Governors State University BOG Program (New Website)

I spoke with a representative yesterday about GSU’s BOG Program. I asked him to give me an overview of the program and how it works, This is what he told me:

• Completion of this program will award you a B.A. with no concentration (you can choose to obtain a minor) from GSU.
• 80 Lower Level Credits, 40 Upper Level.
• 16 Upper Level credits can be transferred in; the remaining 24 must be taken at GSU.
• Clep, Dantes, and ECE exams will be accepted.
• If you live more than 50 miles away from GSU (located on the south side of Chicago 20 miles or so) they will allow for exams to be proctored.
• His quote “This program is designed to award a BA to people who have a bunch of college credits but no degree”.
• No application fee
• About $120 per credit

Sounds like a good deal to me! Any Alumni or current students have any comments? This might be a decent alternative to the big 3? Can one take ECE exams with out being enrolled at Excelsior?

 

I saw that you posted your "Mill Shill" thing on another thread. Please do not interupt this forum. Thank you.

 

Been there; done that.

It used to be just 15 credits from them or other BOG colleges. I completed the BA for about $1500, including the cost of a portfolio. Very cost effective.

I was very satisfied with them.
Graduate programs accepted the BA degree.

I give them a high recommendation.
Good luck.

 

It looks like they now require 24 semester hours from Governor's State.

Good program. Too bad they don't offer majors.
