Upper Level Credits - Excelsior

[anar579]

Hi Ana,

It is interesting to see "DANTES Intro to Business" included in your 12 upper level credits. Was this approved by your advisor? The reason I ask, is that Intro to Business is ACE approved only as a lower level credit.

Please let us know if this is accurate.

Thanks,

In fact, I did not have this course as part of my Advanced Level credits; I had another exam and the advisor suggested this one. I've wondered about the Dantes Intro. to Business being L division too. Now I may have misread the advisor's message to me; here is an excerpt from the e-mail from the advisor after I submitted my original course plan

The business section looks fine they will all apply as you have stated with the exception of Principles of Supervision. This is not an advanced level exam. However you have the DANTES Management Information System listed under Free electives, this is an advanced level Business. The Excelsior College exams Organizational Behavior and Ethics: Theory& Practice are also advanced level. Therefore you may want to take the Principles of Supervision and the DANTES Introduction to Business instead of two of the exams you have listed under the advanced level.[/INDENT]

In any case I'm resubmitting my plan for approval to make super duper sure! I'll post it once I receive it.

For everyone's benefit, I don't think it's wise to get a full degree plan from a forum or website. There's always the risk of taking an exam or course that may not apply as you originally intended, upper division or lower division, business degree or otherwise. The technicalities are best left to the advisors. Like snazzlefrag stated, one of the classes I thought was upper may be lower division. But, I don't have to worry either way because it's been approved. Furthermore, my degree is valid for me because I registered at Excelsior in Jan. 2006, but someone reading this forum in Sept. 2006 may be faced with different requirements and might be going down the wrong path following my degree plan.
