Hi all, 

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the old SNHU gen requirements and what Sophia, SDC, etc. courses fulfill these? 
I took 4 courses at SNHU back in 2019, and have recently applied to finish my degree there. I was told by my advisor that my gen ed course requirements will be following the older catalog. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I am doing my BLS with a Management Minor.  I need two more UL Electives for the Minor and I've done all I can through Sophia I believe (are there other UL transfers aside from Business Law and Business Ethics I can do at Sophia?). Are there CLEPs I could do for UL?   The offering for UL I'm interested in at UMPI is limited, as I don't want to do history/poli-sci.  

I've fulfilled all of my GEC and other Electives.  So I'm just 3 courses from being finished.  Doing PCJ 315 at UMPI, and just need two other UL options.  

Here's what I've finished at UMPI this term:

BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing
BUS 220: Managerial Accounting
BUS 244: Management Information Systems
BUS 240: Change Management
BUS 260: Leadership
BUS 330: Marketing Management
BUS 335: Organizational Behavior
BUS 415: Operations Management
BUS 469: Strategic Professional Communication
BUS 321: Human Resource Management

PCJ 315 - Pending adding


Thanks for your feedback/ideas. --- Editing to add my degree audit document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q9BC...ue&sd=true

Budget: I’m still paying off my original student loans so cheaper is better. Would also prefer knowing costs upfront (like if a course is advertised $500, it’s $500, not $500 plus a $200 homework website account and $250 book)
Commitments: I work full time M-F.
Dedicated time to study: I can study during the week after work and on the weekends.
Timeline: Would like to finish relatively quickly, but I’m new to this whole thing so I don’t have a definite timeline in mind. At the very least I’d like to get my associate’s quickly, and maybe at that point reevaluate the plan and see if I need to adjust anything.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I don’t believe I’d get anything from my work. I also have a decent income so I don’t know that I’ll get any FAFSA grants, but I’ll apply anyway.


Introduction: Hello, I started with biochemical engineering at VCU in Fall 2013. The first year went pretty well (other than I had to retake one class (Chem II) over the summer). I had to take out some big loans for the first year, but thought I’d sorted things out for my second year to where my expenses would be mostly covered. Unfortunately, I misunderstood my loan/grants situation, and had to come up with over $10K that semester. I tried not buying the textbooks, skipping classes trying to work, but the end result was I got the money but didn’t pass the classes. I decided I’d get a job and save up a year or two, then come back.

Well it’s been 10 years, and I was able to work my way up to a decent job, but I’d still like to finish getting a degree. While I enjoyed chemistry, I’ve been mostly considering computer science, as it’s a bit of what I already do, so it gives me better flexibility to move up, and in general seems more flexible in the job market than chemical engineering. 

I’m not sure if my old credits have expired, so I understand I may have to start fresh. While my main goal is a bachelor’s in CS, I’m open to finishing off an associate’s in chemistry or math if it could be done somewhat cheap, since I already did half the material.

I think I’d like to move quickly to get an associate’s, just so I can finally say I got a degree, and then take a little more time for the bachelor's if required. I’m hoping for a decently inexpensive path, but I don’t want a diploma mill either. Also, I greatly prefer being able to see full costs upfront.

Any help is greatly appreciated; I’m also very open to whatever other advice you may have, or other sites that may be of help. Thanks

I'm finishing up a PUG MSIT next month, and I was considering going for an online IT Doctorate next -- hard to justify on an ROI basis (since I'm in my mid-40s), but I really enjoy learning, it'd be partially paid for by my employer, and hey, Dr. WalrusPanda has a nice ring to it. 

The trouble with this, I've found, is basically threefold:

• PhDs are long and expensive, and I'm impatient and cheap. (University of the Cumberlands' online PhD in IT is probably the closest to what I'm looking for, but it's still a three-year program.)
  
• DBAs aren't really what I'm looking for, and there aren't a lot of cheap RA DBA IT options out there anyway. (South College has probably the best for my situation, but reading the AI issues discussed in their unofficial FB group have me a bit skittish.)
  
• More practical IT doctorates are few and far between. Middle Georgia State has a really interesting seeming DScIT program, but because I don't get my Masters until late March, I can only apply for the Summer 2025 cohort, and I don't know if I want to wait that long. 
  

• If you come in with a Masters (which you're required to), it looks like you can knock out 30 credits immediately as your cognate electives, getting you a third of the way through the degree already (assuming you want your cognate to be in what your Masters is in).
  
• The remaining 60 credits are $420 a credit, making the degree cost around $25,000 -- maybe a couple thousand more with fees. Not bad. But for PUG grads like me, though, it gets dropped to $336 a credit, which seems like a pretty great deal.
  
• From what I've read on FB, the 700 courses can be taken two at a time, which means that the degree can be finished in 8 10-week terms, or about 20 months. I couldn't find any other RA EdD that could be finished that quickly.
  
• Discussions on FB seem to imply the workload is...not easy, of course, but reasonable for a doctorate program.
  

Elon Musk is leading the lawsuit against Disney, inviting anyone whom Disney discriminated against to join the lawsuit.

Someone might want to remind Disney that The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. And not asking questions about race, yet discrimination on hiring based on race is going to get you into a lot of legal trouble. Not to mention destroy your brand.

Hello everyone, I've been in the forum for a while now and tried to read up on everything. Now, I might need some tips from you on how to plan my future studies.

Currently, I am enrolled in about 6 master's programs at ENEB:

Master in International Trade
Master in Project Management
Master in Supply Chain Management
Master in Management and Team Management
Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence
MBA - Master of Business Administration
Many might wonder why I am pursuing 6 master's courses without having a higher education degree. For me, it's a good opportunity to acquire knowledge in these areas and gain an understanding of certain topics.

Furthermore, I have been working for about 10 years in a production company specializing in plastics and metals. In my current role, I lead a department with approximately 120 employees. This is why I chose specific master's programs that I listed here.

Your location: Vienna, Austria

Your age: 35

Type of degree you're looking for: I don't have a specific focus at the moment. Initially, I aim to have an official title that I can carry, as titles are highly valued in Austria. It could be anything from an engineer, bachelor, diploma, magister, or master's degree. The key is that it is recognized in the EU, and with the Hague Apostille, there is an agreement throughout the EU. It should be from an accredited school and eligible for carrying the title. Once I have the initial qualifications, I plan to study things that interest and excite me.
I love the old titles that one can use before their name. 

Current regionally accredited credits: 0

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS credits: 0

Certifications: Six Sigma/Green Belt certified by Danube University Krems, Internal Auditor Automotive from the Automotive Cluster provider, Quality Assistant from Quality Austria according to ISO/IEC 17024, and a few internal company certificates.

Budget: I would prefer the most cost-effective path.

Commitments: I have 2 children and a spouse. I am currently working full-time and can dedicate time to my studies on weekends and, to some extent, in the evenings when the children are in bed.

Dedicated study time: I can plan to study on weekends or in the evenings when my children are asleep.

Due to my constraints, I would prefer to study only online.
