Hi,

I have done a few courses with SDC and have a few more to do but because I am not a new member I cannot take the advantage of their promo (70 something USD for new members).

Would setting up a new account with SDC work? Are there are issues/problems I should be aware of before doing it? I would love to save the money but on the other hand I do not want to be banned from the SDC as I have a few more courses to do with them.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Wilmington University is launching a new online MS in Computer Science with a choice of concentration in either Data Science or Software Engineering.

Students without a computer science, technology, or similar bachelor's degree can complete four undergraduate courses to qualify to enter.

Under Wilmington's Dual-Credit Advantage program, students in an eligible Wilmington bachelor's program can incorporate master's-level courses that will apply to both their bachelor's and their master's. For the MSCS, "Eligible undergraduate programs include the BS in Computer Science, the BS in Game Design and Development, the BS in Web Design, the BS in Information Systems Management, the BS in Applied Technology and the BS in Cybersecurity." (And at the undergraduate level, Wilmington is relatively friendly to alt-credit and prior learning assessment.)

Hi all, I am a doctorate student in a rather specialized program. I will not mention the topic, as it's very unique, and I don't want to badmouth the university, but I'm wondering if anyone has run into this unique situation.

This school provides the option of either a dissertation or publication route, with the publication option having required acceptance of three research articles into peer-reviewed journals approved by one's chair. Over the past two years, I have only been able to afford two of the 10 required courses, thanks to career/family financial struggles, but have kept working with my doctoral chair intermittently and managed to have three articles accepted into peer-reviewed journals approved by my chair. Fast forward almost three months later, and I am about to present this research orally for the second time at an upcoming conference, yet cannot get in touch with my chair, and had both the former doctoral dean and graduate advisor also stop communicating even when I offered to pay off the required remaining eight courses (these courses have no content aside from working toward the final deliverables).

Since then, the new doctoral dean also seems to have vanished in communication, and I checked back to find that the publication requirement specification on their website no longer goes into detail about articles or journals - only one mention of "dissertation/publication". So in a nutshell, I am not particularly wanting to pay $48k for courses that - aside from the defense course - are virtually moot, now that the articles have already been accepted. Above all, I definitely don't want to pay that amount without a guaranteed pass at this point.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue, and if so, how did you handle it? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if Thomas Edison State University still accepts Study dot com credits towards their computer science degree or any other degree?
Specifically,  I am trying to find out if the following courses can be done on SDC
COS - 2410 Data Structures 
MAT - 2700 Discrete Mathematics 
COS - 2400 Operating Systems
COS - 3300 Computer Architecture

If anyone also knows alternative ways to get these credits please let me know?

Have no doubt, the remaining lawfare cases will soon go away. 

I fully expect the Manhattan conviction to soon be vacated.

Winning.   

My husband is looking into getting into data science but wants a degree instead of being self-taught and prefers a CBE program. I know about WGU but am trying to find other programs to consider. He wants a bachelors and then ultimately move on to a master's. I've seen a lot of self-paced, but they aren't really CBE that i can tell (they seem to be used interchangeably but dont really seem comparable?). I've gone cross-eyed at this point researching and am looking for y'all's help. I'm essentially looking for a list of programs instead of degree plans, but can fill out the template if needed.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I'm currently a student in the YourPace program at UMPI, working towards completing my Business degree. Due to residency requirements, I need to complete three more courses directly through UMPI. 

I've transferred many courses and have met all the necessary requirements for my degree, except for this residency condition. I'm looking for recommendations on the easiest courses available at UMPI, as I want to complete them without expending too much energy. These courses can be completely unrelated to the business field.

If anyone has any suggestions for courses that are known to be less demanding or particularly straightforward, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Here we go again. Some background info on me...

- 45-year-old empty nester. Been in IT for 25+ years, mostly in desktop support/network administration.
- Current WGU BS Cybersecurity/Info Assurance student. (Almost done, but halfway considering a switch over to BSBA IT Management. lol)
- Most recently a sales engineer for the biggest networking vendor out there (rhymes with "disco"). It was my first time doing sales or anything really "business"-y. I was not great at it but I think I could be, and that side now intrigues me, so...
- Want to further my security education on the policy/business/legal side
- Would likely do best with a more "traditional" structure. CBE has not been great for me.
- Would rather not mess with GRE/GMAT


My thoughts go in one of three directions: IT/cyber-focused MBA, business/policy-focused MS in cyber, or cyber-focused Master of Legal Studies. (I REALLY love the idea of MLS, but I've seen where folks think it's useless and have read through a similar thread here.) Wondering if any of y'all have any thoughts or suggestions on which lane to consider more heavily, particular programs in any of these lanes, or even something I haven't necessarily thought of yet.

(FYI, my current top choices are the policy track of GaTech's online MS in Cybersecurity, Cleveland State University College of Law's MLS in Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, and UTK's MS in Business Cybersecurity. And despite my not really loving CBE, coming back to WGU for the MSCSIA or MBA in IT Management are also on the table. lol)

Any thoughts?
