A Few Excelsior Questions

[rjc311]

Thanks for the input. So, say you get a BA in LS from Excelsior and you transfer to a B&M school for a Master's...will they accept the whole degree or pick it apart and say something, for instance, about all the credit by examination and subsequently make you retake a bunch of courses? That is my main fear. I have been looking at Excelsior's MA in LS program and there are 5 tracks:

Track 1: Issues in Today's Society
Track 2: Global Strategies
Track 3: Educational Leadership
Track 4: Natural Science and Society
Track 5: Self-Design

I like the sound of the program but like you said bceagles, I wonder if it would be better to get the MA from a more traditional school. I recently found out that the University of Central Florida offers a completely online BA in LS and since all of my classroom credits are from FL state schools I wouldn't lose anything if I transferred. But, they don't take any upper level credit by exam so that has been the one thing holding me back. At this point I think I will continue with my Excelsior BA track and worry about the MA later...probably MUCH later.

Thanks again. It is nice to know there is a place to come for help with these types of questions!
