  Italian guy looking for US Bachelor Degree
Posted by: Zaknir - 10-03-2024, 05:41 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

As in the subject, I live in Italy (so I'm sorry for any error while writing in EN) and right now I'm looking for a US Bachelor Degree, as here in Italy I couldn't find a way to reasonably speed-up the time required for the degree.
Also, I have a GED and not a High School Diploma (long story).

Right now I'm a single full-time worker, so my schedule is mostly free.

These are the info I can provide:

Your Location: Italy (near Milan)
Your Age: 37
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor Degree in Computer Science (was looking for TESU)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0 (can't take CLEP in Italy)

Budget: Saved up around $5000 and can save up more during the year (let's say I can save up $10000)
Commitments: 2-3 hours in the evening of week and double that in weekends. Also, right now in my current job there's no much to do so I MIGHT even study up to 10 hours/day under right circumstances (but let's say 2-3 to be more realistic). So it's around 30 hours/week.
Timeline: I would like to complete this under 12 months.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

  $199 Hospitality & Tourism certificate from Florida Atlantic University
Posted by: CollegeStudentAC - 10-03-2024, 02:36 AM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - Replies (12)

Starts October 7. Seems self-paced. The university's other continuing education certificates are like over $1k.

The certificate looks nice and one photo shows a printed certificate so looks like you receive a print as well and not just digital: https://www.google.com/search?q=florida+...s-wiz-serp

Heart email from WGU
Posted by: 875876 - 10-02-2024, 06:27 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - No Replies

I am in western North Carolina (where there was just a hurricane) and I received this email from WGU yesterday.  It has a list of resources, which really isn't very helpful, but it is really nice that they acknowledged what happened.  Interestingly, WGU and GoFundMe are the only two (non-local) businesses who have sent out an email like this, and I get a lot of emails from a lot of businesses.  Anywho, I just thought this was interesting and nice.

  Newb advice: order of operations - Accumulate credits then enroll vs opposite?
Posted by: mbcummings - 10-02-2024, 01:07 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (11)

I'm pretty well decided on either TESU or Excelsior. 

Goal is fast track bachelors in liberal studies. I'd like a BS in psych but fastest track = best track and thus far lib studies looks faster. Maybe psych masters after.

Question: which will save more cost overall?:

  1. Enroll and admit in one of the above first, then start taking courses from study/sophia (3rd party ed. platforms) etc. to aggregate.
  2. Just start taking courses, then enroll and admit to transfer in/aggregate when all but "residency" required course/credits are completed.

Is this even a good or common question? (I've searched this forum of course, not to find answers.)
What is a better question and decision to make at this point, for how to save money (first) and time (second)?


FYI - personal context: old life-long student, non-combat vet with misc. college credits, a "diploma" from a private (and closed) trade school, and decades of professional experience in software design/IT. An ADHD diagnosis later in life explained a lot about my complex history with educational institutions generally. Trying to make the most of things is all.

  ASU 100 Million Survey
Posted by: Heartstrings - 10-02-2024, 12:04 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

I recently got asked to complete a survey for the ASU 100 million certificate. It asked if I wanted to do in a person interview but I chose to do the online survey. To see motivation. It also asked if they can contact me for more questions. I have been seeing in the news lately that ASU is going through some financial issues and a lot of profs got laid off and they had to completely drop their teacher's program. I wonder if this will have any impact on the price to make the certificate into actual credits. ASU programs are already very expensive.

  Pierpont Dual Enrollment Price Increase

For those with students in Pierpont Dual Enrollment, the tuition for non-resident increased from $25 per credit to $60 per credit. Still a bargain but less so than in the past.

  Advice for Starting Out (again)
Posted by: Petra - 10-01-2024, 08:31 AM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (4)

Good morning. I'm a returning student working Help Desk. I'd like to finish a Software Engineering degree as quickly as possible. WGU seems to be a good option for me. What is the process for applying/transferring credits like?

For example, I have credits from 3 different colleges over time. I want to take as many Sophia/SDC courses as possible. Shall I take all the Sophia/SDC coursework first and then apply to WGU? Can I verify which previous courses will transfer before applying to WGU so that I'm not locked out from transferring new coursework? I'm not sure about the order of these operations. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your Location: Virginia, USA 
Your Age: 38
What kind of degree do you want?: Software Engineering (Java)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 38
Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: Small as possible
Commitments: None
Dedicated time to study: 14hrs/week (more, if necessary)
Timeline:ASAP
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

  Question regarding UMPI BAS to MAOL
Posted by: Hackingat40 - 09-30-2024, 08:43 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

Hey everyone! 

I am starting UMPI October 28th and I have all 10 of my classes ready to go. My plan is BAS with the triple minor of PM, MIS, and management.  

My question is:
If I complete 4 classes towards MAOL and what I am reading is only 3 will go towards it, am I then taking one of these classes over again when I get to the MAOL Courses?

Thanks!
