Hey all,
I've been lurking, reading, wrestling and trying to figure out if UMPI is better for me than EU to complete my degree. I have to leave my current online degree program because they are winding it down. I have no problem with writing, am very disciplined, generally am able to study as much as I need but I am dyslexic. I have reading/writing software to assist me.

At first I was convinced that EU was the better match because I could get the rest of my LL credits from Sophia and add in the UL from wherever, but after reading on both boards, I'm wondering if UMPI isn't a better match. I'm not thrilled that EU has added that extra fee for TF after admission and I will def. be subject to that fee. Even though I'm not afraid, necessarily, of the capstone, I'm not certain. The language requirements from UMPI seem more daunting than the capstone tbh cuz of the dyslexia. I get that I have to make that decision for myself if the dyslexia is a bigger factor for me with languages.

Feedback would be great as well as some direction on how to proceed with getting the requisite "gen ed" for UMPI if that's the one I'm committing to. I think I am ONLY missing 1 math, 1 ethics, 2 sciences (Biology w/lab, environ. sci.) but am unsure if I need the visual communication or the US govt (all from Sophia). But maybe I am not reading UMPI requirements correctly. Then add the language courses (need 6).

However, with EU I would need quite a bit more to get to the 113. Although it's only another month or two with Sophia it's paying for more UL through some other platform which I'm loathe to do.

And yes, there are credits which will need evaluation from NACES, so I don't want to test out which uni will give me a better combo because, again, more money out of pocket.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Recently finished my undergraduate degree in Sociology from a local state university. I would like to move on and complete a Masters in either Social Work or Counseling. As with most of us, I imagine, I would really like it to be as affordable as possible. 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I'm finished with my Sophia courses so now I've been taking a look at study.com. They seem to have multiple subscription plans, but it looks like the one I need in order to be able to credit transfer to WGU is the $235 / month "COLLEGE SAVER EDITION" plan?

It seems quite expensive? 


Yes, I guess I'll see if I can find some sale, especially since I think I may be forced to spend a while on it. The classes I must work on seem like they might be time consuming ( Computer Science 204: Database Programming, Computer Science 303: Database Management, Computer Science 201: Data Structures & Algorithms, Computer Science 307: Software Engineering)

I have been testing it and can see what my credits apply for in a ton of minors now. 

This looks to be a huge step in helping people better plan their journey

I'm curious what avenues this will open up for some of the more obscure minors

Eyeing philosophy myself just out of curiosity, but planning to go for PM either way.

I have a question about VERN' and Brittany University DBA degree. Because today I was talking to a agent from Upgrad that if I already have MBA degree. It will only take me 1 year to get the DBA degree from VERN' and Brittany University. 
Here are my questions:
1) Are VERN' DBA it self will recognized as regional accredited in the U.S? 
2) The doctorate degree it self Brittany University count as regional accredited in the U.S?
3) If both count as regional accredited in the U.S. That mean I will have two doctorate degree as regional accredited or only count one degree as regional accredited?
4) Is it legal to call yourself a DR? Unlike the UCAM DBA.
5) Do you guys know any other DBA's offer double or triple doctorate degree at the same time? It must be online. I'm asking because Brittany University doesn't seem too promising to me.

If I withdraw from a class, does it affect my GPA? 

And does anyone have a quick and easy class I can take to meet my residency requirements?

I can see the finish line!! ha ha

Hello everyone! I couldn't find this information here or on the wiki page, so I hope we can add it for this particular route:
I believe I have enough credits to apply for the BAS, but I also want to transfer some credits for my minors. I'm interested in pursuing a double minor in MIS and Cyber Security.
Has anyone done both minors at the same time or transferred most of the classes for either of them?
UMPI Bachelor of Applied Science, BAS Degree Plan has all the information for the MIS, but I cannot find a transfer guide for Cyber Security. Also, do I have enough credits to be accepted, or should I add an additional Sophia class before applying?

Thanks in advance!

Minor Credits missing for MIS:
BUS 200
BUS 244
BUS 345
Electives (Choose 2) : BUS 359/405/440
                                    ENV 308 / 408

Minor Credits missing for Cyber Security:
COS 110 (Does Sophia Java applies?)
COS 210
COS 232
Electives (Choose 2) : COS 290/340/410/440/485

Hello everyone,
I would like some help with my degree plans for Pierpont BOG AAS and UMPI BA accounting. I studied engineering in Hokkaido University in Japan for a few years but wasn't able to graduate, so I'm trying to get my first bachelor's with UMPI and possibly do TESU BACS afterwards if everything goes well.
I've been reading on the forum for some time and I appreciate everyone sharing their advice and experiences. I would appreciate if the members can help me check if I'm doing everything right.
After reading on the forum that Pierpont now accepts international students, I applied to Pierpont for summer 2024 graduation. I sent them the evaluation of my foreign university transcript and I have received my student email and account. I'm currently working on Google IT Support certificate to satisfy the Information Systems AoE. I think I have the natural science requirement satisfied already, and still need communications, social sciences and computer literacy.
I applied to UMPI in February for Summer 2 start and sent them my Duolingo English Test results this month. IEE just completed my university and high school evaluation a few days ago and sent it to UMPI.
I'm going to start doing Sophia to transfer to Pierpont and UMPI.
