BA in Psych at Excelsior

If I have a bachelors degree already, and I score at the 80th percentile on the Psych GRE, will that qualify for awarding of a BA in Psych at Excelsior?

I have read several other threads here that came close to answering this question, but not quite. Forgive me if I missed it!

Thanks everyone,
Jon

 

No, I haven't asked Excelsior yet. Would you happen to have contact info to share?

Thanks,
Jon

 

Thanks Steve. I found some old notes at my desk that had an email and phone number, so I emailed the question to their admissions office. We'll see what the answer is.

Also, the requirements for the major in Psych as listed on the Excelsior website

https://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,79535&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

only indicate the need for 30 credits (including upper and lower level). That would be satisfied with the GRE. The site listed no other requirements (besides the normal general education stuff).

I will post the response when it comes back.

Thanks again,
Jon

 

I think there will be two additional requirements:

1) Lab course (which can be met via exam)

2) Information Literacy requirement (which is an online 1-credit course).

Cheers,
Mark

I guess that answers that question. Now if I can only find free study guides (besides the onepractice book from ETS).

Thanks,
Jon
