    Is there ANY RA school, TESC type, that will take any 120 RA units and roll it into a degree? Even if only a Liberal Arts degree? Is there any school that comes reasonable close? I probably have over 130 of mish mash units I would like to roll into anything at this point. And when I say mish mash I mean it, I was a Chemistry Major, then changed to Electrical Engr, then Accounting, then Business, so Im all over the place here people.

    Hi Bob C,

    The big three (Thomas Edison, Charter Oak, and Excelsior) are probably the best place to start, because the have no limit to the units you can transfer. Most B&M schools require about 30 units to be earned at their schools.

    In addition, you probably already know that earning a BA/BS is not just a matter of units, but requires a general education program and a major program. Even a Liberal Arts degree usually requires a concentration of units in a subject (or sometimes a broad area). I would look at the big three listed above.

    Everything plumbdog said. Excelsior's B.S. in Liberal Arts would be the most likely candidate to accept your engineering and business courses.

    COSC worked very well for me. I had credits from several sources and they did not have a 10 year limit on credits like Excelsior does. COSC accepted credits that were 16 years old. You could also create your own degree plan by selecting the Individualized Studies option.
    Good luck.

    Most schools are going to have an expectation that you complete 30 semester credits with them, but that would still mean you are close. In my own case I transferred 94 hours to UMKC, but still had to take 30 hours for them to award the degree. My sister transferred over 150 hours, but still had to complete 30 for Chadron state College to award her a degree. My mother had 30 hours over 24 years old, however, she found a communtiy college that would accept them, completed 34 hours and earned an AA, then transferred to Wichita State for 40 hours, however she moved. Ultimately she earned her degree from St' MAry's college, but had to complete 30 hours with them. I think you will find many institutions, DL and tradtional, that will accept your hours, but will require 30 semester hours for them to award you a degree from their school.

    Obecve,

    That's why I suggested the big three. They have no resident unit requirements.
