Recognize AA degree or any college course work: Yes, however if this work was completed post-secondary, we would not review the student as a freshman. The individual could apply as a transfer student, but outside of this program. If, however, the work was done concurrently (dual degree program) with the high school course work, we would recognize it in the admissions process.
Recognize awarding of college credits via alternative means, e.g., DANTES or CLEP: Yes, CLEP.
