I've been searching the net all day trying to find something bad about Excelsior college when I came upon this forum. Is there any one here that can give me some advice about joining excelsior college? I have yet to find anything that would tell me not to join. I'm in the Air force and just don't have the time to go to classes. I believe this is a great way to go, but I hear different opinions about online colleges. Most of them are about for-profit colleges (e.g Phenix). One of the things I like about Excelsior is that it's a private non-prifit college. I'm interested a bachelor's degree in business. I would appriciate any adivice. Thanks,
Excelsior college is regionally accredited, and their degrees are accepted by many of the 'name brand' schools; like Harvard. I therefore dont see a problem with this college. My advice would be to go to their web site and get a catalog. From that you will get a good idea of what is needed for your degree. Armed with this info, you can then start doing exams toward your degree. You can do a substantial number before registering, thus saving quite a lot of money. Also, there are quite a lot of material, which is either free or at a substantially reduce price for memvers of the millitary. Man, go for it.
I don't know what kind of financial aid Air Force personnel receive, but nonmilitary personnel don't get much help. You get much more help from http://www.tesc.edu or from http://www.cosc.edu I am currently enrolled in Excelsior but was laid off work awhile ago and I could sure use some financial aid right now
