I have a couple friends going for RN, possibly then take advantage of the free or nearly free RN to BSN by University of Olivet. 
They are working through the science and nursing courses at our community college, but were hoping to speed things up by testing out of the general eds if that is possible.
Ideally looking to transfer the nursing and science courses into a school that allows CBE.

Anyone know of a program available?

I’m hoping to complete bus 325 at another university and transfer it in. Anyone know of any good equivalents?

Many other classes even in the major can be transferred in from other colleges so there must be a way to transfer in this class as well.

Hi there,

I have been browsing this forum for a couple of days and I really appreciate all of the information you have on here. Several years ago, I took several classes at a state college, got incredibly depressed, and ended up dropping out with a 1.4 gpa. Recently, I took dozens of classes on Sophia Learning, and passes all of them, which transferred a ton of credits to the community college I'm now studying at. I just have one problem: I need at least a 2.5 GPA or higher to get into the University I want to attend after graduating with my associates degree. I may be able to achieve this, and I have very good grades right now, but I only need three more classes to graduate, and there's a chance that I might not get an A in one of them next semester, trapping me with a lower GPA and a lost chance at attending a higher level university.

Are there any cheap classes that are quick and easy to complete that are graded? I am not afraid of hard work, I am swamped with work and classes, providing for myself, so I would prefer something that isn't too difficult to complete that would easily transfer to a community college in Florida so I can increase my Cumulative GPA?

I did a search about Labster cost when doing lab courses on study.com, and the only post I found here was from 2021 saying that it's usually $69. Does anyone have a more recent figure? And is this fee per lab course, or is it a subscription where, if you are taking multiple lab courses, you can do labs for both/all of them under one price If you complete them within a set time frame?

I hope I didn't write lobster anywhere. Computer really wants me to.

Here is yet another fully accredited Latin American university that accepts foreign students that offers a wide variety of online degrees and a few certificates. All degrees in this school are in Spanish.
Panama's currency is the USD, which makes their degrees pricier than other countries, but they have several degrees that I haven't seen elsewhere so far.

List of degrees:

Associates:

Business Administration
Cybersecurity
IT Systems
Accounting
Finance Administration
Logistics
Airline Service (focused on being an Airplane flight attendant)
Customs Management

Bachelors:

Maritime Business Administration
Business administration
Psychology
Criminology
Marketing and Publicity
Finance Administration
Risk and Insurance Management
Social Communications
Logistics
Law and Political Science
Systems Administration (Computer science)
Cybersecurity

Masters:

Business Management Emphasis Human Resources and Talent
MBA emphasis Banking and International Finance
Education with Research Emphasis
Education with School Administration Emphasis
Logistics and Maritime Management
Maritime Law
Innovation
Health Auditing
Corporative Business Law
Hospital Business Management
Digital Marketing
Business Management with Project Management Emphasis
Business Management with High Management Emphasis
Business Administration with Agricultural Companies

Doctorates:

Education with Research Emphasis
Business Administration

I can't find an exact cost for the degrees, but it seems like you pay as you go by trimester or by subject. Each month costs around 100 USD. You can take minimum 3 courses per trimester and maximum 6. They seem adamant regarding admission for international students to have all prior degrees translated to Spanish and have a La Haya Apostillate. I am unsure if a student can accelerate the degrees (wording seems to hint it might be possible but it would be best to get confirmation from the school).
It seems like their associates degrees cost around 2000 usd and bachelors 4000 USD, but if they allow credits from prior degrees, the price and speed to get the degrees might accelerate since they have a few Gen Eds courses in the first trimester.

They also have several certificate programs in courses like:

Storytelling and Branding cert (seems aimed at Market Branding)
Social Media Management
Business Analytics
Marketing Analytics
Inbound Marketing
Facilitator Formation
Social Media Applied to Tourism
Web Analytics
Statistics for Decision Making
Project Management
Direct Ability Development
Sports Facility Management 
Administration of Garment and Fashion Marketing
Advertising Analytics
Growth Hacking
Podcasting
E-Commerce
Design, Communication, Fashion Design
Mobile Marketing
Big Data
Professional Voiceover (doesn't seem to specify if certification is for voice acting or voice recording for commercials)
Human Resources Management
Business Management
Community Management
Business Innovation
Blockchain
SEO Search Engine
Startup Incubation


It seems like most certificates cost 1500 usd. There is also an Excel course.

