Question: How many credits can transfer from a community college to a state accredited university?

Specifically, I used to attend Bergen Community College and transferred over to Rutgers Newark. Currently, Rutgers has accepted all 24 of the credits I took during my first year in college. If I were to attend Bergen Community College over the summer and take course(s). Up to what limit would they stop allowing those credits to be transferred over? New Jersey

Whenever you transfer you are always at the mercy of the place you are transferring to. Every place his its own rules, so I'd check with them.

The Radburn-Fair Lawn Station and Glen Rock Boro Hall Station? are nearby but will require a permit (which is for residents) to park there. It's been said that you can park nearby the Bank of America at the Glen Rock Boro Hall Station but I don't know if there is a meter that you will have to feed or times of the day/week you are allowed to do it there.

Becoming a physician assistant is a great choice. They can make around 50,000 - 85,000 yearly. Their is an increase in avilable jobs, so after graduating you will be more likely to find a job quickly. Almost all community colleges have P.A. programs, but you should call the school just to be sure. For more information you should check out this website... http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos081.htm By the way, my aunt's a PA and she loves her job because it allows her to practice medicine but be able to balance her family life as well.
