Hi, I'm enrolled in a great program adult at Park College (www.park.edu). I'd like to speed up my degree effort. Are there any DL courses I can take an exam for and transfer the credits to PARK? Here is a list of the courses I'd like to test out of. CS205 Managing Information Syste CS219 Programming Fundamentals CS315 Computer Sys Analy & Design CS316 Comp Sys Analysis & Design CS360 Database Management MG360 Financial Management MG365 Organizational Behavior MK351 Principles of Marketing MG101 Introduction to Management MG352 Principles of Management Thanks in advance Steve
IF, that is, IF, Park accepts them, and accepts them in quantity, you may be able to test out in all of the above using proficiency examinations. Off the top of my head, I think all can be completed utilizing a combination of CLEP, DANTES, TECEP, and ICCP exams. I think you can use the TECEP for Database Management, ICCP for Systems Analysis, and the rest can be covered by CLEP and DANTES. Alternatively, it may be possible Park will accept the equivalent ICCP exams in place of the TECEP exam I have in mind. There are other issues of level, and what Park will consider upper division (300 level and above). It may be you would have to use the RCE/ECE exam rather than DANTES in the case of Org. Behavior, and one TECEP exam if they will not accept the CLEP Principles of Management as upper division. I think you will be safe level wise so far as the rest of the exams are concerned. Here's the item by item suggested substitution list: CS205 Managing Information Systems DANTES Management Information Systems CS219 Programming Fundamentals DANTES Intro to Computers with Programming in BASIC -OR- CLEP Info Sys and Computer App CS315 Computer Sys Analyis & Design ICCP Systems Development CS316 Comp Sys Analysis & Design ICCP Systems Development CS360 Database Management TECEP Database Management MG360 Financial Management DANTES Principles of Financial Management MG365 Organizational Behavior DANTES Organizational Behavior -OR- ECE Organizational Behavior MK351 Principles of Marketing CLEP Principles of Marketing MG101 Introduction to Management CLEP Intro to Business MG352 Principles of Management CLEP Principles of Management -OR- TECEP Principles of Management That substitute list may work pretty well if Park will accept multiple proficiency exams. You would have to explore this option with the Park powers that be, of course. More detail on many of the individual exams listed above, covering the hows and wheres, costs, difficulty, book lists, and on, can be found in the guides, "BA in 4 Weeks", and, "EARN A BUSINESS DEGREE IN 4 WEEKS", both accessible via the search facility on this board.
