Props to Excelsior - BMWGuinness - 12-31-2007 I just received an email from Excelsior. Quote:Thank you for your interest in Excelsior College. We have reviewed your Undergraduate Application for Admission. Two hours after the date stamp on this email, you can view the results of our review online at the following link: You have to hand it to them for promptness, I wasn't expecting to hear from them for another 2 weeks.

On the bottom right corner of your post is a link to edit. use this link to edit and then click delete. Props to Excelsior - BMWGuinness - 12-31-2007 The Evaluation is done, and here's what we have. I applied to Excelsior with 45 community college credits (some duplicates), and IT Certifications. I did NOT submit my FEMA courses. For BS MIS Requirements, please see page 38 https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/My_Excelsior_College/Publications/Business_Catalog.pdf Quote:Unofficial Summary - Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (BMI) So it looks like I've fulfilled my Written English Requirements, Humanitites Requirements, Social Science/History (other than Macro/Micro), Natural Science/Mathematics. I was surprised to see that I have fulfilled 17 out of 45 credits required for the Business Component, as I really have not taken any business courses. Looks like I need 31 credits from General, 28 Credits from Business, and 1 credit from IL, meaning I have fulfilled half of my requirements with my previously attained college credit and IT certifications (even thought most of my arts I took in community college were all duplicates ((music))) I wonder how many credits I would need if I switched to Liberal Studies and added the FEMA courses.

If so, it should satisfy the requirement for Data Communications or Telecommunications or Networking as it satisfied mine with EC. Props to Excelsior - BMWGuinness - 01-02-2008 Here is the breakdown for Excelsior and CompTIA https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/School_of_Business_and_Technology/Technology_Programs/BS_IN_INFORMATION_TECHNOLOGY/CREDIT_FOR_IT_CERTIFICATION/IT_CERTIFICATION_CREDIT This shows Network+, Security+ and E-Biz+ as counting for upper level credit. I'll have to give them a call and see if they can give me more detailied info, thanks for the heads up! Props to Excelsior - BMWGuinness - 01-02-2008 Well it looks like my questions cannot be answered. According to Excelsior: I have 9 upper level credits through IT Certification with Excelsior. Quote:70-217 I cannot find out which certifications count toward the MIS major unless I speak with an advisor. I cannot speak with an advisor unless I'm enrolled.

I'm not enrolled, but when I do call everyone is really nice (I'm actually still waiting for the terrible customer service everyone warned me about lol ) but can't help me other than in generals (i.e. "Yes the Children's Lit class should count for the major but I can't confirm that so you would need to enroll and speak to an advisor"). To pin down an answer and get an advisor to tell me "yes", I have to be enrolled.
