  PSY-360 Organizational Theory Lower Level Equivilent?
Posted by: Sargoththemino - 06-18-2024, 11:02 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - No Replies

I have five classes (15 units) left on my BSBA Organization Leadership at TESU. I already took the cornerstone and I am thinking of taking 4 TESU courses in the last semester to hit residency.

I already have: MAN-2350 Intro to Project Management (LL) and MAN-3720 International Management (UL)

I want to take 3 e-pack courses and the capstone in the final semester for residency and to save money for the full time discount.

MAN-3110 Organizational Behavior (UL) e-pack
MAN-3310 Human Resources Management (UL) e-pack
PSY-3630 Industrial Psychology (UL) e-pack
BUS-4210 Business Administration Capstone (UL)

This leaves me with one class to bring in "PSY-3600 Organizational Theory" (a required course). I know I can take Business 323: Organizational Theory (UL) at Study.com but I noticed I have only taken one lower level course when I can take two. Does anyone know any lower level course I can transfer in to meet the PSY-3600 Organizational Theory requirement? This class and the capstone are my only two classes with assignments so if I can find a lower level course that I can test out of it will speed me along. Otherwise I'll just take the Study.com class.

Also, I've never taken an e-pack course so any feedback on difficulty level of the three I'm taking would be appreciated. Thanks

  Best plan to get credentials in accounting? Have a BSW and MPA
Posted by: FreeAgnes - 06-18-2024, 10:31 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (10)

Hi everyone! Long time listener, first time caller

Your Location: North Carolina, United States. 

Your Age: 45

What kind of degree do you want?: Any, including post-grad certs. I'm open to an entry-level/non-BA master's program. I want to add additional credentials for accounting to move out of the human/social services world. I want to use my MPA in a less direct-interaction-with-the-public way Big Grin . I have been advised by several people that accounting will open more doors in government. I would like to get credits that could be used for a MAcct. if I choose to get one later. 

Current Regional Accredited Credits
Abilene Christian University, BSW, 2001
University of North Texas, MPA, 2003

I have taken classes at other universities before but I honestly don't remember what they were (10 yrs ago-ish). None of them were in an accounting or finance discipline though.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience? Nope

Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  

Commitments: Honestly, just my pets. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.

Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as needed during the night or weekends. I have no social life to speak of. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish in 6 mos-1 yr if possible because I am so burnt out from social services, but I'm not really on a fixed time table.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Thank you for your help!

  Figuring out What I Have and What I am Missing for BACS & BS-CIS Double Degree
Posted by: nicecoolego - 06-18-2024, 06:24 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (8)

I was originally working on a Pierpont -> Umpi BAS IT minor plan, but I found out I missed the summer graduation deadline for Pierpont and I would need to wait until December to graduate. This has derailed my plans a bit since I am trying to Graduate as soon as I can (no rushing for anything specific but I don't want to waste 6 months I want to be done with the Bachelors by the end of the year). As such I was thinking of jumping ship to TESU's BACS & BS CIS double degree plan, but in order to make an informed decision on whether or not that's a good idea I need to know what from the things I have already done would transfer over. I tried to research it on the wiki but somethings were hard to find out where the equivalencies fit in the course requirements. Therefore, here is what I have so far:

AP (? means I am not sure if I took it since the scores are already archived):

  • Calculus AB
  • Biology
  • CS Principles ?
  • Physics 1
  • Physics 2
  • Eng ?
  • Spanish
  • World History
  • US History
ACE:
  • TEEX Cyber 101
  • TEEX Cyber 201
  • TEEX Cyber 301
  • Google IT Cert
  • Google Data Analytics Cert
  • Google UX Design Cert
  • Sophia:
  • Project Management
  • Visual Communication
  • Workplace Communication
  • Ancient Greek Philosophers
  • Art History 1
  • Intro to IT
  • Python
  • Web Development
  • College Readiness
  • Sociology
RA:
  • ASU CIS-194 1 credit
As such I would be incredibly thankful for any help or resources in knowing what requirements I have already met and which ones I still need. Thank you for reading!

