What to do, What to do???:confused:>>
It's a bigger question. What will your undergrad degree do for you? What field do you hope to work in? Are you "mature" or a young person just starting out?
Generally speaking, unlimited CLEP is better than pulling credit in from BJU because CLEP is transferred to other RA schools- while the BJU (and a degree from AJU) won't be.
Credits earned from AJU will be JUST LIKE your credits from Bob Jones should you later decide to transfer again, or should you decide to get a master's degree, you will be in the exact same spot.
I'm not downing AJU, and I'm not downing BJU. Had you graduated from BJU, you wouldn't even know about RA/NA degrees....but this degree (for me) comes as an optional degree for my industry- and only after my RA undergrads. Much more to consider than transferring in your BJU classes. (I also have an NA degree of 63 credits that didn't transfer anywhere, I understand your frustration) Just think long and hard. Don't trade what you want right now for what you want in the long run.
