TESU - need 1 more UL elective for BA Communication. What are my test-out options?

[sung1contrarian]

Hello,

I am almost done with a BA in Communication from Thomas Edison State University and need one more upper level communication elective to graduate. The Capstone drained me and I am only interested in testing-out. The adviser is saying that my only options are the following two TECEPs:
[URL="http://www2.tesu.edu/tecep.php?CourseCode=MAN-373"]
MAN-373-TE Managerial Communications[/URL] (which I am told is fairly new, and seems so due to the lack of information about this test on a general online search)
or
MAR-321-TE Marketing Communications

My preference is to take a DSST or CLEP, since I heard TECEPs are harder and also the availability of study material. Seems like TECEPs usually require a reading of the text book(s).

Am I missing any other test-out options?

There are a bunch of electives listed on the Communications degree page but doesn't quite specify the exact courses.

Much appreciate any input!


***Here's the back story:

I just finished my Capstone and thought I was all done and was about to apply for graduation in June. My academic evaluation stated all requirements were met. Even still, I asked academic advising one last time to verify that I have met all the requirements for graduation since I didn't want to waste the application fee in case there was some issue. Low and behold, they noticed that the evaluation was wrong and I needed one more UL course in Communication. So now I am looking for a fast way to meet this requirement and graduate already!

I'm wondering if I had just applied for graduation, if this issue would have even been found since the original evaluation said I met all the requirement. Or is there a final in-depth evaluation that would have caught it anyways...In any case, below are the screen grabs from the original eval versus the newly update:

My suggestion would be to do a PLA Portfolio if you have any real-life experience you can document, but I haven't done one myself yet, so I am not speaking from personal experience. Thomas Edison State University | Prior Learning Assessment Course Description

No advice here. I just wanted to cheer you on as you reach the checkered flag.
You're almost done! :-) *early cheer!*

I'm 99.99% sure it would have been caught anyway. You need 18 UL and were short 3 UL. That's pretty hard to hide. It's better you found out now than be disappointed and crushed later while thinking you are done.

It would have been found when they audit your file for graduation.
