Thank you so much for your response! This was incredibly helpful. I probably would have to take another course to fill that elective. And I will definitely check out the online community college course option as I did find Phoenix to be expensive though the convenience of taking the courses online made it seem worth it. Thanks again for your help!

Hi, I'm interested in applying for the Fall 2014 Drexel ACE BSN program, but I have at least 8 prerequisite courses I need to take before then. Due to my full-time job, I think it would be a lot easier to fulfill these requirements through an online university, specifically University of Phoenix, even if it costs a little bit more money. The Drexel website says that they will accept credit from a university as long as it's accredited, but I am not sure exactly which courses they would accept. I'm also not sure of which of the courses that I've taken as an undergraduate will go towards the prerequisites. For example, I've taken a Contemporary Performance course that I'm not sure will fulfill the Public Speaking/Communications elective requirement. I've looked through this forum and all I can find are posts about people who have already or are waiting for acceptance letters from ACE, but nothing on prerequisites and how to know whether credits will transfer. I've reached out to the undergraduate office, but I have not received a response. Below are the courses offered by University of Phoenix that would be relevant. I feel like the second group would be transferrable but my only question is whether PSY280 or PSY375 would satisfy the developmental psychology requirement.

Emphasis is given to personality, social, intellectual, and physical development, and the major theories used to describe how people change throughout their life span. Human Growth & Development - psy280 (3 credits) This course is a study of the development of the individual from conception through adulthood. Theories and factual content underlying current thinking and research are examined, as well as the processes and influences affecting the developing person. The focus is on biological, social, emotional, and intellectual aspects across the lifespan, and individual application is emphasized. So here are my questions: 1. Will Drexel ACE accept credits from University of Phoenix? 2. Will they accept a Contemporary Performance course in Theater as a public speaking/communication elective? 3. How do I reach someone at Drexel to confirm all this? Is there a process where prospective applicants can confirm what is transferrable and what isn't? 4. From the courses above, would PSY280 or PSY375 satisfy the developmental psychology requirement? Thanks for your help!
