I was just informed today by the registrars office that they will accept 3 certs for UL electives that are offered via Coursera:
Google Project Management = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
Google UX Design = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
Meta Social Media Marketing = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective
If you were to do Health 310 via Study.com, that would then put you at a total of 12 UL Credits.

Since we have a list for MBA and related degrees, I thought we should have one for non-Business related (not the MAOL, MSML, MBA, MBS, etc). Something either in the US/UK or foreign equivalent would also work, as there are many international programs available affordably. I'll be searching this and the sister board to compile a list...

| PhD after WGU MS in Data Analytics? |

I dropped out of WGU in May when I ran into some problematic classes. Since then, I took those classes at 3rd party schools and picked up an Associate's degree. Now I am returning to WGU to finish my BS in Data Analytics and get the MS in DA. I should get the BS and MS within a year. After that, I assume I will be done with college, since I will be almost 60 and still plan to work. I was curious if there was a PhD in Data Analytics that was doable within 1 year. One more year of school might be ok if I could get a PhD. Most PhD programs seem to take a minimum of 2 years, if not longer.

| Who will win the trillion-dollar robotaxi race? |

Who will win the trillion-dollar robotaxi race?
This topic keeps coming up, and for good reason. Below are two solid reads that frame the debate well:
Right now, the two clear front-runners are Waymo and Tesla, though they’re taking very different paths.
Waymo is ahead today in terms of proven Level-4 deployments, operational experience, and regulatory trust. It’s already running fully driverless services in multiple cities and logging millions of miles without safety drivers.
Tesla, however, is closing the gap quickly. Its recent driverless testing in Austin sparked renewed investor enthusiasm and helped push Tesla to a roughly $1.6T valuation. Tesla’s approach which is camera-only perception plus massive data and AI training remains controversial, but it scales differently than Waymo’s sensor-heavy model.
Elon Musk has gone as far as to claim that fully autonomous driving is “pretty much solved” during a recent event for xAI, though critics argue that technical success, safety validation, and profitable deployment are very different milestones.
One inevitability worth discussing: at some point, there will be a headline about a robotaxi killing someone. When that happens, we’ll be forced again into the classic trolley-problem debate:
Do we judge autonomous systems against human perfection, or against human averages?
So the real question may not be who gets there first, but:
- Who earns long-term public trust?
- Who can make the economics work at scale?
- And will there be one winner or regional and platform-level winners instead?
Curious to hear how others see this playing out.
And what happens to Uber?
Does it adapt and become the dominant platform for robotaxis, or does it risk becoming the Blockbuster Video of ride-hailing, disrupted by the very technology it helped popularize?

| University of Arkansas MS in Engineering Management |

I just graduated from Thomas Edison State University Dec 12, 2025. I was able to knock out 45 credit hours between March and November 2025, including 3 Sophia classes and 1 Straighterline.
After much research, I chose the MS in Engineering Management at University of Arkansas. You have to have a STEM degree that is ABET accredited as well as a 3.0 GPA in last 60 credit hours to get accepted. Their website says you must have an engineering degree, but apparently this was changed in the last year to include Engineering Technology majors. TESU's Electronic Systems Engineering Technology degree meets all the requirements.
What I like about the EM at University of Arkansas is 1) major school recognition 2) their Engineering Management program is certified by the American Society of Engineering Management, and 3) the price is $1089 per 3 hour class all in (I just registered and paid for Spring 26). So far it has been a smooth process. You can have a Masters in Engineering Management from a major school for literally under $11k!!
