Degree desired: Associates degree (at this time), eventually BA
Current Regionally Accredited Credits: 32 (all in foreign language courses)
I am looking into obtaining an associates degree. I currently have 32 credits in foreign languages courses (100 and 200 level) at a community college where I have been going part time. I am now looking to take CLEP exams for whatever I am able to.
Regarding CLEP - My college grants credit for various CLEP exams. I was looking at the Pierpont BOG degree, but will these CLEP credits transfer over in the same way, or will I potentially get fewer credits based on the school's own CLEP policy? The same question applies for TESU.
Regarding the degrees themselves, are these degrees generally well received by employers, or are they viewed like some of the for profit online programs (Phoenix, Argosy, etc)?
At this point, I am looking to get any associates degree as this will help with employment prospects. Any suggestions are welcome!
