    If by requirements you mean what exams you can take to apply toward your Associate's degree, then attached is Excelsior's self-assessment review worksheet. If you scroll down to page 4, you will see a list of all of the requirements. Then you can take electives to round out the program for a total of 61 credits. You must also take Excelsior's Information Literacy course, which is one-credit and very simple. Good luck! :)

    Looking through the business cat at Exelsior, I find an Associate of Applied Science (Administrative/Management Studies) and an Associate of Science (Business). The AAS is really designed for former military folk with alot of general applied professional credit.

    The AS (Bus) looks to be an appropriate feeder to a bachelor's level degree.

    As far as I know, Excelsior doesn't offer an AA (Associate of Arts) in Business and business would not make a good focus area for the School of Liberal Arts AA -- though it would be appropriate for the Liberal Arts ASc. The liberal arts AS is a pretty easy "test-out" program as degree programs go.

    What is your degree objective and present academic status. Maybe some of us can help you develop a reasonable degree plan if we know more about where you stand right now and where you're trying to get to.

    Hi Rhonda,

    Would you be able to post all of the courses/exams that you have taken and are planning on taking to complete Excelsior's BS in Psychology? Also, if you would be a dear and list how many credits each course/exam is worth and if the course/exam is L.D. or U.D.

    Thanks!

    - Tom
