University of Phoenix Credits Transferable to a state college?

I have been a University of Phoenix student for almost two years now and have earned almost 40 credits. Are these Credits transferable to a state college? I want to go into A Didactic Program in Dietetics and University of Phoenix is not an accredited university approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. University of California, Berkeley is credited by the ACEND, enrollment for this program takes 43 credits but I don’t know if the credits I have earned with UOP are transferable. HELP!

I need to get out of UOP, My Student loans are 20k from this University allready!

 

Thank you Steve, UOP best fit my work circumstances and schedule two years ago, I was laid off last month and want to go back to a state college and change Professions.

I'll take your advice and contact admissions.

 

There have been numerous concerns about for-profit schools promoting unaccredited nutrition or dietetics programs. ACEND posts a list of unaccredited schools that do not qualify for registration exams, which includes the University of Phoenix.

Berkeley may have a relatively selective program, and if that's the case, it may be difficult to transfer there from UoP. One alternative might be the accredited online program at Eastern Michigan University, which apparently gets a lot of former for-profit students:

Kaplan University used to pay big bucks to Google to ensure that its name popped up when anyone did a search for "registered dietitian" -- even though the Kaplan program was unaccredited and did not qualify its graduates to take the registered dietitian exam.

 

This is why I love it here. Where else would someone know this? Nice work Caldog!

 

Unfortunately, this is a situation involving professional accreditation (ACEND), as well as regional accreditation. An ACEND-accredited program may be limited in its ability to accept non-ACEND credits, even if they are RA.
