  LLB degree for Australia
Posted by: Atoshi - 04-11-2024, 05:31 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (16)

Hello knowledgeable people,
I got my B.Sc. in liberal arts from Excelsior. I moved to Australia as a PR after my marriage. I always dreamed of being a lawyer but couldn’t do it due to financial issues. I used to live in south-east Asia. Anyway, I would like to start my law journey if possible. I have checked, and the price of a law degree in Australia is not within my budget. I can’t apply for government loans yet. I have noticed I can do levels 4 and 5 in law and then transfer credits for the final year of law in the UK. I am looking for an affordable option. If anyone has information on the most affordable way to get an LLB from the UK, that would be very helpful.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing great! I am still pushing to finish my degree this year at UMPI, and I feel optimistic! I am currently taking leadership, and I am taking marketing.

Can anyone help me list my remaining classes from easiest to hardest/take longer time to complete classes? I would like to speed things up next session! thank you!

  Finished.. Done! Can't wait for graduation!!
Posted by: ltw900rr - 04-10-2024, 07:52 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (28)

It finally happened..

I started a journey to continue where I left off 25+ years ago after I received an Associate's degree at a local community college.

In July I started taking classes on Sophia, and then started classes at TAMUC for Fall 1 2023. 

Today my last assignment was graded.

I never thought I would get to this point, and I am glad I found the help of this forum.

Graduation is May 11th @ 2PM. I plan to walk and hope my wife can finish her classes so we can walk together.

I also received an email today about my grades and Summa Cum Laude academic distinction.

I would like to thank this forum for the help and thank the members who went to TAMUC and paved the way!

  Intl future student looking for guidance
Posted by: James4 - 04-10-2024, 07:30 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Your Location: Non-US, originally from EU but living in Asia
Your Age: 36
What kind of degree do you want?: Been eyeing at BSc Cybersecurity on TESU
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
I hold CompTIA Network+, Security+ and CySA+ (should total 9 credits). I also have a bunch of Microsoft cloud certifications that add up to 18 credits on acenet.edu, but to be honest those sound a bit too good to be true so I'm not sure if they'd actually get accepted. Worth a try I suppose. I also hold AWS CCP, but I can't find if that's good for anything.

Budget: Preferably not more than $10-15K
Commitments: I work more or less full-time as cloud systems administrator, however it's freelance work so I can use any potential downtime to my advantage. No other real commitments
Dedicated time to study: So far with certification studies I've just filled in empty slots in my day, but I could wake up earlier and sleep later if I had a more impactful goal in mind
Timeline: Not specifically in a hurry, so 2-3 years is fine, could even stretch it to full four if that's somehow beneficial especially cost-wise
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Ha, I wish Smile

Been reading till my head spins, so let me know if I got this right:
- BSc is 120 credits total
- I need a total of 30 RA credits, and 6 of those will be the capstone and cornerstone from TESU
- However with the 15 RA minimum in order to avoid the residency fee waiver cost it'd kinda make more sense/be easier to just take two terms with the flat-rate, and fill in any possible gaps with some easy-ish TECEPs if need be
- For the remaining 90 ACE credits I could use my certifications (like stated before, not really sure how much there would actually be, but let's say majority won't be accepted so I only get 12 credits) and collect the rest from Sophia and/or Study.com.

The problem I have with the last point is that it seems there isn't a clear indication anywhere as to what Sophia/Study.com courses match the ones in the TESU curriculum. As far as I understand, Sophia doesn't have any exam costs, whereas on Study.com it's essentially $235/mo for two exams (with the additional $70/exam), and with there being like 26 exams total that'd be $3,000 or so, maybe a bit less if I managed to knock down more than those two a month. It kinda seems that Sophia is more geared towards the general education part, so overall it probably wouldn't play too big a part in all this. Now I know you can go asking "Is this accepted?", but I'd like to be able to have a bit better understanding about what would or wouldn't work first.

Budgeting, say, $1,000 for the application fee, graduation and other such fees, all this would total to around $12,600 - does this sound about right or are there some more hidden fees somewhere or something else I've missed? While BSc Cybersecurity speaks to me the most, I'm not completely dead set on it, so if there's some other CS option I'd be open to hear about it.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time!

  Advice on degree options
Posted by: juliakeller2011 - 04-09-2024, 10:44 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

Hi! I am new here, so forgive me if I don't use the acronyms much. They are a little overwhelming, lol. I am so grateful for this forum! I have gotten so much information - it has been so helpful.

I am 56 and have 38 years experience as a licensed optician, general manager, operations manager, technical trainer, corporate trainer, and also a dog trainer (yes, dog).
 
I have a few college credits, eng 101, 102, soc 101, and contemporary America soc 102. They are from like 35 years ago. 
I apprenticed and went through a technical training program, of which I became one of their trainers, from Eckerd Technical Training (closed over 20 years).
 
I am hoping to create a new career teaching English as a second language. I have completed a 168 hour TEFL certification with specialties in teaching business English, teaching online and 1 on 1, as well as teaching young learners.
While I can teach esl now with just the diploma, the pay is low and certain countries require a bachelors degree. In anything.

I was thinking of Sophia and UMPI. I thought the Bachelors in liberal studies w/ minor in education... I like the time flexibility and cost savings. I am still working full time and have some health concerns. I would like to find the quickest and lowest cost path. I'm not afraid of putting in the hard work. 

I'm not necessarily beholden to that degree, It just looked like it would fit.

Would anyone be able to offer advice?

Thanks
