EXCEL is a non-traditional, degree-completion program administered through Elizabethtown College’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies. Provided as an alternative to the 5-week accelerated bachelor’s degree program, EXCEL is designed specifically for adults who have significant work-related experience in the field in which they plan to finish their degree, at least 50 college credits completed, a clear sense of career goals, and strong academic ability.
EXCEL is a highly individualized program that provides the flexibility that many adults desire in order to accelerate degree completion. Applications are reviewed year-round. In addition to supplying college transcripts, references, and a written goal statement, applicants must come to campus for a pre-admission interview and fill out an online application.
A Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS) can be earned through the EXCEL program. The BPS is offered with majors in:
- Business Administration
- Corporate Communication
- Criminal Justice
- Health Care Administration
- Human Services
- Human Services - Behavioral & Addictions Counseling
- Information Systems

Degree Requirements:
This program employs the assessment of experiential learning as a significant element in fulfilling degree requirements of 125 credits for a Bachelor’s degree. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) examinations, independent study, and traditional college courses are used to fulfill course requirements. In addition, a Course Equivalency Proposal (CEP) argues and documents that the learner has already achieved the learning outcomes of a specific Elizabethtown College course and can be used to satisfy credit for a course. Students are required to take a one-credit EXCEL Essentials course to review various components of the EXCEL program.
