I had very few tests. Many of my classes had an undergrad version with the same professor. Most classes are papers and projects. Yes, you need citations. Some classes have discussions. Some don't. Yes, citations are needed.
For a bachelor's in bus admin, UMPI is really the fastest unless you dislike writing. You can complete almost 90 credits on Sophia alone and then complete the remaining needed courses at UMPI where you have to complete a minimum of 30 credits. Most people are able to complete their degree at UMPI 2 sessions which is 16 weeks.
I'm not sure that UMPI has more writing than Excelsior; if it's anything like TESU, then the Excelsior capstone is going to be a LOT of writing (25+ pages for the final paper, 7 writing assignments at 1-2 pages each, and discussion posts every week at TESU). So, it's not going to be 1 paper per course like UMPI, but it's going to be writing-heavy for at least the capstone and possibly the info lit and cornerstone courses.
Thanks. I guess I'll have to see if there are any threads about EU capstone then. And if not, start a thread.

I really like the idea of a degree in Human Services and Business. I am a business owner and work very hard to understand and serve my clients well. But ultimately, I'm not sure it matters so much what the paper says as how fast I can finish it at this point. I spent a lot of time on courses and CLEPs/DSSTs, was stalled by the whole Covid deal (in fact, wasn't able to take the World Religions CLEP r DSST I had been studying hard for). I'd like to finish it up now.
If I go for the Master's, which is in my mind, then I'll be ready for the writing
