The only reason I even looked into Excelsior at the time was because of exactly what you said below, though in my case it was the fact that they took IT Certifications for College Credit. What amazes me is that there are also some graduate programs that will take certifications for college credit. My one MCSE could count for not only many undergrad credits but as much as half of a graduate degree (25% of a degree at http://www.aspen.edu 50% of a degree at http://www.itmasters.com.au)
Hrm thats interesting, I never thought about that. I have my MCSD and about 10 other IT certifications. I wonder how much credit I could get for the MCSD. Thanks for the heads up, though!
