Hi,
I had some time off (laid off) this past summer I took courses at a local college, online courses and CLEP and was able to earn 30 credits, in about 4 months.
I just signed up at University of Phoenix (UOP) for the Associates of Arts in Technology\Database Development.
It was difficult decision because I am already banking credits with TESC and was hoping to complete my degree trought TESC. However, I need an Associates at the very least to backup my experience (17 years in IT, currently Director of a department). I need anything to back me up ASAP. This program goes in line with what my strength (reporting) and TESC doesn't have an associates in this particular subject.
I chose UOP because, I am working fulltime again and have 3 children. After joining the work force once more, it has been impossible for me to juggle work, kids, home, school. With TESC I have not been able to get anyone from TESC to truly explain anything to me (for example where do I take the classes I need to complete the degree? When I tried to register for classes with TESC my classes were not listed there.) I also realized that it will take me much longer to study for a CLEP now because I don't have the time to focus on self study, than it would be to take two classes simultaneously at UOP.
My question is this... When I initially signed up with UOP my original advisor told me UOP accepts ACE credits. However he resigned and now I have a new advisor who tells me they don't accept ACE what they do is prior learning assessments.
Has anyone had experience with UOP as far as learning assessments or transferring ACE credits?
