I would like advice on two things.
1) I have been led to believe that Liberty will accept classes for transfer, but only at the same level of study... Bachelors credits only can be applied to a Liberty bachelor's, masters credits can only go toward a Liberty masters, and only doctoral credits can be applied toward a doctorate at Liberty.
Can anyone confirm?
I was thinking if they would take my MS in Public Safety, I could cut a chunk out of a DPA or PhD in Public Policy...My goal is to earn a doctorate for less than 25,000 total. (paying out of pocket).
Of course if they won't accept a MS towards a DPA or PhD then it would defeat my goal.
Question 2)
On another thread someone said that if you take a class through Sophia, you can get a 15 percent discount at Liberty, and "stack" that with the first responder discount.
Can someone expand in detail about the Sophia program/discount and how it can stack with the first responder discount. I have never heard of a college allowing discount programs to "stack".
-Thank you all for your help.
I'm the someone who reported on the discount stacking at Liberty. Sorry I didn't see this post when it was made, as I was focused on the undergraduate forums. The easiest way I know to qualify for the 25% First Responder discount is to join the Civil Air Patrol. When I was a member dues were $79 per year. They now perform an FBI background check which requires fingerprints. You will have to attend at least two meetings. I am uncertain if Liberty credits the Sophia discount to grad school.

Yes, thus the reason I mentioned a level 8 UK diploma for transfer. As always, you want to make sure by verifying with the institution.
Edit to add, there may be more links on the board: Here's an example link I forgot to add, where I prompt people to get a Level 8 and ladder to a DBA, DProf from a US/UK institution https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Questions
Do you know of any specific US grad schools that accept the Level 7 for Masters or Level 8 for Doctorate?
How does one determine the quality of the Level 7/8 program?
If you hope to matriculate into a British university, how do you know which university accepts which Level 7/8?
What are the best British universities that accept the Level 7/8?
Thank you
