Hello Forum-Participants, Is anyone aware of some legitimate entity, (such as the Excelsior College is as an undergraduate program), that has a "credit bank", i.e., allows a student to bank his/her graduate-level academic work from various institutions for some further end? Any ideas of something that might be similar in scope or function? Looking forward to any ideas on the subject. Kenneth K. A.
You might want to pose that question Thomas Edison State College. They accept graduate-level work (not previously used towards a degree) for credit in their undergraduate programs; I can't see why they wouldn't also transcript graduate courses as part of their Credit Bank program.
Since most graduate programs only accept 0 to 9 semester units towards a graduate degree I do not think there would be a big demand for a service such as this.
good points Good idea about TESC. I shall investigate. Yes, I understand about graduate programs taking limited number of credits, but the issue here is if there is such an entity that would act as a consolidator of one's academic history into one transcript. I would be interested to know if there is such a thing. Would evaluator-type of agencies do something like this? The question came up with a friend the other day, and I am trying to get a definitive answer on the subject. Kenneth K. A.
credit banking Hello, Why not try the ACE credit banking service. This seems a much cheaper alternative then TESC? Have a peaceful weekend. Hille
About ACE Hello Hille, I am not familiar with "ACE". Please, explain what you mean. Where does one contact with ACE? Regards, Kenneth K. A.
ACE Hello, The American Council of Education has a website. The have cooperation or an alliance with the DETC. I find the literature a little confusing. I think one of the forum moderators will give you a clearer idea. I noticed my husbands CLEP scores reflected ACE credit value. I hope I haven't confused you. My husband has tried several times to get information about Dale Carnegie Credits with very little luck. Dale Carnegie on the other hand researched his certificate and produced a notarized copy to send to ACE. This certificate is dated 1980. This is one of the areas I am trying to decode this summer. I'll update the board as I progress. Have a peaceful evening. Hille
ACE Recommended Credit I know that I have taken Ace-Recommended Professional Courses that were included in my TESC Degree. I suggest you peruse the TESC and Ace Websites to find out more about what you can use for credit. Regards, Mike
Kenneth, Excelsior enables you to transfer as many as 18 liberal arts credits into their MLS program. All you need to add is the thesis (potentially highly useful, career-wise), but prior to working on it, you need to complete a 9 credit 3 semester sequence in liberal arts appreciation, and if you don't mind that, it's a great program, also very humanely priced.
