Excelsior BSB Business/MIS Degree Map help?

[bmclark]

Hi everyone,

First of all thank you for this great resource. I have been able to learn so much over the last several weeks from this forum. I wanted to take the next step in my education and have started by applying at Excelsior. I already had 46 credits from two CC's and 9 from USMC Recruit Training.

I have received my personal review back and I was hoping someone can help guide me towards the next step. My goal is to complete my degree as cheap as possible. I would also like to do as many CBE's as possible as well. I am aware I have to take the BUS 495 capstone through Excelsior. My goal is to test out of as many other credits as possible.

I would like to take FEMA (unless FEMA credits are expensive to transfer to Excelsior) or CLEP/Dantes tests if possible due to the low cost. Straighterline would be fine as well, but I don't want to have to purchase text books.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If the credit is completed I deleted it.
