEP courses she has taken so far as they will all be transcripted by TE eventually and become part of her BS degree. She may then go on to a graduate degree at a local college to earn the rest of the 150 credits necessary to sit for the CPA exam.

Thanks again to all who chimed in on this thread,
