    Does anyone know if TESC accepts any CLEP exams as upper-level credit?

    Depends on what you mean by upper level. TESC has Sophomore level credit. So some of my classes for my two year degree were "upper level" in that sense.

    You might need to check with TESC directly on this. OTOH, I remember a thread on this topic -- maybe some smart person will find it.

    I know that TESC considers anything beyond freshman level upper level. So if, for example, the CLEP lit analysis exam correlates to TESC's lit analysis class, which is 200-level, then it would be an upper level exam. Pretty sweet if it works.

    Okay I looked it up to remind me and the 2005-2006 catalog says that these CLEP's are 200 level or above:

    Introductory Business Law
    Principles of Management
    Principles of Marketing
    Calculus
    Human Growth and Development
    Intro to Educational Psychology

    All the rest are 100 level.

    There are a slew of Dantes that are 200 level or above. You can check out the current catalog which is downloadable as a pdf from the website.

    If by upper-level you mean 300 level classes, then the answer is yes.
    You are wrong.
