Experience does not count, but many of your 100 credits should be considered by Penn State for classes that deal with English & Writing, Humanities, Math and other general courses. That way you’ll have more time to focus on your Criminal Justice studies, rather than having to do it all over again. Contact the Criminal Justice department at Pennsylvania State University and they should get you started. Ask how many credits will transfer and how that will affect your degree completion time-frame. Good luck.

Sorry. I would like to get the degree in Criminal Justice at Penn State. I am currently a deputy sheriff with more then 10 years experience. Does that count towards any of the courses?

That should help, but you didn’t mention what you would like to study and if it would be at Penn State?

I have an associates degree from Penn State in Liberal Arts with more than 100 credits. Will this be a help in my continuing my degree pursuit?

I have been accepted in Penn State. online degree program, needless to say i am very happy, but i also have my doubts as too how will my online degree be looked at; although, it is from Penn State. I am told that my degree and transcript will be identical to those of the on campus students. I dont want to lie fear of an employer might finding out. Is it safe to be proud of earning an online degree from Penn State University? Is it worth the tuition ? Will my degree be just as respected because it has Penn states name on it ?

They might not -- check out the issue with Nationally and Regionally accredited schools.

Interested in taking online coarses in criminal justice. I do have previous college credits from Temple University Arts and Sciences. I am wondering if any transfer.

Hi Pete,

Just like Penn State, Temple University is a leader in Criminal Justice education. Temple University’s credits should transfer since it is a respected regionally accredited higher learning institution; specifically, the required courses like English, Math, and any non-core electives / courses. This is dependent on the guidelines the school imposes on transfer credits. Some schools have limits while others will shower you with transferred credit after transferred credit. I think Pennsylvania State University will scrutinize every course, but I feel that some of your courses will transfer. Otherwise you should consider the CLEP.

Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
