The reason is that the associates should be free on route to the bachelors degree when you complete the requirements for the bachelors. TESU is a great option for this, but for cost, ease, speed, UMPI and UoPeople are now better options...
I transferred 90 credits over to UoPeople for Bachelors, but was never able to process the associates, because they had a random course that I did not fulfill the requirement for, even though it was an option for transfer on my transcript. They just never used that one (Personal Finance), so I always assumed it was because you cant transfer in 100% of the degree. I also already had the Pierpont Associates, so it really didnt matter to me.
On a side note, Tohono O'odham Community College got back to me and they DO NOT accept ACE credits from Sophia or any other outside source. This is a total bummer, because it would have been a great option for people.
TOOC is exceptionally cheap however at $34.25 per-credit. Seeing your academic history in your signature block, missing courses shouldn't be a huge issue, even if they don't take the courses you did on Sophia. If you're just looking for some courses to do and a degree to accomplish, I find TOOC to be a great option for people.
