At the finish line - switching from TESU to EC

[TheMaskedMutant]

Well I've finally reached the finish line. The last class I'll need to take.

I was planning to finish with TESU in BALS. I just finished three Study.com courses to cover the missing GE courses. ENG II and Am Government. Added Information Literacy just for kicks and finished all within 3 days.

So as I started reviewing the requirements for the TESU capstone it kind of stuck me that the BALS Capstone requires a 25 page paper. With my time constraints this was a pretty big commitment to me. I was also preparing for that $2200 residency waiver fee.

It got me thinking again about EC. So I started looking and realized I could finish either the BALA or a BSLA. The Capstone was much more broken up and I could do an 8 or 15 week session. The administrative fee for multi-source credits (aka residency) was about 1/2 that of TESU.

So I've pulled the trigger on the EC BSLA. Sent the remainder of my transcripts over for a new evaluation. At 152 credits and over 60 UL it should be a no brainer now.

Anyone have any experience with EC's updated Liberal Arts capstone? I don't see many posts on it here. The format based on the syllabus seems pretty ok.

Congrats! I am in the same boat here. All I have left is my Lib Arts capstone and would love to hear some feedback from who has taken the capstone lately! I will be taking it this fall after my move.

Thanks

You could join the School of Undergraduate Studies at Excelsior College Facebook group.  I know not too long ago, there was a student post talking about the Liberal Arts Capstone.  You'll undoubtedly find folks who have completed it recently in there and can provide you some insight.  Link below:
