University of Lynchburg Transformation |

I hate seeing any legitimate institution suffer for any reason.
I wonder:
1. Does every tertiary institution of learning have to call itself a university?
2. What is the right amount of programs of study?
3. At what point does the tertiary education market place become oversaturated? The Commonwealth of Virginia and the greater Lynchburg area itself are a case in point.
4. Will the number of distance learning only tertiary institutions displace the number of traditional bricks and mortar ones.
I'm praying for and wishing the best for everyone involved with the University of Lynchburg.

Hello DegreeForum! I want to thank everyone here for your love and support you give the community. I was here about 18 months ago seeking advice for my daughter and it made a world of difference. Thus now at the next stage in her journey, I am back to explore options.
She has completed with honors 2x B.Sci degrees.
She would like to do a Masters in Cyber Security then a Doctorate in Computer Science, if possible.
She is planning to do Harvard Extension School's Masters for Com Sci, but I don't think this will qualify her for any doctorate programs, but if it does then that would be a huge win!
She is 19 and wanting to complete these as quickly as possible and on the best budget possible. Anyone have some possible ideas and suggestions?
Again, thank you all SO MUCH!

Prior Learning Art Portfolio Assessment |

I have 190 credits, I already have my BOG and am going theUMPI route.
I’ve been in contact with all of my local community colleges, and they offer PLA prior learning assessments.
I started my academic journey at a private art school 15 years ago so I have my freshman, credits, out-of-the-way.
Despite having so many credits if I ever want to finish it up, I’m still a freshman at an art school. And all the methods to get cheap credit don’t really offer art credits (saylor, study, Sophia)
If it’s helpful for you to get an idea here is my design résumé
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1no-BdhORTq8Z4IUiVF8hhIerqDxA7ozZHN8Ri-QeY84
so I’ve contacted all the community colleges and I can do a portfolio review, but I would have to do a residency and I have so many credits that it doesn’t exactly make sense. Again this is at the associates level.
Knowing all that what advice do you have.
I would like to knock out some color theory typography ace or NCCRS credits if you know of any, or if I could go through portfolio reviews, tell him give me to the senior level somewhere.

Is UMPI a good fit for my case? |

Hey all,
I've been lurking, reading, wrestling and trying to figure out if UMPI is better for me than EU to complete my degree. I have to leave my current online degree program because they are winding it down. I have no problem with writing, am very disciplined, generally am able to study as much as I need but I am dyslexic. I have reading/writing software to assist me.
At first I was convinced that EU was the better match because I could get the rest of my LL credits from Sophia and add in the UL from wherever, but after reading on both boards, I'm wondering if UMPI isn't a better match. I'm not thrilled that EU has added that extra fee for TF after admission and I will def. be subject to that fee. Even though I'm not afraid, necessarily, of the capstone, I'm not certain. The language requirements from UMPI seem more daunting than the capstone tbh cuz of the dyslexia. I get that I have to make that decision for myself if the dyslexia is a bigger factor for me with languages.
Feedback would be great as well as some direction on how to proceed with getting the requisite "gen ed" for UMPI if that's the one I'm committing to. I think I am ONLY missing 1 math, 1 ethics, 2 sciences (Biology w/lab, environ. sci.) but am unsure if I need the visual communication or the US govt (all from Sophia). But maybe I am not reading UMPI requirements correctly. Then add the language courses (need 6).
However, with EU I would need quite a bit more to get to the 113. Although it's only another month or two with Sophia it's paying for more UL through some other platform which I'm loathe to do.
And yes, there are credits which will need evaluation from NACES, so I don't want to test out which uni will give me a better combo because, again, more money out of pocket.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a question about VERN' and Brittany University DBA degree. Because today I was talking to a agent from Upgrad that if I already have MBA degree. It will only take me 1 year to get the DBA degree from VERN' and Brittany University.
Here are my questions:
1) Are VERN' DBA it self will recognized as regional accredited in the U.S?
2) The doctorate degree it self Brittany University count as regional accredited in the U.S?
3) If both count as regional accredited in the U.S. That mean I will have two doctorate degree as regional accredited or only count one degree as regional accredited?
4) Is it legal to call yourself a DR? Unlike the UCAM DBA.
5) Do you guys know any other DBA's offer double or triple doctorate degree at the same time? It must be online. I'm asking because Brittany University doesn't seem too promising to me.
