Decided to stick with EC....

by CEB65RN

I have decided to continue my education with EC, since all of my credits are from them. For my BSN I still need 30 Gen ED credits, as I have no prior credits, except my ADN. Does anyone doing the RN to BSN with EC know if there is a limit to the Clep or Dsst credits they will take? I don't want to enroll until I complete some of these. And I could save a small fortune if I can clep or Dsst most of them. Thanks, Cissy

They'll let you CLEP almost everything, I think. The advisors are great. Give them a call.

Good luck with your EC BSN program. Keep us updated with how it is going. Not too many who are in the BSN program post about it here.

Thanks Sue, I did call them and got the "unofficial evaluation" I know what I need to take, I just wanted to be sure if I clep them they will accept all of them. Several of the Colleges I looked at will only accept up to 12 clep credits, and one wouldn't take my English Comp form EC, That is why I am staying with Excelsior, once I clep/dsst my gen eds, I will only need to take College Writing, Stats, and the Nursing courses to finish my BSN.
