Is there an online school that will accept an associates degree in Hospitality?

Its from Keiser University... I don't feel like my spouse should pay for any part of his associates degree over again.

    Since Keiser does have regional accreditation, its credits should, at least in the theory, be accepted by most other colleges and universities. However, I've never heard of an on-line hospitality program that transfers anywhere very well. Hospitality programs are usually taught in-person because there is so much learning that *must* be done hands-on in order for it to be done well. Most on-line degrees in that field aren't viewed very well by employers, so it might not make a lot of sense to invest money in another on-line degree when he could do one in-person.

    The only reputable colleges with which I am familiar that offers an on-line hospitality degree are the New England Culinary Institute -- which itself even says that hands-on learning in the field is best -- and Johnson & Wales University. Just because they offer on-line degrees, however, does not automatically mean they are going to accept credits from Keiser. If they view the Keiser courses to be too easy, for example, or if they find that he didn't do enough in-person work through internships and other avenues, they're not going to honors those credits.

    Finally, it is normal for virtually all students, whether they got a degree on-line or from a prestigious private college, to lose some credits in the transfer process. It's unreasonable to think that he won't need to repeat some work, since virtually no transfer student has that luxury. I wish him luck, however.

    If Keiser is a regionally accredited university, you should be able to transfer your lower division credits to another accredited university. I am asking regarding your spouse not having to pay for an associated degree again unless he owes money to the school he previously attended. If this is the case, he will not be able to get transcripts to validate his associate degree.

    Yes, Keiser university will be able to gladly transfer credits as far as my knowledge goes. Do your due diligence though
