How much Military Credit will Excelsior give you? - kcboiee - 10-04-2010
Hi everyone! New to the forums and just had some questions that i hope some of you guys can answer. I recently applied to Excelsior College's BS in Liberal Studies program and i was just wondering how much of my military credit would transfer in towards my degree program or which degree program would allow the maximum transferrable credits towards completion. The Liberal Studies program seemed easy enough to just take a bunch of classes and tests to get that degree as long as i meet the requirements.
My military background: i am an HM2 in the Navy, been through HM school, Field medical school, and Hemodialysis school. Classes and tests ive take so far are listed in my Signature. i am also enrolled at national university, where they had given me 54 quarter units towards my degree... but you need 180 QU to graduate
. i only have another 1.5years before i finish but i would like to get my degree sooner even if its a kinda useless degree (as long as its regionally accredited), i just need it to start my MS in Entry level nursing so i can be a Nurse.*i understand that every person's situation with transferrable credits is different but i just wanted to get an idea of how much excelsior gave you or your friends. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you folks may have.
Thanks

I know for me, looking at my status report, Excelsior gave me 50 SH of military credit. Not just as electives, many of the credit was business courses that were part of the Focus/depth, because of my Recruiting MOS. On top of the 50 SH, they also gave me 15 SH for the DLPT in Spanish. So I guess it was a total of 65 SH military credit. Everything else to complete the degree was CLEPs/DSSTs, and 5 courses.
