Best online college that takes past college/work experience into account?
Question:
My situation is a bit different.25 years in IT with progressive successes to executive level. I have two years at a community college (1980). I was told several years ago that the courses were too old (BAL programming etc) to transfer credits.
So, if I was to restart my education where would you recommend I look? I'd like to get as much "credit" for my IT/business experience and past college courses.
Thanks!
Look into an Executive MBA program as opposed to earning an online undergraduate degree. They are for working executives and will provide you with a strong advanced degree without requiring any particular previous college experience. You'll have a hard time getting any credit, but you'll get an MBA instead of an undergraduate degree, and an MBA is a much bigger influence on salary and job opportunities once you've already established yourself in the workplace.
I currently attend Touro University International. I am in the military and have limited time to go to school so I've been taking classes online at this university. I don't know if they would transfer classes that are so old but they do evaluate experience to a degree. I don't have as much experience as you do but I did have some credits transferred for my degree. Hope this helps.
