How far can I go with a lifetime cap of 120 semester hours?

It depends on many variables.  Starting from the beginning, with no transferable credits, you can typically earn an Associate and Bachelor’s degree with 120 SH.  Choosing a rate relevant degree which allows a greater number of JST credits to be transferred towards the degree may allow you to stretch your 120 SH.  Additionally, utilizing the CLEP/DSST Testing programs can also earn you credit towards your degree.  If you can maximize transfer credits from your JST and the CLEP/DSST programs, you may be able to use TA/NCPACE  to fund through your Master’s degree.  Contact the NCVEC for assistance with outlining a strong plan.
