Excelsior College Examinations Administered Internationally

Excelsior College Examinations are now administered internationally at select Pearson Professional Centers. You need not be an enrolled student in an Excelsior College degree program (unless you are pursuing an associate degree in nursing) to take an examination at a Pearson Professional Center. If you are unable to test at a Pearson Professional Center, you should contact the Test Administration office at Excelsior College for further information.

To view the international test centers that are available, click on the “Locate a Test Center” tab on the right hand side of this page. Additional locations will be added to the list as they become available. You must register for the examination by contacting Excelsior College at 888-647-2388 (ext. 166) or 518-464-8500 (ext. 1-6-6).
