If you're close to graduating and going to Excelsior, you might want to consider taking "MLS 500: Graduate Research and Writing" It's a graduate level course and would count as one of your upper division Arts & Sciences. I'm seriously considering this for one of my upper division courses I have left. I'm also getting with a few other graduate schools to see what open enrollment graduate courses they have, and if I can get Excelsior College to accept those. That's another option you can try.

That's great news, THANKS!!!!! Boy, I feel like a huge burden was just lifted off my shoulders  . I've gotta get this fear of grad school under control, and taking this class will be a good step in that direction.

CCU Review
If I can chime in here... I am currently enrolled at CCU and plan to be done with my MBA HRM degree by December. Much like Shoto, It will have taken me about 6 months to complete. While it is challenging, it is not overwhelming. The college staff is super friendly and they heap copious amounts of praise on you for doing well on tests, finals, and the overall course. This praise comes in the form of letters and certificates (these certificates look better than the Excelsior Diplomas by the way
 ). It seems I am constantly getting mail from them and have a nice collection now. All of my coursework/testing is done electronically which means no waiting for snail mail. I purchased 9 out of 13 books at Amazon, used, for $140.00 (will be selling them soon... ) and rented the rest from CCU's library for $25.00 each for three months. The classes are $630 a shot but there will be none of the BS (NOT Bachelor of Science...the other one) Excelsior graduation fees...This will leave extra money to get a nice frame for my diploma. Overall I think they do a great job. This is definitely not a degree giveaway; it's a program developed for mid-career minded people. Hope this helps someone out there....Lee

Then let me robustly recommend CCU's MBA program! As for keeping up, you set your own pace; I set my pace at Warp Factor 7 (WF7) and completed my MS degree in 6-months. Granted I worked at a fevered pace and for a few hours each day but it can be done. In fact I would say that if you worked at a moderate and comfortable pace (WF1) you could complete a graduate degree within one-academic year (9 months). Take it from two EC grads - Basket Weaver and myself, CCU is the way to go! In the end you will have your degree complete and your future right in front of you - Engage!

OK, well for me, that just sealed the deal. I am definitely going to CCU for my Masters after I get my BS (Bachelor of Science kind
 ) Thanks for all the feedback on this subject!!!!

I think I can...
My biggest concern was due to all this testing out, I thought well maybe 'testing out' wasn't properly preparing me for grad level work. But, it was me letting the fear get the best of me, breaking me, filling my head with doubt.
Brian & Lee, what can I say, you guys are great!! First of all, you've managed to instill just about enough confidence in me to actually believe that I (ME!!!) can succeed as a grad student. Secondly, if I can complete grad school in 6 months, well that would just be icing on the cake, as well as ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I'm still a little dazed and dazzled by all of this ---any of this even being possible for me, so thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm checking out CCU for sure. It's good to hear that they are very supportive, and offer so much encouragement.

[quote=Old Rusty Pipe]For everyone, consider yourselves empowered:
Dantes Online Catalog >> ...and three hours later here I am! Wow, I wish I had found that link months ago. You can go up a level and view all the programs (cert - associate- bachelor-master- phd) which was great. I did notice a few missing that I had found on my own, but boy that's a great place to start!!

Looking at where you are now, close to attaining your Bachelors degree, I would conservatively say that you could actually have your Masters completed around this same time next year; not bad at all!!

Hey, I was checking out the US News & World Report site and I came across these great comparison charts for online graduate programs:
