Thanks for the replies!
Most of my classes were taken at nationally accredited Universities in Scotland two of which would give 12 credits towards a year of study hence my translating that as 30/12 = 2.5 credits. The IT courses were all taken over 10 years ago, so I don't believe they could be counted towards an IT degree today and all of my classes were taken in the first 2 years of any school I was at - so none of them would be considered upper level.
Unfortunately the fact that I have to get my transcripts from overseas and then have them evaluated by WES means that I am adding at least $300 onto my application fee, so I am hoping to get as much planned as I can before pulling the trigger. I am enrolled locally at Franklin University, but they are accepting so few of my credits that I got online and found this site.
Looking at it in more depth I think I could tentatively apply the following:
Written English Requirement
_____________ 6.00
Humanities
French 4.00
Communication 2.50
______________ 2.50
Social Sciences/History
Economics 4.00
______________ 5.00
Natural Sciences/Mathematics
Math, Statistics & IT 4.00
Chemistry Lab Techniques 2.50
Computer Architecture 2.50
Capstone
________________ 3.00
Additional Arts & Sciences Electives
Art Workshop 2.50
IT Classes above 21.50
Applied Professional Credits
Other classes above 29.25
_______________ 29.75
I work as a Business Analyst in the insurance industry just now, but really don't know what I would be interested in studying. I just feel like every job posting today requires a Bachelor's Degree and I do not want that being the only thing holding me back from getting my foot in the door somewhere - even although like most on here my work experience and skills should be the most relevant qualifications.
Thanks all!
Steven
