Hello all,
I graduated from Excelsior back in 2008 and got my MBA from JSU in 2010 and I have really been out of the loop since then. I wish I could spend more time here and assist others on the path as so many did for me. I am going to make a renewed effort to do so.
In that vain, I am trying to help a friend of mine that is in a very similar situation to what I was in when I started this whole process which led me to Excelsior.
I have a few questions about where things currently stand with the BIG 3:
I know that I could do the research to find all of these answers on my own, but I also know that there are probably at least a dozen people on this forum that have all of this information at top of mind.
Thanks in advance... there is no more useful forum on the internet regarding education than this one!

I have a few questions about where things currently stand with the BIG 3:
- What are the application fees for each?
- What are the enrollment fees for each to include any technology or other ancilary fees?
- What are the graduation fees for each?
- Does each school still have degree options that require 0% residency and can be mostly tested out of?
- What is the cheapest path for someone that has 60 credits and is seeking a generic BA that can be either mostly or completely done through testing out?
