Is anyone aware of a state or brick and mortar graduate school which caps semester tuition and also allows an unlimited overload of credits per semester?

I am wrapping up an MS at Troy University, which offers a schoalrship that lowers tuition for $250/credit for military, but it still charges per credit and there is a cap on overloads. Penn State used to allow this with a petition, but now if you go over a certain number of credits they still charge you more.

Specifically looking at schools with good name recognition. UT Austin has some great programs that come out to just $10k total but only in AI, CS, or Data Science. Arkansas State is pretty cheap too but still charges per credit and has somewhat limited options. Hoping to do Finance or perhaps a hard science of some kind and diversify. 

Looking forward to the discussion!

Hello, i’ve hunted all the universities globally but it seems only one university which is globalnxt university may fit me. I’m looking for an online DBA, not in USA or Canada and because as with other universities, i’m not wanting their grading scale as I feel it’ll be pressuring to get minimum 84% etc. I need a program that is accredited by the government or can be WES approved. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Is there a thread that covers TESU course reviews? I'm looking for information on Advanced American Literature 2. Specifically on the requirements of the powerpoint presentations. Is there an oral presentation component required? If someone could drop a link for this thread, or if someone would review the course for me, I would appreciate it.

My job is giving me a budget for professional development, and I want to use it for AI courses — but I don’t want just random YouTube. 

I’m looking for something with a Stormwind-style vibe IT training provider  https://stormwindstudios.com/     :

• structured classes / live or on-demand
  
• labs or hands-on practice
  
• reputable provider (so I can show it to my supervisor)
  
• And most important: it should end in (or include) a real certification exam or voucher — not just a “you finished the video” badge

Please do not view this as a political post. That is not the intent.

Through my meandering life-long learning studies  I have recently taken an interest in the Modernists.

This morning I was delighted to read Ghazala Hashmi, my Lt. Governor-elect, wrote her PhD dissertation on William Carlos Williams. Williams was a Modernist poet and a life-long correspondent with Ezra Pound. As she is an academic, I'm sure I'll find more of Lt. Governor Hashmi's published work. I look forward to reading whatever I can find.
When I was still among the Mundane, my last supervisor often said - Find the good and praise it- .

a term I think she got from Alex Haley.
Random thought - Alex Haley was a Chief Petty Officer (U.S. Coast Guard).

Today is a good day to have a good day. 

My Basic Program cohort will begin our discussion of René Descartes later this morning

I just discovered this forum website and am really excited about it.

So I just also discovered that you can get a degree within 1 year, and some even in 8 months. I'm shocked because most people I know here in my country go to college or university for 4 to 6 years to get the most basic degree.

I need enlightenment on what I could do. I read about the Sofia and study.com combo. I was looking for colleges that accept international students. UPMI sounded really great, the prices and the amount of time I could finish a degree, but I read that they don't offer cybersecurity in their courses. WGU was also great, but it only accepts US students now. Apparently, I want to transfer as many credits from Sophia and other sites as possible and pay less in college. What advice do you have for me?


I currently am not doing anything (unemployed), so I have the whole day can do 6 hours studying per day or more, idk, and I want to finish my degree as fast as possible. Budget is preferably less than 7000 USD

Hello,

I recently started taking Sophia classes with the goal of transferring 90 credits to UMPI. I'm planning on doing a BABA with a minor in marketing. I've read that having multiple minors is recommended, is that true and does it require much more than completing additional Sophia courses that would count for it? Also, would a BLS be faster/easier than a BABA or are they around the same in terms of difficulty in coursework?

I've been thankful to find the spreadsheet by plottedpath to see what's required, but I'm confused if all the business administration courses that aren't UMPI Only Options can be satisfied through Sophia or if I have to use the other sites like Study and Saylor for specific courses that only list them instead of Sophia. I also read that specific courses at UMPI can count during your BA and towards MS credits, are there certain ones to keep an eye out for?

I'm trying to maximize Sophia courses so if anyone knows or has been pursuing the same academic degree that I am I'd appreciate hearing any advice or the best way to go about it.

Thank you very much!

Many here already know Study.com as a solid transfer option for UMPI, but a few recent updates make it worth another look. They continue to offer ACE-approved courses that transfer smoothly, and they’ve made several changes that streamline the process for students:
 
New pricing model: There’s now a $95/month plan that includes 70 of their courses (gen ends and prereqs). You can work on two courses at a time but can complete as many as you’re able to finish within the month, which can make it more practical to complete several classes before your next UMPI session.
 
No more proctored exams: Finals are now open book and open note, which can help people who have test anxiety. Faster grading: Written assignments are usually reviewed within a couple of days, allowing students to move forward without waiting.
 
Mobile access: The new mobile app lets you complete lessons and quizzes from your phone — a useful option for anyone balancing school with work or family.
 
If you’re planning your next UMPI session, these updates could make Study.com an even smoother way to fill in remaining credits.

Hello all, in 2022 I earned my BAS with minors in Political Science and Social Studies. I had a ton of fun in school and it helped me land a job in federal law enforcement. I just came back from a military deployment and am looking to make a career change (still in federal LE). In order to do this, I would like to boost my odds a little more and go and get my BA in Psychology with a Pre-Law and Sociology minor. 

I've gone ahead and did the what-if report that UMPI offers and there are a number of courses I will need to complete. The good news is that time is not a worry of mine. On the other hand, grades are. I would like to keep the door open for law school down the line and for this reason I am wondering if there are easier sources of credit for the following courses...I don't necessarily care about the amount of work required, just if the professors are known to be harsher/more lenient on grading and what the popular paths are for transferring in credits. 

For the Psychology major the courses needed are

PSY 205 Lifespan Development
PSY 311 Research Methods I
PSY 446 Psychobiology

and 9 from the following 

PSY/SOC 200
PSY 235
PSY 341
PSY 360
PSY 370
PSY 374
PSY 375
PSY 380
PSY 382
PSY 448
PSY 496


For the Pre-Law minor the only course I need is Business Communication

For Sociology I need any 3 UL SOC courses.

Hi guys. I was scrolling the MOOC pages of Finnish universities, and it seems that starting last year it's no longer possible to pay something less than 10000 euros per year for a proper degree. I am a non-EU citizen residing in the EU and I don't fall to the fee exemption category, so if you have the same situation as mine, you shall think of other solutions (i.e., the US institutions).
