  UMPI BLS Degree planning advice, need help
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 04-05-2024, 12:22 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (18)

Your Location: Hong Kong
Your Age: 25
What kind of degree do you want?: Any BLS degree from UMPI, prefer MIS/PM/ Management minor
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 

Liverpool International College Foundation Certificate in Business, Law and Social Sciences, RQF Level 3, 80 UK credits in total (no idea of US equivalent )
Got one Certificate of Higher education from the University of Liverpool UK (CertHE), RQF Level 4, no idea what is the equivalent for US schools, quit in year one, majored in marketing, and 120 UK credits in total
On progress: ENEB Supply Chain Management+MBA (60 or 120 ECTS in total? Not sure for dual program)
XAMK Diploma of Higher Education in Tourism and Service Business Management contains 60 ECTS in total (still waiting for results)
XAMK certificate of the introduction of video games creation did not finish it all, probably get 9 ECTS with all the quizzes, still waiting for results
Few free Helsinki University credits, 4-6 ECTS probably


Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none

Budget: Around 5k-7k ish

Timeline: Want a degree ASAP, whatever subject is fine for me

Any certifications or military experience? none

How can I possibly get my degree as fast as possible? Do the ENEB courses get evaluated by ECE as RA bachelors as the website states? (https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB) Is it possible to waive the GEC by the ENEB masters?

How many ECTS can be converted into US RA credits? I know that 2 ECTS=1 US credit roughly, but I have no idea how they calculate that stuff as I am a bit confused. Are the ECTS gained by Finnish schools to be counted as electives or RA credits (no idea does RA credits can be treated as electives or not) for the UMPI-BLS program after getting evaluated by ACEI? I know that TESU accepts ACEI evaluation, but how does UMPI evaluate ACEI reports? Do they accept it or they don't accept Finnish ECTS studies like TESU does? Is TESU a better route for me? 

Just want a degree as fast as possible, no matter what major, preferably the vague ones like Liberal Studies. As I am aware the program requires 62 electives in total, but I don't know whether the ECTS can be they can be evaluated as electives or not. Should I be doing Sophia instead for a faster route?

I have done a lot of research but couldn't find the answers to all the questions. Sorry for the bad English. but need advice badly! Thanks guys!

  CLEP Economics
Posted by: marinereef - 04-04-2024, 07:51 PM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (8)

I have plenty of experience with CLEP. I have noticed that their test content often changes, and does not agree with the practice questions in their own books. For instance, I spent a bunch of time practicing various types of math problems that were not on the math test at all. 

I plan to take Micro and Macro Economics this summer. The latest books from CLEP show these tests as being pretty much 100% math problems. I am looking for anyone who has taken these tests recently who can confirm how much was math, and how much was concept knowledge.

Thanks very much.

  Two degrees?
Posted by: hello_there - 04-04-2024, 04:23 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (11)

Okay, I searched and didn't have luck finding an answer.

I'm finishing up my Bachelor of Arts in Accounting with minors in MIS and project management and will be done with all classes in August.

I went to add an extra class to keep me full time for my last term (using VR&E) and realized that with all of the classes i've completed (will graduate with over 150 credits because of credit requirement to test for CPA) that I will also have all classes required for the BBA - Project Management & Information systems program. 

Is there a possibility that I can graduate with both of these degrees? or add Business Administration as another major on my accounting degree?

  Eligibility and Transfer Credits for Pierpont’s AAS Program
Posted by: akr680 - 04-04-2024, 11:27 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (19)

 I recently learned that Pierpont Community & Technical College now accepts international students, although visa sponsorship is not available. As someone who has been residing in the United States for the past 10 years, I am keen to explore educational opportunities.


Here’s a bit about my background:


  • I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from India.

  • Over the years, I’ve accumulated approximately 90 ACE credits through various learning experiences.


Now, I have a few questions regarding the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program at Pierpont:

  1. Eligibility Requirements:
    • Could someone please clarify the eligibility criteria for the AAS program? Specifically, what are the prerequisites for admission?
    • I understand that the AAS degree is available only to students who have not completed any prior college degree at the Associate level or higher. Is this correct?
  2. [size=undefined]Transfer Credits:[/size]
    • I’m interested in transferring my prior coursework (BBA, MBA, and ACE credits) toward the AAS program. Are there any restrictions or guidelines for credit transfer?
    • How can I ensure that my existing credits align with the AAS requirements?
  3. [size=undefined]Making Use of ACE Credits:[/size]
    • I’d like to maximize the use of my ACE credits. Could someone provide guidance on how to do so effectively within the AAS program?
  4. [size=undefined]BS CIS Capstone:[/size]
    • Currently, I’m just one course (the capstone) away from completing my BS in Computer Information Systems (CIS) from Thomas Edison State University (TESU). However, I’m hesitant to spend the additional $6,000 for that single course. Is there a way to leverage my existing credits or explore alternative options?

  Recent Evaluation for Google IT Support

Unsure of exactly where to post this but I recently transferred the Google IT Support Professional cert taken via Coursera and it transferred differently than what is there as the equivalent for TESU on the Wiki. Got 15 credits for it.

Came in as 3 CR each for: CIS-1070, CYB-1200, ITS-1400, ITS-1600, ITS-2610

Screenshot added also.
