Newbie Canadian looking for advice - where to get liberal arts degrees?
#13
Cdnbackpacker Wrote:Sorry, I did miss your previous post,* I thought that I read somewhere it was difficult to transfer university credits to the big 3 and that they mainly took regionally accredited college courses.

*I attended the University of Winnipeg and got credit for

1000 level Intro German 6 credits
1000 War and peace in history 6 credits
2000 History of Africa 6 credits
1000 Academic writing 3 credits
1000 cultural anthropology
3000 Ancient Greek warfare 3 credits

**I think I have decided on TESU because I can get a fairly cheap history degree, and I like that it has university in the name instead of college (perhaps it will look better for teaching abroad)
Does anyone have any advice or opinions?

Thank you all for your help, I appreciate it (and this forum) so much. This is absolutely incredible and life changing. I have been stressing about university for years and for the first time feel truly optimistic.

I think your first step should be getting your credits evaluated. Once you have done that, then we can tell you how the courses will apply to a BA in History at TESU (or wherever you choose to go).

While you're waiting for that, you should start on the courses/exams that you want to take for the remaining credits. Are you able to get to a CLEP/DSST testing center? If not, then you'll want to do Straighterline or Study.com for most of your credits, but that should be fairly easy. There may be a few credits that will be more expensive to do, so you'll have to find those courses. But it's pretty doable.

FYI, if you'd rather get an English degree, I think you can test out of that more easily than a History degree. And a Liberal Studies degree for sure is able to be completely tested out of.
