This does not include the 15 credits that are not recommended for ACE approval. Realistically, if I have an official copy sent to Excelsior, how many could posibly be utilized towards one of there degrees?
Also, what is everyone else's military credit results. List the amount that you earned from military training and schools, and how many a college actually articulated towards a degree. Thank you.

GO BLUE: You have to contact a counselor from Excelsior. I am currently taking classes with them and switched degree plans to a liberal arts degree to maximize the credits. If you are trying to get a more "specific" degree the credits go from being a LOT to being a LITTLE. I am not sure where you are at education wise, but, if I were you and starting out fresh in college, go the liberal route, have the counselor hook you up with max creds, then switch degree plans after meeting the minimal credit expectation with the school, I think it is 12/year. Also, start small, get on thier A.A. lib arts, having two degrees is better than one, my opinion.
I received 26 credits towards my degree from them, FYI. I had 128 TOTAL on my SMART, to give you an idea.
Good luck devil.
