One of the things we recommend here for things like this (impossible to test out of): you could get a BA in General Studies for about $5000 via test-out, and then spend the big bucks on a Masters degree in Geology. Help with degree plan for Bachelor Science Geology - OakLakeNC - 12-16-2016 The closet thing at Excelsior would be a degree in Natural Science with a Geology focus. I'm not sure where the best place to get Upper Level Science classes would be- but they will have to come from a traditional college. The only Upper Level science tests I know of are Uexcel's Pathophysiology and Bioethics. There plenty of LL credits through testing. CLEP has Natural Science, Biology and Chemistry. Those three tests equal 18 credits. You can get Lab credit through Straighterline (a little pricey) or your Community College. DSST has Astronomy, Environment and Humanity, Health, and Principles of Physical Science. Study.com has Geology, Environmental Science, Physics, etc... Saylor Academy has an Environmental Ethics/Law course. I would start was those three CLEP tests, since Natural Science, Biology and Chemistry credits are going to required anywhere you go for a Geology degree.

The only Upper Level science tests I know of are Uexcel's Pathophysiology and Bioethics. I wouldn't spend any time on the CLEP tests yet, since you don't know if the college you'll end up with will accept the exams. Instead, I would spend my time researching schools and degrees to figure out where I would want to go. If you do end up at one of the Big 3, you will probably want butt-in-seat science classes on the transcript. Those are really important, and probably a requirement if she wants to continue on at grad school. Even if she doesn't, I'm not sure what kind of job she would want to get, and what they would look at, if she tested out of everything. With science, that seems a big risk to take.
