Excelsior College and Clep Exams

Nursing Students Online Learning

So I just got my review back from Excelsior about what classes will transfer to the RN programs and they say I still need Written English, Information Literacy, Life Span Developmental Psych, Sociology, Microbiology, and 4 Arts and Sciences credits. Does anybody know which of these I can Clep?

Human Growth and Development CLEP in place of Lifespan, and Introductory Sociology for the sociology credit. There is no CLEP exam for Micro. The rest I'm not sure about because I had a ton of credits when I started EC.

You can do UEXCEL for the written English requirment, it cost about the same as a CLEP and is taken at PV test center.

Yup. I got a D on my EC written English test and my class advisor recommended UEXCEL. They also accepted CLEP for humanities which is 6 credits.
