I was looking at Bellevue University's accelerated Bachelor of Science program (cohort) that requires that you have an Associates Degree (or 60 credits) to enter. I also noticed that the management program total is 40 credits. I believe that the remainder of the credits to complete the degree can be from the 100/200 level. Is this correct? Also, is there an accredited, online university that will accept a generous amount of 100/200 level credits towards a Bachelor Degree?
Thomas Edison State College will accept up to 80 credits from a community college: Thomas Edison State College: Transfer credit earned at other colleges and universities to Thomas Edison State College
If I have this right, Excelsior accepts up to 105 community college credits, but you usually need 30-something upper level credits to complete your degree. Excelsior College | Academic Charter Oak State College accepts up to 87 transfer credits from community colleges. Community College - Charter Oak State College
I completed the MS in Performance Management at Bellevue. I matriculated with an AAS from Thomas Edison State College, which Bellevue accepted as meeting all core requirements. In keeping with their policies, that meant I had to complete the major (36 hours) and the Kirkpatrick Series (9 hours). All remaining credits to get to the 126 can be from any level. I used some 100/200 religion courses and some FEMA courses.
If your 100/200-level coursework is not from a community college, then TESC only requires 12-18 upper level credits for their degree programs. All of the upper level credits are in the major or area of study. However, they limit you to six 100-level credits in the area of study for the BA programs and certain types of lower level credits will not be allowed in the area of specialization for the business administration programs. TESC has no residency requirement (a course that has to be taken with them online or in person) except for a capstone or current trends and application course for their BA, BSAST, and some BS (not including BSBA because you can transfer in or test out of that capstone) programs. That means you can transfer in everything else using coursework from regionally accredited colleges, courses that are ACE or NCCRS-approved for college credits (Straighterline, Saylor, some Penn Foster courses, etc), and CBEs (CLEP, DSST, TECEP, Uexcel, etc).
