    It depends on the agreements with the schools. I know USF takes any Florida community college AS as a full 60 credits.

    Columbia College has a policy which can be favorable to some people:

    They seem to readily accept transfer credit anyway, so it might not even be an issue.

    Any of the big three most likely will as well.
    What state is your AS from?

    It's a DETC degree....I have an AS in CJ from Andrew Jackson University.

    That one is more tricky. I'm sure another expensive DETC school might be willing to work with you. You could try Baker. They are pretty much a non profit business thats all about making as much as it can so it can spend it all and be non profit. Really weird school that I bailed from before I got started but they make be willing to work with you. They are RA accredited.
    Again try the big three. Excelsior is often pretty liberal in their acceptance policy.

    Another problem I see is unless your going for a BS in CJ then a lot of those courses may not be transfer friendly.

    Yeah I forgot about the DETC thing, you might be screwed because not too many R/A schools will observe a DETC degree.

    Good luck in your search thou !

    Union is way way to much money. $1,500 a class is a bit over priced.

    Columbia has an alternate transfer acceptance route, where they might approve 30-something credits from a non-RA Associates degree. Better than nothing, although since APU/AMU are still DETC accredited, I have heard from other sources that you might be able to transfer to them. They are much more reasonably priced than most other suggestions you might come across.

    Absolutely 100% they will not. Each credit is evaluated. Sorry!

    If you are talking about your Clovis degree, ask your Clovis advisor for a list of schools that have "an articulation with Clovis" and they will provide you with a list. (I'll do it and save you a step) Transferring From CCC

    From there, narrow it down to schools that offer some/all of the degree you seek - then decide. These transfer agreements almost always involve a block credit transfer.
    Good luck!!

    I have read of many people having luck especially with Excelsior. Read around on the different forums and you will see what I mean. As far as I can tell it's situation specific.

    I think she knows what she's talking about.

    ...and then, after you do that (for $75), you'll learn that absolutely 100% they will not. It's not situation specific.

    Let me ask, what do you see as an advantage to a block transfer over indy credit eval? There can be specifics, like in an applied tech degree where your gen eds wouldn't cover a bachelor's degree's gen eds- but that might not be the case. Anyhooo, even though you are looking at a DETC associates, you should send both transcripts to American Public University System - Official Site and my money is on their acceptance. That's almost a sure fire solution.

    Second- still go back to Clovis and look, there are several universities listed, I checked, and many have online degrees- it's a "maybe" at least. This is one case where an advisor will be helpful.

    Third- stay at AJU. Why not? IMO, it might be easier to apply to a master's program that doesn't specify RA/NA than it is to get an undergrad degree- simply because it's a a credit evaluation issue vs just an admission issue. So, I wouldn't say that staying at AJU is a bad idea...but of course it depends on what you want to do.

    I'm going to knock out my last class at Clovis this summer, then I will have a Associates of General Studies. I have kicked around the idea of staying with Andrew Jackson because it's the "smart" thing to do, I could be done in about 8 or 9 months. I want a RA undergrad degree so bad...but can I make up for the lack of name and RA accreditation with a masters degree? So do you think that having an RA associate’s degree from a community college, a NA bachelors and a RA masters from a good named school will look good on my resume? I want to get into counseling and am going to start at the LCDC Training | Licenced Chemical Dependency Counselor Training in Texas on the 11th of this month; all you need is an associate degree from a school that holds Chea recognized accreditation. I'm just glad that I'm not the only one so stuck; I see that MC is going through the same crap as me. I want to get done with a Bachelors so I can get into the LPC program at Liberty University or some other school. Liberty accepts NA degrees with no problems.

    Now that you dropped the "licensed state professional" bomb I'll have to bow out. I haven't a clue what your state requires. You should have opened with that question lol.

    My BA/BS has nothing to do with the with the LCDC, I already meet those degree requirements. I just looking for a school that will take my AS in whole.
