What if my Degree contains too many Transfered Credits from Sophia etc.?

Does it make a difference for the future school?

Imagine, 90 of your credits were transfered from other places like study.com or sophia. While you have only finished 30 of credits as in residency.  (Bachelor's degree).

Would that make a difference (make it more difficult), to be accepted to a Master's program at a different University ? Since many Universities require you to have a Bachelor's degree as a prerequisite?


Two more questions: 

If you want to attend a Computer Science Master's degree,  but you have your Bachelor's degree from a different field and it is not even a 3-4 years degree but rather a 12 Month degree?


I may be at a totally wrong place to ask that, but does anyone know how a 12 Months BABA Degree from UMPI is recognized in Canada?  It seems like I can not choose 12 Months in (https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-e...ol/poe.asp  ) the Degree Equivalency Tool. Since the lowest duration for a Bachelor's degree that you can chose is only 3 years long? Specifically it's about recognition in Canada. 

And will UMPI ever offer affordable Master's degree programs? Big Grin

Thank you

I don't think most schools will worry too much that you have a lot of ACE credits. However, I will note that they may care about the grades you got on those credits. One of the grad schools I applied to (the one I ended up choosing) required I send graded transcripts from Study.com so they could calculate my overall GPA, and I had 84 graded college credits on my transcript. So, if you want to go to grad school, you may want to try to do more than a minimal pass on Study.com and Sophia credits. That said, I applied to three state schools and only one of those three made that request.
