UMPI vs Excelsior

[rachel83az]

How do you feel about papers? If you hate papers and prefer exams, Excelsior would be the way to go. If you can write papers quickly, UMPI could be faster and cheaper even if they don't take most of your UoPeople credits.

As for the language requirement at UMPI, Spanish through InstantCert is supposed to be pretty easy. If you took German or French in school, however, taking a CLEP exam might be easier for you. There are three CLEP exam locations in the UK, two of which are public. One is in London (N32BS) and the other is in Salford - near Manchester (M74NU). https://clep.collegeboard.org/clep-test-center-search You might even be able to take the exam for free (not counting travel expenses) via ModernStates.org.

Cost of traveling to London for each exam makes CLEP a no go, (expecially if I don't get them free too), unless I schedule them all for the same day and pass them all (looking as multiple subjects). Can't believe only those in the US can take them online.

How many UL courses are required for the BSLA & BALA from Excelsior?

I actually thinking of going the SDC route and doing the history course

You need 30 credits (usually 10 courses) of UL credits.
