  Starting at Uofpeople Computer science
Posted by: Victoriasmom - 04-02-2025, 08:05 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (15)

I'm taking 1 class at a time while I transfer everything that I can in. 

I'm half way through google ux certificate and just started the IBM Full stack development certificate. I know the UX certificate transfers as web development 1&2 but does the Full stack development certificate transfer in as tech electives or anything? 

My goal is to take human computer interaction at WGU or the MSIT at Uofpeople ( whichever I can afford at the time) and become a UX designer/Engineer. I was going to go to UMPI for BLS minor psychology but I just don't have the money for that. I'm applying for scholarship to Uofpeople.

Google certificates are free to me and coursera monthly is a stretch but I may be able to cover with financial aid.  Sophia for a month I can swing but that's the most I can spend. I'm also doing Aleks for the required math (It's $20/month and I'll need more then the 9 weeks to learn math). So is it worth transferring in the full stack certificate and doing Sophia or is it better if I just take everything at Uofpeople? Will the IBM full stack certificate even transfer in? also have 9 GE classes to transfer in. Is there other google certifications that transfer in? Which ones are best? 

I wanted to go to a self paced school to get done fast but that isn't going to happen. I'm worried about my ability to take 4 classes a semester and keep a 4.0. So I'm going to do self paced programs and transfer them in as I can. I'm disabled so I have VERY little free income and I have no financial aid left. I spent the early part of my 20's failing out of school after school. Passing 9 classes in 5.5 years. This is my last chance for a degree and to get out of poverty. I'm smart enough to do this but I have to be smart on how I go about it.

Now your probably thinking if you failed so hard when younger your "not college material" and "why bother spending the little money you have if your disabled" but even if I get my masters and I can't work traditionally (I'm hoping to land a part-time remote job even if it pays $450 a week) I can volunteer as a teacher at Uofpeople to give myself more purpose. So I'm not on a timeline but I am 40. I feel the best case scenario is that I take 2 classes a semester with the 9 week time table which would take about 3 years.

Any suggestions help sorry for the book.

  Liberty University Portfolio Credit
Posted by: smf6824 - 04-01-2025, 07:58 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (1)

Anyone ever use liberty university portfolio assessment to ascertain credit on the graduate level? If so can you break down the process you went through. On a curious note I wonder if the advanced certificate from the 100 million learner program can be applied here instead of paying ASU like 1500 or something like that.                          https://www.liberty.edu/online/credit-ex...portfolio/

  Tecep scholarship announcement- followed by takeback
Posted by: MoeSizzle323 - 04-01-2025, 02:53 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Has anyone gotten a notice of free TECEP tests "by mistake"? I've seen others post that they do free teceps sometimes. Got a message saying:   Congratulations on your admission to Thomas Edison State University! We are delighted to share more good news from TESU: You qualify to take up to two (2) TECEP exams at no cost for the April term!

Scholarship Terms:

This scholarship was made possible by the 'Some College, No Degree' Institutional Grant and is dependent on available funds for the April 2025 term, which begins Monday, April 7, 2025. Registration for the April term is open. First come, first served!

Please note: this scholarship can only be used for the tuition cost of up to two (2) general education TECEP exams in this term and is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Financial responsibility for any other courses registered outside of TECEP exams will be the financial responsibility of the student followed by a second email after I applied :
an email regarding a TECEP scholarship was unintentionally sent out earlier this morning. Please note that, if you received such email, it was sent in error and should be disregarded. 
Please accept our apology for any inconvenience this may have caused
I am guessing it's a new students only offer? Would've been helpful when I started smh.

  Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program
Posted by: SophiaPrincess - 04-01-2025, 12:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (14)

I had planned to pursue an MBA or Master's in Management after completing my Bachelor's degree in business and teach business as a career. I have been advised Pell Grants can be used to pay for a Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification as long as no degree is awarded. Thanks to Sophia, I am graduating with two years of Pell Grant eligibility remaining. 

I'd like to find an online, Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program, at a regionally accredited college, that will allow me to take graduate business courses ( cross registration??? ), as well as the requisite education courses, in pursuit of my teacher certification using my Pell Grant. Hopefully, the tuition will be very affordable and the business courses could be transferred to an MBA program at a later date. Ideally, the graduate program offering the business courses will be accredited by AACSB but I can live without it.


Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  I'm hoping get help to figure out how to finally finish
Posted by: nevsage - 04-01-2025, 08:56 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (9)

A big hello to all and many thanks in advance, 

I've been on the site on and off for 7 years or so.  I made an attempt to get a degree back then but having a child and then the whole Covid thing delayed it all. My son  is now in kindergarten and I have more time for studies so I've decided to get back to it.   My goal is to get a undergrad bachelors degree, so I can get my teachers’s certification.  I'm an ESL teacher now. 

Quickest route possible but some sort of educational focus would be good.  Business or management is ok too. UPMI seems like a good fit if it’s still possible to transfer in 90 credits and I can finish the last credits in 2-4 months. Sophia is a good match for me at this point for the rest of my 90 credits. 

Any guidance or a specific plan would be very helpful and appreciated.
