I'm not familiar with the requirements for a degree in History, but have you looked into Excelsior's UExcel exams - specifically World Conflicts since 1900? Also, you do know you cannot completely test out of any degree from Excelsior - at the very minimum, you need to take their proprietary Capstone course, and find an acceptable Information Literacy course.

Have you looked into online courses from outside institutions? BYU, LSU, etc. have numerous upper level course offerings...Be sure to get approval from your advisor before signing up, but it is another options for gaining credits.

I'm sure others here with a history background can add to my post...

Good Luck!

Yeah the capstone class I was aware of but it seems their other requirements are put in place in such a way that you have no choice but to take electives from them to meet all your requirements. What other credit sources can I use besides CLEP DSST, and U Excel?
