Hi everyone,
I’m starting to map out my degree plans, and I’m trying to make sense of all the general education options out there. I’ve been reading through a lot of threads, and the advice has already helped me get a better feel for the process. I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself and ask a few questions.
I’m especially interested in which gen-ed courses tend to be the most flexible, which ones transfer without problems, and which providers people here usually trust. I’d also love to hear any study habits or tips that made the early stages easier for you.
If you’re open to sharing your experience or pointing out things I should watch out for, I’d really appreciate it. I’m here to learn and hopefully help others as I progress.
Thanks in advance, and I’m glad to be joining the community!

I was searching for ABD doctoral programs and came across this program. Looks like the program is a total of 60 credits, but they accept 42 transfer credits for their ABD pathway. Tuition is $900 per credit, for a total of $16,200, and only six courses to complete, all dissertation-related. They hold RA accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Learning.

This is tempting for the price point if one can get all 42 credits transferred in. Hmmm, maybe I should give it a try in the future? Perhaps someone on the forum will before me haha.

A.B.D. Pathway
Our program offers an A.B.D. (All But Dissertation) pathway for students who have completed doctoral coursework elsewhere, allowing them to transfer up to 42 credits, receive expert mentorship, and finish their dissertation in a supportive academic environment. Please see admissions requirements below for additional items required for A.B.D. applicants.

The Foundations of Community Leadership & Civil Advocacyis from Shepherd University and it came across my Facebook feed today.  I applied to it.


This course will prepare students to be effectively engaged community leaders by acquiring the skills to advocate for themselves, their employers, their community, and the causes they care about.  Successful course completers will earn 3 credit hours and a Community Leadership & Civil Advocacy (CLCA) certificate from the Stubblefield Institute.

I'm on the discord and don't see many talking about this concentration. I'm assuming there's not many students enrolled compared to communication, hrm etc
It appears trudel and reyes-fournier are professors and they can be a little picky at least that's what most experienced at umpi for undergrad business classes. Especially 325 pre 2025

Life and my health happened and my GPA is shot. I'm trying to give my kids some stability and I dont need to love my job Its going to be a means to provide.  I have no degree, Ive been substitute teaching and doing some other odd jobs to get my youngest to school age but its time to buckle down and decide what to do. Any ideas are useful.  Ive attached my transcript.

Amberton allows 87 credits for transfer. Then you gotta take the remaining 33 there at Amberton.

It does not specify that only a certain number of those credits can be from non-collegiate providers (like Study.com, Straighterline, etc.).

As such, I know this is may be a tall feat, but do you guys know of any crosswalk docs that show what classes may transfer to Amberton?

Hi all,  Please share your experiences. 
I’m a mature student with over 15 years of management experience and a British National Diploma (similar to an Associate Degree in the U.S.), I am considering pursuing a CRE BBA program and am particularly looking at two options: UMass Global Self-Paced and Purdue Global ExcelTrack. 
I target to complete my degree within 6 months. I feel confident in my ability to handle quizzes and papers and I can put in about 30-40 hrs each week. I have a preference for the UMass Global Self-Paced program due to their 6-month flat rate arrangement. However, my experience with UMass Global’s enrollment coach was frustrating. I scheduled a call through their platform and waited there, only to receive an email stating they tried to reach me but were unsuccessful while my phone was working. I replied immediately and provided an online meeting link, but they insisted on a phone call that never materialized. After following up with my questions via email, I have yet to receive a response, with over two weeks passing.
On the other hand, I have had better experiences with Purdue Global's support services. Given my issues with UMass Global, I am wondering if I should proceed with Purdue Global ExcelTrack instead. Has anyone experienced similar difficulties with UMass Global as an international student, or perhaps had a different experience? Or maybe UMPI? Is it supportive to international students? I would greatly appreciate any insights or shared experiences.

Good afternoon everyone, so I am trying to help my fiance' plan for her bachelor's degree. She has completed an associates in education from a community college in NJ. Due to scheduling issues with work, our son and other things she has decided to complete her BA online. TESU, SNHU, and WGU are among the top options for her, with current preference leaning to TESU. She has 12 clep credits for Spanish w advanced writing, she has 54 credits from the community college, with the clep statisfying the rest of that degree. She took a semester and a summer class at Kean, in which she has 17 credits, including pre calc and calculus 1 finished. There is a lot of spanish because she was doing bilingual mathematics, but she is happy with just getting a ba in mathematics if it is quicker at this point, then doing post a bachelors alternate route and bilingual cert, as she has a resting job offer for as soon as she finishes with the district I work in, preferably in time for next september, We had planned on doing Sophia, Study.org, and other online credit sources to transfer as much as possible. If anyone can help with the planning of it here are the names of all of her courses so far

If any suggestions regarding colleges or other programs to look into, please let me know. I appreciate the help so much.

Getting nervous as my test date approaches, I'm terrible with essays and have forgotten how to do citations.

I am going to get a manual today but haven't been able to narrow down which one I should get.

I did look at the TESU page about the test but it's not the same as hearing from someone who has taken it, so any input at all about this TECEP is appreciated lol
