    Good Morning, My husband has 18 grad credits in Education and would like to finish up his Masters. Are there any other options that are viable except Excelsior? TESC will only accept 6 credits. Hille

    Unisa

    If your husband already has a B.Ed degree, then UNISA offers a variety of research-only graduate degrees. Though with 18 graduate-level credit hours in education the school might waive the B.Ed requirement.

    You should check out Ted Heiks' work-in-progress list of education Master's degrees;

    Chances are not great of finding a program which will accept more than 6-9 credits, but it certainly can't hurt to ask.

    DETC or State Approved

    My husband works for a state school. This is not to be confused with the public school sector. I believe I read somewhere that they accept DETC masters or state approved programs for advancement. If this is the case any suggestions for a school? He is mid 50s and plans to stay within this system. Hille

    The problem is finding a graduate programme willing to accept 18 graduate credit hours in transfer. You might not locate such a school other than a research-based masters degree that would accept the 18 graduate credit hours. Is your husband willing to write a thesis to earn the graduate degree?

    Try Aspen University


    *********************************


    Hi Hille,

    Check out Aspen University, the school is DETC accredited and they accept 18 credits in transfer and they offer a Master of Education.

    http://www.aspen.edu/

    "Graduate Degree Programs - Aspen University's Graduate degree requirement is the equivalent of 36 credit hours of earned credit. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for transfer credits at the graduate degree level. Subject to evaluation and confirmation, students may transfer a maximum of 18 credits toward the 36 credit Graduate Degree Programs."


    Take care,

    I believe that Mountain State accepts up to 21 credits into their Interdisciplinary Masters.

    Western Governors University offers several graduate degrees in education and I believe they have very liberal transfer credit policies. They are both RA and NA.

    Hi;

    Can you provide a link to verify this? I was all over the MSU site and couldn't find it........it's fantastic news, if they do accept that much graduate credit. Take care,

    Check out American Military University and American Public University (both RA and NA). If I remember correctly, they accept a maximum of 15 units of transfer...

    I don't see a ton of info on the website. If you do a search here you will find more.

    Also, you could give them a call to find out more details.

    If I know more I would post it here for you.

    Good luck, I hope I am correct with the information that I shared.

    Hi Hillie,

    I believe what you are saying is your husband works for a state agency in a teaching capacity? What State are you in? In california, NA or RA works for most State of CA jobs. I see the distinction you are makiing. Please elaborate.

    Thanks,

    Abner

    Aspen University is about as flexible as schools come with regards to transferring of graduate credit hours and the pace at which he can complete the courses. If he takes the independent study mode, your husband can really fly through the coursework provide he is motivated. Check the web site for the graduate-level tuition (USD900.00 per course), therefore it is within the USD1500.00 limit of his employer.

    Um, thanks, I guess......

    Yes, I could give MSU a call, or email, or search degreeinfo. For that matter, ANYONE could.

    But since you shared the information about the credit MSU would accept as a probable fact, I assumed that you could provide a source or at least some insight as to WHY you thought this. Obviously something planted the idea; can you give me better than "find it yourself"? :confused: :confused:

    It was posted here on more than one occasion. That is where I got my information. Which is why I said "I believe that Mountain State..."

    I didn't state it as fact. I simply shared what I read here. Which is the same thing that you can do. If I wanted to find more information about the program I could call them or pour over their catalog. Since I am not looking for a program like that I see no reason do do so.

    If you do a search you can find everything that I know about the program.

    I search the catalog and found out that they no longer have the policy that allows you to earn a BA with taking only 18 credits through them. I found out that they no longer allow for such a large amount of transfer credit for that degree. Hopefully, they didn't change the policy on their Masters program as well.

    In other words, you never really had an idea to begin with, and don't really care (which makes me wonder why you posted to begin with). Sorry to have wasted both of our time. :rolleyes:

    Actually, skidadl was providing you with pointers to information sources regarding your question. While everyone on this forum is probably only too willing to assist those asking questions, we cannot do all the research for you.

    The search function of the forum does work most of the time.
