  New Sophia Course Healthcare Management
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 06-17-2025, 06:42 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (5)

ACE recommended for 3 upper-level credits starting June 1 this year, and live online now.

18 challenges, 4 milestones, no final milestone. 3 touchstones: a 750-100 word essay, an 8-12 slide show with speaker notes, and an 8-10 page strategic improvement plan for a suburban primary care clinic described in a case study.

  Computer Science Electives
Posted by: Cookbecomeingnerd - 06-17-2025, 04:37 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi all!

I realised an assumption I made may not be correct.  The assumption was it would be obvious on what would count as a elective for the BACS, however it dawned on me that this may not be the case.  

So is it anything that starts with ITS, COS, CIS, CYB, CLD counts for CS Electives in the BACS, with the 100 and 200 being LL and 300+ being UL?

Thanks!

  (HELP) Fastest Business Classes
Posted by: klone - 06-17-2025, 02:55 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

Looking for the fastest business courses offered by UMPI, ranked by the number of milestones required—1 milestone being the shortest, with more milestones indicating longer courses.

  Need Help Planning For My HS Daughter
Posted by: XNutty98 - 06-17-2025, 01:01 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

My daughter is going into her senior year and she's planning on attending LU in the Fall of 2026.

My goal is to get her at least her gen eds and possibly some electives mainly through Sophia. I have no other experience with any other platform but will look into Straighterline and others if needed.

She's not 100% on her major yet but she wants to go into Psychology (Psychologist most likely).

She hasn't taken any college level credit as of yet and attends LUOA so she has a lot of free time to do Sophia classes.

THANKS!!

  A HUGE Thank You - UMPI 8 Week Degree
Posted by: XNutty98 - 06-17-2025, 12:33 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I just wanted to express my gratitude to those here who helped me over the past year. I didn't make many posts, but I submitted my template for planning advice, followed it, and graduated from UMPI with a 4.0 in 8 weeks. When I first started this journey a year ago I thought it would take me 5+ years to get my BA. That seemed like a daunting task. Now, based on my plans, it seems I'll at least be in my PhD program within 5 years and possibly be done with it. This completely transformed my life and my outlook on my future. For those who are on the fence or thinking it will be too hard or take too long, DO IT! Just start! And once you get rolling with it, it goes by quickly and it's actually quite fun.

Thank you all!

.xlsx   TESU BSAST 2025.xlsx (Size: 19.46 KB / Downloads: 8)

Moving along oh so slowly but looking for input.

My goal is easy and quick.  

I have the next 3 months off and hope to get all ( or most) of this done by Oct so I can do the capstone by Dec.

I'm starting PHY 2 w lab Jun30 @ TESU and would like to work on testing out of what I can at the same time.  TECEP/CLEP

I think I can finish TESU classes needed for residency, Epack is still up in the air, and the rest as TECEP except Eng comp 1/2 as CLEP. But all options are in the spreadsheet. Everything is based on what I've read here. Bolded class source is what I'm leaning toward.

I'm also looking for best study materials for TECEP options.

I've attached a spreadsheet with the probable options for each class.  

All input is highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Lightbulb Fast & Cheap MBA?
Posted by: AlecO45 - 06-16-2025, 11:42 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

Good afternoon everyone, I've just submitted my final course for my BS in IT (through Capella, solid program!) and am now waiting on the degree conferral process. Some time in the near future, I'd like to start working on an MBA program to further bolster my resume (and improve career prospects). I will also give a little background on my undergrad studies. I started by knocking out Sophia courses as well as some prior coursework through WGU. I liked WGU for a while, and although the proctored exams were tiresome at times, I was able to knock out a decent chunk of courses. 

However, I withdrew from the program last year due to issues I had with their new proctoring services through ProctorU (did not like Guardian Browser software used, felt very invasive, even had proctors clicking around on my desktop and opening files once. Didn't trust the new proctors at all). I transferred in my Sophia/WGU credits into Capella and finished up the program recently. With that being said, I would prefer NOT to attend WGU due to my concerns with their proctoring services. I'm not opposed to traditional per credit universities (although I do really good with CBE programs) as long as costs remain relatively low. Curious to hear others thoughts/experiences on MBA programs?

Thank you!

Your Location: Central TX
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: MBA (I'd like an emphasis in IT field, not required though).
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 90
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 57
Any certifications or military experience?: CompTIA A+, Linux+, and Security+. Also have ISC2 CC and ITIL v4.
Budget: $12,000
Commitments: Full time job, 1 child
Dedicated time to study: 8 hours a week
Timeline: 1 year
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: $5,250 per year

  Getting Credits from SDC and Sophia on a TESU or Liberty Transcript?
Posted by: acamp - 06-15-2025, 05:04 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (10)

Hello all and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

To begin, I am NOT trying to credit launder (or whatever that phrase is). I am attempting to take as many credits on Sophia (and possibly SDC) and get them transcribed on a TESU (preferably) or a Liberty University transcript.

After I compete as many courses as I need on Sophia or SDC, can someone explain how I would get them transcribed on an official transcript from TESU or Liberty?

Thanks all in advance!!

  2nd Bachelors or Grad Cert??
Posted by: natshar - 06-14-2025, 05:01 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Work in education and have no desire to be a teacher and don't want certification. Have a bachelors in unrelated field.  Looking to get a SPED related degree that can be done without taking years. Competency based is the main format I want. (degree might even free to me with some small scholarships and potential reimbursement thorough work)

My options I found:

WGU BS Educational Studies: https://www.wgu.edu/online-teaching-degr...ogram.html
*with my prior degree and credits I have all gen eds done about 40% degree is complete
I did some research and I feel pretty confident with my experience I do all the degree in one term probably.
Cost: $3825 for 6 months

OR

UMPI Grad Cert in SPED: https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/academic_p...grad-cert/
https://catalog.umpi.edu/preview_program...7&poid=835

It's only 12 credits.
$2450 for an 8 week term (not sure I'd finish in one term, but even two terms wouldn't be bad)

Idk whats better a 12 credit graduate certificate or a second bachelors degree. What do you guys think?? What's more marketable?