  My minimum cost zero to hero degree plan (high school to partial doctorate)
Posted by: David1477 - 06-18-2024, 01:32 PM - Forum: Finalized Degree Plans - Replies (6)

1. University of the People: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (approx. 1-2k$ if you're fast with Sophia, depending on whether you receive a scholarship - make sure to benefit from transfer fee waivers if possible, approx. 14-15 months)

-> 90 credits from Sophia + 30 credits at UoPeople

You need 6 terms to complete your degree due to the learning pathways course requirements.

The only courses you have to take at UoPeople are (by term):

1. Online Learning Strategies

2. Principles of Marketing + E-Commerce

3. Multinational Management + Entrepreneurship

4. Business and Society + Leadership (that's where I am atm)

5. Business Policy and Strategy + Organizational Leadership

6. Quality Management


2. UK Level 7 Diploma in Accounting and Finance (800£, 9 months)

This was the cheapest accredited one (OTHM) I could find (9 month pathway): https://lsba.org.uk/level-7-diploma-in-a...d-finance/

6 courses with pdf course material. Each courses requires 1 written assignment of min. 2000 words using the Harvard referencing style (in contrast to APA at UoPeople).


3. MSc Accounting and Finance Top-Up at University of Northampton (2,425£, 1 year)

This program only has 1 course: the dissertation.


4. UK Level 8 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership (1450£, 9 months)

For example this one (Qualifi): https://lsba.org.uk/level-8-diploma-in-s...eadership/


My UoPeople degree will end up costing me only 1000$ due to a 50% scholarship and a transfer fee waiver. So it's 1000$ + 4675£ for the whole pathway that leads from high school graduation to a properly accredited master in a well-paying field (finance/accounting) and an option to complete a DBA/PhD dissertation at a later stage. I believe that's pretty hard to beat.

Also, I set this pathway up in a way that it can be completed while working full time.

  What Associates Should I Get?
Posted by: imarealsith - 06-18-2024, 01:05 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

Today I discovered Sophia, makes me feel like maybe I CAN finish school!
Based on this unofficial transcript, give me recommendations to get ANY online associates degree!  The faster and the cheaper it can be accomplished, the better!  My career goal is to be in upper mgmt at a Financial Institution, with a bachelors eventually.

Appreciate your help.

PS: I know my transcript is not impressive.  I had many difficulties after high school but am ready to finally do the dang thing. Smile

  Any substitute for SOS-1100?

Is there anything from Sophia, Study.com, etc that can be used to get credit for this? This is the one gen ed that previous college credits didn't cover.

  Pierpont to UMPI - When to apply?
Posted by: nyrsimon - 06-18-2024, 09:23 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (8)

Folks

So Nancy has told me I am just 3 credits away from completing my BoG at Pierpont (woo hoo!). I intend to get them through study.com.

I then want to go on and complete a degree at UMPI.

My question is when can I apply to UMPI? If I complete these 3 credits by say mid July and go through the degree audit etc I'll be set to graduate in December. Do I need to wait until December and I have graduated BEFORE I apply to UMPI? Or can you do some kind of application ahead of time knowing the BoG is coming?

That would work out well I guess as I can use that time to complete the 30 additional credits I want...

I'm just trying to make sure I understand the timing aspect of this!

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks
Simon

  CS Bachelor International High School Graduate
Posted by: ASP_0705 - 06-18-2024, 08:39 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Your Location: India
Your Age: 19
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer Science, Information Technology, or any other related degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None, but willing to take them if it brings down the time and cost.
Any certifications or military experience? No


Budget: The cheapest option is preferred.
Commitments: Minor family commitments, but I can dedicate the majority of my time to studying.
Dedicated time to study: I can study full-time. Even more, if it helps cut down some time.
Timeline: Finishing the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I've read some people finish online tech degrees in a year or so, but I don't want to set unrealistic expectations for myself.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Out of pocket.

I'm a high school graduate from India. I began looking into online CBE schools like UMass Global but read a lot of mixed reviews. I also read about Pierpont BOG AAS but don't know how it works or how I could fit it in. I plan to do a traditional, in-person Masters in the US after I finish my bachelor's online, so I want a degree from an accredited university. I'd be eternally grateful if someone helped me build a degree plan.
