Were your Berkleemusic credits accepted by an RA school?

Has anyone taken these courses and had them transferred into an RA program? If so, at what level? And how much credit was awarded? At what college? For which program?

I took the 24 credit arranging program. I had enough credits that I didn't need to apply them to my Thomas Edison Music Degree, but I was told that all of the credits could be counted in the "elective" music area.

Thanks. I'm looking for a way to complete my bachelor's degree. I have an A.A. in English, plus more music on top--75 credits in all. I've completed all my lower-level music (applied and performance courses, too).

Here's what Berklee College says about accepting their own Berklee.music courses BERKLEE | Berklee Today (http://www.berklee.edu/bt/192/unfinished_business.html):

There are 30 courses offered through the Berkleemusic.com site that may be applied to a matriculated student's general elective requirements in the degree and diploma programs. Students can transfer up to two Berkleemusic.com courses and receive two credits per course if they have earned a grade of C or higher and if the courses were originally taken for credit or were part of a certificate program.

So they themselves will accept only two of their own courses, will award only two credits per each 3-credit course, and will apply them only toward general elctive requirements.

So I was hoping to hear from someone who actually went this route how EC or TESC applied these courses and see if these colleges fared better.

That is definitely true about the "brick and mortar" portion of Berklee. Kind of strange that they don't accept their own courses... That being said though, the credits do transfer.
Both Excelsior and TESC have basically the same requirements for the B.A. in Music. They both require roughly 30 hours of general music requirements. This is where the berklee classes are applied. TESC and excelsior both require 6 hours of theory and 6 hours of music history. You might be able to convince them of the theory, but the history portion would have to be covered through other credits.
