  UMPI - 3 new MSB Concentrations
Posted by: pearblossom - 10-02-2025, 02:27 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

UMPI just released the following MSB concentrations:

SCM - Supply Chain Management
FIN - Finance
PM - Project Management

I was set to start the MAOL on October 27th but just switched over to SCM, which was my long term goal. I just wasn't sure when they were going to release it.

The last thread I could find on here about it was from 2008 when it was the Association for Hebraic Studies Institute. Now it is a DEAC-accredited university with programs in Jewish Studies, education, and business (all through an Orthodox Jewish lens). They take up to 90 transfer credits for a bachelors. Undergrad tuition is $60/credit and graduation fee is $1500, bringing the degree to $3300 plus whatever you paid for your transfer credits if you transfer the full 90 in.

Anyone have experience with them?

  South College executive MBA
Posted by: GoodYellowDogs - 10-01-2025, 04:12 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - No Replies

I bounce around quite a bit on what I want to be when I grow up. That is a joke because I am old. However, due to COVID and family issues I have to keep working. 

I decided I was going to do the additional 7 courses at WGU to get my MBA, as that is what would look nice on my resume right now. It has to be CBE, as I’m never going back to traditional learning. 

I had wanted to do my DBA at South College, but I don’t have the time to commit. However I looked at the Executive MBA at South and it’s interesting. Much more interesting courses. At WGU they are run of the mill MBA courses. I don’t need in the weeds type of learning. I’ve been an exec for a hundred years. 

I did a forum search but didn’t find much other than some people had looked at it. 

So, has anyone enrolled in it?  Any feedback?

Thank you all!

  college or trade
Posted by: jb111 - 10-01-2025, 02:50 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (2)

Good afternoon. My son stopped school to work.  He's now 24 and considering going back.  36 community college credits completed.  If he could knock out Lawshelf or other cheap credits, would TESU be a good route?  Alternatively, he is entertaining a trade - maybe electrician.  We're still investigating that.  Virginia has a pretty good "Fast forward" program.  Just takes several months to drill through it.  It's up to him.  I just need to see forward progress Smile
Thanks

Does anyone know what the evaluation criteria is for this EdX Microbachelor? I.e. tests, assignments, quizzes?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found it. There's some assignments and an exam.

Thanks!!!!

  Unimarconi Master via ENEB Thread
Posted by: Kalas - 10-01-2025, 06:21 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (61)

Once it gets to the point of money changing hands this is no longer a strictly ENEB topic. This thread is meant is meant to catalog actual experiences and results from those that are actively pursuing Unimarconi degrees, not to clog it up with infinite speculation and baseless naysaying. If that is why you are here, do it in the ENEB Master Thread. 

I decided to pull the trigger on this and put a deposit down yesterday. I got proper confirmation that my payment was completed this time, unlike my original enrollment which just sent me to a blank page after charging my card. An autoresponder has been set up for the Unimarconi program, which is something I did not get with my ENEB degrees either. The key information from that email is below.

Quote:Within the next three days, you will receive an email with the registration form, where you will need to complete your personal information and upload the required documentation.


To speed up the process, please have the following documents ready:
      • Identification document: ID card, residence card, or passport (front and back).
    • Provisional graduation certificate or university diploma.
      • Academic transcript (grade report).
⚠️ Important: If you reside outside Europe, both the diploma and the transcript must be apostilled.

This confirms there will be no cost and delay sending physical copies of your documentation to Italy (Italy's postal service makes the USPS look good) and non-European residents (not credentials?) will have to get an apostille. ENEB is supposed to be taking care of sending your ENEB transcripts to Unimarconi so you should only need to do this to prove you have a real undergrad degree.

According to the doomsday clock in one of my emails from ENEB the price was supposed to have risen about 9 hours ago, but as of this posting it has not been changed yet. Prior experience with limited offers from ENEB would suggest it will get pulled in sometime in the next few days. https://eneb.com/accreditationusd/ 

The USD price is actually lower than the euro price this time by a little over $100, so it's probably cheaper to use the USD link even if you're paying in euros. There is an option to pay a deposit now to lock in the price and complete payment before studies begin. If you use the link on the sales page you will pay the higher euro price. This is the proper link to make the down payment at the USD price. https://eneb.com/reservofusd 

Reminder: there is reason to believe WES will evaluate the Unimarconi degree as the equivalent of a US RA Master's degree. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ne-Courses

Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, GCAS and Directors' Institute (a 650k INR online DBA in India) did not respond to inquiries on whether or not this degree would be accepted for entry into their doctoral programs. ENEB claims this will allow entry into all European doctoral programs. If that turns out to be accurate combining Unimarconi with UOC or GCAS would lead to a legitimate European doctorate for under US$10k. Right now my plan is to apply to UOC and GCAS after finishing this degree.

  Some questions about TESU credit transfers
Posted by: ArboristFlames - 09-30-2025, 09:48 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello!!

I am wondering if upper level CIS (not COS) courses count as area of study upper level courses for the CS degree?

And under the Civic and Global Leadership area, I am lacking ETH-2200. Can I just replace it with a PHI course found under the Ethical Leadership courses? Any PHI course or only one that transfers in as one of the PHI courses found under the ethical leadership courses (if I want to use a PHI course)?

If I'm missing SOC-1010, can I replace it with another SOC course that's at the 3000 level? (from another college) Or does it have to be at the 1000 level and or also specifically Introduction to Sociology?

And if my calculus transferred in as 3 credits (from Study.com),will that satisfy the 4 credit Calculus requirement for the BA CS? Should I have them update it to 4 credits?

Thanks !

  Current fastest/least expensive option for RA credits?
Posted by: studyingfortests - 09-30-2025, 11:50 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (11)

Forgive me if this is covered in another thread, but in searching the archive I couldn't find a current, clear post describing best options. 

I have several colleagues who are specifically interested in a TESU degree (preferred over UMPI due to less stringent distribution requirements.) 

Now that the Pierpoint associates degree is no longer as free/easy as it was, are there any inexpensive options to earn the minimum required RA credits for TESU? Obviously state community college programs with low/no tuition are one option, my question is whether there are other options that are quicker/easier than community college classes. 

Thanks in advance!
