I need help in determining which is may best course of action.

I would like to enroll in Excelsior for my BS Information Technology.

Option 1 $175 for enrollment fee, take 12 credit at EC
Option 2 $766 for enrollment fee, EC credits not req.

Is there anyone currently enrolled in Excelsior that has taken the below courses outside of EC or have tested out of them?

Core Requirements
-Computer Architecture
-Object Orientated Programming
-Database Concepts
-Operating Systems
-Overview of Computer Security
-Project Management

Thank you,
