Excelsior College launched 2 new programs, the Bachelor of Professional Studies in Business and Management, and the Bachelor of Professional Studies in Technology Management on March 1st.

These new military-friendly degree programs were designed for:
• Military servicemembers applying credit for military training toward a bachelor’s degree
• Military spouses
• Veterans
• DoD civilians with government-sponsored training evaluated for college credit by ACE
• People with associate’s degrees in applied science (administrative/management studies or technical studies)

You can apply up to 45 elective credits toward program requirements — a great head start to your bachelor’s degree that saves you time and money.

“The launch of the BPS degrees underscores Excelsior’s long-standing commitment to serving members of the military. For those pursuing specific career paths, a bachelor’s degree in business and management or technology may be essential. These programs are designed to allow maximum credit transfer, making degree completion much more efficient for those with military training to earn a degree matched to their career field. The new BPS degrees provide graduates of the AAS degrees in business and technology the opportunity to continue their education at the bachelor’s degree level.”

- Susan Dewan, Executive Director, Center for Military Education
