I searched the previous few pages, and I've seen a little bit on the subject of law schools and admissions, but nothing concrete.

I imagine there would be no issue, but I would like to take more classes than I'm required to in order to get graded credits for LSAC. I have over 100 credits between RA, ACE, etc. that I will be bringing, so I only *need* 30 to graduate, but I'd like to add minors/fluff to get to a good GPA for LSAC (making up for 10 years ago) and get over 60 graded credits to get a good GPA to go with LSAC applications.

Once the requirements are met is the degree automatically conferred? LSAC only counts credits *before* the first bachelor's degree.

Thanks in advance. I've been lurking here since 2020 and should have jumped into this back then... looks like things have gotten more difficult and I've only put off my own progress.

Hi there, 

Can anyone help me to find the equivalent of these TESU courses that I can take elsewhere without sitting through a whole semester? These are the courses I need (besides the 2 tesu required courses) to finish the B.A Lib Studies/HR degree. Im looking for easy, fast and cheap, in that order! haha!

MAN-3310 Human Resources Management 3 credits
MAN-4150 Change Management 3 credits
MAN-3110 Organizational Behavior 3 credits
MAN 4250 - Advanced Organizational Management 3 credits
PSY 3600 - Organizational Theory 3 credits
PSY 3630 - Industrial Psychology 3 credits

Your Location: Denmark
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer science or alike
Credits:
Budget: No budget
Commitments: No commitments
Dedicated time to study: Full time, as much as possible
Timeline: done as soon as possible. No longer than 1.5 years.

I have completed the following courses in an unfinished applied math degree:

Linear algebra
Discrete math
Numerical analysis
Combinatorial mathematics
Differential equations 1
Mathematical statistics
Algorithms and data structures
Measure theory
Computational statistics
Scientific programming

112,5 ECTS, GPA: 3.5 average.

Right now im considering SNHU india or TESU double major CS/CIS or CS/MATH.
For SNHU im worried about the max transfer credit, as i see mentioned. Will i be able to
transfer 90 credits? Otherwise it will take too long to complete.

Are there any other options for international students? Is metropolis still an option? I
Don't see it mentioned in many other threads.

I plan to study a master in data science afterwards, so there might be another undergraduate
which is more fitting, and where i can get credit for my math/stat courses. Will I even be
able to get credit for completed courses at a university in Denmark?

How do i tackle this? Do i just pick a sample degree plan from the wiki and go study?
I'm overwhelmed by information and unsure which questions to ask

Does anyone know any masters programs that i can finish within 6 months, online, self paced, and has letter grades for transcript? It can be any program

UMPI officially announced today that they are accepting students for the brand new BS in Healthcare Administration! Yes it is on YourPace. New students will start Spring 1 which is January.

I started taking courses at Excelsior and brought in decades worth of credits. i ended up needing 10 classes which i should hopefully finished after summer. Working full-time and a busy home life with my kids I figured eight week courses was perfect. I'd do one course every eight weeks. 

i loved the IND class. I learned so much and increased my confidence as a returning student especially with writing papers.

Since then I'm finding it a mixed bag. 

I took a course in tech writing with a teacher who seemed to not know how to communicate clearly and anything he wrote me either as answers to questions made no sense and did not help me at all. I couldn't wait to finish the course. I did learn about an important research topic but that had zero to do with the content of the course only that we had to write a science paper about some topic so I picked a topic that I wanted to learn. 

I then had this wonderful intro to personal communication courese (comm 210) and the teacher was good and the class was designed well aside from one problem: nobody in my group wanted to actually have constructive communication and whenever I brought stuff up nobody responded and it made for a very frustrating experience. One person decidedto be the leader and post but she did it before everyone was ready and also didn't post correct information all the time. That said I learned a lot because the assignments were designed well and the textbook was excellent. 

So i'd like to say that I'm learning a lot in Comm 324 but because the class is designed badly, the teacher basically as bad as the tech writing one where he does not respond to any questions I have this class and a textbook that uses a lot of awkward and unwieldly language I can't wait to finish this class. 

So the real reason I'm posting is if I were younger and doing this again I would not take courses through Excelsior. They don't include the instructor information so you can't even check who the instructor is while registering to do see if there's research about them. So by design you never know if you're going to get a great class or a really frusrating one. 

That sad I am getting my degree soon, but I wanted to enjoy the experience. if the school spent as much on resources with other classes that they spent on the ones everyone takes and they worked harder on ensuring the instructors were competent this would be a much better school.

Hi guys, Long time lurker and first time poster here. 

I am interested in becoming a lawyer eventually and I have my eye set on a top 5 law school. I have looked around a fair bit and haven't been able to find anyone who has went to a top 5 law school from UMPI. I am aware of someone on these forums who is currently going to Cornell law who attended TESU first but that does seem to be more of an exception. 

