    Hey guys, I am in the military and I am looking to finish my bachelors degree or as close to it in the next 2 years that I am still in . I was looking at St Leo and Excelsior. Heres a question for all of you who have completed degrees at Excelsior, has anyone been accepted into a good masters program using a bachelors from Excelsior? I know you can get your degree rather quickly there but I have heard some things about this college such as the accreditation is not all that great. Thanks

    Yes!!

    Know this, that a degree from EC is Regionally Accredited (RA) and that the utility found in a degree that has RA certification can provide you a gateway to many-many-many avenues of higher (master level) education programs.

    Where did you hear that? Excelsior is regionally accredited, which is the standard for accredited schools in the U.S. There are nationally accredited schools, but it is popular opinion that regionally accredited is better.

    Anyway, Excelsior has on their website somewhere a list of schools into which some of their alumni have been accepted. Some of the schools on that list are University of Florida, University of Georgia, Harvard, Duke, Penn State, University of West Virginia, etc.
