Thank you NAP for your reply.
Yes, it is a required course for my major and actually, I took Statistics and also took college algebra; there was a mistake in the quantitative requirement. I sent them an email and today they corrected it. So that requirement has been satisfied.
I knew about the Info Lit, but I did not know about the capstone course requirement prior to applying to Excelsior. I got an email from an admission advisor today, in which she explained to me what the capstone course is.
Here is her email regarding the capstone course:
âOne of those courses that you will have to take is the Capstone course. The Capstone course is considered to be the culminating experience of your bachelorâs degree. A student is expected to integrate knowledge gained through their college curriculum experience during this 15-week long online course.â
Iâm taking some courses at this time, which will satisfy some of the requirements. The only course that I need urgently is the research methods in psychology. I know there is an ECE exam for that course. Unfortunately, I cannot take that exam because there is no testing center near. The nearest one is more than 300 miles. Maybe I will take that course through an independent study.
I have a question regarding enrollment.
If I enroll this year and finish my degree next year, do I have to make another enrollment payment for next year?
Below is the description of the capstone course from the website of excelsior:
