Associates degree in Business - Options?

[allen3373]

Hi everyone, I have done a lot of reading and find I have questions I just can't answer.

I have been looking at Excelsior's Associate's in Business as a starting point. I have 40 quarter credit as a local community college, but 15 of those are paralegal credits, which I am not going to be pursuing. If my understanding is correct, they should transfer to Excelsior as Elective credits. Am I correct?

Also, I am a little confused with the transferring of quarter credits to semester credits in general. For instance, Excelsior requires 3 credit for written English. I have taken WR 121 worth 4 quarter credits. With the conversion, it should be worth 2.66 cr. How does that work when you transfer? Will they wave the last .34 credits? I just don't know.

As far as the 'options' in the subject line, I am open to help. I will put a list of my classes below:

Chemeketa Community College

Sign Lang. 103: 4cr.

Portland Community College:

Writing 121: 4cr
Beg. MS Word: 3cr
Beg. MS Excel: 3cr
Beg. MS Access: 3cr
MS Outlook: 1 cr
Everyday Chemistry: 4cr
Music Cultures: 3cr

Paralegal classes at PCC:
Intro. to Law: 3 cr
Substantive Law: 3cr
Techniques of Interview: 3cr
Litigation: 3cr
Legal Research: 3cr


I have two weeks to take the Intro to Psychology CLEP, which I am going to try to cram to do.

Basically, what should I do? I don't want to loose the credits for the Paralegal classes!
