I attended an open house there a few years ago and they said they would accept Excelsior exams to fulfill all prerequisites.

Contrast that to NYU's school of nursing --- they wouldn't accept ANY exam or ANY online course for ANY prerequisite -- even an online course in Life span Developmental Psychology
