Excelsior College
Undergraduate School of Business & Technology

REVIEW THIS SCHOOL

Name: Jason Ansley

For the student whom is an undergraduate, desires to give themselves a focal edge, and prefers options for their studies within a field, the Excelsior College business degrees are a good choice. While many schools offer dual BA/MBA programs, few exist that allow specializations at an early stage within the learners curriculum progression. With specializations that cover the major organizational structure of any business, this program is a solid choice!

Excelsior was an excellent choice for me to complete a B.S. from a quality school. They allowed maximum transfer credits into the program and offered a wide array of options to complete my degree requirement. Plus my advisors provided great support throughout the program. My B.S. from Excelsior motivated me to also complete a graduate degree and embark on a new career path. I highly recommend Excelsior to students looking for high quality, great reputation, reasonable price and a flexible distance learning format.

I first heard about Excelsior College back in the late 80's when it was Regents College through a patient that came into our office. It happened to be the Commissioner of Education in NY!! He was very generous with his time and actually gave me catalogs from his brief case. At that time I was 15 credits short of my BA. I just had no more energy to finish school and stopped going. As I researched distance education, I did come across Thomas Edison State College. I chose Excelsior College because I was able to take courses to fulfill my requirements from schools all over the country. This allowed me to keep my costs low. I think that Thomas Edison State College offered its own classes, but since I was out-of-state, I think the tuition was higher for me. Also, Excelsior College does a wonderful job evaluating transfer credits. They also offer their own classes and you can still take classes from other schools. (YES, there is a huge gap of time from the late 80's to 2001 when I enrolled in Excelsior COllege, but I always kept this info on the back burner until I was ready. And in 2001 I was older, disciplined and ready to study. I have been taking online classes ever since and it is my preferred way to learn!!!) Good Luck.

To be honest, I'd never heard of this school until I read about them in GetEducated's article on credit for career experience. I have 20 years in the management of info systems and several professional certifications in network management and operating systems as well as project management. I am impressed that they will "recognize" most of these professional certifications for credit on my BSBA. I have not yet enrolled but am considering it. Wish some enrolled students would comment. They were very slow getting me a catalog but they seem up and up and were good in my phone call about my professional certifications transferring in. A BIG plus for me.
