I was signed up for their BS degree in Env Studies but then I realized the book deal is a catch. From what I've heard, they don't have a lot of proctored finals, that's a good thing. But they didn't take as many of my credits for that program as I had hoped. One last item, when I talked to Excelsior about a yr and a half ago, they said they had to look closely at some of AMU/APUS courses and how they could accept UL credit (AMU/APUS were regionally by then). At least that is what the Lib Studies side said. For my money, there are better alternatives but that's just my 2 cents.
I did a quick search and was unable to find any info on what Excelsior considers upper credits from American Military University. I am assuming anything 300-400. My story...I need about 26 hours, mostly upper for a BA Gen Studies from Excel, AMU does not offer such a degree. I want to take the AMU courses for the mere fact that books are included and revert back to Excel once I have reached my goal.
Pls help!
