Getting Excelsior Degree if I am already about to graduate

Published

I am in the last month of my college now but it isn't NLN accredited and I would like to join the air force reserves. They require a bachelors or NLN accredidation to join as an officer. Is there a minimum amount of classes to take or can I just take the final. Not sure if anyone will know this answer but the hold line for a counselor takes forever.

If you are referring to the Excelsior program, then to the best of my knowledge you have to complete the entire program based on what they tell you in your evaluation. Your evaluation will indicate what, if any, of your previous courses will be accepted toward your Excelsior degree. I have never seen any provisions for leaving exams or other requirements out of the Excelsior plan of study. Either they give you credit for completion elsewhere or you complete the requirement to their satisfaction. You need to discuss this with an Excelsior advisor. If you can't reach them by phone, then try email or snail mail.

They will waive the second exam. All of the others, including passing the clinical, will have to be repeated.

The second exam is waived for those holding a valid LPN or LVN license.
