I got a second, third, fourth, fith opinion, and probably more... Every time I actually found someone at the school who would return a call, they told me the same thing - there was 'no way' they would require 50 credits to be done over. They promised to get everything fixed for me and call back, but guess what? They never did call back!!!! When they opened a local campus, I talked to counsellors there, and they kept telling me that they had changed the course requirements for the BSBA and I would have to take 50-60 additional core credits. I am being completely honest here. I understand why an academic counselor would express the opinion you put forth, but I think you need to understand that the University of Phoenix is not so much an academic institution as they are a money machine.

I recommend you look at why you can't finish that program. Chances are you were either out for over a year, or you are looking at a location which doesn't offer your program. 50 credits is a bit too much. As a former academic counselor, that is basically impossible. YOu'd have to change from business to criminal justice for that to happen... I just don't think you are being honest here, or someone isn't give you all of your options. Call another campus and just ask for a pre-eval for reentry. Look at www.phoenix.edu and click on locations> just call and ask... Get a second opinion.
