You don't need to wait for your MSL to confer.I'm moving more in a history direction because it seems a little easier to swing.
Clep - History and Social Science, pre civil war history, world civ 1 and French (if I go UMPI)
DSST - Rise and Fall of USSR, Vietnam War and History of Civil War
Uexcel - world Conflicts of the 1900s and World Population (really wanted to do cultural diversity but the sitting fee is $355)
Saylor - The Polisci exams that still have ACE credit...(worth a shot)
Some Coopersmith upper level History (already know it won't work at cosc)
I'm thinking COSC, TESU or UMPI. From what I gather its a little more opaque whether I can do a second bachelors at excelsior. I got an email from a random admissions counselor after signing up for a couple uexcels so I replied with my situation. If I hear back and its positive I'll apply their as well since its free.
You definitely need to pick a school before taking any exams. UExcels are going away so forget them. Excelsior will require you to complete 30 UL credits. The must be completed after your first bachelor's degree is conferred and yes all 30 MUST be upper level. For a second bachelor's I'd look at UMPI or TESU. I know at UMPI you will not need to fill the GEC or the general electives. You'll need to complete 30 credits (LL and UL) at UMPI in the major/minor. Excelsior does not want to give second bachelor's degrees. I tried a year or so ago and was given the run around.
