tobyisking, for some reason my dyslexia got the best of me and I was trying to find out what to.by.isking was, until now. Anyways, if it was a few years ago, say a dozen or so, I would have recommended Excelsior over TESU and COSC as they were ICABE accredited. However, that has changed since 2016 and for three main reasons.
1) Secondary/Programmatic Accreditation - TESU is now ACBSP, Excelsior is ICABE (lesser known) accredited in the business programs.
2) Easier/more options for finding 18 UL requirements in the AOS and professional business/general education requirements vs 30 UL requirements at Excelsior.
3) They changed their name! Yes, from a college to university. Excelsior is still a college and the name isn't as appealing to me.
