The DSST program is hiring US college and university instructors to be contract subject matter experts to contribute to test development in

• American Government and Politics, which would be a new title to the DSST program, competing with CLEP
  
• Analyzing and Interpreting English Literature, same
  
• Calculus, same
  
• Introduction to Psychology, same; DSST is still also hiring for the existing DSST subject Lifespan Developmental Psychology
  
• Ethics & Society, a different title than the current DSSTs “Business Ethics & Society,” “Ethics in America,” and “Ethics in Technology.” The simplest explanation is that they’re revising Ethics in America with a more global name. But it’s also possible the new title will consolidate business ethics with general ethics.

Hello everyone,
I would appreciate any advice or experiences regarding credit recognition and admission to a master’s programme in the EU.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in IT from an EU institution, officially worth 240 ECTS credits. During my studies, however, I completed additional courses and academic requirements, so my total number of earned credits is 303 ECTS.
In terms of workload and total credits, this is close to the level normally associated with a master’s degree. However, I do not formally hold a master’s diploma, which is the issue I am currently trying to solve.
My goal is to continue to doctoral studies, but most PhD programmes require a completed master’s degree as a formal admission requirement. Because of this, I am looking for an accredited EU master’s programme that could recognise as many of my already earned additional ECTS credits as possible.
Ideally, I would like to find a programme where most of the requirements could be transferred or recognised, leaving only the master’s thesis, or perhaps one or two additional courses if absolutely necessary.
It would also be very important for the programme to be available online or mostly distance-based, as I am employed full-time and cannot regularly attend classes on campus.
In short: I have an EU Bachelor’s degree in IT with 240 ECTS, a total of 303 earned ECTS, and I am looking for an accredited EU master’s pathway that could help me formally obtain a master’s degree without repeating coursework I have already completed.
Has anyone had a similar experience, or does anyone know of universities or programmes in the EU that are flexible with ECTS recognition and offer online or distance-learning options?
Thank you in advance for any concrete advice or recommendations.

As stated, new to the UMPI world.  I've been eyeballing it for almost a year and finally applied.

I worked with PlottedPath on a plan toward the BBA but life happened and I did not finish 100% of my Sophia/Study/Straighterline reqs.  

I did get a large chunk of them in though so I'm shifting gears to the BLS with BusAdmin and Project Mgmt.

I'm bringing in a brick and mortar back ground and plenty of wasted credits from wasted years.  

Anyway - here is my question.  

What in the world should i expect with writing papers?  I think I've written may 10 papers in 20 years and nothing more than 3 pages of gibberish.
I remember doing some literally 20 years ago, but I have no clue how to even begin with that anymore.

How screwed am i going to be?
