  TES-1110-TECEP AI Unlocked: Tools, Prompts, and Possibilities
Posted by: fmsoa - 09-03-2025, 12:19 AM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (8)

Very easy 100%

60 MC Questions.
20: Basic ML/DL Concetps
20: Gen AI and Prompt Engineering
20: Ethics and Cybersecurity
Again, very basic, spent no time studying. Worked on the 30 sample questions got 29 correct.

Originally not planned to really take the test. Buy since it is free from the scholarship offer, decided to take it and still got Medical Terminology and Science of Caffeine as placeholders just in case

  What is the best first CLEP exam to take in 2025 for someone new to credit-by-exam?
Posted by: Arielbr - 09-02-2025, 09:52 PM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (11)

I’m completely new to CLEP and other credit-by-exam programs (DSST, TECEP, etc.), and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the choices. For someone starting from scratch this year, what’s considered the “easiest” or most straightforward CLEP exam to begin with?

Also, is it better to pair Modern States with InstantCert right away, or should I stick to one platform for my very first exam?

  Lamar University: One Free Graduate Level Course
Posted by: SpartacusPM - 09-02-2025, 06:34 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (25)

Lamar University is offering free graduate and undergraduate level courses for non-degree seeking students. It is stated for the Fall 2025 term, about half of the courses have already started, with the other half starting in October. I applied and it took 2 weeks to hear that they accepted me.

It is first come first serve, but it also mentions a waiting list, so possible they extend this into Spring 2026

https://www.lamar.edu/lamar-university-p...n-network/

Here are the courses listed:

Graduate level:

  • Information Assurance and Security
  • Human Resources Management
  • Personal Leadership
  • Special Education Law
  • Nutrition Education and Counseling
  • Fundamentals of Leadership
  • Foundations of Professional Counseling
  • Reliability (Statistics)
Undergraduate level:
  • Data Mining
  • Industrial Engineering-Intro

  Does anyone know what the UMaine Farmington diploma looks like?
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 08-31-2025, 04:03 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (1)

I was Googling around and found two different diploma designs for UMF. Both look pretty real, but now I’m wondering, what’s the actual style they use these days?
Is it more like A or more like B?

Is it A (which doesn’t look quite as official, but the dates shown are from 2023):

Or is it B (which looks more authentic, though it’s from 2018 and might be outdated):

  The Rise of the 90 Credit Bachelor Degree
Posted by: SteveFoerster - 08-31-2025, 12:13 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I started writing a few comments for DEAC on their 90 credit degree proposal, and realized I was three fourths of the way to an essay, so I finished it.

  Prep for UMPI MAOL
Posted by: ExiledToGames - 08-31-2025, 10:26 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Hello World,

I have applied and gotten into UMPI MAOL (Master of Arts Organizational Leadership) starting on October 27th. I graduated with a Bachelors in History and Political Science (Summa Cum Laude) from UMPI in 2024. I transferred in almost 90 credits of undergrad classes in from Sophia.org.

I plan to use this degree as a backup plan to teaching if I ever want to leave the profession. My backup plan would most likely involve some sort of civil service, city government or non profits. If I continue teaching long term, this masters can take me into admin/coaching within the school system.

Is there any way I can accelerate or make my workload easier before the start date based on my undergrad history (listed below)?

Thanks!

  Monterey College of Law now WASC accredited
Posted by: ashkir - 08-30-2025, 11:45 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (2)

Not yet quite ABA, but, now WASC, Monterey College of Law in California achieved WASC accreditation recently.

https://montereylaw.edu/news/WASC-Accreditation.html

This law school has hit the spotlight several times as many of San Luis Obispo's and Kern County's DA's went there, and the DA's of these counties have endorsed/lectured there.

They have an online program that requires coming to a California campus for 1 weekend a year.

  TESU TECEP SCHOLARSHIP QUESTION
Posted by: zauh - 08-30-2025, 07:38 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi it's me again! I got an email saying I can potentially receive two free TECEP exams.

Congratulations on your admission to Thomas Edison State University! We are delighted to share more good news from TESU: You qualify to take up to two (2) TECEP exams at no cost for the September term!

Scholarship Terms:
This scholarship was made possible by the Thomas Edison State University Foundation’s Institutional Innovation Grant and is dependent on available funds for the September 2025 term, which begins Monday, Sept. 1, 2025. Registration for the September term is open. First come, first served!

Please note: this scholarship can only be used for the tuition cost of up to two (2) general education TECEP exams in this term and is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Financial responsibility for any other courses registered outside of TECEP exams will be the financial responsibility of the student.


My question is can I use this scholarship to enroll into the medical terminology TECEP? I was going to sign up for it either way by paying so I could get unlimited transcript reviews. If I were to enroll in it with this scholarship would I only have the TECEP exam available for the month of September? That's the part I'm confused about.

  LAPU Ascend Instructional Design — lIs It Still Offered?
Posted by: JC39 - 08-29-2025, 11:01 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - No Replies

I’m hoping someone here might have some clarity. I’ve been looking into the Ascend program at Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU), but it seems like it might not be offered anymore. I’ve called the school and even emailed, but I’m not really getting clear answers, and the website still shows the program.

The Ascend program looks wonderful, it’s competency-based, affordable, and exactly the kind of flexible structure that would really help in my situation especially I like this particular degree. Has anyone here recently enrolled, or do you know if the program is still running?
