Can we create a list of ALL regionally accredited universities that offer college credit for credential evaluations?
I know COSC does and I think TESC does as well. I am in the process of writing an article for a publication and I wanted to include this information. If you provide information and you want to PM me your name, I can include you as a contributor to the article I'm writing. It's not for anything major, just a bar association publication.
Thanks!

COSC will review any credential you have for credit.

I should have phrased my question better. I just re-read it and it didn't get across what I was asking at all.
Are you interested in schools that evaluate a particular credential or interested in schools that will evaluate atleast one type of credential.

I am interested in schools that will evaluate credentials as a general rule to determine credit. In my case the credential is certified paralegal but that doesn't have to be the only one. I want to both help this board and help my audience.

I believe TESC has the most available credits for specific credentials than any other institution. In fact, most of their BS in Applied Science and Technology (BSAST) degrees are based on one having a credential in that field. E.g. My friend is a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) obtained by examination after the completion of a non-regionally accredited degree from a Respiratory Therapist Association accredited college. At TESC he is able to pursue a BSAST in Respiratory Therapy. He received 39 professional Area of Study (AOS) credits out of 45 required from TESC. This with 60 credits of Gen Ed and 15 Electives - with some specific to BSAST RRT - yield the 120 credits required for a regionally accredited bachelor's degree. COSC would only give his credential 12 free elective credits toward their BS Health Science or General Studies, EC would give him 15 free electives in any of their BA or BS degree programs. Also note that both TESC and EC have specialized programs to award a BS Nursing degree to credentialed RNs, LPNs, an LVNs.
