Hi, Greggy.
Excelsior will consider all of these classes as upper-level business since they are MGMT 300 and 400 series. There is no acceptance policy. I just paid $297 for the P/OM course; I told them that I had met the prerequisites; they gave me a syllabus; and away I went. I just had to wait for my book to arrive from the internet. If you get the book "used", make sure the CD is with it. You will need to install Excel OM, and POM for Windows, unless you are a math whiz.
You don't need transcripts. You don't need to pay an application fee, registration fee, enrollment fee, non-matriculated student fee or anything like that. It really is $297 with no strings attached.
I will be starting Business Policy in a week or two. I have a CLEP to get out of the way.
Keep me posted, I'll be happy to tell you about my experience.
Shoot for one AE each workday and two days per exam, you'll be done in a month or less.
