My original plan was to get a B.A. from Excelsior in Psych/Soc, choosing them because I could save a ton of money through GRE credit. Thankfully, I eventually decided against that and am now following the plan I have in my signature. If I didn't change my mind, I would be freaking out right now. BTW- there would be a strong possibility that those enrolled before the policy change would be allowed to finish their original degree plan. Excelsior has made changes like this in the past and did not leave their current students in the cold.
Anyway, I know it would be a missed opportunity for many, but I see this as a good thing. No, the GRE isn't easy, but is this REALLY how a person should get a degree? Studying for 3-4 months and taking a single multiple choice test? That's why I changed my mind about it to begin.
I would, however, think that it would still be possible to get at least some credits from GRE through the portfolio process. Although, it would be more expensive AND the credit-granting would no longer be according to an established scale.
