Hey guys, I've been here for a while but still think there's someone out there who can shed some light on my path. I'm trying to get a doctorate from any regionally accredited institution that's less expensive or less time-consuming.
Education:

• High school diploma
  
• SIEMENS NX CAD Certification
  
• Google IT Support Certification
  
• MIT MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data Science with 4 certifications
  • Cert1: Data Analysis - Statistical Modeling and Computation in Applications
    
  • Cert2: Probability - The Science of Uncertainty and Data
    
  • Cert3: Python - From Linear Models to Deep Learning
    
  • Cert4: Fundamentals of Statistics
    
• Previous two years of brick and mortar college with no transfer credit from that college
  
• Sophia: 115 credits, because it's cheap and easy I can take any course on Sophia, so assume I have it if it's on Sophia
  
• Real Estate license I took 4 college level courses (" 1-Real Estate Principle 2-Real Estate Practice 3-real Estate Finance 4- Property Management") from a non credit online school but it accept by the California department of real estate

Hi everyone,

I'm 28 years old, working at a large pharmaceutical company in a role that generally requires at least a bachelors degree in any sort of health or science field. I was able to land my position through experience, but would like to finish my bachelors degree to open more doors and complete my professional profile.

I have an associates degree in Science from a community college with the following courses taken:

PSYCH-2280 NET03 Statistics Soc/Beha Sciences
PHYSI-1202 VCM05 General Physics II
PHYSI-1201 VCM08 General Physics I
CHEMI-1551 NET02 Principles of Chemistry I
CHEMI-0485 003 Lab & Computation Chemistry
ANAT-1552 700 Human Anatomy & Physiology II
ANAT-1551 404 Human Anatomy & Physiology I
PSYCH-2237 010 Developmental Psych: Life Span
ANTHR-1000 080 Intro to Anthropology
HISTO-1110 NET10 Western Civilizatin Until 1600
HUMNT-1102 NET05 Intro Humanities: Ideas/Values

PSYCH-1100 100 General Psychology
ACCOU-1140 200 Financial Accounting
ECONO-2202 134 Microeconomic & Global Economy

Total completed credits: 86

I also went to a public university as a Biology major for a few years and dropped out due to bad grade and bad life circumstances, I've taken these courses with at least a C grade:

-Biology 1 with lab
-Cell biology
-Cell Biology lab
-Ecology and Evolution
-Animal physiology
-Statistics

Total completed credits: 20 minimum, I believe it might be higher

I'm looking to get a health related degree (Health Science, Biology, etc) online with the best tuition and fastest option possible.

Programs I'm considering:

- WGU BS in Health and Human Services, they approved 32 transfer credits, I still need to take 78 credits: Cost 9k total if 2 terms
-SNHU Public Health BS, they approved 70 transfer credits with 50 remaining: Cost 17k total
-UW Flex BS in Health Science, I setup an info session to discuss
-TESU BS in Biology, I think I might need more courses at a community college to qualify?

I really appreciate everyone's help and guidance with this. You guys have created an amazing forum and structure to help other people, I've read through so many posts on here and it's been very helpful

Please be patient with this post  So I finished the WGU MS Cybersecurity.  I want to keep going but a new job is coming real soon.  That delays my decision which is good (I'm all over the place-my posts make that obvious enough).  Additional degrees will not boost my pay at this age (mid-50's).  The next degree will cover one or all of: a) Personal knowledge, b) I may want to teach and c) I'd like the title of doctor

Approaches
The Softserve: ENEB or similar.  Cheap.  Good if I can keep disciplined to finish(never started last time - somehow I can still log in after 4 years).

