Should I even bother applying to UMPI? I'm a transfer student with ~42 credits towards electrical engineering, but I'm trying to speed run a degree, I don't care much what it's in. I'm in Maine. I heard that ETAMU (formerly known as Texas A&M - Commerce) is also a great option.
I have yet to explore Straighterline, Sophia, or Study.com, but am looking forward to doing so and getting this done. Thank you

I've searched here but did not come up with much for what courses will transfer in to fulfill the 18 credits of Computer Science electives needed for the ASNSM (AS) in Computer Science.

The following transfer to TESU but will they apply to the 18 credits of Computer Science electives?

Sophia:
Introduction to Information Technology (CIS-1070 Computer Concepts and Applications)
Introduction to Java Programming (COS-1110 Introduction to Programming)
Introduction to Networking (ITS-1400 Introduction to Networking)
Introduction to Programming in Python (ITS-1500 Computer Programming I)
Introduction to Relational Databases (ITS-1300 Database Fundamentals)

TEEX:
AWR 168 Foundations of Cyber Crimes (CYB-121 Legal Aspects of Cybersecurity)
AWR 174 Cyber Ethics (CYB-122 Ethical Aspects of Cybersecurity)

Thanks

I'm interested in hearing the groups answers to who they think are in the top 5 schools in terms of:

which has the most course transfer options

which has the lowest per credit hour tuition

which CBE schools are the fastest

etc.


Also. I know Modern States is good for CLEP and I know about the ACE and NCCRS courses you can take, but where are some of the best places to find other microcertifications and full certificates that can be transferred into schools?

I'm looking for general knowledge not for a specific degree or school. Thanks.

I'm thinking of taking Elementary Spanish I (SPA-1010) at TESU for an elective. Has anyone taken this? How hard is it for someone who is a beginner in Spanish?

I'm looking for recommendations as to which Institution to leverage my current credits towards a Bachelor's degree as quickly as possible due to a job opportunity.

Like an onion, this area/topic seems to have layers 

As I've been exploring this site, I've learned a lot.  I'm very much interested in the ability to take these non-US based platforms and FCE them into grad certs and credits here in the US, so like many (I assume), I started with ENEB (I'd rather have the inexpensive college credit/certs than spend the same $ for something like Coursera, edX, etc).  Personally I have had a great experience with them with no complaints at all.  That said, I wanted more options than just business related programs so I started searching and found Masstercursos.  I'm probably 90% sold on them being my next platform, but I continued to search and found Woolf and eMagister.  Unlike ENEB and Masstercursos, Woolf and eMagister appear to be aggregators (for lack of a better term), bringing together various programs from other institutions and offering a much larger scope of subject matter, which very much appeals to me.  The Woolf offerings SEEM like they'll be easier to FCE into certs/credits here (TBD), but I think I'll need to go institution by institution with the eMagister offerings to see how those will fare.  I might be biting off more than I can chew here, but are there any other "aggregators" out there (preferably proven to FCE if possible) that I should explore?  I don't mind the research as I love to learn (that's why many of us are here I'd say), but I'm not sure what exactly I'd search FOR when trying to find more options.  Any help with search terms or even helping point me at specific sites would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Hi all,

I'm approaching the ACE 90 credit limit - TESU BACS (international student).

I haven't started gathering RA credit yet and I'm looking for recommendations for cheap RA online colleges / RA providers.

These have caught my eye:

• Diné College
  
• New Mexico Junior College
  

Hi all,

I'm currently doing the Study.com English Composition 2, but am unsatisfied with the assignment requirements (6 submissions at >= 70%).

Considering switching to TEL learning, however I am unsure of their assignment requirements (however the RA credits would be beneficial!) - anyone have any experience with their course?

Getting it done as quick as possible is more important to me than cost, therefore any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

(I've already considered the DSST English multiple choice exam, however unfortunately, it's unavailable to take in my country.

• Earn a regionally accredited bachelor’s degree online as fast and affordably as possible
  
• Maximize use of existing college credit
  
• Utilize Sophia, Study.com, CLEP, etc. for most remaining credit
  
• Prefer TESU (BALS?) or UMPI (BAS?), but open to suggestions if there's a faster/better fit
  

1. Based on my credits, would TESU BALS or UMPI BAS/BA be faster or more cost-effective?
   
2. Should I get started with Sophia or Study.com now, or wait until a degree plan is mapped out?
   

Question: Whether it's TESU or UMPI, is the maximum number of credits one can earn in a single semester 15? If I still need 21 RA credits, does that mean I have to complete my bachelor's degree in at least two semesters?
