If I only need 40 credits in my gen eds, but I have 54, will my classes be used for multiple Gen Ed checkboxes allowing more credits to go into electives?

For example, I can transfer PHI 104 Intro to Ethics at my community college and it would check the box for Gen Eds 2a, 2b, or 4c. But on my plan I have on my own Google sheet, I put PSY 101 for 2a, SOC 101 for 2b, and PHI 104 for 4c. 

You are allowed to use one class for multiple gen ed requirements, you just need 40 Gen Ed credits to graduate. Since I have the possibility of transferring in 54, I think it would be a good idea to use PHI 104 for ALL THREE requirements, that way I'll still have the minimum 40, but I'll have 6 extra (PSY 101 and SOC 101) to go into Electives. 

Does that make any sense? I have lots of gen eds but need more electives so I'd like them to transfer them in that way!

Hello everyone,

I am a Nigerian student with a strong passion for learning and personal development. As an avid online student, I have taken hundreds of courses in various fields, amassing over 300 undergraduate academic credits. My educational journey has been enriched by institutions like Coursera, edX, Sophia Learning, Saylor Academy, and the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).

I am eager to enroll in the YourPace program at the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) to complete my Bachelor's degree. However, due to the current economic meltdown in Nigeria, I am financially unstable and unable to afford the tuition fees.

I am reaching out to this community for recommendations on mini-scholarships or grants available for undergraduate students. Your guidance and support would be immensely helpful in achieving my academic goals.

I am committed to finishing my degree in one session, as I have all the available time to dedicate to my studies. Your assistance in finding financial support will make a significant difference in my educational journey.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Emmy

I have waited over two weeks for Study.com to grade my exams. I’ve called them and left them a voicemail at this number: 877-266-4919, and have also contacted them through their website; I haven’t received a response back. How long does it usually take for a test to be graded, and is there any better way I can contact the study.com team? Thanks guys

Hello,everyone!
I am a new student who need help with my degree plan.
I attended a university in China 18 years ago studying Mechanical Design and Manufacturing and Automation without degree.
My goal here is to get a BA/BS( with as little pain and soon as possible) so that can apply Trine University MBA master or CS master.

Yesterday I was told that I could make it with UMPI.

After viewing some posts I still feel uncertain as below:

1)Can I apply Trine University MBA master with BS degree or CS master with BA degree?(Yet,I haven't decided whether I would apply the CS master or MBA master in Trine)


2)Transferring credits.
UMPI degree required 120 credits(30 credits + 90 credits)
If I apply CS degree which requires 42 cr,can I achieve some of this cr from SOPHIA OR STUDY and then transfer the credits to UMIP?

COS 101 - Introduction to Computer Science 3 credits
COS 110 - Programming Fundamentals 3 credits
COS 120 - Introduction to Data Structures 3 credits

MAT 201 - Probability and Statistics I 3 credits
MAT 202 - Probability and Statistics II 3 credits
MAT 253 - Discrete Mathematics 3 credits
MAT 274 - Linear Algebra 3 credits

I attended a university studying Mechanical Design and Manufacturing and Automation 18 years ago. I'm unsure if this will be of any value or in terms of transfer credits, or if they are even worthwhile sending for assessment. 
Once my transfer credit situation is clearer, I would then start a Sophia/study.com course plan to transfer into UMPI with as much cheap credit as possible.

3)Study plan
I don't fully understand the entire learning process right now. If you've been through this stage before, could you please share your experience and help me create a clear study plan and process? I would really appreciate it.

Your Location: Washington, DC, USA

What kind of degree do you want?: Any, just need a university degree for a work promotion requirement
Current Regional Accredited Credits: none
Any certifications or military experience? Amazon Cloud Practitioner, Certified Scrum Master, two intensive coding bootcamps (George Washington University Full-Stack, General Assembly Data Science)
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible. This will all be cash out of pocket.
Commitments: Full-time work
Dedicated time to study: 2-4 hours per day, but also willing to take a leave of absence from work to knock this out as quickly as possible.
Timeline: Fast as possible would be ideal but I am willing to extend the timeframe if needed.  Overall I would like to be done within a year, but have seen people here finish at UMPI for example in a matter of months.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none

So I'm an IT worker with a fair amount of on-the-job experience.  Doesn't matter what degree I get, I just need one to qualify for certain labor categories at my job and continue my promotion pathway.  Looking for the swiftest way to accomplish this.

Unfortunately I'm starting a bit from scratch with no previous credits, unless there's some way to get credit from my coding bootcamps or tech certifications.  I know folks have mentioned ACE somewhere but is there a list on whether these bootcamps or certs might qualify somewhere?  Seems that a 6-month intensive bootcamp at GWU should be worth something, somewhere.

Thanks in advance for the help!

UNC Greensboro, which offers one of very few AACSB accredited Phds in Business Administration online is now showing online PhD programs in Economics and Information Systems from their School of Business and Economics: https://bryan.uncg.edu/programs/phd-programs/
Total cost for out of state students would be $60,000 or more, depending on courses required at UNCG/prior coursework.

Hi all,

I recently graduated with MS in Accounting from FDU and I have BA in LA from Excelsior, I want to take the CPA exam in NJ but need an additional 12 business credits. I took those credits from Davar but now I need to get them onto a transcript in order to be recognized by NASBA. FDU won't accept Davar credits and Excelsior doesn't allow One transcript use for former students. What would be my best (and cheapest) option for getting these credits on a transcript.
(I see someone posted this link a while back does anyone know if it is dated? https://www.excelsior.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Transcript_Update_Request_Form.pdf)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 

This class is killing me. 

Does anyone have any advice on third-party apps, websites, YouTube channel, etc. to help me get a more immersive experience in Spanish. I have no opportunity to talk to anybody in this language and I refuse to crash and burn in this class.

I am trying to get another chunk of credit transfers before oct start date at UMPI. Unfortunately, for me, this is not a class I can blast through.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

So a year after my original post https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Incomplete-BS-to-hopefully-CJ-BA
I finally got my official transcript and I have decided to get my B.A in Psychology. I have looked on the TESU website and the degree plans but they are very confusing. I can repost my transcript courses if needed but I would love someone to help me breakdown how to move forward. My job has a discount with Bright Horizon so I prefer TESU over UMPI and WGU is too expensive. Also my GPA is 1.7.


Pretty pretty please give me the most affordable option
