Does any of the classes on the new platform have MC or fairly short classes. Specifically UL courses. Just curious. I went to the post but it's not many reviews on the new system. Sorry if this has been asked. I just don't see much since the move.

Hello,

 I already have an associates degree in CS and have around 80 credits, and I am confused about which degree would be best and hackable?

I applied at UMPI, but confused about what major should I choose. I was unaware of BLS, so is it respected? if I go for a BLS, with Information System concentration, would it be a good choice?

What is the graduation interview? Who should I contact if I haven’t heard about when mine is?

For Sophia Spanish 1, Touchstone 1.1 had me write a paper introducing myself and a friend. Touchstone 1.2 says to record a video on the same topic.

For this video, I can't tell, can I just say what I wrote in Touchstone 1.1? Or do I have to record a video of me saying something different, just on the same topic?

Thank you for any help on this! I just want to make sure I do it right.

Is there any deal or coupons for Google Coursera certifications?

Hi all,

I completed TESU BSBA in 11 months (28 hours per week). Then I completed WGU MSML in 2 months (30 hours per week). Next I would like to do MBA.

WGU won't allow a start on MBA until the next term, so requires waiting a few months (technically would be 4 months from when I completed work, but it takes a while for degree to be issued, etc. - so mainly involves waiting 3 months). In addition, WGU's terms cost $5k for 6 months.

Since I have MSML, WGU only requires 6 courses for MBA.

Walden's Tempo program is ~$3k for 3 months. And Walden also only requires 6 courses for MBA.

I really like the competency based approach that WGU uses, and I know I can complete WGU MBA in one term because WGU terms are longer (6 months). From talking with the enrollment person at Walden, when I described the educational approach at WGU, he said that sounds like the same approach Walden uses. Yet, at the same time, he said it's rare for someone to complete a Walden MBA in 1 term --- I would imagine that most people doing Walden MBA are doing 10 full courses (vs. the 6 I would be doing) and are not able to spend 30 hours a week working on the MBA.

I know it's possible to complete WGU MBA in 1 term. I'm curious if anyone here has completed Walden MBA in 1 term? Icing on the cake is if you have any type of experience at WGU and can compare/contrast.

thanks...

Hi all,

I just got an email about Sophia having an "Advisor of the Year" contest and I thought we should nominate Nancy Parks because she has been so monumentally helpful to so many of us. She takes on a lot of questions and I'm sure a barrage of emails (I know I sure sent her a lot!) and still keeps up. 

Just wanted to pass this by the forum in case anyone got the email or wanted to nominate her (or someone else -- you can nominate up to 5 advisors.)

"Each of five winning advisors will receive a $500 prize. Plus, you could win a free month of Sophia."

So... It was about this time two years ago, I was bickering with everyone on the other channel. A comment by Rachel83az led me to digress in the conversation about my daydream of planting a vineyard in my backyard. 

I so love realizing a daydream! I have reached year ONE of my Experimental Vineyard 2.0

I planted three varieties of grapevines last year. I planted Viognier, Chambourcin, and Petit verdot. When my rootstock arrived last April the vines were pretty much just twigs with roots. However, they all came to life and grew well over the summer. That was year Zero.  Just this weekend all of my vines experienced a very nice bud break. My dream of becoming  a vigneron is indeed an exercise in patience. Next spring I'm  planning on building my trellis system

I'm waiting just another couple of weeks to replant my tomato seedlings outside. Last year the Paul Robeson variety were the stars of my Experimental Salsa Farm. This year Im planting Black Crim, Better Boy, and some Beef Steak. Later in the season I will be planting some Paprika peppers, hot peppers, and some herbs.

UniAthena are promoting a new UK bachelors degree.

BA(Hons) Business Management from Abertay University in Scotland for US$9900 (total, not per year)

It takes 3 years complete and you don't seem to be able to speed up that timeline (tbc).

This is probably too expensive and long for a lot of people on this board, but if anyone in the UK wants a British bachelors degree so there are no awkward questions asked by employers, this could be a good bet!  Way cheaper than the standard bachelors degrees in the UK anyway.
