Excelsior: AA then BA?

[Skirtlet]

Thanks, I'll tell her to look at TESU for non-capstone associate options. I had suggested Pierpont to her but for some reason it didn't work for her. I think it was a lack of RA credits but will have to confirm with her. I assumed an Excelsior capstone would be fairly quick and a low time commitment, but if it's a lot of busy work, TESU would probably be better for her.

Thanks, she does have the degree plans for each. 7 for the AA then they told her she would need to do a bachelor capstone after. Or, 7 for the BA alone. She has federal aid and some military aid so she would not be paying anything on her own for either/both. I'm not sure how much of a time commitment an Excelsior capstone. She has a lot of very old college credits (20+ years old) so the AA and/or BA would just be in Liberal Arts. She hasn't applied to COSC yet.

Which degrees are they looking at? What is their budget? Does she have a degree plan for each? You need 7 credits for the AA, you need 7 credits for the BA, you need 10 credits for both the AA & BA. If she has tuition assistance or reimbursement from work, it's not a bad deal if she can get all the credits done in couple of terms. Info Lit, Cornerstone, Associates Capstone in one term and the BA Capstone the next term.
