Air Force and Air National Guard

"I chose Excelsior because of the flexibility, and the fact that I could go anywhere in the world to complete my degree. My BSL coupled with my extensive experience in the military enabled me to land an executive position in a premier business outsourcing company. I recommended Excelsior to others, and they've completed their degrees too." — Paul A. Chick, USAF
