Best AAS Options for Alternative Credits and Lowest Residency Requirements

[Ares]

I would look at the A.S. in Criminal Justice for $2099 from Ashworth College.

Ashworth College allows you to transfer 75% of the courses for their Associate Degrees (45 out of 60 credits). This means only 5 courses (15 credits) or one semester would need to be taken at Ashworth and you have 12 months to complete them.

This is far easier than UMPI which requires 10 courses (30 credits) and you only get 8 weeks to finish.

Granted this is a NA schools so transfer options are more limited for the 15 Ashworth credits but Excelsior should take them and they can always get their Bachelors in Criminal Justice at Ashworth too.
