  Leveraging an existing BA for another BA?
Posted by: ezmac028 - 09-26-2024, 03:12 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

Hi folks - new forum member here and just dipping my toes into ways to quickly and efficiently get an additional degree. 

I have a BA from the University of California, Santa Barbara (College of Letters & Sciences; Film & Media Studies major - I also jumped majors a few times, so a lot of general education and humanities classes as part of that) that graduated from way back in 2007.  

Are there schools here (like "the Big Three") that will just let me skip their general education requirements based on the classes I already took from this existing BA back in the day? 

I also have a fair amount of FEMA and FEMA adjacent (eg TEEX) both in person and independent study courses too.  Is there a path to a quick degree combining this with my previous BA?

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a dumb question!

  UMPI MAOL
Posted by: kakasahib - 09-26-2024, 02:05 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello Team, 
Any suggestion for the UMPI MAOL. I recently received the UMPI yourpace BLS Degree and transfer 90 credits and completed 15 courses including 3 MAOL transfer course. 
I completed all 15 UMPI courses in 6 weeks. 
I am hoping to nail all 9 MAOL courses and i am looking for some guidance. 
The same type of guidance was very helpful where many of you suggested to submit the assignment for review and send email to advisor to open a course and start working on new course asap. 
This helped me to complete 15 courses (45) credits in 6 week. 
Appreciate any suggestion/help/advice. 
Thanks

  BACompSci Questions
Posted by: bughead - 09-26-2024, 06:37 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (7)

I'm looking into the BA CompSci degree at TESU and just had a couple of questions since I'm from Australia and aren't too familiar with the U.S school system.

  1. Should I be taking all my ACE credits first and then applying? Or should I apply and talk to a course advisor to know which credits will transfer?
  2. I've done quite a lot of research into degree hacking but wanted some clarification on the Electives portion of the degree. Can I choose any subject to complete the electives portion? For the CompSci electives, what is classified one of those? And for the Natural Sciences/Math/CompSci electives, can I choose any subject from those disciplines?
  3. I have tried to choose more enjoyable General Education subjects for myself and wondered if I'm allowed to do that.
I have also made my own spreadsheet to try to plan a full fledged program. If you had a minute to take a look I would really appreciate it. I'm really low on money and want to get everything right so I don't have to be taking unnecessary courses. 

TESU Speadsheet - I've attached it as well.

  2E Requirement Question
Posted by: klone - 09-26-2024, 01:15 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (1)

My wife has just begun her journey with Sophia Learning and UMPI, and she wants to know if she needs to complete both Art History I and II on Sophia Learning to meet the 2E requirement at UMPI. Can she take just Art History II (without Touchstones), or does she need to complete both courses?

Additionally, I would like to confirm whether Visual Communications still fulfills the 2D requirement. Thank you!

  European Center for Education in Business and Science (ECEBiS)
Posted by: Travis_CVUgrad - 09-25-2024, 07:10 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

Has anybody heard of and/or looked into European Center for Education in Business and Science (ECEBiS)? It says on their website that they're accredited by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) as a higher education institution, and it aligns with Level 8 of both the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning. I'm wondering if that is actually legit and if US academic institutions or employers recognize it.

  Got my PELL but cant get into a program . Any suggestions?
Posted by: writergirlLA - 09-25-2024, 02:38 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

So I got my PELL approved for roughly '$12,000 but I've been fighting with Upper Iowa Univery about transfer credits. They have no clue what Credly is, keep claiming they didn't receive transcripts, have been SO RUDE, have ignored my emails and I'm just sick of it. And I think that a big chunk of that PELL is now beyond its use-by date. 
I have 103 credit hours with only 6 being upper level (possibly 9, depending on a paleoanthropology course I recently finished.) I'm okay with anything in the area of liberal art (where I can choose history and anthropology courses) , interdisciplinary studies, history or anthropology. The plan is to get my Bachelor's in something that will transfer well towards a Master's later. 
I'm so frustrated and cannot find a program that I can afford, within the area of study that I need. My spouse and I are both disabled so there aren't any funds to add. I tried UMPI but their program starts in January and by then there won't be much of the PELL left. 
Any suggestions would be super appreciated.

Looking at the online Ed.D. in Leadership with the emergency management focus option as a potential doctorate program. (Cost being the largest factor)...
Does anyone have experience with the EdD. specifically or LSU Shreveport (online) generally?

  Free 1L BarBri Resource for Law Students
Posted by: Bingbong - 09-24-2024, 07:35 PM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - Replies (2)

Hello all,
Hopefully I’m posting in the right section. Mods please feel free to move if necessary.

If you are currently enrolled in Law School, a Law Office Study program, or will be applying to Law School, I recently discovered that BarBri offers free resources for 1L, and thought I’d share.

I haven’t started Law School yet, but I’ve started reviewing some of the assignments/video lectures to get an idea of what to expect.


Please find the link below.

  people who have multiple degrees
Posted by: crowbird - 09-24-2024, 04:51 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (56)

i see a lot of people here have multiple degrees ( and i am not talking about those who have two bachelors ,a master and maybe a phd)
i mean those who have 4+ 5+ degrees , i am genuinely curious as to why ? does it help you professionally/academically, do people think its overkill ? i am specifically referring to those who have multiple degree across different and unrelated fields, is it just for the joy and challenge of getting a new degree .
