Hello again all, and thanks to everyone who gave me advice earlier this year! I'm on track to complete my BLS-CJ, History, Poli Sci degree from UMPI this session. So here I am, back for round two- looking for a master's degree.

I've completed 55 Sophia/Coursera credits since January and 21 UMPI credits (3 classes left to complete this term). I figured I should keep the momentum going and keep using my GI Bill.

Your Location: North Dakota, USA
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: Master's Degree OR an accelerated dual Bachelor/Master. I'd like to avoid hardcore business topics (I haven't found them particularly interesting). I was thinking Criminal Justice (not the most transferable degree outside my current career) or a STEM field (beneficial inside/outside my current career)

I have considered Walden's CBE Tempo Master's in Criminal Justice (not the biggest fan of for-profit schools). I have also considered WGU, possibly the BSIT-MSIT accelerated degree to gain some knowledge and skill that is outside my wheelhouse. 

Current Regional Accredited Credits:

A mess of Gen Eds and CJ courses from several schools, equal to 60 or so credits (none that would be transferable to a Masters)

However, from UMPI I have:
Vietnam Wars
Arab-Israel Conflicts
History of Infectious Disease
Intl Relations & Modern Conflicts (in progress)
CJ Ethics
Research Methods
Criminology
Police & Policing
Modern Political Thought (in progress)
Constitutional Law (will be starting that this week hopefully)

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:

Sophia: 
Intro to Ethics
Art History 1
Project Manage
College Algebra
Intro to IT
Visual Comms
Business Comms
Environ Sci
Microbiology
Workplace Writing 2
U.S. History I
U.S. History II
Intro to Soc
Spanish 1
Human Biology
Human Biology Lab

Coursera
Google PM Professional Cert


Any certifications or military experience?
Army 68W Healthcare Specialist 
ND Peace Officer License
ND POST Board Instructor
NREMT EMT-Basic

Budget: Flexible. I have approximately 15 months of Post-9/11 GI Bill (60%) left.

Commitments: I work full-time in Law Enforcement, subject to call-outs and long days. However, I've been very successful in managing my time.

Dedicated time to study: I can study a few hours per day when I work. I can do several hours on days off.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as quickly as possible. Ideally within the next year or so, however I can slow it up to about 15 months.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: GI Bill

Thanks again!

Can I only choose what is officially offered or can I do something like BLS with minors in English and History?

Hello!                                                                                                           I am working on completing requirements for a Bachelor of Arts History/Political Science with Political Science concentration from UMPI. I was just wondering if anyone could confirm that study.com course name HIS 108 History of Vietnam War is granted credit towards the major. And because there are so many other history courses, would any other study.com History course count towards the major and not just elective credit? (I see Poli Sci concentration requires 9 credits of history which I was planning to complete US History I, US History II at Sophia and looking for the third History course I could complete) 

I also have read that UMPI doesn't accept Saylor courses? I was thinking of completing Comparative Politics if they do, possibly.....

Thank you!!! 

I could not find an actual discussion about the current price increase here, just some comments in other discussions back in May.

Hi I am currently studying for a bachelor's degree in theology at NationsU, and I would like to transfer some of religion credits. NationsU is accredited by NA, and they only accept transfer credits from officially recognized institutions (NA or RA). I have asked them, and they said that ACE cannot be transferred in, and they only accept military credits for ACE credits. So I wanted to get some religion credits from another institution and transfer.
I found this organization: https://www.christianleadersinstitute.or...on-status/
Christian Leaders Institute holds candidate status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation, 5850 T. G. Lee Blvd., Ste. 130, Orlando, FL 32822, 407.207.0808. Candidate status is a pre-accreditation status granted to those institutions that meet the ABHE Conditions of Eligibility and that possess such qualities as may provide a basis for achieving accreditation status within five years.
Click here to view Christian Leaders Institute on ABHE’s directory.
Click here to view Christian Leaders Institute on the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs. 

It can be found in the U.S. Department of Education's Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs, and it has ABHE accreditation. Is one of these two accreditations equivalent to NA?
Thanks for your hlep!

Still going through my degree plan but I’d like if there was a way for me to get my current credits evaluated just to make sure everything is transferring how I planed.

Can I do that before actually applying for the BAS ?

The website and emails I’m getting don’t make it clear.

I am sorry if this was asked before. I tried searching for answers but I am getting contradicting answers.

I plan to take the BABA from UMPI and later use this degree to apply for a brick-and-mortar graduate program, so the GPA and transcript matter to me.

But some of my Sophia courses got really low grades... like 75

My question is, from UMPI, does the transcript show pass/fail or the actual grade number?

Thank you guys.

I’m planning to enroll in UMPI’s History & Political Science, Political Science Concentration, B.A. program. My goal is to transfer 90 credits through Sophia. 

The Attachment is my degree plan, with three tables corresponding to General Education Requirements, Political Science Requirements, and General Electives.

Could you please let me know if this plan looks reasonable? Is there anything that could be improved, or do you have any suggestions for me?

Describing Spanish Titulo Propio on CV

I have been wondering how to list a Spanish Titulo Propio on CV similar to this example...

Harvard  University
Accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education

Maybe like this...

Escuela de Negocios Europea de Barcelona (ENEB)
Authorized under Spanish Royal Decree XX/XXXX

I want something accurate and truthful. 

Anyone remember which Royal decree?
