Does anyone here know how the depths at Excelsior College actually plan out? I'm trying to decide between EC (less requirements based on my transfer credits) and COSC (who wants more UL credits from me); however, i've talked to many advisors at EC and they all seem to give a different answer. I've applied as a psychology major; however, some advisors state if you choose a major you only need to complete the requirements in depth 1, and ignore the requirements in depth 2; however, others say you have to complete the requirements in both depth 1 and depth 2. Are their any psychology majors or EC graduates whom have experience how this manifest?

Looking over my pre-conferral transcript, it looks like they had me fill both depths, but I graduated about 3 years ago.

According to the Liberal Arts catalog, the college that contains the psychology major, you will have to complete one depth and the other is covered by your major.
Every bachelor’s degree student is required to dem-
onstrate expertise by certifying depth of knowledge
in at least two different disciplines or subject areas.
In each of these areas you must complete at least
12 credits, including a minimum of 3 credits at the
upper level.

That's what I just noticed while looking at everything.

I am graduating next month. I had to do two depths (easy, peasy) because I don't have a major.
EC "Depths" - Exfactor - 11-16-2013
So those without majors have to complete 2 depth areas?
EC "Depths" - UptonSinclair - 11-16-2013
Yes. Those will majors complete one of the two depth areas by the credits in their major.

Thank you so much for your reply. I was under the impression that I had to complete "depth 1" and "depth 2," being that I already have depth 1 completed.
