Thanks for your reply.I need any subjects.It could be liberal arts or science.They dont require any specific subjects.This is what NY state told me.
"[u]The additional studies may be in liberal arts/sciences and professional subjects which do not duplicate other college credit. You can also substitute for a college course a satisfactory score on an acceptable college proficiency examination, such as CLEP www.collegeboard.org/clep and DANTES www.getcollegecredit.com, which does not duplicate other college credit. Any college proficiency examinations may not include your native language/s. Additional college studies could include (but are not limited to) graduate coursework toward an advanced degree in a field related to veterinary medicine.[/u]

In order to gain 15 hours,how many subjects will i have to take?

It depends. Usually 5 classes, though.

What about a music theory class, psychology, communications, a computer course; things like that. Those are pretty straight forward and generally, if you know the subject matter, can easily be tested out of. It sounds like they are wanting you to get those "general" requirements that the undergraduate degree would require in NY. Maybe you could find a course catalog at the college you want to take your CLEP tests at and see what they offer, then pick out your courses from there.

If the courses are 3 credit hours each you will need 5 and if they are 4 credit hours each you will need 4. Most general requirement type courses are 3 credit hours each.
