Here's my story. Ten years ago I did everything I needed for a BA at the U of Minnesota except the second language requirement. Now, at 42 and life being as busy as it is, completing that 2nd language requirement is next to impossible given the time commitment. Which school is going to accept the majority of my credits so I can get a degree asap and move on to grad school or...well, just move on?
Do you have a transcript of all the courses taken? Could you list all the classes you have taken at the school or any other college/university? Do you know any other language other than English? French? German? Spanish? What was your BA major? Will a BALS work for you? If my guess is correct, you're just missing 4 courses plus a capstone for your major... depending on what that major is, a BA Liberal Studies may suffice from one of the Big 3 - I lean towards TESU often.
Honestly, the best thing to do is get an evaluation of your transcripts through each of the Big 3 and see which is best for your particular situation. Then take the path of least resistance, earn your degree, and move on with life.
I agree. Also, at Charter Oak State College you'll have to take at least two courses (Cornerstone and Capstone). I believe there's at least one required at each of the others as well, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Again, an evaluation from each will tell you that. Good luck!
Reality Check . . . Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time that some of you get your heads out of your proverbially academic butts. To wit: This message has appeared on the board previously (and, indeed, recently). By another writer. This version, written by halenruch, indicates that she is a new member, female, 27 years old, who joined the board on the day her post was written, and that it was her first post. So, has anyone noticed that DI seems to be getting quite a few “new members” who joined “today,” posted one message on their first day (and will never seen seen again), claim to be are 25-35 years old (keeping in mind that most legit posters do not post their age in their profiles). I call bullshit. Our moderators, who generally do a fine job, may be adjusting these messages before they hit the board, since there would be no reason for the writers to submit them unless they had an imbedded web link for some product. If the mods are, indeed, deleting spam links, well done. But why are they not deleting the entire message and banning the new so-called member at the same time? Meanwhile, some of our older, well-established members should, indeed, remove their heads from their butts and be more discerning. Start by explaining how some who claims to be 27 in her new member profile managed to complete most of her college requirements 10 years ago. Obviously, it’s by claiming to be 42 in her post itself. But if y’all can’t pick up that kind of discrepancy on your own, there’s something rotting in the produce aisle. I have spoken. Get over it.
I don't want to get sidetracked into a discussion of a new participant's motives and identity. The degree-completion situation in the O.P. is interesting enough, where most of a degree was completed at one university, apart from a few troublesome classes. Many board readers probably can empathize, sharing a similar situation. Marcus (no, 'Marcus Aurelius' isn't his real name) has the right idea. Make applications to each of the "big 3" and submit transcripts. You might want to try Western Governors University too. Wait for their evaluations. That will tell you what additional work you need to do at each one. Look at what you have to complete, the nuts-and-bolts of how you can accomplish that, and what it will cost. Make your decision based on your own criteria. (Ours might be different.)
