HI,
I do not know much about Excelsior and Thomas Edison, only that they provide a degree through exams and prior learning.
I have been taking CLEPs to complete my associates degree through my community college. While searching online and speaking to friends, I found out that Western Illinois University offers a Board of Trustees Bachelor of Arts degree. You can completely test out of all your classes through this degree. They also offer credit through a prior learning portfolio. You never need to step foot on the campus. It is 3 hours from me and I still don't want to go there. Western is a highly respected University in Illinois. It is not on the scale of University of Illinois Champain, but it is in the top state schools.
The only downside I can find is that you cannot declare a major. You can declare a minor.
If you are interested in looking at another option their website is http://www.wiu.edu/qc/catalog/bot.shtml