Some degrees sich as the Flight Attendant Associates degree requires a short internship where the student practices their skills in a real airline for around 15-30 hours a week, to bear this in mind for international applicants. International students will likely have to find an airline in their country that accepts as an intern.

Apologies if this was posted during my hiatus from the board. I did a search both here and with a couple external search engines and didn't see anything, so I'm posting it now:

This has been a struggle for some families who were working towards associate's degrees through the labor unions' free college programs. Once the free college programs ended, the per credit tuition at EGCC made continuing super expensive. The college is closing completely, so ... Some family members have thrown their hands in the air, some were only one or two classes short of a degree and are looking to transfer to an Ohio college to complete the degree online. But it looks like the options even within Ohio are limited, and very expensive for out-of-state (except maybe Washington State College of Ohio? $170/credit in-state and $171/credit out-of state). Pierpont Is an option for the ones that don't already have associates or bachelors degrees, but some do and were working toward additional specialized associates degrees in a specific career field.

Just curious if anyone on this board has been affected and if they have tried completing their degree elsewhere (other than Pierpont).

For years on and off I have considered pursuing the University of People Health Science bachelors degree. This would really be more of an icing on the cake degree and not something that I need for my career. I would be able to transfer in 90, or close to 90, of the required credits. The thing that always holds me back is the internship requirement. I am mid/late career (old for an intern) and have worked in Health Science related fields (health education), so it's really hard to imagine being able to acquire a free internship--I would be considered overqualified (ethical organizations do not use interns to do the work that paid staff should be doing ). Also, the internship requires 15 to 30 hours a week of work-- it must be 270 hours total and cannot be spread out over more than two terms--which would be hard to manage with my schedule. (I can study that much a week, but an internship would require me to be at a certain place at certain times, presumably.) I could get paid work but as I understand it, that's against the rules of the internship.

I have looked at some competency-based health science degrees, but they seem to be geared toward (or even require students to be) nurses, paramedics, and X ray technicians.

Well, I don't need this degree, so maybe I should give up the fantasy. Alternatively, I could settle for a health science associates degree from University of the People, which doesn't require an internship.

Thoughts?

Don't shoot the messenger, but I just received this for some reason:

Has anyone taking these courses? Is there any difference between the two? Given the breadth of people who may have taken these courses on this forum and the various places they may have tried to transfer them to, I'm wondering if they generally transfer to the same way.

My nephew doesn't know yet where he's going to attend so I can't give specifics on that. But I'm wondering if one of these courses is generally more "advanced" or detailed than the other, or if they both usually just transfer as a biology credit in genetics.

As previously stated, to me "DEI" is simply what we used to call Equal Opportunity. For years I've seen people referred to as the "Equal Opportunity" selection. It was wrong. Just as it's wrong to refer to the Vice President as the "DEI Candidate.' I think it's wrong to try to hurl "DEI" as an insult. Really how can Diversity, Equity, and  Inclusion not be a good thing?

"Woke" is not a new term. For decades black Americans have used the term to recognize those who are aware of racial prejudice and injustice. The term has apparently been adopted by otherers. I do not understand why people hurl the term "woke" as an insult. We should all be alert to racial prejudice and injustice!

lorida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost said on Tuesday that calling Vice President Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, a "DEI hire" was like using a "racial slur."

I agree with Congressman Frost on this issue. It's just not productive to make up these racist dog whistles. It should be simply enough to address every crazy liberal/globalist policy she has supported.

That said, I consider myself a conductor on the Trump Train. Please join me in this plea for UNITY, as we speed toward prosperity and Making America Great Agan.
