CLEP/DSST transfer equivalence to Excelsior Bachelor requirements?

Actually, on second thought, instead of paying $50 immediately to EC, I would recommend spending $79 on a month of Sophia first. There are a number of courses that EC will accept, especially for a business degree. I would especially recommend Business law and Project Management but really do whatever doesn't cover something that you've already taken a CLEP/DSST for: https://excelsior.sophia.org/#courses

Why would you do this? If you complete 2 or more Sophia classes, you get your application fee waived at EC. If you take 12 or more EC credits (and there's a good chance that you'll need to even though they technically only require 7), you also qualify for reduced tuition and other fees. https://www.excelsior.edu/partner/sophia/

Even if you only finish 4 Sophia classes in a month, that's like getting credits for less than $2.50 each! $79 Sophia - $50 EC application fee = $29 / 12 credits = $2.42 per credit.
