come on
you know the original quote was about community colleges
not ACE

you can't compare the two at all

If nothing else, having ASU credits generally looks better on your transcript than some small local CC that almost nobody's ever heard of. Depending on what you're trying to do, even $400 per class is a bargain. I'm not knocking CCs at all; they're great and the quality of education can be the same or better than some big-name universities. But they just don't have the same name recognition and "authority" that big universities do.

Nobody cares where you took English Comp 101 at. Nobody.

And BTW - plenty of people have never heard of ASU.  We tend to assume that people know lots of schools, but they don't.  Most people know like 10-20, and generally they are big name Ivies, a few others, and a few locals.  Outside of that, they don't know and don't care.

ASU offers more than just English Comp. Duh.

And if you're trying to go to a school that isn't one of the big 3, having an alternate way to get at least some of your credits relatively cheaply without resorting to alternative forms of credit, like SDC, Saylor, etc. is important. 

Also, most schools care very much where you took English comp from or else everyone would accept ACE credits.

Let me revise my statement. 99% of schools do not care where you took your LL GE courses.  Not English Comp 101, not College Algebra, not Intro to Sociology, as long as it's graded from an RA school.

We were never discussing ACE/NCCRS credit here, and I was quoting you with the whole ASU is better than some CC.  Again, nobody cares.  Nobody is impressed with you taking Western Civ at ASU vs the local CC (and most state schools have transfer agreements with local CC's so they are actually probably happier if you take the course at the CC because they don't have to think about whether or not it will work - they know it does).  If it checks the box, it's fine. You don't get extra super duper bonus points from taking it at ASU.

Has anyone taken the Health and Wellness course? I couldn't find the syllabus and I was hoping someone could post it, send it to me, or let me know what types of assignments it has and how the final grade is determined. Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I took it.... 10 years ago.

Sorry I can't be of any help for its current iteration but I do remember that it wasn't very hard.

I signed up to take the course on a non-credit track (because why not) and there is still no syllabus available until at least next month (when the class begins).

This is probably as close as you're going to get (it's edX, but run by ASU), unless you get the instructor to mail you the actual syllabus: https://courses.edx.org/asset-v1:ASUx+EX...llabus.pdf I can't imagine that it's changed all that much in just a couple of years.

Here is the syllabus for a few of the courses. While these are a few years old, they don't change much.

I agree with that no one cares.

However, when I was looking to transfer over the years Ive noticed a ton of schools place a limit on CC credit that can be transferred in. Even TESU and COSC do.

Also ton of ton of schools (especially b&m for bachelors require 60 credits be from a 4 year university. It is one of the reasons I choose the school I did. It was the only b&m school I could find that did not have this requirement and all my credits were CC, clep and ace.

But Ive never heard of school limit the amount of credit from a four University unless it hits the residency requirement. Like a school you need to 30 with them but even then you can usually transfer in more than 90 like to double major or something as long as you do the 30.

For someone like me who has ton of CC credit taking more CC isn't helpful.

So that is why I said in another thread somewhere that 4 year graded credit is more likey to transfer than CC credit.

Yes, you are correct - for someone with a lot of CC credits and wanting to transfer to a school that limits those, you are certainly better off taking some courses from a 4yr when possible.  BUT, that's an entirely different scenario than we were discussing.

As for being more likely to transfer, you're probably wrong there.  The MOST LIKELY credits that will transfer are ones between CC's and 4yr schools with transfer agreements.  Those are going to be guaranteed.  There is definitely NOT a guarantee of transfer between two 4yr schools.

You are probably right. I guess I was just speaking from my own personal experience. (bus and math from cc wouldnt work but same coruses from uni would but long story on the business course)

And also the research ive done and the fact I ended up going to an out of state school.

But yes if you staying local or in the same state then CC would probably be better. I only speak from my own personal experience and findings which might not be the same if applied to other situations.

Oh and if you are lucky your state has site and shows how every single college in the state transfers 2 and 4 yr.

Also if you have articulation agreements use them. They sometimes "break" polices or limits on cc credit. Also statewide gen ed agreements and block transfers rock!

Is the course admision policy the same as for a bachelor? For a complete program i need a toefl or duolingo to enroll asu

I don't think so. It's "earned admissions" so you're not actually enrolling in ASU (yet). Not exactly. It's free to sign up, so you might as well try it and see what they say.
