Nice article written by a Brown student.  

I think it is fair to say that most elite universities treat their online masters as "cash cows".

Dear beautiful community, with the help of you guys I got my bachelor degree with 3.8 GPA. I am very thankful to all of you. I have a friend who is going through very difficult time. He has many years of experience in business but don’t have any degree. He wants to get his bachelor in business.
What’s the best way for him to start? How many credits he need from UMPI ? Can he start at Sophia and then transfer his credits? Pls need advice. 
Thanks again for always being helpful.

I’m looking at the Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Cyber Security because it’s way cheaper than doing full grad courses in the US.

Does anyone know if a NACES evaluation can turn that Level 7 diploma into graduate-level credits that I could transfer to a US university?

Thanks for any info or real experiences.

Hello,

Between industry certifications and ACE credits, I will have 89 credits that are transferrable toward the WGU BSCSIA by early next year.

While I am nearly certain that I will enroll in WGU's BSCSIA program next year, I wanted to check to see if there are other, similar options that this forum recommends. 

Transferability of certifications is what initially interested me in WGU, so I am curious if other programs accept certs for credit.

I like the DHA program from VUL, but the administration's professionalism is sorely lacking. Unaswered e-mails, phone messages, open complaints from other grads, etc and now we're seeing an inside view how they work. The football team doesn't have a stadium and coach Doe Edwards has posted for years on his X account the Dragon's mismangement and poor treatment of the players. Ashame their degree program is tarnished by their footballl program.

Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama is developing an online Doctor of Arts (DA) in English. JSU’s current doctorates are a competitive 450 to 500 per semester hour. (Their only online doctorates currently are in emergency management and in nursing.)

The Chanticleer Wrote:English Department Head Raina Kostova said the Doctor of Arts in English degree will be offered completely online. Kostova said students are not required to have a master’s degree to begin the program, meaning undergraduates can transition directly into the doctoral program upon graduation.

Kostova said the degree has been in development for the past two years. Former English Department Chair Andrea Porter began the initial research before Kostova became the department head a year ago.

Hello everyone!

Currently I am a student at TESU, with my first term ending this Sunday. At the end of this term, I will have 100 credits, 9 coming from community college and 79 coming from ACE sources such as Sophia and Coursera. I am also currently finishing up a Study.com course which will give me three more credits, as an ACE source. This upcoming term I will be taking 2 regular TESU courses and 2 TECEP exams. Will the TECEP exams count as the ACE credit sources which are capped at 90? I was hoping that I could take the final two courses needed to graduate through Study.com, but I am concerned that these would not be counted as I am near the maximum ACE credits allowed, if the TECEP exams count as ACE sources.

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations for an online, asynchronous master's program in Health Informatics with a total cost as close to $10,000 as possible. I've looked at a few different health informatics programs, but the tuition is astronomical (to me at least, I'm a WGU grad so I'm spoiled). 

I'd also be open to MHA or MSIT programs that have a health informatics concentration. Currently Amberton University's MHA program with their grad cert in Healthcare Informatics is looking like a good option, but I'm wanting to explore other options too. 

Thank you!

I'm hoping to transfer the 24 RA credits, but I'm curious how they count them. At my local CC, Eng 1A is a 4-unit course, but it looks like it's 3 at TESU. Will this count as 4 or 3 towards the 24? I will also be transferring in some 4-unit foreign language courses. Will those count as 4 or 3 towards the 24?

Thank you!
