Hey everyone. I am looking into going back to school and getting my BA and teaching in NC. I am looking for the best school that accepts prior credits and hopefully give credit for past job experience. I have 4 associate degrees (General Studies, Information Systems Technology, Instructional Technology and Industrial Security). I have been doing training for over 20 years. If anyone has any advice on some good online schools please let me know. I need to get started before my VA benefits run out.

MSgt Roger Younce Get a BA or BS and focus on a local school that has the fast path to the teacher license/cert for NC. Ask teachers and administrators in the schools you wish to teach in where they hire from. Go to the school that provides max credit for you experiences and prior credits but also is connected via the local school system.
Good luck.

If you are looking at getting into teaching, I can't vouch for every school district but you're going to need (and want) to go in-class, not online. The classroom environment and interaction is even more important when you're going to be a teacher. My only caveat to that is if you are looking to teach on-line as well.
As far as accepting credits for life experience and military training, every school is VERY different so it's hard to recommend one. There are usually offices for Veteran Affairs at major colleges (and a lot of community colleges now). I recommend checking with those for local schools first.

MSgt Roger Younce looks like they actually have a pretty decent VA department. If nothing else I'd check out the site and/or give them a call.
