National Accreditation Credit Transfer

I have a friend who is doing a respitory therapy associates program at Kaplan College, which is nationally accredited. Does anybody know of a regionally accredited bachelors degree program that can be completed online? The subject would have to be health care related.

Thanks

 

There are plenty of RA schools accept NA credits. Here is the list...URL:http://www.chea.org/heta/search.asp#ser

Also, Kaplan University accepts NA credits....I thought Kaplan College is under Kaplan University, isn't it?

 

Yeah, Kaplan University will take them, but she doesn't want to spend that kind of money anymore. The RT program she is doing is a hands on program in person. She wants to do her next online program for less money and an RA school.

 

If she is Christian or doesn't mind attending a Christian school, Liberty accepts NA credits into their programs, they have a RN to BSN program if that's what she's looking for?

CHEA's HETA list has schools that are generally accepting of NA credits (and/or are NA themselves ... but it does include many RA schools):

The fact that a school is a member of the Higher Education Transfer Alliance does not guarantee they will accept NA credits. It only means that the school won't reject the credits solely because they are NA.

 

I was also interested in this. I have an AAS from Remington College in Electronics which is NA accredited. I'm looking to finish my BA online and don't care what the major is, as I'm already well into the IT field.

 

Lamar State takes NA for their online programs with no issues. They claim to have in state rates but their out of state rastes are low as heck to.

Excelsior College also accepts NA credits.

 

More like, "Excelsior College accepts NA credits".........on a case by case basis.

 

I thought you have to appeal after you are being accepted to the program.

 

Wow! I looked at Lamar's BAAS program once and didn't noticed tuition was that affordable. :shrug:

 

I get the impression that the appeal thing has either gone away, or rarely done anymore. Thanks to the efforts of pioneers like Jamie Gauthier (thanks if you are reading this) contesting the NA RA policies at EC, the big three are becoming more familiar with NA accreditors. Plus, now that EC has been taking NA credits for a years now, they must have a good idea of what equals what as far as RA credits, and are starting to accumulate data on previous NA courses accepted.
