Help with degree plan - Bachelors in Business at Excelsior

[sanantone]

I would hope that Jay Cross would see the Big Three as being equally reputable. I just think he made the mistake of thinking that Excelsior would be faster. With the direct acceptance of FEMA credits for free, COSC might even be faster even though they require a cornerstone and capstone. I'm not sure if he's aware of COSC's new BSBA program.

On the sister forum, someone shared a story of an HR person who wouldn't consider her for a job because she believed that Excelsior was similar to the notorious for-profit colleges such as University of Phoenix and ITT Tech. But, you're going to occasionally run into ignorant people wherever you go. As stated before, all of the Big Three are non-profit. They're also regionally accredited and haven't been involved in any major scandals. While COSC and TESU are not well-known, very few people will question a state college or state university.

I had never heard of the guy before, but this thread made me curious. I guess he charges $297 now, plus extra for individualized attention. Beyond that, it looks like he must either just really like Excelsior and/or have a partnership of some kind with them, as he mentions Excelsior specifically, rather than the two others in his faqs and website. :confused:

I think it's kind of funny that he calls it "do it yourself degree" then purports to do it for you (giving you a plan, not doing the classes for you).

Here's the spreadsheet I made for you. Hopefully it helps.

Is this spreadsheet valid for anyone to use or special for Gremlinbrawler???

I am unfortunately paid for a Jay Cross plan with Excelsior gameplay,but after reading these thread I going to switch to TESC.

Shanhaieddie, do you have any credits already? Post them "ENC 101 English Composition I 3 cr."

Also, let us know if any of the credits are from a community college or are quarter hours instead of semester hours.

[KayV]

Shanhaieddie, create a new thread so more people can see it and help out.

Have you already paid Excelsior?

Also, of course you may use any plan here for free. Excelsior and Charter Oak haven't changed their degree requirements, but TESU has changed a LOT recently, so make sure you use a recent plan for TESU. The one above should work.

And since we're telling everyone, go do your ALEKS math credits right now. Get them on your ACE transcript before they expire on 10/30/2016.

Welcome!

Sorry to hear that you paid Jay for the plan, but glad to know that you've found a better way!

Yes, you can use this spreadsheet, although it's customized to gremlinbrawler and all of the courses he/she has already taken. If you want a plan for yourself, then you need to do as KayV said and post all of your credits on here, and I can help you create a TESU spreadsheet of your own.

You mean 11/30/2016. They'd be hard pressed to get it done in one day!

Well spotted, Dave! I'm a little distracted today.

But if he can get his math credits done in one day, so much the better lol.
