I needed 1 clep credit earlier in the year to get my associates and finished 4 months ago. 



Finally got the greenlight to walk 

Greetings to all,

I have a family member looking to complete a Bachelor of liberal studies - management minor at UMPI, capitalizing on Sophia credits to transfer 90 credits to the degree. The current requirements are as follows: 40 credit hours GE courses, 18 credit hour courses of Management minor (Bus 141 Intro to project man with Microsoft projects, Bus 240 Change management, Bus 321 Human resource management, Bus 415 Operations management, PCJ 215 Business communications), 62 credits Electives.

This family member is starting from scratch with no previous credits. We are in Canada. She is currently working a full time job so evenings and weekends are available. Need a ticked box for promotion. Prefer as little proctored exams as possible. She speaks Mandarin (but cannot read or write it, she immigrated at a young age). 

Is the following list still applicable from Federicojavier?

Many more protests are happening at universities, here's an article about the subject...

I understand some US graduate schools do not recognize those non-regionally accredited credits. I transferred in 113 credits to Excelsior College, and I am applying for a graduate program, and then they replied to me.
"Please note, we do not typically accept LLCs or study.com as valid credits for a degree."
"To be able to review this previous educational history we will need to see either a WES or ECE evaluation, against US degree types, for the transcripts mentioned. The transfer credits you listed are not associated to a degree program at a university, therefore we cannot verify that they would count as credits to a US degree."

I would like to ask if my 113 ACE and NCCRS would be recognized by WES or ECE ?

Thank you so much for your help !

Hi DegreeForum,

I came to the forum ~ a moth ago and posted this: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid416161, asking your guys' advice on choosing whether Management Leadership or Project Management track and I have decided to go with the Management leadership track, and I also need to thank @bjcheung77, @levelup and @ss20ts.

In the mean time I read a few degree plans on this forum and wikis, and this degree plan this the one I am going with: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-for-3-222, 

In the past month I have knocked down a few courses on Sophia(54 credits) 



Your Location: Ontario, Canada
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Business undergrad for now, MBA or Georgia Tech OMSA later
Current Regional Accredited Credits: My past undergrad school in China is a disaster in paper work and now the campus I went to got shut up. So basically no

But I do have an MCIT(Master of Computer Information Technology) from NAU(Northern Arizona Uni) 30 credit hours of grad-level studies

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 
Sophia Credits: 54(but a lot of them have pretty bad grades like in 70% or 80% since I was rushing it, but later finished courses got better grades was in 90% since I got more used to this format, if I want to apply for some good grad school, does grades on sophia matters?)

Ancient Greek Philosophers
Art History I
Art History II
Business Law
Conflict Resolution
Environmental Science
Financial Accounting
Human Biology
Introduction to Business
Introduction to Ethics
Introduction to Web Development
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Project Management
U.S. History I
U.S. History II
Visual Communications
Workplace Communication

Sophia in progress:
Approaches to Studying Religions(pretty boring, any suggestion on substitutes?)
Introduction to Sociology: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration
Human Biology Lab

Haven't move on to Study.com yet.


Any certifications or military experience? I have a CompTIA A+, PMP, Coursera Google IT and Project Management, and Meta Front End Developer. Also Google Data Analyst in progress(yes I study for fun)
Budget: under 6K USD for undergrad, 10-20K for OMSA or UIUC iMBA
Commitments: Only part-time employment, newcomer to Canada, and my past work experience was not that much recognized
Dedicated time to study: 30-40hrs a week
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I am looking to finish in two sessions,  one session would be even better
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No, but maybe OSAP will grant me a small loan after I receive my PR

Your Location: Pennsylvania
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: BABA Management & Leadership
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 
Sophia Credits: 19 (started on 4/10, planning on getting at least 60 here and moving to UMPI)

US History 1 87% (could have score higher but did not take it seriously as it was my first course. Eventually started being serious and got full marks on the Touchstone)
Intro To Nutrition 98%
Intro to Ethics 80% (this was Klingon to me)
Macroeconomics 92%
Dev Effective Teams 100%
Visual Communications 92%
Health, wellness and fitness 98%

Currently 50+% into Intro to Business and Environmental Science with a 95%+ score in both. 

