Around 2012 and 2013, a few people on here stated that they got their MA in Professional Development degree from Amberton University and were able to transfer in some graduate credit they earned from taking VESis from Morningside College.
It's been a couple years since anyone's posted about any possible changes or if this option of cheap graduate credit can still transfer to Amberton.
So I'm just letting you know first hand that you CAN still transfer VESi-graduate credits to Amberton to reach the 12 maximum allowable graduate transfer credits before you begin.
Not only did I get an advisor to attest to this plan via email, but I got an approval letter from Amberton stating they accepted a 3-credit course I took via VESis through Augustana.
I took a 3-credit course as a guinea pig just to make sure Amberton WOULD still accept them before I took all 12 credits all at once.
So now that they've officially accepted that 3-credit course, I just gotta finish up the other 9 credits I'm signed up for and then I will send those in as well and then I will enroll.
As a sidenote, I don't know if any other school will work for transfer. I just know Augustana worked. I believe Morningside will still work but that particular college requires case studies and additional paperwork for their VESi courses that you don't have to do at Augustana.
Another sidenote: do NOT take any 2-credit courses. They do NOT accept those, even if you take 3 of them for 6 total credits. They only want 3 credit courses. So just take FOUR 3-credit courses.
I recommend:
Learning Disabilities
Understanding Aggression
WHY DI?
Try DI
I recommend those because the DI courses are interrelated so it might make it easier when you take the 2nd DI course versus branching out to a whole new other subject. Also, the other courses offer a lot to write about for journal summaries. Plus they are very interesting and doable . It's hard to find interesting and scholarly journal articles about the subject of "Reading" than it is about Aggressive Behavior. And also, some of the other 3-credit courses (like Behavior is Language) requires more graded schoolwork than the usual 4 exams, 4 CTQs, and 3 journal summaries.
So stick with those 4 that I listed and you'll be fine. You could easily do any one of those courses in two weeks if you just worked an hour a day on 'em. You could potentially do a whole course in one day if you did nothing else from morning to evening, but it's not necessary since VESi won't even accept the completed course until after two weeks of first ordering the course. But you CAN finish early if you want to.
Do those courses for a total of $1140 ($285 x 4) which is about the cost or LESS of any 3-credit course you could take anywhere else, and you'll be 1/3 of your way done with a 36-credit master's at Amberton!
So just in case anyone was curious as to whether Amberton still accepts the graduate courses offered by VESi through Augustana University, I'm here to tell ya that they DO.
