Excelsior or TESC
|
You can't go wrong with any of them. Like NIKE said, "JUST DO IT!" Having recently graduated myself, the degree has definitely opened a lot of job opportunities for me, even in this poor economy. I actually turned down 4 jobs, never in my wildest dreams. The "Big 3" are not fool's gold, they serve their purpose. BTW my colleague is an Ivy League grad...I get a kick out of that because we do the same job.

Do I have to enroll with Excelsior first or I can take my 12 credits of ECE before I enroll with them? The only reason I asking this because of a response I received from them. I know I have to complete 4 with them since they accept only thier WER and INL. banghead Now what am I gonna do the Freshman Comp? LL electives? I need 9 credits of easy upper level credits.

TESC had the degree program I wanted, and I thought they were a better fit for me because I transferred 84 credits from CLEP/DSST/Comm. college and took the 36 credit comprehensive tuition plan. Their customer service is in the tank, but if you are a persistant person(of course you are, you're going to an online college), you can make it through no problem.
TESC sounds better that "Excelsior college", for some reason...I don't think it matters, because no matter what you go with, no one knows either one and you have to explain it, but personal preference does matter.

I dunno... I mean, tme, Thomas Edison (the person the college is named after, not the college itself) will always be the liar and thief who tried to discredit Nikolai Tesla and made a habit of poaching inventions. Hehe.. Like you said, personal preference.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

True enough. Let's petition to change it to NTSC... Tesla did get the bum rap, and TE should have given him the salary he promised...Tesla was a true genius...but I'm talking about the name itself vs. Excelsior college. George Washington State College or Thomas Jefferson State College would work for me too.

You do not have to be enrolled to take ECE (Excelsior College Exams) or Excelsior courses. The courses are a higher price for non-enrolled students. Are you really talking about taking 12 credits through EC courses to get an enrollment discount? There are several ways to meet the WER - UExcel, ECE, Straighterline, AP test, transfer course. Info Lit can be met through Penn Foster or another transfer course. I'm sure we can help you find good options for the rest of your credits too, with some more details of your current credits and degree goals. Forgot to mention: A capstone course, if required for your degree, does have to be taken through EC.

Alissa this is a great post (I think I've read it three times!!) I think I understand most of it and right now we're leaning towards EC for two of our sons. My one question (as of this moment, haha!) is about the FEMA credits, how and what is involved in having them "transcribed through another school" and what kind of cost are we talking? Again, this forum is amazing, thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences!!
