Hello everyone,

I made a thread here a few days ago inquiring about a teaching degree, but after speaking to a counselor and some friends, I believe I should do computer science instead. luckily my thread wasn’t responded to yet. I studied HTML, CSS, and JavaScript full time for about 6 months, but also have some limited knowledge of Java from the Helsinki course. Yet to be completed, but I believe working in the back end is much more suited to me. Below I’ll post the addendum with my info.

https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/WG...egree_Plan This is the path I plan to take. I also called WGU and started my enrollment. Am I supposed to do that now or later since there’s so much SDC and Sophia left to do? I’m looking into aid as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated.


Your Location: Hawaii(Oahu), United States. 
Your Age: 27
What kind of degree do you want?: I’d like a career as a software engineer. As stated above, I have some knowledge to work with already. Conditionals, loops, ASYNCHRONOUS/await, event delegation, etc. I completed all of the courses by Jonas Schmedtman and created all the projects. I do think I’d like it better working in the back end though as design is not really for me. Maybe working with SQL databases would be better. In any case, I’d be looking to learn more Java and overall computer science topics.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 

Sophia Credits: 24
Ancient Greek Philosophers, 3, 100% 
English Composition 1, 3, 89%
Introduction to Business, 3, 88%
Introduction to Ethics, 3, 88%
Introduction to Information Technology, 3, 83%
Introduction to Nutrition, 3, 93%
Introduction to Sociology, 3, 92%
Introduction to Web Development, 3, 83%

Any certifications or military experience? None.

Budget: I have about $5k saved, but my expenses are very low since I catch the bus, live in a cheaper area, and don’t ever spend money on anything. I invested a good amount of money into original magic art, but have slowed down almost to a stop recently as I have a decently large inventory. That being said, I can afford to be a lot more flexible here. My monthly discretionary income is around $1500. I’d like to finish as soon as I can. That’s my number one priority, but if the cost would be a lot more while only saving me a small amount of time, I’d save the money instead. I like the idea of WGU allowing you to blow through as many credits as you can in a semester. My budget and schedule would work well with that.

Commitments: I work full time, but that’s it. I have plenty of time left in the day after work as it’s only half my day.

Dedicated time to study: I think a reasonable amount of study for me would be 40 hours per week across 7 days. I used to study Vanilla JavaScript more than that weekly for 6 months, so I know I can commit the time.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. However long this will take is fine with me.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None. I’ve gotten student aid before, but I was 19 years old and flunked out. Just wasn’t ready back then. I had no goals and wasn’t focused. Not sure if I can get anymore aid after that.

I like the idea of testing out. Most of the Sophia courses I’ve taken were finished the same day or in a few days. I don’t think there’s a class out there that would require me to spend months and months on learning the material. I’m also okay with assignments and assessments too. English comp had me write a bunch of papers. I’m also 90% of the way through public speaking which also had me do projects.

Hello,

I am wondering what stipulations my youngeer son who will be 18 in a month would have to meet in order to attend UMPI? I heard that students under 20 can request to be admitted on a special case basis provided they have some college credit? He missed the deadline for Youngstown State University for College Credit Plus (dual enrollment program in Ohio), but, he is looking at trying to get accepted for other courses at Kent State University with online classes for either Fall, 2024 or Spring, 2025. Is it recommended to take courses through an RA degree program or state online community colleges like Lorain Community College or Columbus State College? Additionally, it is advisable to take over RA classes over providers like Sophia, Study.com, etc?

He is pursuing an Aviation Maintenance program in his STEM high school and looking to take coursework at Kent State University or another in-state school in Ohio that has an aviation 4 yr bachelor degree program. He has some interest in the Air Force National Guard this path would pay for all of his tuition and give him some good experience working on military aircraft.

He has zero credits right now and we are hoping to utilize free dual enrollment classes to get low cost or free credit.

Thanks

Can someone provide information about UMPI YourPace's new Liberal Studies program with a Psychology minor for undergraduates? I can't find any information on the page; it's only available on the application.

Hi, does anyone know of any regionally accredited colleges offering a competency based ( fully online, flat fee per term) DSc program?

Hello all! Firstly, I want to thank everyone who posts on this forum because it is the reason I have been able to complete my bachelor's degree in 4 months! The semester is ongoing, but I've managed to finish ahead of the May 3rd closing date. This is my first post here, so I am living proof that just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, meaning: I have been referencing this site for well over a year as my #1 guide for fast-tracking my bachelor's yet remained anonymous the whole way through. MANY people (including those I've referred to here) are using this forum to change their lives without posting, so please keep it going! My contribution will be a comprehensive reference guide for completing your BLS with a Management Minor in the YourPace program at UMPI. Let's get started!

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone point me to a link that explains what the Math GE courses are that I need as part of the GEC requirements at UMPI? I’m working exclusively with Sophia.org to transfer n credits to UMPI. I want to make sure I’m taking only the necessary minimum amount of courses related to math. As you can probably tell, I am not a fan of math! Thx!

University of South Florida just launched a free (for now) 10-hour, online certificate in Fintech:

Hi there,

My brother is looking to pursue a degree in arts or design, potentially at SNHU. However, his first step is obtaining his Pierpont BOG Associates with an area of emphasis in Graphics Technology. Would Xamk's Introduction to Video Games Creation course help fulfill the 15 credits required for the area of emphasis? Also, we're curious about other courses that could fulfill these requirements. 

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Anyone ever transfer Linked in learning to UMPI for anything. Just curious. My job just signed us all up for accounts starting May 10th to use as we wish for free. Figured why not see if it's an option lol.

I know we have some Project Managers here so I am hoping someone can tell me this.  

Would a project Manager be able to facilitate scheduling 10,000 students at 65 sites on various days/times over the course of 3 weeks across an entire state?
I am thinking this person would have to know how to figure out schedules, locations, distance, and also have knowledge of how to set up some sort of spreadsheet or database to deploy that information to each site’s staff to have names, dates, accommodations etc.

Does that encompass the types of things a Project manager might learn?
