I am currently taking collage classes in high school and will receive an AA degree by graduation. A simple google search does not give me a list. So far I’ve heard that universities in Washington and Texas accept them. If you know any other states that do this that would be great!
There is no all-encompassing list. You need to go college by college for the schools on your list.
As a general rule, your in-state public will more likely give credit than an OOS public or a private college.
also, by having an AA you now will apply as a transfer student instead of as a freshman, which may put out of the running for some schools. Talk to your GC about this.
@ProfessorPlum168 That’s not always true. At the university I attended, “You are a transfer student if you have attempted or completed 18 or more credits at another college or university after high school graduation.”
Dual enrollment college courses do not make you a transfer as long as you took these while in HS and you did not graduate @ProfessorPlum168. Still check with your GC.
My D goes to a private college and they took all her DE credits. Keep the syllibi available for all classes taken and also you will get a transcript from the CC to send to the college that you get accepted from. I think these days many colleges take the credit., not sure about the AA
It doesn’t sound like s/he took dual enrollment classes though. A lot of straight CC classes is my guess. I would find it hard to believe that any HS would offer enough DE classes to get an AA.
As @bodangles says, this is not necessarily true, and since the OP is in HS, is probably not that case for most, if not all, target colleges. As with everything, an applicant should verify application requirements in advance.
The first place I would look is the State Universities/Colleges in your State. They will accept the most credits and will be the most cost effective.
College courses taken before high school graduation typically do not force the student to apply as a transfer student (whether or not they are labeled as “dual enrollment”). Verify with each college to be applied to in order to be sure.
In terms of transfer credit, state universities are commonly more generous with giving credit toward the number of credits for graduation. However, subject credit and advanced placement is another matter entirely. A same-state state university may have an articulation agreement with your community college so that you can know what subject credit and advanced placement you will get. Otherwise, that determination may have to wait until you enroll at the college.
Private universities may be less willing to give credit toward the number of credits for graduation for college courses taken while in high school (or may have restrictions that limit the number of credits given). However, they may still allow for subject credit and advanced placement based on courses completed.
If you do go with the instate public college route: depending on how your school does DE, if you take the couses through one location within a university system and you end up attending a location in a different city (but still within that university system in your state) not only the credits transfer, but also the GPA.
