Graduate Schools that accept the most transfer credits

[bjcheung77]

Westcliff is just one example partnership, there are a handful of them, all in the business subject area, and that's just one US institution. There are other UK institutions, it really depends on what level 8 UK diploma and progression you're looking at and looking for. Example, you do OTHM Level 8 UK diploma, it has a progression link to the partnership UK top-up doctorate degree... I've written about this before, I would review the posts in the threads by doing a search.

I can't find a UK MBA top up degree program that accepts the level 7 diploma and is accredited by either AMBA, EQUIS or AACSB? Am I missing something?

Dundee, Portsmouth, and Open University are AACSB

Thanks for the information. Do you know which Level 7 diploma(s) they accept?

Portsmouth: "This qualification is typically a 60-credit follow-on from a Postgraduate Diploma, such as our Senior Leadership (Senior Leader Apprenticeship) (PgDiP). We also welcome applicants with equivalent qualifications from other institutions."

Dundee: "Higher education qualification
Equivalent of a UK Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip)

Your qualification should be in Leadership and Strategy, Business Management, or a relevant subject. Alternatively, a relevant masters level degree will be considered.
You will also need two years of relevant work experience.

Open U: looks like they only take 30 credits as transfer (180 credits is pretty much standard across all British MBA's; a PGDip is 120)

I believe other UK Universities will do a course-by-course evaluation of a PGDip and credit various amounts as high as 120 credits at their discretion; Portsmouth and Dundee were the only AACSB Universities I was aware of that have an explicit "top up" route that accepts a PGDip as its entry credential.

There are also non-AACSB universities in the UK that will accept a PGDip to enter the "top-up" phase.  I would go to here if you want to dig further: https://www.prospects.ac.uk/postgraduate...d=top%20up

Nexford University (NA DEAC) “Learners may transfer up to 60% of the credits required for a master's degree with a combination of transfer credit and experiential or equivalent credit.” B or higher, 10 year recency.

I understand that learners may transfer up to 60 percent of the credits required for a master’s degree through a combination of transfer credit and experiential or equivalent credit, as long as the coursework was completed with a grade of B or higher and within the past ten years.

Does Nexford currently offer Online Distance Education scholarships? Is a graduate business degree required for all of the master’s programs, or only for the Master of Business Administration? If someone is able to transfer the maximum of sixty graduate credits, is it possible to complete the program within a single academic term?

See the Scholarships page in the Nexford catalog.

If their undergraduate degree is not in a related field, a student may take foundation courses to become eligible for the MBA, MSDA, or MSDT. The MS in Entrepreneurship is open to entrants with a bachelor's in any field. See the Admissions page.

It is not possible to complete a Nexford degree in a single academic term, because Nexford caps the number of courses taken per term. See the Course Load policy on the Academic Progression page.

William Paterson University: A maximum of 49% of a graduate degree may be satisfied by transfer credit. 6 year recency, B grade minimum, individual programs may set lower maximums.

Nexford does have appeal, as it is affordable, but today I received an email stating that because of the state I reside in, I cannot take their program. Does anyone have any insight into what causes a DEAC-accredited school to have so much trouble admitting students from certain US states? I think Nexford gets most of its students from abroad who want a US degree.