The Unicorn: A very inexpensive accredited foreign degree with a decent school name in the area of: Psychology(maybe [i]I/O, not interested in clinical), MBA, IT (not computer science), or cybersecurity.  A doctorate may be too much/too long while working full time.  De La Salle University and Southville sound decent.  Holy Angel (if they respond) would be a fun name [/i]

The Dabbler: Hunt down valuable/inexpensive courses that meet a) and/or b) (e.g. certificates, single classes).  Southville has this for the MBA 


The Moonbeam: A religious-based degree.  University of Sedona/University of Metaphysics seems to be a leader here.  Sedona sounds better.

My immediate plan to is take a speed reading course.  "Practice" on work documents and books I'm interested in.  I'll finish up Saylor's BUS501 (checked out Thunderbird but not interested).  By then I'll be closer to a decision.  One of the questions that's forming is "Am I preparing for a retirement job or a volunteer thing".  Full time income will be less the priority but some form of medical benefits will be necessary.

Hi all,

I am a new student starting in May and I need help with my degree plan in BLS Management. I have very few credits from community college years ago and finally in a place to return and finish. I already work in HR so just need a degree for a promotion, the BLS seemed like the best option after doing research. I have time off from work and wanted to take as many Sophia.org classes as possible in my free time. I currently have 32 credits transferred in and will list them below. Please tell me which classes I should take on Sophia. I have no kids and other obligations and can dedicate about 8 hours a a day for the next couple of weeks so want to get to as close as possible to 90 credits if not more. I'm not picky about classes and know the BLS path allows me to take more electives so if you have done this path before or have any advice/insight please let me know. I appreciate it so much.

Accepted Credits:

- First year seminar
- Psychology
- Public Speaking
- Intro to Sociology
- Intro to Business
- Organizational Behavior
- Intro to Logic
- College Algebra
- Business Communication
- Visual Communication

32 Credits

Thank you in advance, let me know if I should anymore details.

Hello, my name is kirah anderson, female, also, I don't have a car, cash, I have a id, and no laptop, graduated high school.

Hi there,

When looking at the Bachelor of Arts degree on TESU's website, I see this:

A. Intellectual and Practical Skills (15 Credits)
ENC-1010
Writing for Success
3
ENC-1020
Writing for Success II
3
COM-2090
Public Speaking
3
MAT-1210
College Algebra
3
SOS-1100
Fact, Fiction, or Fake? Information Literacy Today
3
For all TESU course options that will satisfy this area of the degree, go to Intellectual and Practical Skills.

Does that mean that if I get credits from Sophia/Saylor/etc that transfer to the Intellectual and Practial Skills area, I won't need to take the specific list of courses above?

For instance, if I took a course that transferred as DSI-2000 Visual Storytelling with Data, I wouldn't need to take College Algebra?

Thanks,
Mike

Credit transfer report and degree progress report attached. It looks as though 126 credits have been accepted leaving 10 courses for me to complete at UMPI. The only thing that I am surprised at is that the MAT140 requirement was not satisfied through completing the Sophia Calculus course.

Now that I've recieved the report, what are the next steps? I know this is a vague question but the instructions sent by UMPI are not exactly clear as to what I need to do now so I'm not sure as to what the first step is.

Hi guys. I got some bad news today and need to know if anyone can help. I have an Associates in Applied Science: Radiography (Virginia Western Community College). I transferred and am in school currently for my Bachelors in Healthcare Administration at Radford University (Carilion). I was supposed to graduate this May, as I’m in my last semester of the program, but the head of my program just emailed today and said I can’t graduate until I take 26 more credits of any class type because they missed that I didn’t have the 120 required credits to graduate with a BS. I finished my degree but because most of my Associates classes didn’t transfer over, I got no credit for them. (Something to do with my degree being an “applied” degree?) 
Is there anything I can do? Worst comes to worst I take 26 credits this summer at Radford online. There is an option for short 5 week summer classes - if they allow me to take 5 classes for the first 5 weeks and 4 classes for the last 5 weeks of summer I will do it. (3 credits per class)

(I take 5 classes a semester and work 30h a week. 
24y/o. Radford University. Good standings, 4.0 GPA. Sorry I didn’t have enough info last time!)
