A.A.S Block Transfer

From there, the last 30 can be earned for less than $10k and again, in under 12 months.  This allows for more than just the big 3, there are others in that category too.
So, if you're forcing a round peg into a square hole, that only works if it saves you time or money.   If you can beat 2 years and beat $10k for an "all in" price, then go for it.  But if you end up paying $60k so you can use your NA AA as a block, and STILL take 2 years to finish, what kind of innovative strategy is that?  Doesn't save time and costs a heck of a lot more money.

As I like to point out, you should not look BACKWARDS, at what a school gives you for your credits, but FORWARD at what it's going to take to complete your degree (both time and money).  If school A gives you 60cr but it's going to take 2 years and $11,000 to complete your degree; and school B gives you 20cr and it's going to take you 18 months and $7,000 to complete your degree; then you're better off choosing school B.

Sort of.

They have bachelor completion programs that require an associate's degree from a regionally accredited college for admission.

Also, you're only allowed to pursue one of 7 majors:
Allied Health Leadership
RN to BSN
Health Information Management
Applied Studies Education
Applied Studies Management
Public Service
Hospitality

AND your associate degree has to match the major you're doing (eg. hospitality requires a hospitality-related associate degree)

AND you still have to hit / include specific courses (eg. hospitality requires courses in accounting, management, marketing, etc. that if not part of your associate's degree will STILL be required per the bachelor's degree)

AND finally, the last 60 credits are at $350/credit - making this cost no less than $21,000 and completion of no less than a year and a half.

I question this strategy since you could do better staying at Excelsior for your bachelor's. Faster and cheaper with full acceptance of the credits you already earned with them.

(P.S. your Associate may not meet their admissions requirements for the BS Applied Management degree- they specifically ask for an "Applied Field such as manufacturing, automotive, hospitality management, fire technology, information technology, health care")
