Important Changes to Excelsior Business Degrees

[barcotta]

I attempted to confirm the degree title I would receive from Excelsior after being told that I would receive a "Bachelor of Science in Business," which didn't seem consistent with the announced criteria.

It turns out that they had it wrong which, in the early stages of a change, is to be expected. Here's the correction:

I apologize, I was incorrect. I just checked with our Assistant registrar and your diploma will read Bachelor of Science in General Business. There will be a gold sticker on your Diploma indicating your cum laude. The new degree title will be Bachelor of Science with a concentration in General Business. The titles are how the degrees are registered with the State Department of Education.

IACBE accreditation is not listed on the diploma. It is on our website under the School of Business and Accreditation.

That's a mouthful, huh? Turns out the choice I thought I had wasn't a choice at all, but it looks like the future is a a "Bachelor of Science with a concentration in General Business." Also, Excelsior sure isn't promoting their IACBE accreditation much--but it's there.
