Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster here looking for clarification and advise. I'm looking to finish my BA in communications, but I am not opposed to a professional studies, liberal arts, or general studies bachelors, and could go either way BA or BS (I prefer BA- but have no foreign lang). I've reached the end of the interwebz researching for the right program - online, with max transfer credit, low residency policies, and am more confused than ever.
I'm 49, just finished my AA in social/behavioral sciences at a regionally accredited community college. I have 90 credits from a regionally accredited community college - NONE are upper level. State of CA ( IGETC and CSU transfer general ed breadth) is complete.
Questions:
I am assuming RA credits are credits taken from a regionally accredited college? please confirm or clarify.
In the case of the big three, is there a place I can look at upper level requirements? residency reqs? I think I saw that Excelsior only reqs 7 units.
Does that mean that the remaining 23 credits ( in the case of Excelsior) could be taken through alternate sources (sophia or straighterline, etc?)
I do have ACE credits from a marketing program certification program about 10 years ago that are put forward as CEUs. They are recommended for 9 LL- credits. I've worked in communications for about 25 years (15 years at a director level), so I am open to PLA, but don't have any "documentation" of outside training, since I'm usually the one LEADING the training.
Friends.... please help! I'm so close and want to finish this degree! THANK YOU in advance!
