One Army Grad's Transfer Credit Success Story

"I started my degree right out of high school 30 plus years ago. I was in college for two years, went into the workforce, and then was in the army for 22 years....Excelsior gives you the most bang for your buck and is probably the most military-friendly school out there, accepting most of your past college credits from a variety of places and for military training, also. I was an HR specialist for the Army and did some recruiting, All that transferred into college credits at EC and a lot of other schools wouldn't accept those. They accept credits from a technical school I attended also....This is a milestone that I have accomplished and it feels good."
