Excelsior degree?

[originalbigjim]

It's a regionally accredited school, which is all that should matter. The fact that it is recognized by the armed forces (and one can commission with it) is my litmus test that a school is legit, but I suppose private organizations might still turn their noses up at non-traditional schools.

If you are concerned about your employer's opinion of the school, why not list it on your resume/cv as:

Bachelor of Science in (degree here) - University of the State of New York, Excelsior

...or something to that effect. That way it conveys to the employer that Excelsior is part of a legitimate university system.

can you do that? isnt that a little misleading? I mean I like the idea and it looks WAY better than Excelsior college and i am probably going to list it on my resume now but still i though that excelsior college is now separate and independent?
