Schools that accept ACE credits and allow 90cr in transfer
#51
(01-11-2021, 07:34 PM)Pathfinder Wrote: I have been working towards my bachelors for COSC, but hearing about how generous the Sophia credits are accepted into UMPI, I am considering them also now!!!

At COSC:
I am looking at a General studies degree with a concentration in Psychology and business ....(I have 22 RA credits in gen eds and 27 Sophia credits as of right  now) OR....

At UMPI:
BA in English with a communications/journalism major or ....
liberal arts with an education minor

My question here would be ... Is it MORE BENEFICIAL to get a tradicional bachelors degree (although core courses are gained through alternative credits) or a competency  based degree ?

I am looking at my future options .  If i decide to go into teaching Is a competency based degree accepted?  If I go the traditional route at COSC will my core classes credit achieved  through alternative providers be an issue?

If I go on to get a masters in Psychology or teaching ... Is a traditional bachelors degree (with 30 total RA credits) or a competency based degree (with 50 - 70 RA total  credits) more desirable??  

Any advice Is appreciated!!

There is no benefit to a Traditional vs. Competency-based degree at all; future employers won't know that it's competency-based, as it does not say this on the degree anywhere.

The only difference I see is that you'll have more graded credit at UMPI than COSC, which might be an actual benefit down the road depending on whether or not you wanted to get into a grad program that this would matter.  It won't for some.
