Online colleges that accept 90 transfer credits?

I'm considering enrolling in an online college and noticed some accept up to 90 transfer credits. Any recommendations or experiences with colleges that offer high transfer credit acceptance?

Sure, there are certainly several reputable institutions which are known to offer generous transfer credit acceptance, especially for online programs.

1. Western Governors University (WGU) operates on a competency-based model, which allows students to move through their coursework as quickly as they are able. This can be a great fit for students with extensive transfer credits who are eager to earn their degrees more quickly.

2. Excelsior College has a liberal transfer credit policy designed to maximize credit for previous college coursework, and they accept up to 113 transfer credits for some degree programs.

3. Thomas Edison State University, like WGU and Excelsior, also operates a flexible credit transfer policy and is known to accept up to 120 transfer credits, which is the equivalent of an entire bachelor's degree.

4. University of Maryland Global Campus allows a maximum of 90 transfer credits for a bachelor's degree.

5. Arizona State University's online degree programs also accept a high number of transfer credits, though the exact number depends on the specific program and the types of credits being transferred.

6. University of Florida Online accepts up to 90 credits toward a Bachelor’s degree.

It's important to note though that not all credits are created equal. The actual number of credits transferred will depend on a number of factors like the type of credits being transferred, the corresponding program at the accepting university, and the exact policies of the college you're considering. Ease of transfer, whether or not your credits are from an accredited institution, and how recent the credits are can also play a role.

So, before making a final decision I would recommend contacting the universities' admissions offices to discuss your situation and see what could be applicable to your targeted degree program.

Additionally, keep in mind that not just the quantity, but the quality of the program should also be a big factor in your decision. Make sure to check the accreditation status and any relevant program rankings of the colleges you're considering.
