Upper Level Credits at Excelsior - via ACE?

ACC 303: Cost Accounting (ACE & NCCRS)
BUS 209: Mentoring & Leadership Development in the Workplace (NCCRS)
BUS 307: Leadership and Organizational Behavior (ACE & NCCRS)
BUS 308: Globalization and International Management (ACE & NCCRS)
BUS 312: Advanced Operations Management (ACE & NCCRS)
BUS 314: Employment Law (NCCRS)
BUS 315: Logistics and Supply Chain Management (ACE)
HOSP 301: Hospitality Marketing (ACE)
ENGL 305: Advanced Technical Writing (ACE & NCCRS)
SCI 102: Principles of Physical Science (NCCRS)
EDU 103: Classroom Management (NCCRS)
EDU 104: Differentiated Instruction (NCCRS)
EDU 105: Special Education History & Law (NCCRS)
HIS 306: The American Civil War Era (ACE & NCCRS)
HIS 308: Causes & Effects of the Vietnam War
NURS 301: Nursing Informatics (NCCRS)


Thanks a ton!!!  I actually think only a few of these will be acceptable for general arts/ sciences credits.  But, I'm super curious about that SCI 102: Principles of Physical Science course.  On Study.com's transfer page, they show it transferring to Excelsior as a lower-level credit.  But, NCCRS says it's an upper-level course.  I know that TESU always goes with the higher level, but I'm curious to know who wins with Excelsior.  I might shoot an email over to Study.com to see if they have an answer.  

Again, I appreciate all the input!

FYI - From the Study.com TESU Transfer tab - Science 102: Principles of Physical Science transfers as NAS-131 : Physical Science I
It all depends on the school and what they want to do with the course and how it transfers, the ACE/NCCRS recommendation isn't always followed and this is TESU's LL, I would expect the same from a "principles" of anything, they should be like an "introduction" to whatever the course is... You can try to "argue" with the school, but if both are treating it as LL... I guess it'll be LL even though NCCRS or ACE recommending as UL.

Keep in mind it's not in Excelsior's financial interest to tell you how to avoid paying tuition. But, if you click through the specific exams or courses, at the bottom of each will say LL or UL. They follow ACE, so no reason to think they won't honor a specific UL course.

NCCRS has some funky evaluations. While COSC normally follows ACE recommendations, they do not follow NCCRS recommendations for UL credit when it comes to Davar Academy. Physical science is almost always a LL course. Evaluating it as UL, especially at Study.com, is ridiculous.

I just downloaded it and put it with my "college stuff" folder.  I don't know why they don't have this on their website anymore, but at least this is a start.

I wish that also.  I wish they would come out with a 2018 version!

Excelsior College counted these two DSST as UL in my last review (3/2017) as UL Gen Ed:

DSST Soviet Union (not sure this is still given as an exam)
DSST Civil War

These are both still UL exams (per ACE), along with Vietnam - so good options if you like history.

I think I'm actually going to take the two upper-level history courses at Study.com - Vietnam & Civil War.  I already did the two lower-level courses.  I don't suppose they duplicate each other, do they?  I certainly hope I can get credit for both - and quick credit, too, as I've already watched many of the videos & taken the quizzes for the lower-level courses.

Thanks a ton for the help!

You could of course pay the  $80 to enroll and have straight up advice from the advisors and have them apply it to your MAP as approved exam, They are now following ACE

Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing
