Excelsior Degree question about upgrading - SirWaxtor - 06-08-2008
Is it possible to be graduated as a Liberal Studies graduate, then few months later discard the degree and revise it with the Psychology credits?
I'm short of one course and that doesn't begin until the fall, but have enough for the LS.
Big Thanks,
Couldn't find any info about this

Brian is right, because they are both from the same "school" at Excelsior. You can get a 2nd Bachelors in say business or health Sciences, but not from another Liberal Arts Program.
What is the course though? Does Thomas Edison have a TECEP for that class? Is there another school out there with a class that can help?

It's the physical psychology requirement, I don't think they have it.
Is it possible to take the credits of Psychology in the first LS degree to the new bachelor degree then plug back in the new credits to the original LS?
:eek:

I don't think you can "exchange" credits after the degree has been awarded. If the psychology degree is really important to you, what's a few more months?

I didn't see that in the Catalog. I might have missed that

You should check with your advisor, because I suspect that if you take the LS, you loose any chance of getting your psych degree.

I was advised that if you have already graduated with an EC bachelors degree and want to get another in a second discipline you can only transfer 90 credits and no UL credits.

I would definitely take a TECEP and test out for a Psych degree. I ran into the same issue at the end and took 3 TECEPs. They are expensive ($450 for non-TESC students), but you can take them anytime. You can use your local library admin as a proctor for free.
