No you aren't misunderstanding I found out that a lot of my general education requirements weren't good at umuc that new england accrediation issue and most of my old jobs would pay for job related not general ed credits so that is what I need. I plan on giving excelsior a call. I new that I would need the business courses but thought a lot of my ifsm courses could go for electives.
I also finished my associates in new england in 1980, so lots of stuff is over 20 years old. I was hoping to finish up within the year and that isn't looking possible at umuc either considering I can't even get a good response on what I should take to graduate in the least possible time and I work full time. My kids and I thought it would be fun if we could all graduate from college this year (one from grad school one from undergrad). Yes sadly if I do the umuc route I would also have 3 high tuitions this year.
I may have to take a day off of work and drive the 1 1/2 - 2 hours down to Adelphia and have a face to face with the advisor but I am not impressed to say the least and figure it would just be a giant waste of time.
