What English test will Excelsior accept?

I found your previous post fascinating , so I looked up the Gordon Rule.

This link has a list of courses that fulfill that rule in FL at one of their colleges.

Gordon Rule

Thank you.

I probably should have explained this a little better, though.

I attended Florida State University about a decade ago, briefly. The graduation requirements included something called the Gordon rule, which was divided into two parts. There was a math requirement, although I don't remember all the details.

The other requirement of the Gordon rule was the writing requirement. To earn the degree, we had to take four courses in writing...including English Comp I & English Comp II. The other two courses came from writing-intensive courses. There were quite a few from which to choose. Many were offered by the English department, but not all of them. I took a literature course and a philosophy course for my Gordon rule writing courses.

Anyway, the point is that the courses were designated as writing-intensive. I would assume that Florida isn't the only state whose universities have this sort of requirement, but I haven't exactly researched this for confirmation. Since two writing-intensive courses fulfill the Written English Requirement from Excelsior, I could have used those two courses to fulfill the WER.

In an ironic twist, I had already earned Advanced Placement English credit before I ever attended Florida State, so that was used for the Written English Requirement instead. Furthermore, in case anyone is wondering, the philosophy course counted toward the humanities requirement, and the literature course was considered duplicative of the GRE Literature and as such was not accepted for credit at EC. Go figure.
