Is it possible to enter a subsequent course, after studying on the net?
I want to know - If I do Coursera, Udacity, etc., will I be able to apply for a Masters program after that? Somewhere on one of the sites, I read that there's no college credit for taking the courses, and I understand that, but if I can THEN join a Masters, *for which* I can get credit, then it's not really necessary in the 1st place, right?
Are there any Masters colleges which will truly EXAMINE what my prior knowledge and expertise is? (It has to be an English speaking country, at least the course has to BE in English). |
You'll have to ask your college-in-question about that sort of thing. Either they accept the credits or they don't.

Here's the application form to challenge the University of Victoria's courses: http://registrar.uvic.ca/undergrad/r..._Challenge.pdf |
That PDF file says something to the effect of "only 15 credits max", and "not open to unclassified, non-degree students", so.... it may not be that progressive a college.
Dugan..... I feel like you're a close personal FRIEND of mine or something, with the number of my questions you've answered :) What's Canada like anyway? If I go there, will I meet Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne on a bus or something? :) |

It's difficult to answer "what's Canada like?", but one aspect that's relevant to this thread is that universities are government subsidized. The tuition fees are generally much lower than in other countries. Do be aware that the University of Victoria's (known to locals as "UVic")'s course challenge policies are likely to be shared by every accredited university in Canada. |
