Help Me Stay On-Track

There is nothing wrong with Excelsior if you like it. The key difference between Excelsior and TESC is that TESC is more liberal in applying UL status to credits, where Excelsior will count it as a LL. This makes it extremely easy to test out of business degrees. I switched from Excelsior after paying the enrollment and multi-source fees because it was still cheaper to go to TESC given the same tests because TESC counted many as UL and Excelsior did not. I am very happy I switched schools, finishing at excelsior would have added atleast 6 months and much more expense to my degree. The key benefit I miss from Excelsior is access to decent advising. TESC has worked well for me, but you have to be very direct in what you ask for and research on your own.

From what I can tell COSC shines with articulation agreements and use of financial aid. i have no experience with them so I can't comment on how well they fit.

Straighterline was a lifesaver for me. My main issue with tests is going to a testing center. Straighterline let me gain credit while at work, or in any spare time I had. I highly recommend you look into this. If you have any more questions on SL, just message me, I'd be happy to answer them.
