A Few Excelsior Questions

[donvago1]

As happy as I am going to be when I'm finally finished with my BSLS degree from Excelsior, my work is far from finished. I feel (This is just my opinion, I don't mean to offend anyone or start any arguments) that once I have my BS from EC I will need to bury it underneath a notable B&M Masters on my resume. For example....

Education

Springfield State University......................Anywhere, USA
Master of Stuff........................................2008

Excelsior College.....................................Albany, NY
BS, Liberal Studies..................................2007

I'm banking on the idea that an Undergrad from EC will get me into an evening MBA or MS Program in my area, 2nd tier school with a familiar name.

Wow! I am pretty much doing the same thing. In April of 2006 , I enrolled in EC's AS in Business degree program. In February of this year I knew that I was not going to finish the ASB by April and I really did not want to pay the annual enrollment fee. So in February as a joke I called the liberal arts department and to my surprise they told me that I had already met the requirements for the AS in Liberal Arts. On the 16th of March that degree was conferred and on March 19th I received this very nice diploma in the mail. So now I am waiting on my BSLS evaluation so I can see what's left for that one. I am happy to get this degree but I really don't feel good about it . I really just want to finish the BSLS asap so I can start a masters program in a field or profession that I feel will have some money making utility. My bad feeling is not about EC itself but the degree I am getting. I have no negative views of the school at all. My experience with EC has been 100% positive. BUT I do know that I after I get the BSLS I still have a lot of work left to get where I want to be.

There are some positives to getting this degree.

1. It will be a regionally accredited bachelors degree.
2. It will be a regionally accredited bachelors degree.
3. It will be a regionally accredited bachelors degree.

That can lead to a Masters from many many State U's.

Not bad for a guy who in 2006 did not have anything, but is in good shape to not only have two degree's (AS,BS) but to also be working on a Masters degree from a nearby State U in 07.

So i guess this degree really isn't all that bad. Like Brian would say "Slow and Steady - Wins the Race"
