Has anyone taken these courses and had them transferred into EC or TESC? If so, at what level? And how much credit was awarded? At what college? For which program?

Peggy,

Berkleemusic is the online arm of the Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) which, according to the CHEA database, is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Assuming that you took your online courses with the 'for credit' option, both TESC and Excelsior will most likely accept all or most of your Berkleemusic credits (although they always reserve the right not to accept credits). Exactly which credits will transfer, at what level, and where they will be applied to your particular degree program will require an official evaluation from either of the schools.

Here is what Berkleemusic themselves have to say ont he issue of credit transfer.

As always, the credit-RECEIVING school has the final word.

Hope that helps,
Snazzlefrag

I haven't taken the courses yet. I'm mapping out my degree completion. I'm familiar already with Berklee College and am registered in Berkleemusic's database and am corresponding with their representatives, but I'm hoping to hear from some one who's actually gone this route.

Here's what Berklee College says about accepting their own Berklee.music courses BERKLEE | Berklee Today:


So they themselves will accept only two of their own courses, will award only two credits per each 3-credit course, and will apply them only toward general elctive requirements.

So I was hoping to hear from someone who actually went this route how EC or TESC applied these courses and see if they did better.

Like you say, I may just have to enroll (or apply?). I'll see which.

I took all the music classes you see in my signature via "credit-by-examination" (I showed up on finals day only and took the final exams--and one mid-term) from my local community college and received full lower-level credit for all in Humanities from EC. Based on the experience noted above and the general method as Snazz outlined, the odds are stacked in your favor. I love how Berkelee is prejudiced against their own program. Oh, the self-loathing!

It may be due to sheer embarassment for charging over $1,000 for a course called "Guitar Chords 101." Are you kidding me??? If you already have competency in some of the areas you are considering, I would strongly encourage you to explore other options. I paid $50 for my "Guitar 1" credits.
