A unique and innovative institution, Excelsior College offers a flexible and affordable approach that gives your students options in choosing their path to degree completion. Students complete their studies through online courses, credit by exam, and a variety of other options, including courses at their local community colleges. Many of our students transfer in 90 credits or more from community colleges, meaning they can continue taking approved courses with you after graduation. We look forward to discussing the opportunities we provide to your students, particularly those who may have thought that a bachelor’s degree was out of reach.
