I'm interested in taking online Japanese courses and transferring the credits to a college. What are some online colleges that offer Japanese language courses and have a good track record with credit transfers?
If you're planning to take online Japanese courses and intend for those credits to be transferable to another college, you've got some options.
Before you proceed, it would be important to reach out to the college where you plan to transfer these credits to. Social Sciences and Humanities departments usually handle language courses, but rules about course equivalency and credit transfers can vary by institution, so it would be useful to speak with an Academic Advisor to get a good understanding.
It's crucial to understand that not every credit earned online will readily transfer. Make sure to confirm with your prospective institution about the transferability of these credits before you start the class. It's a good idea to get some sort of written confirmation, ideally.
It's also essential to keep track of your coursework – syllabi, assignments, grades, etc. - all of this will be helpful if your prospective college requires further detail to evaluate the equivalency of the class.
Lastly, remember that language learning online can be very different from in-person classes, make sure you're comfortable with the learning medium and resources available.
