    Hi jra

    Thanks for your advice. I have just sent an email to excelsior about the final title (It needs to be BSc or BA in psychology ) and the price/credit as it seems a little confusing.. But I think they might be a good option:) I am currently having my transcripts evaluated by ECE. Do you think it's a benefit to have it evaluated by WESC also?

    And maybe a stupid question but what is POAG?

    AJA, you can get both a BA or a BS in Psychology. In your specific situation given that you have probably a lot of Business credit, a BS would be the way to go because it allows you to allocate more credit that is not in the arts and sciences (which is the case with business)

    Yes, I recommend you do both evaluations. From my personal experience with international students, the results could be shocking. They pretty much have the monopoly of credential evaluation and they literally do whatever they please, in most cases the evaluators don't have first hand knowledge of the education system and well, that leads to shockin and amazingly different results, unfortunately in the majority of cases being unfavorable to the student and there is no appeal, no refund and you will probably find very difficult to talk to someone at those companies. I strongly recommend doing both

    The price x credit at Excelsior if you join POAG would be $275 x credit. However you can choose to transfer 117 credits out of 120 to get your bachelors degree there.
    POAG is the peace officers association of Georgia, where you can join as an associate member with the sole purpose of obtaining a discount at Excelsior. If you join POAG your enrollment fee would be $130 and no graduation fee is you take 12 credits with Excelsior

    They will accept 30 credits from a DETC Degree-granintg institution, however you will probably have to pay $80 for them to evaluate those classes, unless they have evaluated them first.