Any certifications or military experience? I have a RE Broker's License in PA.

Budget: Can pay as needed. 

Study Budget: Can study as much as I please as kids are self sufficient (preteens) and in extracurriculars).

I am a business owner and due to the nature of my work I am in court a lot, mainly LT court. I've decided to go to law school to show my kids that even though I have an ok job wit h no degree, you should always strive to do better in life. I've been reading the forums and it seems like I need at least 60 credits in an actual college to receive a good enough GPA to boost my chances of getting into Law School. I plan on doing all the Study.com classes found here at UMPI instead as I do not want to pay 250 per month and be only relegated to doing only 5 exams a month. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

I do not want to go to an Ivy or even T20 school for Law School and honestly University of Florida is my first choice (ranked 28th). I chose this school because I'm moving 31 miles from Gainsville in 2025. 

I am a single father with sole custody, fidget a lot and work irregular hours so I have UMPI as my choice for undergrad.  I'm currently being mentored by a district court judge, have 3 letters of recommendation from 3 attornies who are pushing me to go and 2 friends that are attorneys who claim to have jobs lined up for me if I pass the bar. 

In addition to the 19 credits I currently have, which of these courses make sense to do at Sophia and then transfer to UMPI?

Biology and Lab (4 credits)
Spanish (3 credits)
History 2 (3 credits)
College Algebra (3 credits)
intro to Business (3 credits)
Environmental Science (3 credits)
US Government (3 credits)
English 1 and 2 (6 credits) 
Intro To Stats (3 credits)
Critical thinking (3 credits)
Financial and Managerial Accounting (6 credits)
Business Comms, Ethics and Law (9 credits)
Principle of Finance and Management (6 credits)
Intro to Sociology (3 credits)
Public Speaking (3 credits)
Workplace Communication (3 credits)

I'd love to get some feedback on this as I am not very versed in the college acceptance pathway in this country as I never went to school in the US.

I came across these courses https://courses.openmined.org/

It looks like it teaches how to work as a data scientist by respecting the privacy of the organization you work with. I didn't come across any course that was teaching that on the internet so I found that interesting .

there are 3 courses so far from what I have seen.

Hello, 

Newbie here so excuse newbie mistakes. I am trying to pivot from cybersecurity to nursing, which means I have to start from scratch again. I'm trying to find an affordable accelerated program for a bachelor's/master's degree holder. My budget is 20k USD.  Please help me find the right program. I do not mind on-campus as long as it is accelerated or would allow me to graduate within 12 months including the pre-reqs. 

Your Location: Michigan, USA
Your Age: 40s
What kind of degree do you want?: BSN-RN or MSN-RN accelerated nursing for Master's/Bachelor's degree holder of a different major
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 30 master's and 120 bachelor's 

School Name Total Credits: 
George Mason U - MS AIT - Cybersecurity (2018)
Davenport U - BBA - Management (2007)

I have most of the gen ed credits (not sure if they are still valid after all these years), I do need bio, chem, and other science credits (I did physics I, psychology, child psychology, statistics 101, and college algebra in my undergrad).


Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0 

Provider Total Credits: 0 

Thank you in advance. 

As many of you know, the American Dream Academy is closing Tuesday. The FAQ at their website,
https://theamericandreamacademy.org/, states  "MCAAD, Coursera, and our partners are extending free and discounted access options so that TADA learners can continue with their courses and pursue their goals." I have heard nothing about the extension and Coursera customer service has no information. 

I completed two certificates and am in the middle of a third which I can not finish by the 30th.  Does anyone know about free or discounted access to Coursera going forward? Thank you.

I am a great test taker with excellent reading comprehension. I am a fast reader. I also have strong writing and research skills. I have decent potential for math


I have tried several times for a degree but life got in the way..this has put me in a position of acquiring a mountain of credits due to "losing" credits each time I transferred schools. I'm tired of it and I just want to see what I can do to turn all my hard work into something tangible. 


I don't need this for a current job or career, I just want to satisfy a life dream of finally getting a bachelor's degree (or two, if that's an option). And if I can learn something about topics that interest me, all the better. I would love to learn more about underlying concepts related to running own business, programming own website and building own app, training pre-existing "base" AI Models to work with your own art.

Thank you so much for your help and thoughts!
