| Recognition of UMPI YourPace in Egypt and Other Countries |

Hello everyone,
I’m an international student from Egypt considering the UMPI YourPace online program. I’ve researched the program and accreditation process in Egypt and wanted to hear from other international students about their experiences.
My main concerns are:
- The program is fully online. Could this raise questions about its legitimacy with degree equivalency committees?
- A significant portion of credits comes from alternative sources (e.g., Sophia, Study.com). Does this appear on the transcript, and should I proactively address it with the committee?
I’ve read on the Egyptian Supreme Council of Universities' website that degree recognition is determined case by case after completion, as long as the granting institution is accredited. However, my mother, a college professor, believes that fully online degrees may not be taken seriously by the equivalency committee. I don’t want to invest time and effort into earning a degree only to find out it isn’t accredited in my country, as I don’t plan on relocating.
If you’ve gone through this process in Egypt or elsewhere, I’d appreciate your insights on how your degree was evaluated
Thank you!

I spoke with my advisor this morning. She waived the 100 credit requirement so I will begin Capstone and 1101 in February. My degree plan is for Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Humanities.
I sent her a list of my Sophia and Study.com courses for her to approve. Do you see any courses that should be taken at Study.com vs Sophia or vice versa or are there any Study.com courses that are especially fast that I could do instead of a Sophia course or two?
Here's what I sent her:
Sophia Learning:
To satisfy the Upper Level Humanities Credits:
Ancient Greek Philosophy 3 credits
Visual Communication 3 credits
Conflict Resolution 3 credits
To satisfy required courses not yet taken:
Into to College Mathematics 3 credits
Intro to Ethics 3 credits
To satisfy Gen Ed Electives:
Essentials of Managing Conflict 1 credit
Art History II 3 credits
Intro to Nutrition 3 credits
Study.com:
To satisfy required courses not yet taken:
Presentation Skills 3 credits
Total credits from Sophia & Study.com: 25 credits
TESU Courses required:
Capstone (registered for February start) 3 credits
1101 (registered for February start) 3 credits
Transfer credits already accounted for: 89 credits
Total of all credits listed above: 120 credits
My goal is to graduate in June and we discussed that. As long as I transfer these credits by May 1st she said I would be fine. I'm getting busy tonight! I'm very excited and motivated.
Thanks!

| Second History Minor UL Recommendations? |

I'm doing the yourpace BLS with MIS, and for my UL electives I believe I can get a second minor in History by taking 4 UL HTY courses.
Which HTY classes are the fastest (or easiest) to complete, e.g. amount of milestones, etc.?
Here's my tentative electives for reference:
- POS 343: Marxism
- HTY 313 Early Modern Europe
- HTY 370: Arab Israeli
- HTY 456: Cold War Films
- HTY 489: Special Topics in History
Questions:
- Would you recommend taking different HTY courses than above, i.e. goal is to finish in one term (maybe two)?
- POS 343: Heard this is a relatively quick class is this still true? (I know not HTY)
- HTY 456: Read this is long, but it looks very interesting. Could someone elaborate on the actual course load, i.e. how many movies?
- HTY 489: Also, read this one is relatively quick, but at first glance I would of thought this would be a difficult course.
Thanks!

Hello, I would like to get some advice regarding the following issue. I am pursuing a bachelor of arts in mathematics at TESU and I am close to completing 100 credits. There are 7 other courses I need : Calculus 3, Linear algebra, English composition 2, Public Speaking, 2 upper level math courses, capstone. Does anyone know where to find upper level math courses whicha are cheap and self-paced? I took a D in History of mathematics at tesu and need to fix my gpa, however this course starts in April which would make it not possible to take cal 3 this March at tesu. Can I transfer 2 upper level math courses outside( if I find them) so that this history of math course doesn't apply towards my degree and as a result not count toward gpa at tesu? ( Also, What are the easiest upper level math courses at tesu?

I've looked through most of the wiki but I'm struggling to figure out what the cheapest option would be for filling a couple of required courses before applying to a master's degree program at ULF.
The required courses are (no labs required)
- General Biology (2 semesters)
- General Chemistry (2 semesters)
- Organic Chemistry (1 semester)
According to their advisors there's not any option for me to test out of these requirements, they want actual course completions. Their suggestion was to take the courses at UC San Diego's extension program. But the cost is just way too high for me. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.

Hey There! I’ve been out of college for about 6 years or so. Im going back to UMPI in March for the summer semester. I’ve transferred over 90 credits from my previous university and am doing the BLS with a minor in History. I’m really self doubting myself that I’m gonna be too stupid for these classes and that I’m going to fail. Can anyone provide tips or encouragement to help ease my mind just worried the classes are going to be to hard and I won’t be able to comprehend anything. Thanks

So I came across this Reddit thread from a year ago where someone claimed they completed a master’s in a month. I assume this was the Tempo program. [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/comments/15pkww6/comment/jvy8hir/][/url]
Now, WGU has been discussed quite frequently in the forum, but particularly alarming is this individual claiming they breezed through the instructional & design program in such a short time - 1/3 of a term, and that one of the classes involved basic photoshop skills…
Can anyone confirm if this is true? If it is, it doesn’t sound like you can learn anything at all…

I'm transferring 89 credits from a 4 year university to TESU. They have accepted those courses and this is what I have remaining to finish my degree:
Capstone
1101 Fact, Fiction Course
Basic Math Course
Public Speaking
Ethics
Humanities Upper Level Courses 9 Credits remaining
General Ed Electives 7 Credits remaining
I'm speaking with my advisor tomorrow and want to plan out how to complete these remaining credits by April 15th to apply for the June graduation. I need to graduate in June for a position which begins in August.
Here's what I am considering:
Take Capstone & 1101 through TESU beginning February 3rd.
Sophia for the remaining courses because they will be easier to complete there than through TECEP or TESU.
Here are the Sophia courses I have chosen to fulfill the requirements:
Intro to College Math 3
Public Speaking 3
Intro to Ethics 3
For Humanities Credits:
Ancient Greek Philosophers 3
Studying Religions 3
Critical Thinking 3
For Gen Ed:
Visual Communications 3
Essentials of Managing Conflict 1
Workplace Communication 3
Do these courses transfer to TESU? Per the Sophia website, they seem to transfer. Will my advisor be able to confirm these courses will work for my degree plan? Any other suggestions?
I realize I will have to pay the waiver, I am fine with that. The timeline is of the utmost importance.
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Thanks! Shannon
