Hi bmills,
Excelsior will accept either of those two computer exams to fulfill the "computer" requirement. You are also allowed take BOTH computer exams and earn six credits. Some schools will only accept one or the other, but Excelsior will accept both.
Assuming you can use the three extra elective credits, I would encourage you to take both exams close together if possible.
Hope that helps,

I'm a bit confused..... When you talk about the "Computer" requirement, are you referring to the Information Literacy course? Is that the same thing, or is there another computer requirement? :confused:

There is a Business Core Requirement that is a computer requirement. It is not the Info Lit course. It may not apply to other degrees outside the business school.

Sorry if we scared you for a moment there loredia!

As StealingDreams mentioned, all the Business degrees at Excelsior include at least one computer course as part of their core requirements. This does not apply to any of the Liberal Arts degrees.
However, the one-credit Information Literacy course is a requirement which applies to ALL Excelsior degrees.
You can relax again now,
