Your Location: Texas, USA
Your Age: 27
What kind of degree do you want?: Finish bachelor's degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Roughly 128 credits
Budget: Cheaper as I pay out of pocket
Commitments: Work
Dedicated time to study: I can do 20 to 30 hours a week.
Timeline: Couple of years but I would like to be done within a year if possible.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No undergraduate loans I paid out of pocket for all of my credits. I make too much too qualify for grants but can qualify for student loans if needed. Employer offers $3000 yearly so not too helpful.
Schools: UMPI, ASU, WGU (not a big fan of the tests), Any to be honest
First off, I was stupid in my late teens and early 20s wanted to be a CRJ major. I went back years later and I graduate with my MLT degree in May. Now, I'm wanting to finish as soon as I can so I can focus on getting into a graduate program or take prerequisites for program. I plan on being in the hospital lab for a while but I went that path so I had a degree to make a living off of. I am really wanting something to tie into my useless CRJ credits to finish or will take the most out of my allied health credits to bridge for my MLS at least or have a bachelor's degree to contest the boards in a couple of years after finishing. I have a lot of regrets going back years later but I had no path my original time in other than getting a CRJ degree. Now, I just want some advice. Most bridges from MLT to MLS require the classes listed at at the bottom of the page.
I can use any degree to contest the boards if needed.

Hey there everyone, long time lurker and first-time poster here.
I'm enrolled and ready to go for the next term. I'm hoping to finish up 30 credits in 8 weeks. I finished 73 Sophia credits in 1 month so I don't think it's too much of a stretch for me.
I have to graduate with an excellent GPA - which brings me to my point. Are there any other students (especially Hist/PoliSci majors, or anyone who will be pursuing a JD after undergrad) starting on 3/11 who are trying to work through classes in one session? I'd like to start a mini study group, pass notes back and forth, have an accountability system, or whatever would be helpful. Basically just don't want to feel alone through all of this.
Please feel free to reply to this thread or message me privately if you're interested!!

Tired of being bad at math and looking to enroll in online math classes for credit |

Age: 30s
What kind of degree do you want?: Certificate or simply taking the classes for credit so I have a transcript I can use to apply elsewhere to fulfill the prerequisites for entry to another master's program
Current degrees: Bachelor of Science in Biology / Psychology, Master of Science in Computer Science (in progress)
Budget: Ideally <= $850 a class
To be honest, I'm just tired of being bad at math. The highest level of math I've taken is Calculus 1 back in college, but I received a D. Since no more math classes were needed for my degree, I've managed to avoid math until now.
I've identified the following math classes as the ones I want to take based on what others who have a computer science background have taken and what is expected:
- Calculus 1
- Calculus 2
- Calculus 3
- Probability & statistics
- Linear algebra
- Discrete math
I've found ModernStates / CLEP for College Mathematics, College Algebra, and Calculus. My current plan is to do CLEP for those 3 subjects first so I have a foundation to pursue higher studies, but I'm looking for relatively cheap options for the other classes. I've looked at local community colleges and Luna Community College, but they don't seem to go beyond calculus 1.
The current options I've found (using linear algebra as an example) are:
- UC San Diego Extended Studies ($835)
- Wescott Courses / UMass Global ($569)
- University of Illinois NetMath ($1248)
- Coastline College
- UMass Amherst ($1800)
Right now I'm leaning towards UC San Diego or Wescott Courses, but I'm reading some reviews which report the quality of the courses are pretty bad at those two. Is there a better/cheaper alternative? I'm primarily looking to learn the material and to be able to prove that I've learned the material.

Family Moves to Russia to Escape Woke LGBTQ Ideology, But It Doesn't Go Very Well |

Hitting two recurring themes on DegreeForum Off Topic: Culture wars and expat life.
The Daily Mirror Wrote:Arend and Anneesa Feenstra couldn't stand the "woke" LGBTQ ideology being thrown in their faces everywhere they went in the small, rural town in Ontario, Canada, where they were living. So, the couple packed their bags, grabbed their eight children and moved to Russia, where they hoped things would be better for them.
The couple has now come to [somewhat] regret their decision. Though Russia has some of the strictest anti-gay laws in the world, the family has encountered lots of other problems in the rural farming town in which they now reside. After selling their Canadian farm, the couple has been [initially] unable to access the money from it, as their new Russian banks have dubbed the funds "suspicious," the Daily Mail reported. To make matters worse, no one in the family speaks Russian, so they've been unable to communicate with banking authorities who don't speak English or with locals, who also don't speak their language.
The difficulties the couple has faced led Anneesa to post a video to the family's YouTube Channel, Countryside Acres, in which she ranted about the language barrier, the money issues and lots of other things she said have gone wrong since the family arrived in the Eastern European country.
But the Kremlin reportedly didn't like that. Russia is not a country that protects free speech, and government officials weren't happy with the video that shed such a negative light on their country, imploring the couple to take it down — which they did.

Adding on associates? |

I'm currently awaiting my last evaluations from TESU that should put me with just my capstone left for completing my BA in Computer Science. Once my evaluations are credited, I should also have enough to get the Associates in Computer Science. I'd like to get that as well and wondering on how the timing of that works. It is my understanding I can also add this to my degree plan somehow? Then I graduate with both?
Can anyone shed light on how this process works?
Thanks!
