how much discrimination towards Excelsior's degrees?

In general, can Excelsior's graduates enter second tier universities to pursuit a master's degree?

I would like to hear your experience (any discrimination?) if you are Excelsior's graduate or other graduate of other accessment colleges.

Thank you for your time!

 

Yes, you can. Excelsior graduates, over 95,000 of them, have gone on to graduate study at Tier 1 schools on down. The degree opens the door just as any other RA degree would. Other graduate school admissions factors such as field of study, GPA, etc. must be weighed into the process.

Due to lax study practices my Bachelors degree was less than spectular. I attended a jr college and took courses which I transferred to Excelsior along with my bachelor's degree. By doing this I increased my GPA and received a bachelor's in a different area. I then applied to the distance learning program at Liberty University and was accepted based upon the GPA from Excelsior. By completing the Masters at Liberty with a good grade point average I was accepted in the PhD program at Capella. So yes, Excelsior is accepted. Incidentally, all my DL experience began with a little book I purchased from John Bear in 1986 or 1987. THANKS! John.

 

Thanks for sharing your journey Howard. How is your Capella experience coming.

Finished Capella in a little over 2 years - with 2 years being the minimum. It is a very challenging program. My only difficulty is that the psych program was not available when I started and I was too far along to go into it without losing work. The options available for completing work are numerous, all with a degree of challenge, and the mentors I had were fantastic. The 2 week summer session and the focus seminars are very interesting. I would recommend the school without reservation. Thanks for asking.
