    Hello all!

    You all seem extraordinarily knowledgeable about D.L. options. I have 21 graduate hours in English from back in the Stone Age. :D I am wondering if there is a D.L. masters program out there that will accept older transfer credits (at least SOME of them -- even 6 or 12 hours). So, if you know of a graduate program in English that:

    1) is regionally accredited;
    2) will accept transfer credits older than 7 years;
    3) is 100% online; and
    4) is remotely affordable . . .

    I would love to hear about it!

    Thanks!

    It must have something to do with accreditation ...

    Thank you Ian.

    Sadly, both schools require that the transfer credits be within 7 years of the anticipated graduation date. I'm WAY past that point, as these credits are from the last century. I suspect that there is some accrediting issue concerning ancient credits and thus I'm totally out of luck. *sigh*

    Thanks anyhow!

    And according to their web site there is no age restriction:
    Q: Is there any time limit on the graduate courses transferred to Tier II?
    A: No. There is no time limit, provided the courses meet the criteria outlined for Tier II.
