I just spent a few minutes looking deeper on the Natural Science & Math Concentration, as it applies to the new TESC policy. uhhh it's bad news for testers!
Using CLEP, DSST, or TECEP, there is not a single exam that counts as upper level science or math. There is no GRE option for TESC. Excelsior's system is under construction for a few hours, so I can't confirm if they are offering EC exams in upper level science. Ohio offers only 1 exam option, it's a 4 credit math which comes in as a 300 level, but Calc 3 is a pre-req lol. :eek:
For those wanting to take classes, TESC is only offering 1 course (6cr) in 300 level science- Global Enviro Change. Community colleges don't offer 300/400as well. I found a handful of class options that would work- Ohio and others offer independent study classes at the 300 level. Not a big deal if you don't mind doing the work, buying the books, etc.
Options? If you already have upper level science but no degree, you might be ok (as long as they don't impose expiration dates). If you can do a PLA, you might be able to squeeze out a few credits. But, IMO, the options are too few, this concentration is dead.
