Excelsior University - Fixed Rate Tuition

[bjcheung77]

I was reviewing Excelsior website and came across this, not for any other degree but Business:  Fixed rate tuition (BS in Business program only. Effective beginning with registration for Spring 2026 Trimester.) $3,200 per trimester for eligible students. This all-inclusive fixed-rate pricing includes tuition, course materials, the Academic Services Fee, and Technology Fee.

Someone needs to email them to see if you can complete the 15 credit residency requirements entirely using this fixed rate tuition.  IIRC, I don't think they allow the capstone to be completed in the same trimester.  Thus, you'll be stuck with an extra trimester to complete the business capstone course.  You may want to do the associates capstone for the 15 residency credits, and get an extra Associates on route to the Bachelors.

Undergraduate: 24 credits max a trimester. Limited to registering 12 credits in 8-week courses per term. Here's their max credit hour transfer info, interesting indeed... Link: https://www.excelsior.edu/policy/maximum...-graduate/

If you can do the cornerstone, info lit, and 6 more credits in the first 8 weeks. You can try finishing the Business capstone and 3 extra classes for another 12 credits. Thus, a max of 24 credits total, and you get the Associates and Bachelors at the same time.

At $3200 for 24 credits, it's a pretty good deal if you actually manage an Associates and Bachelors... Does anyone know if all classes come in 8 week/16 week format? I wonder if it can be hacked this way, anyone want to get in contact with Excelsior?
