Any 68W or 27D going to Excelsior?
#1
I was both a 68W and a 27D. I've just enrolled in Excelsior and I am still waiting for my evaluation. I am persuing a Liberal Arts degree (w/ no concentration). How were your credits distributed? How many credits did you recieve? I'm just trying to get a jump start and looking for CLEP/DSST's to get out the way. Thanks!

Somewhere on the ACE website they have a list of all of the military career fields and what credits are recommended based on your skill level. All of my job training in the Air Force counted as Human Resources.
Intro to Computing - 67; Ethics in America - 53; Analyzing & Interpreting Lit - 53; Principles of Management - 58; Lifespan Dev Psyc - 51; Human Resource Management - 46; Info Sys & comp Applications - 61; Principles of Supervision - 47; Human Cultural Geography - 51; Public Speaking - 55; College Mathmatics - 55; College Comp w/essay - 53; Technical Writing - 59;

Well, I'm not a 68W, but I am military and going to excelsior and I can say that my evaluation was *very* generous toward my military credits. They gave me all 21 credits for my MOS (though those were actually granted by Cochise College, not ACE evaluated), and my SSD1 alone was listed as worth 5 credits toward my program, with another four credits going toward excess credit. All of my basic training credits were considered excess credit. But I'm going for a Bachelor of Arts program with a major, and I had a fairly significant chunk of other transfer credit to consider so I may have exceeded the maximum allowable number of Applied Technical credits. I think they would have applied more of my military credits to my program if I was pursuing a general Liberal Arts degree.

For reference, SSD1 is evaluated as 3 credits by ACE. Excelsior transcribed it as follows in my initial eval:

- POL*131A Introduction to World Politics P 1.00
