Because TESC and Excelsior are one of the few schools in the U.S. that accept so much credit from so many different places for a good price.

If youve gotten like 18 credits from the military, 24credits from different community colleges in the past from random courses, and took a couple college level examinations (CLEPs) - most colleges you couldnt just transfer all of them - youd most likely have to start over.
But you could transfer em all and get Excelsior's Associates in Liberal Arts.
thats why its so rad.

And they accept it from all different sources too.
From test-out-able college exams, to some Penn Foster courses, to some cheap online courses like ALEKS, FEMA, and Straighterline -
if you were smart enough, you could accumulate all the credits you needed for a specific degree for under 500$ (if youre in the military cause CLEPs are free) and then just pay the enrollment and graduation fee of like 3grand and have a regionally accredited bachelor's degree in less than a year (if you were vigilant)
Some college students take 4-5 years and have tens of thousands of dollars in student loans that they have to pay off. Not to mention the time in homework and studying for tests, etc. Just to get the same thing you got in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the cost.

Thats why were always talking about it
in fact - i suspect some people on here ask questions about TESC and EC that they already know just cause they like to talk about it cause its so FREAKING cOOL!

Thats why, playa!
That...
is why.
