    Hello,

    In Singapore there are several degree completion degree courses by RA US universities like Benedictine International Uni and Ottawa Uni conducted through local learning centres. They apparently tailored their programs to suit diploma holders from Singapore's Polytechnics and students only need to complete approx. 44-48 credit units to complete their bachelor degree but they are charging between USD8k-USD9k.

    I wonder is Excelsior a cheaper alternative? However Excelsior cannot evaluate non-US qualifiactions and ECE will do it only for USD150 and after that Excelsior offer to do a pre-enrollment credit review for USD165 ( the fees starts piling up). Beside mu diploma in Business Studies, I had several years of working experience, pass level 2 of ACCA.

    So excelsior grads out there I need some guidance.

    Thanks

    Patrick

    and some milltary experience. So any excelsior grads there

    Hi Patrick,

    Are you only interseted in U.S. degrees? How about Australian ones? There are a number of
    accredited Bachelor degree courses that accept Business Diploma holders onto the final year. The cost is about S$9k.

    You mention your experience. If you are interested in a portfolio assessment, there is a good chapter on this in Bear's 14th edition. From what Steve Levicoff writes, you might find that Thomas Edison State College offers more opportunity for portfolio assessment.
