Hi all,

I am interested in enrolling in the Pierpont BOG AAS Program, as i study in degreeforum, Pierpont BOG AAS Program is meet with my budget, but I am also open to attending any online accredited institution. My primary goal is to pursue the most efficient path towards obtaining a bachelor's degree, as this will significantly broaden my career opportunities in the workplace. It is crucial to me that the program I choose is accredited by the relevant state or local government authority of the college's location. I have been informed by Malaysia's MQA that validation is only recognized for programs accredited by the state or local government of the college's location, which is essential for recognition in my home country.

Does anyone know how the Excelsior payment plan works? It says you can divide it up between 2-6 payments. Do you have to make all those payments within the course timeline? For instance, if I take an 8 week course would it be divided into one payment the first month and one payment the second month? I'll be getting reimbursed from my employer but I want to know how much I'm going to have to come up with upfront.

Hi guys!
I graduated from TESU in June 2022 with a Dual BSBA of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration and HR/Organizational Management. Also two associates degrees in business administration and arts. 

I’m beyond frustrated. I have yet to find a job. It’s tough out there. I’ve paid for resume writers, used ATS scanners, adjusted every resume to the job I’m applying for. Believe me I’ve done it all. Networked on LinkedIn, made posts, used the fishbowl app, asked for referrals, etc. I have been ghosted by recruiters more times than I can count. I’ve attended interviews that went well only to be told that hiring needs have changed, I don’t have enough experience, lay offs occur, hiring freeze, etc. 

Two months ago my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I guess in a way it was a blessing that I wasn’t working so I could take care of him. I’m having surgery next month. I feel like it’s one thing after the next. Right now money is so tight. I can’t afford certifications right now. I’m considering taking out a loan for additional schooling. I’ve been looking into WGU’s BS HIM and MHA programs. Does anyone have any insight of these programs? Im anxious to make a move on one of these programs because I don’t want to waste my time and money. Does anyone have any advice regarding schooling? I’m not looking for advice on finding a job. I’ve been told by recruiters that I’m doing everything right and it’s just the job market. 

Interesting enough... I knew a few of these, but not all of them, how many did you know? I wonder why they didn't make things easier before, like give the entire places to Canada like parts of Vancouver Island, in exchange for Alaska. There wouldn't have been so many extra un-needed borders...

Interesting... Did anyone get this in their emails? ENEB Double Masters for $30 Euro?  I just signed up for another two, as this is an amazing deal... I don't know how many people got this email, but it does say a limited number of students, so, don't know who they are targeting for this exclusive deal.  Didn't see anyone post on the sister board or on here either...

Could anybody take a guess as to who the AP Computer Science A Exam would come in at TESU? 

Do you think that that would fulfill the Intro to Programming requirement for the BACS?

I read in the forum that some folks got this offer for two free TECEPs in February, so I went ahead and applied to TESU. After not getting the offer within a few days of acceptance, setting up in the portal, etc. I emailed testing@tesu.edu to ask about it. As you can see in the following, the email text says "general education" TECEPs. However, in the "scholarship eligibility form" I am seeing the long list includes 3000, and 4000 course codes - which I believe is for upper level. Also, note that they say it is first-come, not need-based, and not guaranteed. I am also unclear on how long you have to actually take the TECEPs with this offer. So, I'm nervous about deciding which ones I will select. Even though it is less bang for the free bucks, I will likely do medical terminology and will look closely at my likely degree plan in combination with "easy" reports to choose the other. Everything I've read makes me think I will hate taking the TECEP: proctoring nonsense; small font for my old eyes; being used to predictive grammar and spelling assistance I won't have; inability to go back, even when asked to elaborate on previous questions; etc. Anyway, here is what they sent me when I asked for it:

Hello good people, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:

I want to enroll in an MS program in psychology at ACG (Greece). I do not have a BA because I dropped out after 4 years of electrical engineering school and they won't let me enroll without a BA. They have this 1-2 term conversion program where they would first judge my competence to enroll in their MS but even though I let them know that I was studying in uni and dropped out to start my own company, they won't let me take it without an actual BA in my hands.

My first question is whether a "life experience" BA that I could buy online would be okay for them to let me take the conversion program or if my application would get thrown out and I would get blacklisted from every college in existence. I'm not trying to scam anyone or lie, I just want to do the (expensive) conversion program and prove that I'm capable of finishing the MS program.

My second question is what the absolute fastest way for me would be to get an accredited BA so that I can do the conversion and enroll in their MS. Their BA in psychology, as they told me, would take me at least 3.5 years and I'm NOT sure that it's worth it. I'm thinking getting a quick BA from elsewhere and then doing their MS is better for me. But then again perhaps finishing their BA will make my resumee and skill as a therapist even stronger.

All of that having in mind that I want to become a licensed therapist as quickly as possible.

Thank you so much

Has anyone received a decision from UIUC regarding the CEE doctoral program for Fall 2024? My application status has been "Awaiting Decision" since the end of January.
