  500+ UGC-Approved Online Degrees from India’s Top Universities
Posted by: NotJoeBiden - 05-03-2025, 12:10 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Class Central made a list of online degrees from India. 

"At Class Central, we’re big fans of low-cost online degrees like Georgia Tech’s Online Master’s in Computer Science (OMSCS), which costs $7000.

But India’s new online degrees are priced lower than that. The most expensive ones, like IIT Madras’ BSc or Amity University’s MBA, cost half as much as Georgia Tech’s online degree. And the cheapest bachelor’s degree, IGNOU’s Bachelor of Tourism, costs ₹10,200 or about $135"

  Guidance after UMPI changes
Posted by: bandito_crispeta - 05-02-2025, 11:54 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me plan my degree after these recent changes UMPI made. I am set on getting a BLS. I will minor in management, but I want to then add business and make it my first minor, then management. 

Can anyone help me, please? I have done a bunch of SOPHIA already... now some classes won't transfer into UMPI. I'd love if anyone could give me a fresh degree.
Also, I want to make sure that degree includes at least 3 upper levels that will transfer to the MAOL at UMPI.

Thank you so much!!!

  UMPI transfer database update 5/1/2025
Posted by: Hotdogman1 - 05-02-2025, 08:04 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (38)

Edited to add: Current main spreadsheet:
Link to the google sheets. You can make your own copy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
Link to the published version: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e...5D/pubhtml

I'm sure most of you are aware by now, but there have been updates to the UMPI transfer database that went into effect on May 1, 2025. It appears that these changes may impact how transfer credits are evaluated especially for Study.com and Sophia credits. I was in the process of helping a friend get 90 transfer credits so I thought I'd share what I did while the wiki is being updated.

This link leads to a Google Sheet with every ACE course/provider that satisfies the GEC Requirement: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e...Zd/pubhtml Copy paste everything into a spreadsheet and convert it into a table. This will allow you to select your preferred providers. All expired ACE courses have been removed.

This is a link to another Google sheets I made earlier just for Sophia. I changed it so you could actually copy the data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e...Px/pubhtml

I used data from the UMPI Transfer Database: https://mainestreetcs.maine.edu/psp/CSPR..._GUEST.GBL?
I'll be uploading BAS/BLS and BABA PM at the very least (probably tomorrow or the day after).

Has anyone taken this and can you share your experience?  How much time does each course take and what are the paper/projects like.  Or if you did the final test option instead how difficult was the test and how to best prepare for it.  Thanks!

  Sophia and SDC Courses Have Been Gutted By UMPI
Posted by: Swiss Cognac - 05-01-2025, 01:58 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (42)

So it seems those interested in doing the BABA are screwed. The degree is now not hackable. All of the SDC and SOPHIA business courses that satisfied major degree requirements will now only transfer to UMPI as Business electives.

This is very devastating to the people who were completing the BABA degrees. It sucks that this came without warning. 

I am in the process of BA Psych and I have found only one of my classes has been affected (so far).


Here is the link to the transfer database to check your degree requirements by each course:

  tDr. Steve Levicoff has passed away

The other channel reported that Steve Levicoff passed away on  April 25. He certainly was among the OGs in the field of distance education, particularly regarding Christian graduate level schools and credentials.

Condolences to his family, friends, and all who admired him.

  Cheap PsyD or PhD in Psychology, online
Posted by: Yana - 05-01-2025, 05:18 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (13)

Hello, I’m looking for a PsyD or PhD in psychology (preferably clinical) that is online and is affordable. Must be accredited (if in US it should be regionally accredited). Due to my nationality it’ll be hard to do programs that require me to visit campus in US and most of Europe (due to visa issues) so prefer an online program. Will consider non US programs as well, as long as it’s a legit degree (and is in English). The cheapest I was able to find on my own is California Southern University. I know that there are some affordable universities in Asia, but I’m overwhelmed with the search. 
I have read that there are fully funded doctorate programs in Europe but I wasn’t able to find anything that is online. Looking forward to any info. TIA.
