Has any one done an Excelsiors Masters?
Was it an a meaningful experience? They
Offer a choice of a thesis or capstone project.
I often wonder what the project is. Any ideas?

Excelsior (and TESC, for that matter) is fine for an undergrad degree but if you're going to pursue a graduate degree I'd personally go with a school that offered more name recognition for the money. For example, their MBA runs, just in tuition, $455 a ch, where for around $352 a ch you could attend the U of North Dakota, which is a tier-1 national university, for an AACSB-accredited MBA. I'm sure there are many similar deals out there, including at in-state schools that would be more locally respected and offer a better ROI.
I know my project was in essence a group thesis that turned out to be around 100 pages. I won't rehash my experience but it wasn't gravy.

Can't answer the initial question but can add that Excelsior's MSN, for nursing, is highly regarded in that profession. Possibly because it was among the first in the country to offer distance learning options.
