  Confusion regarding BOG fees
Posted by: soulking - 05-22-2024, 08:08 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (11)

Earlier while checking the wiki, I saw there was a $300 evaluation fee for the BOG program. Now I am seeing a $130 new student fee in some places. I checked their fees page and it lists both! [https://www.pierpont.edu/cost-aid/cost/tuition/]

There's also a technology fee mentioned there for all students. Have anyone applied for the program recently? Is it a total fee of $130 or $300? or is it both + the technology fee?

I have applied and got my creds but didn't communicate regarding the fees yet. Could anyone please clarify?

  Italian Online Master in Economics & Finance for 4.5k from a Top-School
Posted by: David1477 - 05-22-2024, 05:14 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (26)

The University of Naples Federico II, one of the best universities in Italy offers an online master in English. The price is fantastic and it's a unique program. The advisor said the program has one start per year in January. 

I felt like some people here would be interested. https://www.federica.eu/universita/maste...s-finance/

It's 60 ECTS (30 US credits) and can be completed in a year. it seems like the dissertation is shorter than for typical European masters.

  help finishing CS BA
Posted by: rensuki - 05-22-2024, 03:20 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (8)

Hi guys, so I had my phone evaluation with tesu advisor Josh today as I thought I was finishing my last CS/capstone course and being a student since 2018 I guess I made the mistake following posts like https://i.imgur.com/5siSXGN.png that were pre 2021 before the 90 credit policy change... anyway accepting that it's my fault and moving forward to summarize the phone call Josh said to take college courses:

"Two (2) Upper-Level Computer Science Electives  tesu or state college operating or information systems   CIS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING COS OPERATING SYSTEMS  OR CMP NET TECHNOLOGY 
Four (4) Free Electives community college any subject any level 
Liberal Arts Capstone (LIB-4950) "

My questions are should I finish my SDC software engi/system analysis courses anyway(i only have sys analysis exam left) and do 6 easier electives at a community college? Josh kept trying to push doing 2 UL cs courses through tesu.
And my second question is recommendations on where to take those 4-6 electives.  (is a transfer from SDC to a community college transcript then back to Tesu a workaround?) I'd prefer a self paced online course to finish asap.
The residency fee isn't an issue to me at this point.
My current spreadsheet(I shouldve been well over electives required and finishing my last capstone/sdc system analysis) :
[Image: 3bu5L5V.png]

I am reading through https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Explained and I do recognize now the policy change.

  D428 Design Thinking
Posted by: pluggingalong - 05-22-2024, 02:33 AM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (2)

I just started this class, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it. I'm still reading thing class material, and it seems to use bits and pieces of definitions from different sources. I didn't know if the final project summarizes the definitions on how to do "Design Thinking", or if I need to memorize everything I am reading (some of which is contradictory).

I love this forum and just had my degree conferred on my transcripts. I received my Board of Governers with an Area of Emphasis in Applied Process Technology! I wouldn't have been able to do it without this forum! Hopefully onto my BAS with UMPI now!

  First Generation Concerns
Posted by: colonelcamp - 05-21-2024, 05:22 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (15)

Hi Everyone,

I have a bit of a dilema that I think the answer to is clear, but wanted to get thoughts from those that might possibly be in a similar situation.

I working towards the BOG AAS and then the BAS at UMPI. I applied for the BOG AAS and I'm getting closer and closer to being able to actually enroll at UMPI, BUT...

I've got a 17-year-old HS junior that will be applying to colleges in the fall. As of right now, he would be a first-gen applicant as I don't have any kind of degree and his mom (my wife) has an AAS. I'm not really sure what kind of scholarship he might receive just on the basis of being first-gen, so I don't want to screw that up for him (and my wallet!), so I'm trying to time my enrolling at UMPI and actually finishing for after he's done applying. We don't want him to lie AT ALL on his college apps, so my plan is to wait.

Anybody experience the same situation?

