What graduate schools have Excelsior graduates gotten into?

Yanji Wrote:I'm not an expert in the EE field, but as far as I know, EE Tech and EE proper are very different degrees. I'm not sure if you could get into a MSc in EE with an EE Tech degree, but I could also be very wrong. If you want a BSc/BEng in EE, Stony Brook University recently started offering an online BSEE programme, but I don't think it's ABET accredited yet, which could be an issue for Masters admissions.

Thank you for the info, I see Stony brook is fairly giving with the amount of credits that can be transferred in (88). I have e-mailed them to see if they have any specific limitations on how many of those can be obtained via ACE/CLEP/DSST.

Yes, after graduating I would need to take some BS level EE classes at ASU before starting Masters level EE classes. The EE has a few more advanced math and physics class, in addition to classes that place more emphasis on theory and design.

If Excelsior had an EE proper degree I would pursue that. The big push for Excelsior is that they are quite generous with the percentage of credits they allow you to obtain via CLEP, Straighterline, DSST, Aleks, or transfer. I may have to take additional classes for the MS, sure. However I am saving time by not repeating things I have taken/passed multiple times before. Provided I can get into an MS program, I should only have to take 5-7ish additional classes to bring myself up to par with someone with an BS in EE.

Here are the requirements for admission into MSE program for EE (At ASU):
"Applicants must submit an online Graduate College application.

The decision to admit a student who has earned a bachelor's degree from a program accredited by ABET to a master's program in electrical engineering is based on a number of factors. A minimum requirement is an undergraduate GPA of 3.00 (out of 4.00) in the student's last two years of undergraduate work. A student whose undergraduate degree is not from an ABET-accredited program must have the equivalent of at least a 3.50 GPA in the last two years of undergraduate study and score at least 720 on the quantitative portion of the GRE and a good score on the writing portion.

Students interested in applying to this program must submit an online application to the Graduate College. In addition, an applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in the English language by meeting the English proficiency requirements stated on the Graduate College's website. International students seeking teaching assistantships must demonstrate proficiency in spoken English by scoring at least 26 on the speaking portion of the iBT or 50 on the ASU administered Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK).

The admissions deadline for the fall semester is the preceding Dec. 31; for the spring semester, the preceding July 31.

A student whose undergraduate degree is not in electrical engineering may need to take appropriate undergraduate courses to establish a baseline of knowledge in the discipline."
