Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I'm currently a student in the YourPace program at UMPI, working towards completing my Business degree. Due to residency requirements, I need to complete three more courses directly through UMPI. 

I've transferred many courses and have met all the necessary requirements for my degree, except for this residency condition. I'm looking for recommendations on the easiest courses available at UMPI, as I want to complete them without expending too much energy. These courses can be completely unrelated to the business field.

If anyone has any suggestions for courses that are known to be less demanding or particularly straightforward, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Here we go again. Some background info on me...

- 45-year-old empty nester. Been in IT for 25+ years, mostly in desktop support/network administration.
- Current WGU BS Cybersecurity/Info Assurance student. (Almost done, but halfway considering a switch over to BSBA IT Management. lol)
- Most recently a sales engineer for the biggest networking vendor out there (rhymes with "disco"). It was my first time doing sales or anything really "business"-y. I was not great at it but I think I could be, and that side now intrigues me, so...
- Want to further my security education on the policy/business/legal side
- Would likely do best with a more "traditional" structure. CBE has not been great for me.
- Would rather not mess with GRE/GMAT


My thoughts go in one of three directions: IT/cyber-focused MBA, business/policy-focused MS in cyber, or cyber-focused Master of Legal Studies. (I REALLY love the idea of MLS, but I've seen where folks think it's useless and have read through a similar thread here.) Wondering if any of y'all have any thoughts or suggestions on which lane to consider more heavily, particular programs in any of these lanes, or even something I haven't necessarily thought of yet.

(FYI, my current top choices are the policy track of GaTech's online MS in Cybersecurity, Cleveland State University College of Law's MLS in Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, and UTK's MS in Business Cybersecurity. And despite my not really loving CBE, coming back to WGU for the MSCSIA or MBA in IT Management are also on the table. lol)

Any thoughts?

I am currently doing a Business Administration major with a Marketing concentration with only 4 courses left, and I'm thinking about adding a minor. The minors I'm considering are Psychology and/or Management as I think they could benefit me. I have already seen the requirements and I could add some additional Sophia courses but not interested in SDC.
Could anyone share their experiences with the Psychology or the Management minor? I'm curious about the workload.

I just checked my account and due to non residency I am being charged $350 for the BOG degree. Is this accurate anyone else experience this?

Other then Study.com, anyone know if there is anywhere I can get cheap upper level History credit either through ACE or an accredited college? 
I haven't had any luck with upper-level ACE history credit, so what would be the cheapest (out of state)college I can take upper-level History at?

OUTRAGE! that was a MASSIVE Security FAILURE or even Collusion. Fire the head of the Secret Service and the Homeland Security Secretary right now. Then begin the investigations.

My son dropped out of high school to teach himself and later decided against college. I supported him every step of the way.

I am loving life!

I've been living in my adopted hometown for over two years now.

I have a garden. I have a library. I have a nascent vineyard. 

I am living the examined life.

I'm fully engaged with the University of Chicago Graham School Basic Program.

I enjoy being part of our community theater. I have already acted in several plays. Until moving here, I never acted in any sort of play. My first role was the King of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland." My friends in our theater troupe still call me "King Charles."

One of my old colleagues back in Athens (Degreeinfo.com) recently mused - "Maybe...it's time to call King Charles..."

I know. I know. Most certainly, said person is referring to that other King Charles. 

Anyway - my response is - I ain't never coming back!

Hello. I am a developer from the UK and want to get a comp sci degree. I've been watching youtube but I'm still a little confused:

• If I transfer credits, how much will a comp sci degree from TESU cost? In the videos I've watched, they haven't mentioned total cost.
  
• How much extra would it cost for a second degree? I had read that you can do a second degree with TESU for much less money. The CIS course looks good, though it's not really aimed at developers so much, I think I would enjoy doing it.
  
• Can the CS50 course or an AWS developer certificate be used as credits for anything? 
  

I got an email from Pierpont about their accreditation status being changed to Accredited - On Notice. If this was already posted, apologies. Below is the body body of the email I received:

Dear Pierpont Student:
 
Thank you for choosing Pierpont Community and Technical College as your partner for achieving your academic and career goals. Our mission is “to provide accessible, responsive, and comprehensive education that works.” We are glad you are part of the Pierpont Pride.
 
Pierpont has reached an important milestone in its transition from a university college to West Virginia’s newest stand-alone community and technical college. In early July, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reaffirmed Pierpont’s accreditation and notified us where the College can improve and not risk being out of compliance. In Pierpont’s first full evaluation as a stand-alone community college, HLC affirmed our new status as Accredited—On Notice.
 
Accredited—On Notice means Pierpont students can graduate from an accredited college. We want you to graduate! Most colleges and universities will continue to accept college credit earned at Pierpont in transfer or for later admission to a higher degree program. However, colleges and universities define their own transfer and admission policies. It is good practice to contact any institution in question to ensure alignment between your studies and future academic plans. 
 
We appreciate HLC guidance and note several recommendations stem from the need for a new strategic plan. A draft strategic plan has been developed and will be unveiled in August. Students and student success are at the top of our key institutional performance measures. As a result of evaluation and planning efforts, Pierpont recently reorganized Student Services staff positions and added a new position to further support student enrollment, onboarding, and advising.
 
For more information, please see the attached disclosure describing HLC’s action. HLC can be contacted at info@hlcommission.org or at 312.263.0456. If any questions remain, please visit Pierpont’s new accreditation webpage at http://www.pierpont.edu/about/accreditation.
