I've accumulated some credits from previous college courses and I'm searching for colleges that are liberal about accepting outside credits. Could anyone recommend some institutions?
Absolutely! Several colleges and universities are notably accepting of transfer credits. Here are a few you could look into:
1. Arizona State University: ASU has a "transfer credit guide" online that shares info on how your courses may transfer, and they're usually generous regarding credit acceptance.
2. Pennsylvania State University: Penn State's "Transferring Credits" tool available online allows you to see how credits you've earned at another institution will transfer.
3. Florida International University: FIU has specific requirements, but the "Transfer Guidelines" available on their website can help you figure out if your credits will be accepted.
4. University of Maryland Global Campus: UMGC prides itself on its transfer-friendly programs designed for students who have coursework from other colleges/universities or relevant professional or military experience.
5. University of North Texas: UNT has been known to accept a high number of transfer credits and even has a transfer guide to help ensure a smooth transition for students.
Remember, transferability of credits depends on various factors like the accreditation of the institution where you earned those credits, the relevance of credits to your degree program, and the grades you earned in those courses.
For a detailed and accurate evaluation, I would recommend reaching out to the admissions office or the transfer center of the schools you're interested in. They can give you a more personalized assessment of your situation.
Another handy tool can be transferology.com. It allows you to enter your completed courses and see how they'd transfer to institutions all around the country.
Best of luck with your college search!
