From state-approved to accredited

Hello,

I have done about 30 credits at a state-approved Christian school, and I'd like to transfer to an accredited distance school (perhaps Thomas Edison). Does anyone know if they might accept such credits or at least the coursework as portfolio?

Thanks,
Zach

 

You'd probably have your best luck looking for an accredited school that was already familiar with the state-approved school - perhaps an RA Christian school of a theologically similar or compatible persuasion?

 

What is this portfolio/prior learning assessment. Also, what do I have to do? Please forgive me for my ignorant. I am new and I have been out of college for 30 years.

 

What an excellent question! For an excellent set of answers may I suggest the articles on this website?

Thank you for the infomation. I should have check the articles. Anyway, I'm going to do some more reseach. So far, I'd applied at Excelsior and awaiting for thier evaulation. I hope I can test out as much as I can.

 

thanks

I have thought about transferring to an accredited Christian school, but such distance programs are hard to find! So far, I've only found Moody to have a fully accredited off-site degree.

I figured that portfolio would be the way to go with a secular school - thanks for the info!
