Excelsior college degree? - Nafia - 08-19-2016
Good day to all. I am an international student. I need a fast degree to get a job. I'm doing a software developing course where i think i am doing so much hard work as a software engineering college student would do. But to get a job i need a degree. I wanted to enroll in TESU but i don't have Toefl score and i'm under age too. so, it will delay my admission a lot. When i write to EC about BSBA in MIS they said it's not possible to test out becz i have to do the MIS concentration from EC's course, which is too costly. I want to be software engineer and i need a degree as soon as possible. Here in my country we don't have DSST, CLEP or Uexcel exam center. Is it possible to finish a degree by doing ACE accredited credits trough EC . I would like to get a degree in BSBA in MIS or math. Even any degree would ok right now. Currently i finish 10 straighterline courses. Please help me if you can......

Welcome to the forum. Have you taken some time to look at the wiki? Degree Forum Wiki - Wikia

Are you taking more courses from Straighterline? You should continue taking courses from several providers if you can and have the money for.
You might want to check out the Beginners Guide thread and also the Basic Approach - Online Education Guide on the wikia as mentioned earlier.
My suggestion is to complete the BSBA general education and elective requirements with ALEKS, Penn Foster, Study.com/Straighterline/Saylor/Shmoop and the free courses.
You can get the majority of the credits completed and transfer to the Big 3 and/or WGU, decide on the program first and get those requisites done as well.
By the time you are done, you should be of "age" to apply and you also need to make sure your TOEFL or IELTS, etc (English Language assessment test) is done.
If you don't get that done, Excelsior/Charter Oak and TESU or even WGU won't accept your registration until it's completed... you have options for exams.
BTW, which country are you from? And welcome to the board...
