Picking up where I left off
Hi! I have an Associates Degree in Administrative Office Technology. I got the degree at a technical college! The classes I took included, but aren't limited to:
-word processing
-office procedures
-principles of accounting 1 and 2
-document processing
Now I want to go back and get my Bachelor's Degree! What majors are there that I can transfer my Associate Degree classes to? (something having to do with office technology, word processing, etc.)

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
It depends on what type of college you received your associates from. A lot of colleges do not credit from business schools. The school you received your associates from has to be accredited. That means it has to meet certain standards by whatever state you live in in order for its' credits to transfered to another university.
I really don't know of any colleges where you would receive a BS in Office Technology (at least I don't know of any in NY). If the school you plan to attend accepts the credits from your technical college some of your courses can be accepted as "free electives." Some may be able to be substituted for some required courses. You must really sit down with an advisor to see what transfers over and what major best fits closer to what you want to do.
Good Luck - I hope that helps.

Darling, you need to research more.
I would seriously suggest first picking the schools or programs you are most interested in going to. THEN call those schools and figure out if and how many transfer credits you could get.
What kind of credits you can get for your associates degree differs from school to school, even if the bachelor degrees all have the same words on them in the end.
The general bachelor degree for students interested in business is Business Administration or Business Management but most universities offer specializations with in that like: Hospitality Management, Information Technology Management (that one sounds good right?) Retail Management and so and so forth.
No matter what credits you already have, a bachelor degree is going to cost you thousands of dollars so for goodness sake make sure you like the school and the program first. Even if it means you need to take a few extra courses, make sure you get a good education, not just a piece of paper.
As a place to start: Why not pick one program that you have heard good things about and call them and ask about credits? It doesnâ??t matter if you are really interested in that program or just so-so, you need to talk to them in person!The information for adult students is rarely just posted online because programs for people with previous education are rather individually tailored. Youâ??ll have to be a bit more proactive to get good, solid answers to your question about transfering credits.
