Congrats! I'm just finishing the BSHS in Management. The only course you will be able to test out of in the HS core or concentration is the Research Methods exam with the ECE exam. If you want to take some of their nursing exams you can earn HS elective credit that way. You can test out of the humanities and statistics requirements. You can find all the exams that EC accepts in their credit by examination guide. Once you register on their website you can access this in their publication area. It will show all the accepted exams, their score and grading as well as how they assign the credit. Unless you have experience or have some medical classes you will have to take some some elsewhere to earn your health science elective credit. I had a ton of EMT and EMS classes as well as the EC nursing exams that covered mine. Feel free to PM if you have any questions. I will finish up 8/15. Good Luck!

Does anyone know of any univ/colleges with online course offerings for the HSC core at Excelsior?

If you were to consider the LS degree with a HS depth, you would have much more flexibility with your exams. I'd guess you could test out of most if not all of it, leaving you just the capstone, which you'd need to do anyway and maybe a few extra courses.
