Only school that I could find that offered a degree in Music. I have been a Music Director for many years and have an extensive resume in solo singing. I changed my major at a well known university here in Virginia from Business to Music and they wanted me to ...
The best choice I could have made

I researched dozens of online colleges before deciding on Excelsior College for my BS in Liberal Studies. I was impressed with their wide array of major and focus offerings as well as the flexibility of the programs. I took seven exams and one course through EC and each was challenging ...

Great college!
I earned my Bachelors of Liberal Studies after attending numerous online and on-campus programs. Excelsior made it easy to transfer over and showed me exactly what I needed to succeed. I applied and have been accepted to numerous colleges like OU, Liberty and North Carolina for graduate work. Excelsior College degrees do work and they are well respected.

Excelsior was a great experience. I needed 60 credits and completed in less than 3 months. Really top notch service (better than the traditional colleges I attended beforehand) and the degree is well regarded, Excelsior students have gone on to graduate studies at Ivy league universities and enjoy the special pride of demonstrating the knowledge they have gained independent of traditional classroom settings. I don't know of anyone who has anything bad to say about the place.

As a military member, I couldn't be more satisfied with Excelsior’s online program. Like most military members I jumped from school to school and duty station to duty station before I finally got serious with Excelsior. Excelsior accepted most of my pre-military college credits and the credits I earned while in the military. I was able to complete several classes either online or through Excelsior exams during and in between deployments to earn my BSL. Excelsior College was highly recommended by the representatives at the base college office where I am stationed and I highly recommend it to any working adult.

I recently completed the online MA in Liberal Studies Degree. It was a terrific experience. The teachers were positive and helpful. The education was on a par with any other I have taken at other traditional institutions of higher education.
I was an older student returning to school for the sake of knowledge. Excelsior fulfilled that goal.
I would recommend Excelsior College to anyone seeking a degree.

Congrats Rick on finishing you MALS degree. I completed my bachelors from Excelsior last August. I have been seriously considering their graduate program. I was able to take the graduate research writing course while being a undergraduate student. My only concern is the cost of the graduate program. Nevertheless, I love being a graduate of Excelsior.

Has anyone completed the BSN degree?
Tim May 15, 2008 at 12:21 a.m.
I am interested in their BSN program as well. I am curious if anyone has any comments about it. Is it worth it? Will their program prepare to work proficiently as a nurse? How long did it take?
RN May 19, 2008 at 5:07 p.m.
Sonoma, I am a graduate of the BSN program and wouldn't trade my experiences or learning for anything. I liked it so much that I am now enrolled in the Masters Degree program.
YOU should go for it!!

I have recently earned my BS through Excelsior College after transferring 100 credit points obtained at universities in three different countries.
All staff at EC were very helpful and very prompt to respond to all questions. The academic staff were also top-notch and even inspiring. I expected less, but got more in terms of quality and service.
I wish all colleges were as good as Excelsior College. It was a pleasure and an honor to have graduated from such a fine college. I miss studying there :(

I'm interested in the RN associates program at Excelsior. I have finished enough clinical hours to be eligible for the program. I am curioius to how the exams are (without having to take the course) and how helpful the books are for those exams.

Great school! Fairly priced and accepted all of my CLEP, DANTES, and various college credits earned while I was on Active Duty. The Excelsior College Exams were a godsend since I really didn't have the schedule to attend class or even be able to access the net for periods of time.
After recieving my B.S. in Liberal Arts, I was accepted at every Grad program I applied for (most were traditional Tier 1 universities.

I just graduated from the ASN program at Excelsior and could not recommend it more! It was an ASWESOME experience. I did not purchase any books/materials. I used the internet and purchased some of the practice exams (specifically in areas I was weak like Micro). This is a very good program and I was able to find employment easily.

Excelsior College actually has 28,000 enrolled students, not 7,000, and it was originally established in 1971 as Regents College. The name change to Excelsior College in 2001 reflected change in status from a state institution under the Board of Regents to a private, non-for-profit college.
