Excelsior. Good College? Anyone Liked/Hated It?

[Exfactor]

I looked at Liberty University when I first started looking. I sent for info to be sent to me, and they responded back. I read what they had to offer, but I didn't want to..better put...I had no desire and refused to take "requirements" on religious biblie studies. I'm not religious in any way. They require:

"APOL 104 Contemporary Worldviews 3"
"BIBL 104 Survey of Biblical Literature 3"
"THEO 104 Introduction to Christian Thought"

Thats in their business major. If you get more into liberal studies or other majors, the Bible class requirements get longer. For $350.00 a unit x 9 units. $3,150.00 That's a waste of money for me on courses I had no desire (and has no education baring on me) to learn.

Liberaty is still a good online college, but you have to be in a certain type of demograph for it. Excelsior's name...yes...at first few sights I thought it was (seriously) Excalibur. I still see the name of Excelsior and it just looks like "Excalibur" a bit to the point I picture Merlin and the round tables of camelot. But back to topic. I ran their tuition calculator and they seem more expensive than the other two. Although they seem to allow more transfer credit.

I've actually taken all those courses at Liberty. They have a way of bringing in biblical text in all sort of academic course work. For example, you could have a discussion on history or psychology and the bible would be use to justify a certain behavior or theory. If you don't know much about the bible you will after taking a course with them. I noticed many students would reference the bible more than a peer reviewed source. However, I actually enjoyed my experience there. They have a huge student population online so it can take forever to get things done. But it's a good school. I was also hesitant to enroll at Excelsior because of its name; however, I noticed in a Google search their were many Excelsior grads out there doing amazing things, and I just wanted to complete my degree, and go on to graduate school, which Excelsior provided for me.
