Found this, and thought it was too neat not to share.


It appears to be a master list of internal codes from where they've evaluated external training, and approved it for various credit. There is a TON of New Jersey law enforcement related stuff in there.

Also, I found this:

MAACST495 2012-2018 - Judaic Stds Capstone-USE 4855
Description temporarily unavailable
Minimum Grade:CR

and

MAACST496 2013-2018 - Capstone-Online USE 4855
Description temporarily unavailable /
Minimum Grade:CR


May transfer to Thomas Edison State University as:

LIB 495 - Liberal Arts Capstone
Provides engagement in a student-centered, content-related learning experience that serves as a summary and synthesis of courses in a student?s undergraduate academic career. Students select an area of interest related to their academic studies and engage in an activity leading to a research project, creative project, or applied project reflective of comprehensive knowledge gained in undergraduate studies and demonstrate their knowledge of the outcomes of the Bachelor of Arts degree. A Capstone presentation and paper culminate the course. Students cannot earn credit for both LIB-495 and HLS-498
Credits:3.00

interesting. I didn't think they were allowing anything besides their own capstone for Liberal Arts?


Anyway, the page is: Transferring Credit at Thomas Edison State University


Scroll down, but then click "Course Equivalencies".

I spent a bit of time sifting through it in hopes I could find some more credit, but was largely unsuccessful.

They changed the rules about transferring in capstone credits. You still have to take it with them.

It's kind of irritating, come to think of it. That's a public-facing page which I've found several times linked directly from their Admissions homepage, yet it isn't up-to-date.

It is irritating but they do it all the time...even right now there are courses being downgraded and the transfer list is not up-to-date. I'm specifically thinking about study.com but there are others too. They have accepted some courses from certain places and then stopped accepting those later with no warning. Considering they are one of the few colleges who take so many alternative credits and those credits are really cheap, I guess I can't complain too much.

Just checked that site... totally out of curiosity.

There must be over a hundred courses listed there. What is this list? Just a guide for how credits transfer in?

I noticed credits for CPA license - does that mean anything?

Just wondering.

I saw those, too. Most places require you to have a degree, accounting prereqs, 150 units, and work experience to become a CPA. I suppose someone who REALLY liked tests could use the CPA exam as a "test-out" option for the AOS in an accounting degree. Of course, you'd still have to take the courses "for real" to actually become a CPA, but if you just want an accounting job, it might work.

It's a lot to learn on your own and it's not cheap ($800 or so), either.

So, theoretically, if I pass the CPA exam I can use the passes for 12 credits towards the 150 credit requirement? I think I'm going to call them on Monday and ask. I don't know if I would save money or time, because technically, you need to have a degree to sit for the CPA, so those credits would come in after the degree... But I'm curious.

How and where did you find that? Even when I search under "Cisco" or "CompTIA", I'm not getting any Cisco or CompTIA certifications listed.
