Is my Excelsior admissions counselor wrong, or is Excelsior no longer "Big 3"?

You asked:  "Thanks. I'm still unclear on which ones must be taken at Excelsior vs another school."

She wrote:  "No problem. What you do mean by taken at another school? Are you referring to transferring in credits? Since the degree is through Excelsior College, the degree programs credits are going to be taken with us. If you are looking to earn any credits outside of Excelsior College then that’s a conversation you’ll have with an advisor once you are an admitted/enrolled student."

You could have asked it differently, but if you reread your question, it could be interpreted to ask if you HAVE TO take classes at another school.  You'll remember that many of the big 3 offer degrees that can't be fully completed in-house, requiring a student to bring in credit.  Her answer, in that context, makes perfect sense.  She's explaining that you complete the degree through EC *UNLESS* you want to earn credit outside of EC/transfer, and in which case your advisor is the go-to. And she'd be right.

This is very helpful. Intellectually, I know that any miscommunication is likely to be at least half my fault. But it's not always easy to see the part I'm playing in it because I know what I meant to say. Maybe I need to major in communications or psychology ... Wink

ha ha - I'm still totally ok with your advisor not being careful to craft her answer. Wink
