    For Physics, Chem, Bio... do they require lab coursework that cannot be satisfied with ECE or other exams? I have AP Biology credit and would take the GRE subject and other exams.

    if you want a degree in bio, then you have to have labwork

    you can go to excelsior's site, get a userr name and then view the bio degree requirements

    but if you're doing a general degree, a psych degree or busness degree, then you don't need the lab. you can just use the AP credits to fulfill the general science requirements

    I have a username and looked at the Liberal Arts viewbook to see requirements. I don't see anything about labwork/biology mentioned. Also if you look at all the undergrad courses, there is only BIO 100, so what courses would even be possible? Are there Excelsior DL classes to fill the bio labwork requirement?

    At COSU or TESC would it be easier/quicker to get a degree in Bio?

    Thanks for your help.

    if you go to
    http://www.excelsior.edu
    then
    Excelsior College Publications Request
    then
    Guidelines for the Major in Biology
    you will see that two labs are needed, one upper-level
    but you can request a waiver for work or other experience

    try excelsior's DistanceLearn(R) database to find courses with labs

    be creative
    look for oceanography, marine science, biochemistry, anatomy, biology, zoology

    I don't know about the requirements at thomas edision or COSC

    I don't see "Guidelines for the Major in Biology", maybe because I am not a student yet? I have a free login and password. Thanks.
