Academic fresh start or no?

[rachel83az]

Do we have degree plan for Excelsior IT degree ( or sample of it) on wiki or any thread related to it?
Thank you

We do not. However, you can cross reference this PDF which shows the structure of an IT degree: https://www.excelsior.edu/wp-content/upl...5_2021.pdf

With this one that shows how to meet the requirements for a Criminal Justice degree from Study.com: https://www.excelsior.edu/wp-content/upl...5_2021.pdf

Plus https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List for meeting the gen ed requirements, at the very least, with Sophia.

Finally, the SDC -> EC transfer page here: https://study.com/college/school/excelsior-college.html 

I think that there are 9 to 11 courses that you wind up having to take at EC (not counting the capstone/cornerstone/info lit). That's 27-33 credits + 7 for the required ones or 34-40 total credits.

Cost per credit at EC is $410 (with partner discount) tuition + $28 Academic Service Fee + $20 Technology fee = $458

Total cost for all credits, $15k-$18k plus whatever SDC/Sophia costs.

Contrast with TESU:

Two flat-rate terms are $4639 each * 2 = $9,278. Assuming you took 12 credits per term, that gets you to 24 credits (capstone, cornerstone, 6 required classes). No residency waiver. But you still need another 6 RA credits for an additional $300-$400 (via TEL or ONU) to bring the total up to 30 RA credits.

If you do an IT degree at TESU, you need physics or chemistry and that may cost more. You might also need a third flat-rate term for IT because (without actually looking) it appears that there might be more than 6 classes that aren't available at SDC. That brings the cost of an IT degree from TESU to potentially around $14k + SDC/Sophia costs.
