Can Engineering Credits Transfer to an Online Degree Program?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the transferability of engineering credits to online degree programs, specifically for a user with 85 hours of Colorado School of Mines engineering core classes and 19 hours from the University of Utah. The user seeks an online program that allows for quick graduation and flexibility in course selection. Recommendations include considering CU-Denver for its night and online classes, which cater to non-traditional students, as well as exploring general studies programs at institutions like the University of North Dakota (UND).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of credit transfer policies in higher education
  • Familiarity with online degree programs and their requirements
  • Knowledge of non-traditional student options in universities
  • Awareness of engineering core class structures and their relevance
NEXT STEPS
  • Research CU-Denver's online and night class offerings for engineering degrees
  • Investigate the general studies program at the University of North Dakota (UND)
  • Contact academic counselors at potential online schools for credit transfer evaluations
  • Explore self-paced online degree programs that accept transfer credits
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for prospective online students, particularly those with existing engineering credits, non-traditional learners seeking flexible education options, and individuals aiming to expedite their degree completion while balancing job commitments.

Is there anything engineering credits can count towards? I have 85 hours of Colo Mines Engineering core classes; none major specific. I also have 19 hours through University of Utah through NOLS; most of which are at the 300 level (see below).

I have everything I need right now-ideal job offer, etc. Mines will take 3+ years to graduate since I struggle with the math so much. And that job may be gone by then. However, my credit doesn't appear to transfer anywhere. I want to transfer into an online school and just get this done with; any suggestions? Contact info of a counselor would be great. General studies at places like UND are my only hit so far.

Priorities are:

1) Graduate quickly (takes credit, online, self-paced, etc)

2) Freedom to take what I'm interested in

Thanks!

If you already have the job you want then maybe you can finish your degree part time at night. I know Mines fairly well and I know that probably won't fly there but CU-Denver might work well for your situation. There are many night and online classes there to cater to non-traditional students. Good luck.
