Have any Penn Foster College students here used their credits or degrees to transfer to another school and study for a bachelor degree?  If so, which school did you transfer to?  Did the schools accept the entire degree, or just some of the credits.  Your thoughts and comments are appreciated!

tcord1964's question is actually what I have been searching for, although I am not a Penn Foster student, yet!  I am thinking about getting a business degree from Penn Foster, but I don't just want an Associates degree, I want a Bachelors degree.  I know it would be easier to go to the same college to get both, but it seems that a lot of people have a lot of good thinks to say about Penn Foster.  You can't bet the tuition either, but if I am going to spend the time and money, I want to make sure that their credits will transfer to a lot of other schools, especially those within the same price range as Penn Foster. 

 

Why doesn’t Penn Foster offer BA Degrees?

According to a press release issued by Penn Foster a few months ago, they plan to acquire or partner with another college to offer bachelors and masters degrees.

Currently, Mountain State University in West Virginia has an agreement with Penn Foster College in which they will accept an entire associates degree from PFC to transfer into one of their bachelors degree programs.  Mountain State does offer a few online degrees.  There are also other regionally accredited colleges which will accept credits and degrees from PFC, including, but not limited to:  Bellevue University, Western Governors University, American Military University/American Public University, Upper Iowa University, University of Phoenix, Kaplan University and Peru State College. 

It seems like Penn Foster is popular for their $75 CLEP exams, a quick search turns up quite a few hits so apparently they carry weight in the online college community.
