RE: LawShelf.com Discussion - vetvso - 07-30-2022
I wonder where the Graduate classes would fall into. For example, would TESU MALS Learner-Designed Area of Study 12CR be covered by some of these? Other possible degrees maybe? I think I counted Graduate @ 9 CR - It would be a good cost savings

Doesn't really fall under liberal arts. You might have a better chance of transferring them into a business/management program at TESU (e.g., MS in Management).

A $24k generic master's degree from an unknown school isn't worth it. Saving $8k and "only" paying $16k is still not worth it. You can find a more useful degree at a better/more well-known school (or the same type of anonymity) for less almost anywhere.

You might want to refer to my thread on the graduate schools that accept the most transfer credits. Jonathan pointed out several schools that might be a good fit for transferring in graduate-level NCCRS/ACE credits. Below are the schools I can think of off the top of my head that might be a good fit for LawShelf courses.

RE: LawShelf.com Discussion - knaves - 07-31-2022
From my personal experience with these courses:
Liberty rejected all of them
Purdue accepted for 20 credits out of 55
APUS accepted for 9 out of 36.
Hope this is helpful for others.

This is getting into something interesting when it comes to law schools. Could a person potentially start out at Northwestern University School of Law, for the cheap tuition, and then switch to Purdue to utilize the LawShelf credits as electives? Both schools are CalBar accredited now, so it would really come down to how much the LawShelf classes would save.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming you were applying to an undergraduate program?
On a related note, Liberty University doesn't seem to be as transfer credit and alternative credit friendly as they claim to be. They'll reject a lot of courses if they don't include the Christian worldview even though you're not in one of their seminary programs.
RE: LawShelf.com Discussion - dfrecore - 08-02-2022
I still can't believe LawShelf, which is "a project of National Paralegal College" hasn't found a way to get these accepted at that school for at least 45cr!
