CCs that accepts out of country international students?

[nyvrem]

I'm from Singapore and have a 3-year bachelor's degree from Australia from 16 years ago which is not equivalent to a 4-year bachelor's degree in the US. I was thinking that since it's not recognized, I can probably do a 4-year US bachelor's degree online. I also have 2 - 3 classes from a US CC that can probably transfer into the prospective university.

I did some fiddling around with the WES free degree equivalency tool. It says a 3 year degree from Australia is equivalent to a bachelor's degree from the US.

You can play around with

Of course it's not firm, best to have your stuff officially evaluated.

Note that if you have a polytechnic diploma or GCE A levels - Those are worth college credits as well. A full A level cert (Ds and above) gets you around 24 credit hours (again, you'll need to get your stuff evaluated) Not sure how much you'll get from a poly diploma.

Also, just an FYI, you might find it a challenge to get employed in civil service using a HES degree. They actually know HES is a part time DL degree. 

If you're looking to enter IT, maybe you could consider the UMass second degree in IT program (I have a friend who graduated from James Cook who's doing it now. They accepted his 3 year psychology degree.)
