Excelsior College Online Degrees, Rankings, and Reviews

If you have a bunch of credits from multiple schools, Excelsior is your solution to turning them into a degree. Excelsior is one of the few schools with a minimal (1 course) residency requirement - what that means is that you transfer in courses from... Read More a bunch of places, fill in some gaps (courses, CLEP tests, whatever) and get your degree. The Bachelors of Science in Liberal Arts that I earned there was the key to the degrees I needed to earn for my work. I now have an MBA, an MA and a PhD.

I have been enrolled for 4 1/2 years and it was a great experience for me. It allowed go to remember how to PUSH THROUGH. I just completed CPNE virtually and successfully passed. I had a lot of family struggles and hardship during those 4 1/2 years which... Read More allowed me to pick up where I left off after dealing with family deaths (sister, motherNlaw, brother’s and Father). I paid my annual fee and tested whenever I could which was convenient. The advisors were supportive. I failed the CPNE in person when COVID 19 first hit Néw York in March of 2020, but I wasn’t as prepared as I thought I was with my careplans, the patients were SUPER EASY. I am done now and I really appreciate all the staff at Excelsior College. Read your study guide, watch the Excelsior videos, document just as they say do and YOU CAN DO THIS.

Great school! I was able to transfer in all of my military training and Associates in Aviation Technology credits towards my BS degree. I then proceeded to Clep, Dantes and ECE my way through the rest of the degree and finish within 6 months. Why people... Read More sit these courses is beyond me when there is a much faster/less expensive way of doing so...did I mention I did not buy one book for my BS degree? EC did not limit the number of these tests I took so I took ALL of them. This allowed me to press on with my MBA and I finished that within a year, I'm now getting ready to enter into a PhD program and will fly through as fast as possible. IMO, these degrees are not really good for anything but society dictates that one must have one to earn more money or to get that job. Just a bunch of worthless information you have to memorize, regurgitate and press onto the next course. EC helped me do that with no reins to hold me back.
