transfer credits after a degree is conferred? - CM1999 - 08-15-2017
OK I'm super ignorant how things go...so bear with me.
I have a couple friends that I work with who have bachelors degrees but, in order to progress in our organization, they need a degree in something like psychology.
Can they transfer the credits from their original school to TESU or COSC and then do the psych course (and anything else missing) and get a psch degree ---without having to start over and take all those Gen Ed and Electives again?

Yes, they can. Here's the scoop:

Yes, if the credits are from RA schools.

There may be some additional credits that have to be taken in the Gen Ed Area, if TESU doesn't bring it in as a block transfer (meaning all Gen Eds are satisfied and you just need the 24cr in the Major/AOS).
I would also have them look into Patten and Capella FlexPath competency-based Psych degrees, as well as EC and COSC.
Please don't narrow the path to just one school at this point - the only time I would do that is if someone had very few (or zero) credits. There are just too many variables once you come in with more than 120cr.
I worked out a plan for a friend, and she only had to take 3 courses at EC to finish up her CJ degree, vs. 8-12 at TESU & COSC. I'm glad I looked at all of them, because the cost difference was tremendous.
