    Hey can anyone please give me advice. I have over 120 credit and I got accepted to pharmacy school in the Fall. I don't need a bachelors degree for pharmacy school but i want one for my self. I can't get a bachelors degree in my school because the classes to finish a biology degree is in the fall. Do you know any schools with very generous transfer credit policy and lets me finish any bachelors i don't care if its general studies or biology anything as long as its a bachelors by the summer preferably online.

    Your best choice would be:
    - Thomas Edison State University (State of New Jersey)

    If you studied at a regionally accredited community college, you may transfer and apply up to 80 credits.
    If you studied at a regionally accredited four-year institution, you may transfer and apply up to 117 credits.
    If you have studied at more than one institution, we can accept your credits, provided the institutions are regionally accredited.

    - Excelsior College (State of New York)
    - Charter Oaks State College (State of Connecticut)

    You might have to complete a capstone in order to receive a degree from those institution.

    You said you only need to take one class to graduate and that class is only offered in the fall? Have you looked to see if another school offers that class and then you can just transfer that one class in to your current school and graduate there?

    IMHO that is the way to go.

    My school won't accept the transfer Credit, SUNY Buffalo, and there is no way I can balance that class with my pharmacy classes in the fall .
    Thomas Edison said they can't due to missing Gens eds and i have to take 5 more credits in 300 or 400 level biology courses because my school offered the same classes in the 200 level
    Charter Oaks State College has two cap stones one offered at fall and one offered at spring
    Excelsior only does teaching degrees for science and its very different then mine
    like does anyone know any other option i just want any B.A or B.S

    Excelsior doesn't have any teaching degrees. You might be mixing them up with Western Governors University. No matter which school you go to, you're going to have to deal with meeting their specific requirements. If you don't have enough upper level biology credits, then choose a non-science degree and test out of the rest of the upper level credits you need.

    There are only four regionally accredited schools in the U.S. and Canada that have little to no residency requirement for bachelors degrees. Those schools are TESU, COSC, Excelsior, and Athabasca (90-credit bachelor of general studies). Just about every other school is going to require that you complete at least 25% of your degree with their courses.

    TESU, COSC, and Excelsior have a lot of different degree programs including very flexible liberal studies/arts and self-designed programs. You said you don't care if you get a general studies degree, but you only looked at science programs.

    Which biology course was 200-level at your school? There are a few options that can be completed very quickly for UL biology credits, but there are a lot more non-science options.
