Testing=Graduate credits

Hi,
I am reevaluating my graduate school choice. As I completed my BS via testing, can I do the same for a grad degree? Excelsior allows a good deal of credits in transfer; just wondering what source I can access for these credits.
thanks in advance!

 

Elsewhere, you wrote: "I have enrolled at Queen Margaret University College in Edinburgh, Scotland. They have the only MBA course in Golf & Country Club Management in the world -- my profession."

So what are you considering now -- some other kind of MBA? If so, you must recall that the Heriot-Watt MBA is entirely by exam. Excelsior's only graduate degree is "Master of Arts degree in Liberal Studies", which seems quite a jump for you.

So start making plans to find a graduate program where you can actually learn something substantive and have some more fun."

Are you looking to learn something at this point (and if so, what)? Or are you looking for any graduate degree with least effort?

 

Ouch, that hurts. No, I am not trying to minimize the effort, just to maximize what I already know because I want a degree that is closely related to my field. I feel that rather than take the coursework (of skills I already possess), I should test out or gain exemption.

If I wanted a graduate degree in biophysics, I would expect to take the courses.

It is my desire to make myself more attractive to potential employers and I am in a field where undergrad degrees are becoming the norm and graduate degrees the exception and so that you will better understand my motivation; the average tenure of a club manager is 2.5 years.

I chose Queen Margaret because they met all of these needs (or so I was led to believe) and I want to continue there. At this point, I am looking for options should they continue to go sideways on me.

 

Since posting this topic, QMUC has responded favorably in the last few days. It seems that I will not gain exemptions, but that they will allow me to write the assessments now. This is a great compromise and actually suggested by me a while back. So, I think I may be back on track again.
BTW, other than this confusion, I really have enjoyed the experience with QMUC. I think that because it is such a new program, coupled with some staff turnover, I have had these problems. Hopefully, they can address these issues (so far, so good) and we can move on!
