Bachelor of Science in Conservative Studies/Arts? - CLEP101 - 10-08-2008
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as BSCS/BSCA (Bachelor of Science in Conservative Studies / Conservative Arts?
As opposed to Liberal Studies / Liberal Arts?
I know it's a stupid question:p

You know, I actually started looking that up before I got the joke.
I am curious though, what are your plans degree wise after your Computer Technology degree from Excelsior?

You never know, it might not be a joke.
As far as my plans after the Computer Tech degree, I will be getting a BS Liberal Arts from Excelsior of course. Why do you think I posted the question about the Conservative Studies degree. :p
I tried to enroll in both programs so I can finish both degrees at the same time but Excelsior wouldn't let me. However, Excelsior did do another unofficial evaluation for the BSL degree and told me that I only needed 7 SH lower and 9 SH upper in the Arts and Social Sciences to finish it up, after I'm done with the remaining two classes for the Tech degree.
I really wanted a Business Management degree, but just the thought of having to take Micro and Macro, Accounting I and II, Statistics, Intro Bus. and Bus II, etc. is too much for me right now. I might do a second degree later or go for a MBA.

Personally, I'd go with the BSL then roll into an MBA if you want to go the business route. The BSL will get you into one.
If you do decide to hop over to an MBA curriculum, you may want to check out this thread:

With your BSL and E-8 status, you'd be eligible to sit the Certified Business Manager certification. Good for MBA types.

Thanks for the info Rusty,
I'll check into it more and find out if the military will pay for the exams.

Quoted directly from https://www.apbm.org/cbm-certification/va-tuition-reimbursement/:
The Association of Professionals in Business Management (ABPM) has been approved by the Veteran’s Administration to allow for eligible veterans to receive tuition reimbursement assistance. Veterans may use the G.I. Bill benefits to pay the cost of approved licensing and certification tests. Please note the Veteran’s Administration is authorized to provide reimbursement for exams only, not for other costs of the licensing or certification process, such as books or review classes.
There are several eligibility requirements that must be met in order to receive benefits. The ABPM will provide enrollment information to the VA, but it is the candidate’s responsibility to complete the VA benefits application package and submit it to the appropriate VA regional office. For more detailed information on the G.I. benefits, eligibility requirements and requests for reimbursement, please visit - (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).
