Advice Please

I am wanting to acquire my bachelors in health science. I recieved an Associates degree at a nationally accredited school. I would like to do this online. I was not aware this would be an issue. I thought once I had my degree it wouldnt matter where it came from. I have heard we can not help you so many times I am sick, but I am determined to acquire this degree and my faith is not completely shaken yet. Anyone got any advice?

 

There are a number of schools that have online degree programs in health science. Which have you already contacted?

 

Arizona State and a few that didn't even offer the correct degree.Do you know any that will accept a nationally accredited schools credits.

 

If you have a nationally accredited associate's degree, then maybe the next step could be a nationally accredited bachelor's program. For example, you might look at Huntington College of Health Sciences, or the American College of Healthcare Services. Both of these schools offer online bachelor's degrees in health sciences. More importantly, both of them are nationally accredited themselves (by DETC). They should have no reason to discriminate against credits from a nationally accredited school, because their own credits have the same status.

The downside to this approach is that nationally accredited degrees simply don't get the same recognition as regionally accredited degrees. You have already learned that your nationally accredited associate's degree has limitations -- well, the same would be true for a nationally accredited bachelor's degree. So before going further down the nationally accredited road, you should think about what you want to do with your degree, and whether or not a nationally accredited bachelor's degree will meet your future needs.

 

Have you spoken to American Military University? They are both nationally and regionally accreditied.

 

HCHS says that up to 95 credits can be transferred into their Bachelor's of Health Science program, and that they can have any form of accreditation accepted by the US Dept. of Education or CHEA. So this should include your nationally accredited credits -- but again, this only makes sense if another nationally accredited degree will work for you.

 

Good option, AMU is NA / RA accredited and offers a BS in Sports and Health Sciences: AMU Degree Program: Bachelor of Science in Sports and Health Sciences.
