  Anyone had any specific information on what classes I should take on Sophia
Posted by: Exemys - 09-22-2025, 04:41 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (1)

Hey everyone! I’m currently enrolled at UMPI for a history focused degree and I currently am sitting at about 21 credits. I was wondering if anyone had any specific information on what classes I should take on Sophia. And if it’s possible to transfer these credits over! Thanks for your time.

  TESU - Easy RA Credits
Posted by: Paperplanes - 09-21-2025, 07:28 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

I'm back!! Thanks for all the help and guidance on this forum, its very helpful. 

I saw a post where someone is looking to complete a Associate at TESU while doing the Bachelor in the future. I am thinking of doing a similar thing. I don't have RA credits so I would need 15 RA credits for the Associate and 30 for the bachelors. 

I'm looking for guidance on how to obtain these. I've been looking at TECEPs, TEL, and UMPI. My game plan was to get all the harder classes in and complete the LL or somewhat easier classes at TESU. (Does that make sense?). For better understanding here's the remaining courses I need. I might be missing one. 

English Composition I
English Composition II

COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOC-1010: Introduction to Sociology

Introduction to Psychology 
SOS-110 Information Literacy
BUS-421 Business Administration Capstone

PHI-130 Introduction to Critical Reasoning - Transfer but I should take this for RA
GOG-230 World Geography - Maybe I could take this.


If anyone knows of a way to get RA credits fast, I am open to suggestions. Since most of these could also be completed at Sophia. Or should I stick to my original plan and complete these classes at TESU

  Modern States + Uopeople = Least expensive RA Bachelor's??
Posted by: Maniac Craniac - 09-21-2025, 01:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

I'm not too familiar with either entity, beyond the gist of what they offer. Is it possible to get a bachelor's degree with nothing more than:

1) 90 credits of free CLEP through Modern States vouchers.

2) All remaining credits from Uopeople?

If so, one could complete an RA bachelor's degree for $1,600. That would be, as far as I am aware, the current least expensive RA bachelor's.

Am I correct?

  Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies
Posted by: education_man - 09-21-2025, 12:02 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (4)

Hi, I'm newer here. I was told that I can find a transcript or degree plan with all the Sophia learning and study.com courses that will be accepted into TESU's BA liberal studies program. Does anyone have that? I plan on transferring in as many ace credits as possible and then completing the capstone to graduate. The residency requirement is waived because of my employer. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

  U of Phoenix and their $100 million IPO
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 09-21-2025, 03:46 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

U of Phoenix goes public roughly 3 months after a decision to step away from their U of Idaho merger...

Interesting turn of events, I guess after a few years of finding a buyer and failing to get one, they're going for an IPO instead...

Wow, they dropped to about 80 thousand students now, from their all time high of about half a million nearly 15 years ago!

  Can you start working on your courses before your start date or before enrolled?
Posted by: ArboristFlames - 09-20-2025, 11:49 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

So I am registered at TESU, but not yet enrolled. I am awaiting transfer credits from other universities I've attended.

I will be finishing my last courses (including the Capstone) in one semester at TESU. 

Does anyone know if I am able to start working on the assignments before I'm enrolled in the courses or before they start?

Thank you

  TESU or UMPI
Posted by: Petlady - 09-19-2025, 07:52 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

I’m a little confused with the transfer reports and determining how many credits they are requiring to complete degree. I was initially leaning TESU solely for the lack of 30 credit in house requirement but if I do need to take that many then maybe UMPI is a better option due to being able to finish a lot of classes in one semester.

Can someone look at these 2 reports and help me figure this out?

  Open Universities around the world

Wikipedia has a list of open universities.

I checked out the prices of some of these international open universities for international students. Some of them seem like pretty good deals!
