As an adult learner, I could not be happier with Excelsior. Professors were wonderful and scribed letters of recommendation for my doctorate studies. Advisors, counselors, and particularly the librarians were exceptional! Just an overall wonderful graduate experience.
Excelsior College exists to make sure that anyone who wants a college degree can get one! I thought that their nursing program was excellent and prepared me for the real world well. I enjoyed the classes I had and my professors, although online, posed great questions that made me think about the type of nurse I wanted to be. I was also impressed with how committed they are to making college affordable for students. Want to work a full or part-time job to be able to afford college more easily? Excelsior gives you a flexible course schedule and lets you study on your terms. Are you having a particularly tough time paying the bills and need a more flexible option for a month of tuition? Excelsior’s financial services will be able to help work with you to get on a payment plan. They even offer financial aid based on need and scholarships, too, so it never hurts to apply for these things if you think you might qualify.
I graduated from Excelsior in July 2021 with my B.S. in Health Sciences. I chose to attend Excelsior because it is non-profit, regionally accredited, offers courses in 8-week terms & focuses on student success. Excelsior is unique in their dedication to adult learners, the high quality of online education provided, & how they teach students to take personal responsibility for obtaining their own degree when given the right tools to do so. Online college students need good time management skills, self-discipline, a goal-oriented mindset, & a high level of motivation.
My only issue is the Processing of Monthly Conferrals. Students who complete their degree, are automatically given a conferral date (when degree is officially awarded) based on last course's end date (takes 3 months). Calculate how many classes you have to take at a time to qualify for commencement. Don't take more than 3 courses within an 8-week term. If you take a course in Jan, it can only be an 8-week term course.
