CBE and Medical School Prerequisites in Texas

[publius2k4]

Just for clarification, are CLEP/DSSTs accepted for the other prerequisites, such as GEs?

I'm trying to help a friend out (also military) if I can, as he's trying to commission as a nurse, but each time I bring up CBEs he immediately stops me with "lab requirement."

I wasn't sure from the reading here so far; it almost sounds like it's school-dependent.

With regard to nursing, this depends on the school. There is a pretty big school in my town that offers everything from ASN to NFP, and they accept CBE's for some of their science content. Remember, that on this site, Straighterline courses tend to get grouped with CBE...

My advice to your friend is to find out if the program he's applying into will accept the straighterline labs with CLEP Biology, ECE Anatomy and Physiology, etc.

Also, all of the Big 3 offer hard sciences with labs in some capacity or another.
