  Which schools accept NCCRS?
Posted by: wow - 08-09-2024, 10:37 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

Is there a list on this board somewhere of which of our commonly discussed schools accept NCCRS recommendations? e.g. TESU, COSC, Excelsior, UMPI, WGU, Pierpont, TAMUC (and maybe some of the less commonly discussed ones like university of the people, walden, Capella, etc.)

If not, let's start one! I'll use it to update the NCCRS page on the Wiki.

  Creating a Signature

I see an old thread on here from like 20 years ago about how to create or edit your signature for posts but the instructions are not currently applicable as there is no option to edit a signature on the left panel after clicking "user CP". Can anyone provide assistance?

  UDEMEX Universidad Digital del Estado de Mexico
Posted by: Avidreader - 08-09-2024, 01:31 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (13)

Yup, there is yet another inexpensive online university for people with a good mastery of Spanish and ideally a CURP number. It seems like with the immense success of the Guanajuato State University offering a sibling Online school that other states in the country would end up opening their own.
This school doesn't seem to be affiliated with the Autonomous State U of the State of Mexico (known as the UAEMX school). Looks like a brand new university pushed by the federal government to bring low cost online degrees to more people. And the price is hard to beat. Their bachelors only cost 5000 MXN (260 USD) a year and their bachelors are 3 years long.

The real cost seems to be the titulation which demands a thesis and paying sinodales. Around 10,000 MXN (530 usd). I am not sure if some of these titulation fees are for everyone or the school has different graduation modalities which have been rightfully increasing in popularity such as doing 4 month certificate programs to graduate at the UNAM. But even so, getting a complete bachelors degree for less than 1400 USD could interest some folk.

The variety of degrees is very sparse and they are similar to the UNAM online university in the sense they only start 3 times a year instead of every 8 weeks like the UVEG. They have class starting dates in January and September. Just like the UVEG, this school demands a servicio social or community service. It could be difficult finding online options for students.

Masters degrees cost 27,000 mxn (1300 usd) without including the titulation, total 3000 usd.
Doctorates cost 23,736 mxn (1200 usd), so along with titulation, around 31,600 mxn including titulation (1660 usd).

While everything including the final exam of the degrees are online, you have to physically travel to offices in the State of Mexico to present documents. There are emails of coordinators that receive these documents. I cannot confirm if they would allow applicants abroad to send them by fedex or dhl. The emails of each coordinator is listed. Applicants could send them an email, explain they live too far away and ask if they'd accept shipped documents like the UVEG does. Maybe with some luck, one coordinator will accept this option and allow the entire degree to be done fully online.

The Udemex has these degrees:

Bachelors:
It and digital business
Public security ( degree program seems to be Criminal Justice focused)
Sales
Information administration (less technology and more management focused)
Psychology

Masters:
Public administration
Digital education technology (online classes)
Business Innovation

Doctorate:
Education innovation

  TAMUC - Accepted
Posted by: KagomeH - 08-08-2024, 08:23 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (7)

Hello! Based on other advice on the forum and also advice from my junior college, I transferred to TAMUC for Fall I.

I was torn a bit between using my AS in Criminal Justice for the Criminal Justice or General Studies CBE or my AAS in Medical Lab Technology for the Safety and Health or Health Services Administration. I am waiting to speak with TAMUC advisor to double check next week but I decided on the Safety and Health BAAS degree with the Criminal Justice BAAS degree a back-up option. I hope the meeting with the advisor will help me maximize my other credits but either way, I am super excited.


Note people needing the Texas Government credit:

I already took this class before ever visiting these forums. However, there are few options people may consider before taking it with TAMUC if the credit is too much. While not CBE based, many community colleges offer it online for eight or sixteen week sessions during the fall, spring, and summer sessions. If you need help, I can try to help you find it. My class for 16 weeks was $382. They also offer it in an eight week term that passes quickly. I thought this information may help if someone needs to "stretch" it out a bit longer.

so I sent my all of transcripts to PierPont and so far they have only processed my credly page however they didnt give me full credits for most of this. I have been emailing them wondering if it was a mistake on their part but its been a week and no response yet. what do you think may have happened? I did sent my credly transcript around 3 different times as the badges weren't all there. but they audited on 08/03 and included most of my badges however did not apply the correct credits for TEEX and missed my GOOGLe Project Management credits I have also applied

I thought I was looking at a total of 16 RA credits from BMCC and 95-97 credits from ACE (credly) however I am still waiting on Pierpont to let me know whats going on. I have also sent my credly and BMCC transcript as well as Resume to Umpi for admissions

Lightbulb TESU BA in International Studies? Experiences?
Posted by: SCYankee - 08-08-2024, 02:02 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (19)

I may indeed go for the BSBA, but I'm curious about TESU BA in International Studies?

Does anybody have any experience with this program?

It requires 9 credits of "Regional Electives" and 9 credits of "Global Electives". However, the degree plan doesn't link to a list of approved courses and says to contact an advisor. After searching through their full list of electives, I'm wondering whether they offer the necessary courses (and which ones) and whether those courses are just speread out among other categories of electives.

Any other insight about this program is welcome too.

Thanks.

  Sophia Courses to TESU: No More List?
Posted by: SCYankee - 08-08-2024, 12:15 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, OnlineDegree.com, Sophia.Org Discussion - Replies (2)

Life's been busy. Haven't been here for a while. I'm trying to finally nail down a degree plan going forward, especially since Study.com has a great sale going on (to catch the last few credits before transferring them to TESU or Liberty)...

But I just pulled up my old bookmark for a page on Sophia that showed how TESU brought in their courses. The page no longer exists and I've seen mention that it's a gray area now.

So what's the current situation between Sophia and TESU? How do I determine exactly what spaces my Sophia credits fill?

Thanks for any help.

Your Location: 
Ontario, Canada
Your Age: 
30
What kind of degree do you want?: 
BA CS
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 
42 RA credits derived from BABA at UMPI.
18 ACE credits from Sophia.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
None
Budget: USD 20K. 

Commitments: No other commitments.
Dedicated time to study: I can study 20+ hours a week.
Timeline:  Would like to finish within 1 year.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.


Hello everyone.

I have applied for BA CS at TESU and my credits have transferred successfully. I hope to complete 47 RA credits (15 courses) at TESU. I plan to complete it in one year while graduating with a very high GPA (Close to 4).
I have been working as a software engineer for 6 years. I think some of these courses might be easier for me (or maybe it won't be easy). I completed a 60-credit BA BA degree from UMPI in the previous four months and earned a 4.0 GPA. I currently have 20 hours a week to devote to TESU.

I currently have some questions I would like to ask:
How difficult is the CS program at TESU? On average, how many hours do I need to spend on each course? Is 20 hours a week enough to enable me to complete 5 or 4 courses per semester?
Also I would like to get ASNSM at the same time. Will taking some of these math courses from Sophia satisfy this associate degree?
Why is it that compared to WGU, SNHU. TESU doesn't seem to have as strong of community support, for example, WGU, and SNHU both have active reddit & discord study groups.

Thanks to everyone!
