these are the courses Excelsior accepts
Transfer College Credit for Online College Courses to Excelsior College - StraighterLine
my advice is to take any that would be found in any 2 year "real" college and would directly apply to your degree and don't worry about getting them approved
although Business Communications is on the list, I don't feel that it is something that is found at most colleges, so it is not a "standard" course
also, we don't know what degree you're applying for
if you're applying for a BS in Psychology then Business Communications just doesn't sound like the kind of course that fits with that
so Excelsior probably wouldn't approve it for that kind of degree
I've taken a bunch of CLEPs and a few DANTES exams and never got any of them approved first, but I only took exams that apply to a BS in Psychology or would be considered "normal" courses at any community college