  Upper-level credit/BYU Independent Study alternatives
Posted by: clarissa23 - 05-21-2024, 12:42 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (10)

Hi! Any flexible non-general education college classes out there?
Location: California, United States
Age: 18
Seeking: (Upper-level) credits for bachelor’s degree from regionally accredited 4 year college/university
Currently have 60 CLEP/community college credits and 28 credits at the 4 year I currently attend. 

I’m permitted to transfer in another 30 credits, but it has to be from another 4 year university. I heard about BYU Independent Study and it seems to be a good fit, but while I’m waiting to hear back from their scholarship office, I’m hoping to learn about other options that are out there.

  Associates TESU
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 05-21-2024, 08:42 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - No Replies

Our son is planning to get the Pierpont AAS in Finance and then the BACS at TESU. He did the EDX Info Lit course for the SOS-101 at TESU for the BACS.

My question is: If he wants to add the Associates degree in Math from TESU, will the SOS-101 course from TESU (which he would have to do at the University rather than from EDX, because the latter cannot be used for the Associates in Math but only for the Associates in Computer Science) be waived based on his prior Associates degree from Pierpont?

  UK students invading US institutions! And more...
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 05-20-2024, 08:43 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Here are three students all from deprived/underdeveloped or "lower class level" areas of the UK... I don't know, Harvard and Cambridge are pretty neck and neck with each other for one of the students... I guess they want the US experience.  Anyways, It's wonderful seeing young students, especially these ladies go into STEM fields such as computer science, engineering, etc.

Beware of fake institutions, rising from the ashes of real ones that have closed down recently... Here's an article, a few of the institutions have been talked about and one I've attended, JIU.  It's interesting how these fake ones are popping up and people aren't aware of them being fake at all, be aware, do your due diligence and research...

Fall of 2U, from $5 billion evaluation to 30 million in just a few short years!  Yes, these are the ones partnering with universities and also the ones who purchased edX.  Hopefully something happens and saves them from collapse, otherwise, what would happen with edX and whatever else these are parent companies of...

  Universidad Veracruzana virtual
Posted by: Avidreader - 05-20-2024, 07:07 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

I heard there's some online college degrees in the Mexican Veracruz State U university and checked the degrees they offer.
They have online bachelors in:
International Business administration
International Agrobusiness
Political Science
English Education
Education (Technology focus)
Art Education
Oil engineering
logistics and customs
Psychology

Masters degrees:
Chinese and Latin American economy and society (this one seems quite interesting. Never seen this degree elsewhere before).
Art education
Prevention of drug consumption (I assume this is a Clinical Psychology related masters degree?)

https://www.uv.mx/oferta-educativa/virtual/

For students that are fluent in Spanish, they might find this information to be useful. I quite find the Chinese masters interesting because they also include Chinese-Mexican history and Mandarin language courses.

I am looking at the website more closely and they accept international students, but at least for the masters degrees they require several things:
Pass both the Exanii II and Exanii III exam
English exam, they probably will be ok with a toefl
Apostillate and translate to Spanish Foreign bachelors degree
Bachelors requires a minimum gpa of 80 in the Mexican system, I will assume this is equivalent to 3.0 USA system.
2 letters of reccomendation
Curriculum vitae and reasons why applicant is interested in the program.

The chinese-Mexican masters lasts 2 years and charge 10,700 MXN per semester. They don't offer scholarships. Titulation and social community service can be done 100% online. Seems like graduation is via thesis

The prevention of drugs masters seems to be multidisciplinary, possibly also aimed at graduates of med school and public health. That degree lasts 2 years, requires a semestral payment of 12,000 MXN, entrance exam that costs 1165 mxn or mexican citizens and 3406 mxn for foreigners. Also must take an introduction course that costs 1500 MXN.

Checking the Oil Engineering online bachelors degree. Inscription costs 518.70 mxn for Mexicans and 2000 mnx for foreigners. Each course costs 580 mxn. Seems like they accept payments via credit card. The online degree is minimum 9 semesters max 14 semesters. Online degree seems to have 33 courses. I will assume a rough tuition estimate should be 19,140 mxn.
