Excelsior is an accredited, not-for-profit distance learning institution founded in 1971 focused on providing educational opportunity to adult learners. We meet students where they are – academically and geographically, offering quality instruction and the assessment of learning. Our focus on student success by meeting their learning needs has led to the concept of an ecosystem that integrates all our offerings: instructor-led and self-paced courses; prior learning assessment, and stackable credentials.

Excelsior offers more than 35-degree programs across six areas of study: business, health sciences, liberal arts, nursing, public service, and technology. Dedicated academic advisors and faculty members foster and promote academic success as students work towards career advancement and achievement of life goals.
