Suggestions for a area of focus in Psychology - marquardt21 - 05-17-2014
I had planned on doing a area of focus in Admin/Management with a depth in history. I have decided that I will skip the depth in history and do a 2 area of focus in psychology. What would be your suggestions for test to complete the psychology area of focus. Any information would be helpful.

I thought Psychology was an area of focus

It is a area of focus. My plan is to do one in Psychology and one in admin/management.

I don't understand your question but maybe this will assist you in completing the requirements for an area of study.

Thanks to soliloquy's posting of the link to the Excelsior catalog, I finally understand what an "area of focus" is and think I can help you with your question. (Area of focus being 21 total credits in one subject - 6 being upper level)...
All the Lower Level Psychology Tests - 9 credits
CLEP's
Introductory Psychology
Human Growth and Development
Introduction to Educational Psychology
Upper Level Psychology Tests - 12 credits
ECE/UExcel's
Abnormal Psychology
Social Psychology
Psychology of Adulthood and Aging
Foundations of Gerontology
or
Research Methods in Psychology
That will do it - I'm unfamiliar with DSST's so substitute any DSST's that fit into the Psychology category. If you're an Excelsior student, be sure to check with your advisor to make sure my suggestions are correct.
Hope this helps.
Suggestions for a area of focus in Psychology - NAP - 05-18-2014
In addition to the info above, my unconfirmed guess has been that if it counts for the major it will also count toward an area of focus or a depth.
A few years ago, a forum member was allowed to use ALEKS Stats (3 UL) toward a depth in psychology. That may be worth checking into, also. Here is the post:
