I'm curious to hear what any of you might have to say about Excelisor. I wonder how credible their degrees appear to potential employers. There is a similar type of school in Connecticut called Charter Oak State College that does the same exact thing and I remember people saying that having a degree from there was kind of considered second rate....
My main issue with my current college is that I have to take a minimum of 25% of my credits at this school in order to get a degree from them. That means I would have to take like 4 extra classes just to meet that requirement. (I have lots of transfer credits) I really don't want to do that!
Sorry for rambling...just looking for some guidance...

rjc311, I saw that EC was listed in US News ranking of top colleges. It was for highest number of transfer students and most students over age 25. I guess that goes to it's credibility since that many people wouldn't transfer in or go back to school there unless it was a good gig. I think I read something about Davenport and Regis being the next closest in transfer enrollments.
I'm enrolled there and I've been very happy with them, my employer is also satisfied with the college, and I work for a very "academic" company - we create and publish standardized tests (not CLEP or DSST's though).
I think there is a lot to be said about just having the degree as well. It's easy for employers to toss your resume when you don't have a degree, but if you do, it seems they don't really care where it's from, just that you have it.
Just my two cents.
