Excelsior Transfer Help

[Risa]

Hello,

This is my first time posting on here.

I need a bachelor's degree to advance my career. It doesn't matter what degree. Due to my life circumstances, I need a plan that will allow my to complete my degree in as little time as possible. After doing some searching, I have decided that the Liberal Arts degree from Excelsior will be best for me.

I have 21 credits from community college and 43 credits from Sophia.com/CLEP.

I am very stuck with degree planning, and I am wondering if anyone knows someone (reputable) online that can do a degree plan for me using as much alternative credit as possible. Thanks!

That would be us. But you'd need to list out EXACTLY what credits you have, when you took them, and what grade you got.

Got it! 

Here's the list:

If you end up at EU, you need the following:
6 UL A&S courses, using (generally) either Study.com or Coopersmith
2 UL Free Electives
19cr of Free Electives (I'd go take Intro to IT and Developing Effective Teams from Sophia and then whatever you want).

After taking Intro to IT, go on out and grab your AAS at Pierpont.

I would apply to EU, and sign up for the Info Lit & Cornerstone courses for the next available term; and then the Capstone for the next term after that. Continue on with your courses that you need to take while you're waiting for the eval and the term to come up.

I'd also give serious thought to going to UMPI, as I think it might be faster and cheaper. Not sure if they will take your Environmental Science lab & course from different places for your lab science, or if you have to take one of Study.com's lab sciences; but other than that, you need:
American Government
14cr of Free Electives

Apply and see where they place your science courses, then decide what you want to do about that lab science if you need it.

You can probably start the first term in January, and finish in 1-2 terms (so 8 or 16 weeks). Similar timeframe to EU, but half the cost or less.

I'm going to look into UMPI too. Thank you so much for the help!

Also do the free electives have to be from certain categories? like x amount of science/art/humanities electives? or does it not matter

[rachel83az]

Free electives can be literally anything.

Free electives can be literally anything.

Some of mine were P.E. courses.

Hello,

I am hoping to transfer to Excelsior to get a Liberal Arts BA. I'm working on Degree Planning, and I think I have most of it figured out but I'm really confused about the UL arts and Sciences courses. I need 6 courses. Can anyone tell me study.com courses that fulfill this requirement? Thanks for the help.
