Excelsior BS in Business Degree Plan

[brothert69]

Banta, or anyone who'd like to chime in,

How much would this degree plan differ from EC's BS in business with a concentration in risk management and insurance?

Below is a copy of an email I received from EC. Please note that it is not up to date as EC changed its written english and general ed requirements. It will however let you see how various insurance related exams will work in the risk management or the general business degree. I don't know if you can completely test out of the risk management degree because of the EC Business Policy capstone class but you should be able to test out of the insurance related classes with CPCU and ARM. Also so you are aware CPCU gives discounts on its exams to students so enroll somewhere that you are taking a college class even if it's your local CC because the exams will be half the price.
