Hi all. I am looking to change my career to accounting and get a bachelors of accounting degree in at most 6 months. I need help degree planning.

I already have around 60 credits that can transfer into any degree program and wave my general education requirements. I heard about the changes at UMPI, So I don't know if that's the best option for speed and finances.

I want to spend at most 5K and about 6 to 7 months getting the degree. Which one is the best option between UMPI, TESU and WGU? My issue with WGU is that it's pass and fail and that I need a grade point average for the graduate schools and the graduate programs and accounting that I want to apply to. However, after looking through the forum diligently, I've seen that quite a few people have mentioned that the education quality for the accounting degree at UMPI is lacking.

Since UMPI gutted most of the transferable ACE credits, would TESU be a better option so that I can take advantage of study.com and Sofia.com and transfer those credits? Does TESU allow for credit city transfer during the term? Or do they have to all be transferred in before the start of the ter?

Just wondering, anyone got energy and time on their hands this summer?  
Anyone interested in creating something like this or a similar tool?  

But for the main degrees and/or institutions that we recommend?
I wonder how long it would take to generate the code and host it online...

Note: There was a spreadsheet on the board, someone had created one that would auto populate when you selected the degree and institution.
I can't seem to find that post or thread with the spreadsheet link, I really liked that spreadsheet, it was awesome, but now a little outdated...

Which are all Competency-based BS CS programs?

Hello good people of the Degree Forum
I have 62 credits from Sophia and 6 from the UMN and I would like to turn it into an associates degree, but I don't qualify for UMPI or Pierpont, are there any options? or am I cooked and I just need to focus on qualifying for the BA from the DLI and getting a masters early

Basically, I locked the previous master thread as people mentioned they couldn't view the posts.
There may have been some issues with deleted posts causing this phenomenon.

Anyways, let's keep this new thread clean and neat. Yes, that means you too!
Hopefully, for everyone posting, please don't keep quoting the previous posts unless it's really needed.

Oh, here's the old master thread for reference, if you don't log into the forum, the thread should work flawlessly.

Just FYI to everyone UMPI changed their rule on adding courses. The calendar date for last day to add courses is a hard deadline no exceptions will be made. I learned this the hard way.

Here is what the email says...

Are there any degree plans for a Bachelor of Business out there? Cuz I seem to be not to find any...

Will Saylor's MBA program be nationally or regionally accredited in the future?

I just got the "masters degree" form from them, the stamp at the bottom says "SAYLOR UNIVERSITY" I think they are in the process of setting up a university, like uopeople or worldquant university

The important thing is that it is free right now, it only costs us $5 for a test and if we pass all the tests, it only costs us $65 to $75 for this degree, then we just have to sit back and wait for it to be accredited (Note that this degree is licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE) and they are in the process of moving towards national accreditation)

Hello,
I posted a while back and got some good info! I got a pierpont degree and am presently working on the 'Computer Science BSBA CIS Double Degree Plan' that was recommended. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

When the guide was written, the plan was that you would get a 'Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science', and a 'Bachelor of Science in Business Administration In Computer Information Systems'. However, TESU has since changed it so the second degree is now a 'Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems'; the 'Business Administration' part is no longer mentioned. 

I'm really liking the idea of having one degree that is ostensibly for computer science and one that is for business (even though the second one still has business classes, the name doesn't state it), instead of having a BA and a BS that both say they are for computer stuff.

The guide says:

Quote:The concentrations that are under BSBA are now Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, and Operations Management.

The concentrations that used to be Business Administration degrees and are now BS degrees are Entrepreneurship, General Management, International Business, and CIS.

Please take this as "possible" only, I still need to seek confirmation, but thought someone here may already know.

Snagging even a single "graduate level" credit, for a cost of "almost nothing" (considering its a 500 level credit), would be GOLDEN

Specific Professional Certifications ACE Evaluated for Graduate Level Credit

Based on available information and typical patterns in ACE evaluations:

• Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification (Project Management Institute - PMI):
  • The PMP is an advanced certification for project managers, requiring significant experience (typically 3–5 years) and education (a bachelor’s degree or equivalent). ACE has historically evaluated the PMP for graduate-level credit due to its rigorous content, which includes advanced topics like project risk management, stakeholder engagement, and strategic project alignment.
    
  • Credit Recommendation: Approximately 3–6 semester hours (SH) at the graduate level, often in areas like Project Management or Business Administration.
    
  • Rationale: The PMP’s focus on complex project management theories and practices aligns with master’s-level coursework in business or management programs.
    
• Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) (International Information System Security Certification Consortium - ISC2):
  • The CISSP is a globally recognized certification for cybersecurity professionals, requiring at least 5 years of experience in domains like security operations, risk management, and cryptography. ACE often recommends graduate-level credit for the CISSP because of its advanced technical and strategic content.
    
  • Credit Recommendation: Approximately 3–6 SH at the graduate level, typically in Cybersecurity, Information Assurance, or Information Systems.
    
  • Rationale: The CISSP’s depth in areas like security architecture and governance is comparable to graduate-level coursework in cybersecurity master’s programs.
    
• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Licensure (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants - AICPA):
  • The CPA licensure process involves passing a rigorous exam and meeting educational and experience requirements (typically 150 credit hours and 1–2 years of work experience). ACE has evaluated certain CPA preparatory courses or the licensure itself for graduate credit.
    
  • Credit Recommendation: Up to 6 SH at the graduate level, often in Accounting, Financial Management, or Business.
    
  • Rationale: The CPA’s advanced topics, such as auditing, taxation, and financial reporting, align with master’s-level accounting or business administration coursework.
    
• Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Certification (Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards - CFP Board):
  • The CFP certification requires a bachelor’s degree, coursework in financial planning, and passing a comprehensive exam. It covers advanced topics like estate planning, risk management, and investment strategies. ACE may recommend graduate credit for the CFP due to its complexity and alignment with graduate-level finance studies.
    
  • Credit Recommendation: Approximately 3 SH at the graduate level, typically in Financial Planning or Business.
    
  • Rationale: The CFP’s focus on strategic financial decision-making and client management mirrors graduate-level finance or business courses.
    
• Institute of Certified Bankers (ICB) Certifications (American Bankers Association - ABA):
  • The ABA offers certifications like the Certified Trust and Fiduciary Advisor (CTFA) through its Institute of Certified Bankers, which ACE evaluates. The CTFA, for example, requires advanced knowledge of trust management, fiduciary responsibilities, and financial advising, often warranting graduate credit.
    
  • Credit Recommendation: Approximately 3 SH at the graduate level, often in Finance, Banking, or Business Administration.
    
  • Rationale: The CTFA’s advanced content aligns with master’s-level coursework in financial services or business management.