I am getting older (mid 30's) so accelerating through my bachelors anyway I can is ideally what I am looking for while still being able to get into a specific law school. If that can save me a year or two that's okay with me. I don't think hacking my bachelors via Sophia and study.com will necessarily work in my case but I guess I was more considering going to UMPI for 60 / 70 credits at an accelerated pace and then transferring to a brick and mortar for the other 50 / 60 credits. 

I know UMPI is Regionally accredited, but I am just wondering if this will work out? Will it be easy to transfer out credits from UMPI to a more recognizable brick and mortar university? any challenges you foresee doing it this way?

Thoughts? 

Thanks guys!

Hi All,

My adult kiddo applied to Pierpont before the October 2024 deadline and received a letter of acceptance a few weeks ago.  We've logged into her account but there is no ROAR link.

To try to not overload Dave or the registrar, any advice is appreciated.  It looks she needs one more 3 credits to graduate.  Can you offer a suggestion?

SOPHIA TRANSCRIPT is showing the credits listed below.

Any credits for this? I think I saw Pierpont does not give credit for this class however, it'd be nice confirm it. There are 3 credits of the Credly transcript, though I know that is meaningless when it comes to what a specific college/uni will accept.

Foundations of College Algebra (CA0050).


GEN ED Requirements:
1. Visual Communications (VISCOMM1001 - 2019), 3 credits

2. College Algebra (CA1001 - 2019),  3 credits
3. Human Biology (HumBio1001), 3 credits

4. U.S. History II (HIST1002), 3 credits

5. Introduction to Information Technology (CS1001), 3 credits

15 GEN ED credits


ELECTIVES:  
6. Introduction to Web Development (CS1005 - 2020), 3 credits
7. Introduction to Ethics (PHIL1002), 3 credits
8. Introduction to Statistics (STAT1001 - 2018), 3 credits
9. Art History I (ARTHIST1001 - 2021), 3 credits
10. Introduction to Relational Databases (CS1011 - 2021), 3 credits
11. Ancient Greek Philosophers (PHIL1001 - 2021), 3 credits
11. Introduction to Networking (CS1015), 3 credits
12. Google IT Support Professional Certificate, 15 credits
13. Environmental Science (ENVS1001 - 2021), * it should show 3 credits but appears to be truncated on the last page of the transcript* - strange!


14. The Essentials of Managing Conflict (CONRES1000 - 2020), 1 credit
15. IT Career Exploration (CS1003), 1 credit

41 ELECTIVE credits


RA CREDIT:
16.  ASU CIS-194 Business Technology Fundamentals, 1 credit (pending credit on transcript)

1 RA CREDIT

Total credits 57, so far.


Questions:
Has anyone had any of these credits denied by Pierpont?

Can you suggestion a quick Sophia class without Touchstones that can be done in a few day or week?  I know quickly is subjective, but she'll have to decide to which option she can focus on an get through this week.


Thank you!

Hey everyone!

On the route to finishing my bachelors at UMPI......I transferred in 2 MAOL courses from previous work the BUS 353 and BUS 440..... I was understanding these transferred in will apply to the MAOL but now I am being told they will need to be retaken at UMPI to have them transfer up to the MAOL.........Does anyone have first hand experience with what is correct?


Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently finishing up SOS-1100 and getting ready to register next month for the business capstone January cohort. I’m trying to decide between Online and Guided Study, and I emailed advising to ask for the Guided Study syllabus since only the Online syllabus is posted on their website. This is the response I received from Donald: “The syllabus is the same for both versions of the course. The only difference between the two is interaction with classmates. Online versions of courses have you interact with classmates through discussion forums. Guided Study courses do not have interaction with your classmates. You may still be required to post to a discussion forum, but you do not comment on classmates' postings.”

From what I have read on here, it seems like the Guided Study version of the business capstone has separate written assignments instead of just discussion forums without replies. Also, I’ve read several times on here that the assignments/exam/projects in Guided Study are weighted differently than in Online. Wouldn’t there be two different syllabuses if Guided Study doesn’t contain discussion forums and the assignments are weighted differently? The syllabus he is saying is the only one for the capstone currently says 15% for discussions, 35% for case studies, 25% for midterm exam, 5% for E-Proficiency, and 20% for final project. Did TESU change the Guided Study capstone recently? Maybe I’m just misinterpreting his email, but I’m very confused.

Also, would anyone be willing to post the course calendar for the business capstone? Or just a rough idea of what/how much is due each week? I know they can change the calendar so it won’t be 100% accurate for my upcoming cohort, but having just a rough idea would be really helpful in scheduling the medical treatments I have to travel for next year. 

Thank you everyone! I’ve had a great experience with TESU so far, and I highly recommend mentor Dr. Phillip Wagner for SOS-1100. He is very helpful and kind, and he leaves detailed, constructive feedback on every assignment.
