Have a Masters, can I transfer credit for BS?

[carrythenothing]

Thanks, glad to see the University address this in their website. However, forgive my low IQ , but I feel the last two bullets are a bit vague.
If I'm reading between the lines correctly,  the last two bullet points talks about "requirements" that can still be achieved using Credit Transfer, which may include credit coming from the Masters/High school degree.. Correct?

Basically, unless your master's degree is determined to be equivalent to an RA bachelor's degree for some reason, you'll have to fulfill all credit distribution requirements in the catalog.

Keep in mind you can transfer "a maximum of 30 semester hours for a baccalaureate degree and 15 semester hours for an associate degree of graduate credit" (I believe 4 UK credits is equivalent to 1 semester credit and 2 ECTS to 1 semester credit).

From that same page, note that there's also a maximum number of foreign credit hours: "90 semester hours for a baccalaureate degree and 45 semester hours for an associate degree." The minimum grade is a C for foreign credits.

I think there's a maximum you can bring in (why am I thinking 9cr??).

I'm going to contact TESU directly and ask them some questions:
1) if you have a master's w/o a bachelor's, does that waive your GE/Free Electives?
2) if not, how many credits can you bring in from your master's?

TESU will take D's for your GE (except English Comp), but not for the Major. So you could use Biology and Chemistry in the GE Natural Sciences area.  Not sure about the computer and math courses, it depends on what they are (for instance, if the math is Calc, then you can't bring that into the major, but since it's required, you can't use it in the GE for Quant Lit because it's a duplicate course; but if it's College Algebra, then you could use in the GE).

thanks! that would be very helpful ^_^

What I meant was, if I were you'd I'd be calling TESU directly to ask these questions.

thanks a lot man, very helpful

will do

Several members on the board have gone from Masters to Bachelors to Associates as they've gone the non-traditional route.  There's no shame in going back for a Bachelors, the BA Computer Science is a good option to select.  You'll just need to transfer everything in after an international evaluation has been completed (course by course) through one of the NACES members that are accepted.  You should expect most of your credits to hit the electives field... If you have energy, money, time, you may want to do a BSBA/BACS combo and throw in an extra Associates if you wanted.

indeed that is the plan, i've seen a couple of posts about BSA + CS combo. 

i'm thinking to add an Accounting certificate to that too, perhaps associate as you mentioned.

Yeah, but you should focus on one of the Bachelors degrees first. I would add the programs you want into the program list, but complete the BSBA CIS and then the BACS or vice versa, this way you can be done with a program if something else comes up in life... Again, you can add the Associates or Certificates and "forget them" as you work on the first degree, then come back to these as well.

I wonder could someone do one of ENEB's Masters degrees and have those hours count as part of the 24 credit hour requirement to finish up a Bachelors degree that was skipped.

Only if you can get one of their approved evaluators to recommend ENEB as regionally accredited

That's right, it may already work as ECE evaluated an ENEB Project Management as a 4 year Bachelors degree (or a honors/4th year or final year of the Bachelors - similar to how NARIC Belgium evaluated them as an advanced Bachelors). Depending on the courses coming in, it should "hit" the 24 credit requirement, if all of the courses are transferable into the degree...

so been doing more reading in the forums, and every day you learn something new, and makes the best choice a bit confusing.
wrong forum for this question, but it does build on this existing thread.

following the plan above, it seems like a good options. but does PUG accept Masters credit to cover the Open Electives sections?

Masters credit +  the W3 Certificate would cover a significant amount of the Degree.

some Pros and Cons when compared vs TESU BACS ,from my understanding:

Pros:

• Perhaps a better University name
  
• Much easier Topics, finishing them may potentially lead to a sustainable "rate" of  degree completion. 
  
• Calculus not required  ,  although a Sophia option now exists 
  
• Better academic advising/support?
  

Cons:

• May require 2-3 terms
  
• IT perhaps a weaker degree when compared to Computer Science
  
• I don't want to worry too much about the price, but i think it's around double
  
• I have better experience and passion towards programming subjects, which are not included in this degree
  
• rigid degree structure? cant substitute most subjects in Core and Major requirements (if I'm correct)
  
• better university name will not advance career by much. at the end of the day, it's just a BS degree
  
• excel program is probably easier and safer than examination,  but it seems you have to do 5-6 assignments per subject. and you need to take 8 subjects.  unless each assignment is 200-300 words, I think it would be too much to handle in parallel to a busy job and young toddler. 
  

 in glance TESU seems much better and flexible, but I guess it would be a good idea to study all available options.

From what I've heard of PUG, each assignment needs to be multiple pages (3-5 or more), so I definitely don't think it's the right degree for you.

I would suggest giving Sophia Calculus a try, though. If you can pass it, great. TESU. If you can't, take another look at PUG.

3-5 pages?? no kidding. Yup, no way I can manage that. 

I agree, I'll give PUG a pass. 

Sophia Calculus would be great if accepted by TESU, I know I can pass it if I dedicated proper time

thanks!
