BOG degrees - cookderosa - 09-01-2017 I'm curious if anyone knows of a BOG degree that lets you use CLEP exams and or ACE credit as opposed to classes? RE: BOG degrees - bjcheung77 - 09-01-2017 For most of them: There's a need of 12 credits from a B&M school such as a community college. There's a set of courses that are required - 21 credits. General Arts/Sciences/English. 39 credits can be any course, I would highly recommend courses that will transfer to a BA/BS. Basically I emailed all 9 WV CC's and had a similar answer to this. RE: BOG degrees - dfrecore - 09-01-2017 Yes, they will take ACE credit. They took my ALEKS math courses for sure (I can't remember what else, but I know for certain those were in there). RE: BOG degrees - Joeman200 - 09-01-2017 Do any of them waive the B&M requirement?

She is the advisor that helped me work through the requirements to graduate the program, there. She said that the Credits required from a Regionally Accredited College, are not able to be waived. That is a key requirement of the program regardless of which WV school you use to get the degree. Sorry, sir. RE: BOG degrees - davewill - 09-01-2017 They shouldn't actually have to be butt-in-seat. I don't see why they can't be online courses from a local CC, Foothill, NMJC, or another regionally accredited institution. RE: BOG degrees - ChilliDawg - 09-01-2017 You are correct, Davewill. Online is perfectly fine. i should have specified. RE: BOG degrees - dfrecore - 09-01-2017 (09-01-2017, 02:39 PM)davewill Wrote: They shouldn't actually have to be butt-in-seat. I don't see why they can't be online courses from a local CC, Foothill, NMJC, or another regionally accredited institution. They just have to be from a RA school. I don't think anyone ever said they had to be butt-in-seat.

SUPER helpful, thank you BJ! RE: BOG degrees - cookderosa - 09-01-2017 So for those of you that have looked, are they all pretty much the same in terms of cost - is there one that is a clear winner? My friend has 30 credits - 15 from CLEP and 15 from a community college. I think this might be an option for her to finish inexpensively.

Dfrecore, that's awesome!! From our list of freebies, I know those are non-liberal arts electives, do you know if all 60 credits have to be liberal arts? Everything I'm reading says "General Elective" which is confusing to me. I'm guessing it means "General Education Elective?" Do you know by chance? |
