It means learning in one branch of knowledge. Like for Excelsior's depth requirement, you could complete a depth in the history discipline by taking U.S. History I, U.S. History II, Social Sciences and History, Civil War and Reconstruction, and Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union, and you will have completed one depth in History, which is a single arts and science discipline. You can complete your depth in Humanities, math, science, whatever. That was just an example. Does that make sense? I hope that helps!

So it's basically how they break down the CLEP and DSST exams on their lists?
Humanities Social Sciences/History Natural Sciences/Mathematics Applied Professional Or is it broken down further?

That quote from your first post, "a single applied professional or arts and sciences discipline," refers to your major or your depth requirement. It just means you have to earn a certain number of credits in one field of study, one subject area, one branch of knowledge. Just the way you would do with a major--any major. Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Political Science, Underwater Basket Weaving, etc. Any discipline you could use as a major can be considered a single discipline of study. Which exams count depends on what you choose as your major or depth requirement. Hope this answers your question! Sorry if I confused you even more!
