I am currently doing a Business Administration major with a Marketing concentration with only 4 courses left, and I'm thinking about adding a minor. The minors I'm considering are Psychology and/or Management as I think they could benefit me. I have already seen the requirements and I could add some additional Sophia courses but not interested in SDC.
Could anyone share their experiences with the Psychology or the Management minor? I'm curious about the workload.

Comp sci Degree [UK] |

Hello. I am a developer from the UK and want to get a comp sci degree. I've been watching youtube but I'm still a little confused:
- If I transfer credits, how much will a comp sci degree from TESU cost? In the videos I've watched, they haven't mentioned total cost.
- How much extra would it cost for a second degree? I had read that you can do a second degree with TESU for much less money. The CIS course looks good, though it's not really aimed at developers so much, I think I would enjoy doing it.
- Can the CS50 course or an AWS developer certificate be used as credits for anything?
I want to complete the degrees as fast as possible but I'd also like to get better with algorithms.
The TESU comp sci course has a lot of irrelevant subjects mixed in which will be of no use to developing; excelsior looks better in this regard. Do you know how much that would cost? I've tried looking on linkedin and it seems WGU has the most graduates in tech companies but that's not available to me, so i think I've narrowed it down to excelsior and TESU.
Thank you for your time

Accredited - On Notice |

I got an email from Pierpont about their accreditation status being changed to Accredited - On Notice. If this was already posted, apologies. Below is the body body of the email I received:
Dear Pierpont Student:
Thank you for choosing Pierpont Community and Technical College as your partner for achieving your academic and career goals. Our mission is “to provide accessible, responsive, and comprehensive education that works.” We are glad you are part of the Pierpont Pride.
Pierpont has reached an important milestone in its transition from a university college to West Virginia’s newest stand-alone community and technical college. In early July, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reaffirmed Pierpont’s accreditation and notified us where the College can improve and not risk being out of compliance. In Pierpont’s first full evaluation as a stand-alone community college, HLC affirmed our new status as Accredited—On Notice.
Accredited—On Notice means Pierpont students can graduate from an accredited college. We want you to graduate! Most colleges and universities will continue to accept college credit earned at Pierpont in transfer or for later admission to a higher degree program. However, colleges and universities define their own transfer and admission policies. It is good practice to contact any institution in question to ensure alignment between your studies and future academic plans.
We appreciate HLC guidance and note several recommendations stem from the need for a new strategic plan. A draft strategic plan has been developed and will be unveiled in August. Students and student success are at the top of our key institutional performance measures. As a result of evaluation and planning efforts, Pierpont recently reorganized Student Services staff positions and added a new position to further support student enrollment, onboarding, and advising.
For more information, please see the attached disclosure describing HLC’s action. HLC can be contacted at info@hlcommission.org or at 312.263.0456. If any questions remain, please visit Pierpont’s new accreditation webpage at http://www.pierpont.edu/about/accreditation.

UMPI Gen Eds leftover credits question |

If I only need 40 credits in my gen eds, but I have 54, will my classes be used for multiple Gen Ed checkboxes allowing more credits to go into electives?
For example, I can transfer PHI 104 Intro to Ethics at my community college and it would check the box for Gen Eds 2a, 2b, or 4c. But on my plan I have on my own Google sheet, I put PSY 101 for 2a, SOC 101 for 2b, and PHI 104 for 4c.
You are allowed to use one class for multiple gen ed requirements, you just need 40 Gen Ed credits to graduate. Since I have the possibility of transferring in 54, I think it would be a good idea to use PHI 104 for ALL THREE requirements, that way I'll still have the minimum 40, but I'll have 6 extra (PSY 101 and SOC 101) to go into Electives.
Does that make any sense? I have lots of gen eds but need more electives so I'd like them to transfer them in that way!

Hello everyone,
I am a Nigerian student with a strong passion for learning and personal development. As an avid online student, I have taken hundreds of courses in various fields, amassing over 300 undergraduate academic credits. My educational journey has been enriched by institutions like Coursera, edX, Sophia Learning, Saylor Academy, and the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).
I am eager to enroll in the YourPace program at the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) to complete my Bachelor's degree. However, due to the current economic meltdown in Nigeria, I am financially unstable and unable to afford the tuition fees.
I am reaching out to this community for recommendations on mini-scholarships or grants available for undergraduate students. Your guidance and support would be immensely helpful in achieving my academic goals.
I am committed to finishing my degree in one session, as I have all the available time to dedicate to my studies. Your assistance in finding financial support will make a significant difference in my educational journey.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Emmy
