Why Thomas Edison over Excelsior

[Florida_Brad]

For me, it was specifically how each school evaluated my tests/credits. TESC gave me UL on my credits much more frequently. Had I went through Excelsior I would have had to take alot of extra classes to fulfill my UL requirements. I'm not familiar with the LS degree, my experience has been with BSBA related classes.

Good point about the UL. Excelsior did mention I needed an additional 13 UL during their pen and ink review. Still waiting for the official evaluation, at which point I will engage about UL and other issues I think I'm going to have with their eval.

I am a pilot in the U.S. Coast Guard with 26 years of service, and only have the AA. Need the 4-year'er to make myself more competetiv with the airlines. At this point, just looking for the easiest and least expensive path for the degree. I'll make contact with Thomas Edison rep and see if she can do better. Thanks.


By the way, this is the program I recently enrolled with Excelsior.
