Plan and Costs for Associate in Science Degree at Excelsior College

[NAP]

so they gave you credit for CLEP Natural Sciences and CLEP Bio and CLEP Chem ?
I thought for sure the Bio and CLEP would duplicate the Natural Sciences

same for CLEP College Math and Algebra 2, I'm really surprised

Yes, I earned all of those credits without duplication issues at EC.

It's always best to check with your advisor and the latest Student Guide to Credit by Exam - https://www.excelsior.edu/469 Hopefully, there will be a new one available soon.

Based on a recent conversation with an advisor, I believe it is still possible to take all 3 CLEPs - Biology, Chemistry, and Natural Science - without duplication.

I was planning to take the Physical Science DSST to finish my bachelor's degree, but I was told last week that it would duplicate Chemistry and Natural Science(?) CLEP. (This is different than what I was told by my advisor in 2011.)

I took the College Algebra II & Analytic Geometry course to make sure I was ready for Calculus. There wasn't an issue of duplication with the level of College Math CLEP, but I was grateful that I was allowed to go backward and pick up those credits.

Also, in the past year, we have learned that the Intro to Computing DSST and new version of Information Systems & Computer Applications CLEP are being considered duplicates.

I hope the updated Student Guide to Credit by Exam will make all of the duplication issues clear.
