Does University really takes this courses, I was going to go to Northwestern State University but after they review my credits they were only giving credits for 26 credits. University of Houston is giving me transfer 52 Credits. I was thinking of Doing study.com or Straighterline ACE credits to increase the credits increase but I’m finding out no much universities take them unless they are coming from an accredited college or University. At this point my best bet to finish faster and less money is CLEP. Any other ideas?
Welcome to the credit transfer game of thrones. Universities does not "take" these courses directly. They take them through ACE/NCCRS transcript, and if the course can be "mapped" into their curriculum. The exception may be like Saylor.org "Direct Credit" courses, which are directly accepted by a few colleges. I'd start with choosing a school first: Do they have a degree that fits my career goals? How generous they are in credit transfer? Typical "generous" schools take in 60-90 credits How flexible they are about the source of credit? Some take only ACE approved, some may take NCCRS while some may have "direct transfer" from a specific provider like TESU with Saylor. Overall cost and my budget. If the school takes 90 credits (out of 128. say) but charges $1000 per credit for remaining, I may still end up paying over ~$40k. Once the target school is identified: Apply for an evaluation. On receiving the evaluation, make a spreadsheet of all the courses for the degree, and strike-off credits already received. Identify the gaps. Compare each course against offerings by the providers, adding them to the sheet as potential sources. Some schools like TEST, WGU, Excelsior etc provide some kind of mapping to help. But not every school does that. This requires a lot of research on their website, and may be a few interactions with the student advisors. Start interacting with the school on the course equivalencies. We may not get a definitive answer in each and every case, but it's better than regretting later. Now I have my rough degree plan.
Have you read the previous thread you created last week? There were mentions and recommendations of the Big 3 and WGU - Excelsior, TESU, COSC. That rough degree plan is exactly how it should be done - I suggest you apply to TESU and WGU as both of those are great schools, get an evaluation but don't enroll yet.

One more thing I wanted to add: List your courses and where they were taken, the course name and number, along with the grade you received. Whatever you have in ACE/NCCRS/CLEP, etc, list them. Also, list any certificates or certifications you have, it may be eligible for college credit.
One other comment, since you have at least 52 credits, the question is not who is going to give you the most credits in transfer, rather what you want to do and how much you want to spend on the REST of the degree. It is possible to spend less money at a college that gives you zero credits in transfer than one that gives you 52. We see it here all day long!
hey Thank you all for the comments: please see the courses taken they were most at FIU or Miami Dade College: my plan is to finish my undergraduate degree and get an MBA, i'm not how i want to go to Baylor University for MBA. I was looking at some universities recommended here like: TESU , also CSU Global is really linear with transfer Credits. I guess I want to do it fast that's why i wanted to CLEP and ACE a lot of credits, Question if i do TESU or other Big 3, WGU TEXAS how they will look at the MBA admission? what are the chances of getting into a good MBA program? kind of ignorance on those school because i just found out about them recently i'm still doing my research.

Sorry that wasn’t for you but if you see my comment of all credits already taken. I think TEEU is legit and I probably can do it fast.
Yes, you can follow your original plan of doing Straighterline for the lower level credits and Study.com for the upper level courses in the AOS, Area of Study. If I was in your shoes, I would create an ACE registry account, work in ALEKS for College Algebra, Trigonometry, Intro to Statistics and try to finish in a month for $20 unproctored 9 credits. And then Start Straighterline, work on your Study.com courses last, once the courses have been added to your ACE, you can send everything to TESU to evaluate.
