Hi. I hold the MBA but now am a business teacher looking  for a cheap, short DBA or EdD either NA or RA. Any recommendations? I’m willing to do international ones with partnerships as well. Accreditation (national is fine) and affordability is a must. Thanks!

I recently earned my MBA and am looking into PHD programs. University of the Cumberlands will transfer 12 credits immediately for me, but has anyone done the prior learning portfolio? I don't see a thing on this site or anywhere online where anyone has even mentioned it.

SELF IMPOSED MINIMIZE CONSIDERED


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yesterday's "Administrative measures" punishment imposed on Sonenator Mark Kelly gave me a little flashback and a smile.

My honest thought is that the sly " Administrative measures" punishment was tadry. 

The right way would have been to refer the matter to Court Martial.

I could not help but to remember this two decades old argument

Quote:I hate to burst Charles' bubble (and his nonsensical attack on me), but I am most certainly NOT subject to the UCMJ. Even active reservists are not subject to the UCMJ while they're between either training days or active duty sessions. As a retired reservist, I am under no one's command, including that idiot Bush. Were he to recall me to active duty, however, I would certainly cease public commentary about his inanities. But that isn't going to happen.

Hi everyone,

My situation is I submitted Bachelor's transcript to CPA broad to get evaluation and unfortunately only 113 credits out of 120 got accepted. I just learn that Texas allows you to sit for CPA exam with just 120 credits not 150 anymore. 

So if I take a master degree with WGU do you think that I would qualify to sit for the exam? 

After finish the Master degree, do I still need to earn 7 credits for the license if I pass the CPA test?

Thank you

Have applied to well over 100 on inspira over the past six months, many if not most applications have been sitting at "under consideration" (some for about that long), and the closest thing to a lucky break was taking the psychometric HR evaluation for one role.  

I'm assuming this is fairly typical of UN HR bureaucracy? If so, this makes the US government's HR systems (which I'm also quite familiar with) look like Barry Allen.

I was recently approached by European International University EIU-Paris offering a Doctorate degree for €2,200, with completion promised within 14 days in any field. As I have not yet completed my Master’s degree, this offer immediately raised serious concerns regarding academic credibility.

Independent verification revealed that degrees are awarded with no academic requirements, often based solely on a CV and internally structured by their own team.
Further research shows the institution is not registered as a public or state-recognized university and not even as a Private University.

Instead, EIU-Paris operates as a private limited company in France (e.g., SAS/SASU) using the word “University” in its English trade name.
Registered only as a "Distance Learning Centre"
As a private company, it provides unregulated distance-learning tuition without accreditation from French higher-education authorities or recognized academic licensing bodies.
The degrees issued are not government-accredited, are not aligned with national qualification frameworks, and do not hold formal equivalence to regulated university degrees.

The use of terms such as “Private University” appears to be misleading, as this does not indicate licensed or accredited university status.
In practice, the entity functions as a private tuition provider rather than a licensed degree-awarding institution.

This operational model appears designed to avoid academic regulation while issuing autonomous certificates with no formal academic recognition.
Consequently, the degrees are not recognised or accepted by accredited institutions or official qualification frameworks anywhere in the world.

I share this with deep concern, as students and professionals may be misled into investing time and money in qualifications that lack recognised academic standing.
Strong caution is advised when engaging with institutions that are not accredited, including entities that use the term “University” in their company name without recognition from official higher-education authorities as a Univerisity. 

The Minisitry of Education in France only recognizes EIU-Paris as a "Distance Learning Provider" which costs €500 to open such companies and not a University- and this company is duping, misleading students with the term "University" in its name - its the biggest scam i came across. 

Ok, so I've finished the course for BUS 200 on Saylor Academy. Did the normal final exam, now want to do the Saylor Direct Credit Final Exam to get credits for UMPI.

I'm in the sign up page and it just says "Start Exam" after I put in my personal info. Nothing about proctoring or paying the $5, etc.

How do I get this set up to actually get the credits that I can transfer to Credly/UMPI?

Was wondering about this when looking up the Open University of Cyprus, which does not appear to offer any doctoral-level research degrees.

My initial alma mater used to provide degrees in Interdisciplinary Humanities at the Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral levels.

The Doctoral program was scrapped and, at the graduate level, the program was retrofitted entirely into a Master's in something called "Digital Humanities", which is largely about online archiving and digital archaeology, such as it is.

I noticed something similar happening with another university, Salve Regina University; Salve used to provide a robust Doctoral program simply in "Humanities", which has since tried to save itself by rebranding as something like "Humanities and Technology." 

I think there are a number of factors that have influenced the dissolution of a "pure" interdisciplinary Humanities degree; ironically, an Interdisciplinary Humanities program, as such, has the greatest precedent in how academia was initially structured during its early days in Europe. But the disappearance of the Interdisciplinary Humanities degree, all in all, was influenced by the 2008 financial crisis causing (as a second-order effect) an identity crisis among universities, which often branded themselves as career factories and struggled to market programs that didn't have a clear study-to-work pipeline or represent a linear professional path. 

That said the Interdisciplinary Humanities degree was not always a bust. Prior to the dissolution of my first alma mater's Interdisciplinary Humanities program, I knew quite a few Doctorate-holders in it, most of whom went into some form of teaching profession with their degree + a state teacher certification, or a private/preparatory school gig that did not require state licensure. Other students in the now-defunct Interdisciplinary Humanities Doctoral program were already practitioners of various represented disciplines seeking a breadth-based rather than depth-based scholar-practitioner route. 

If there is a lesson from this, it is that the Interdisciplinary Humanities program started going the way of the dodo mainly because the variations on why people did the degree plus the career paths they demonstrated were hard to explain to an increasingly streamlined, linear, narrow, quick-and-dirty-summary-focused view of higher education. This included at the doctoral level where a graphic designer using their contract money to study for a Classics/Theatre/Religion all-in-one doctorate or a private school teacher trying to top-up their credentials via another customized variation of Humanities disciplines while existing outside of the state licensure system didn't read as legible.

Hi I’m trying to get ACE credits done before starting BA in CS at TESU. I did a bunch of SDC courses (subscription expired now) and used both free transfer credit evaluations at TESU already. They evaluated SDC’s Political Science 102: American Government as equivalent to POS-1000 United States Government, instead of POS-1100 American Government which was what I was expecting. They also evaluated SDC’s Environmental Science 101 as equivalent to ENS-2000, instead of EAS-101 which was what I was expecting. Because of those differences I’m still short on the Civic and Global Leadership - Civic Engagement and Awareness requirement and the Scientific Knowledge requirement. I was using a spreadsheet from the website Major Mash.

Should I send TESU an email asking them to re-evaluate those courses? I think I can take Saylor’s POLSC201 or POLSC221 for the Civic Engagement and Awareness requirement but I don’t know how to meet the Scientific Knowledge requirement without spending like $100 on a Sophia subscription. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you!
