  Excelsior Bachelor Degree Requirements - Gen Ed, Electives, Major
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 04-30-2025, 07:17 PM - Forum: EU - Excelsior University Discussion - No Replies

Basically, I've been noticing questions in regards to finishing general education, electives, and the major requirements for the BLSA, BSBA and other new degree offerings they have... An example solution, you can fill those requirements with course offerings from Study.com...

Study.com just rolled out a major update:
No more unnecessary quizzes
New pricing models with unlimited monthly access

College Starter - $95/month: Unlimited courses (in a month), enroll in 2 at a time (lower division) 
College Saver - $235/month: Access to all upper + lower division, enroll in 3 courses at a time, with no limit on how many you can take in a month
No proctoring, no busywork, 100% online and self-paced

Affordable upper level courses that can't be found using alternative credit may be available using Study.com as they have a wide variety of upper level classes that may fit in your degree requirements and/or within the major. I highly recommend investigating this avenue further.

Here's my link if you're looking to check it out further: https://bit.ly/3RTJ3I9

Would love to hear what others think. These changes at Study.com feel like a big step in the right direction...

  TESU Bachelor Degree Requirements - Gen Ed, Electives, Major
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 04-30-2025, 07:10 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - No Replies

Even though there are degree plans on the WIKI, I've noticed prospective students struggle with creating a spreadsheet, and finding where to complete the degree requirements. They get the feeling of being overwhelmed and feel they can't get to the finish line.  An example solution, you can fill those requirements with course offerings from Study.com... 

Study.com just rolled out a major update: 
No more unnecessary quizzes 
New pricing models with unlimited monthly access 

College Starter - $95/month: Unlimited courses (in a month), enroll in 2 at a time (lower division) 
College Saver - $235/month: Access to all upper + lower division, enroll in 3 courses at a time, with no limit on how many you can take in a month 
No proctoring, no busywork, 100% online and self-paced 

A big plus for me is that upper level courses are available if you need to get the requirements for the major or to knock out the tougher credits cheaper, easier, and faster than a traditional college course. 

Here's my link if you're looking to check it out further: https://bit.ly/3RTJ3I9

What do you think of the changes? It seems like Study.com is listening to what the student needs...

Does anyone have or know of a good degree plan for an Economics major? Or just know good sources to get Upper Division Economics credit? I've only found good credit for intro micro/macro, I can't seem to find any other cheap economics credit

  Delay in WES Evaluation – Structuralia Not Sending Documents?
Posted by: Katz23 - 04-30-2025, 04:05 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has had trouble getting their documents from Structuralia sent to WES for evaluation. I completed my Master’s with them, and it's been almost three months since I requested the transcript to be sent, but WES still hasn't received anything.I've followed up several times and asked for a tracking number, but I haven’t received it. It’s been difficult to reach the right person for a proper update.Has anyone here experienced something similar? Were you eventually able to get your WES evaluation done successfully? Any advice would be appreciated.Thank you!

  Any heavy proctored Master degrees 100% online?
Posted by: Oktoberfest - 04-30-2025, 11:33 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (13)

Tried to search myself but didn't find something.
Are there any Master degrees with proctored exams available - instead of writing papers? Each course a proctored exam (multiple choice) and you be done?

  Help needed for degree planning
Posted by: Epiphany.y - 04-29-2025, 09:34 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

This is a really great forum. I've been lurking here for a few weeks and have learned a lot of knowledge. Now I've decided to register because I have an idea and I'm not sure if it's feasible, so I'd like to ask for everyone's help.
 
I'm an international student currently in my junior year of an undergraduate English major. I want to apply for a Bachelor of Arts in English at either the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) or Thomas Edison State University (TESU). However, I only got a score of 5.5 in IELTS and 95 in Duolingo, which fails to meet the minimum language score requirements for admission. I noticed that for a bachelor's degree at the University of the People (UoPeople), only a Duolingo score of 95 is required. So, can I first apply for a degree at UoPeople, take some courses, earn some credits, and then transfer to UMPI or TESU to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in English in the middle of my studies? Is this plan feasible?
 
I have a limited budget. What kind of credit matching plan would be the most cost-effective?
 
Thank you all.

  ETAMU CBE Master Degrees
Posted by: SpartacusPM - 04-29-2025, 06:59 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (22)

I know there was mention on the forum of free graduate level courses at the end of 2024/ start of 2025 for ETAMU as a pilot program of sorts. While they are still waiting for approval here are the focuses for these Masters programs. No announced start date, although the original plan was for Fall of 2025.

MS in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Corporate Training and Development
MS in Public Safety with an Emphasis in Disaster Preparedness
MeD in Instructional Design with an Emphasis in Artificial Intelligence.

  Quick (Prefer before August 2025) Bachelors
Posted by: jimmydfi - 04-29-2025, 12:22 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (12)

I know this has been asked 78,000 times on here but I am getting dizzy with all options and what transfers where and for what. I am looking to get a Bachelors Degree preferably in Elementary Education. I am only wanting this degree to become head coach of a high school baseball team that will be starting in August. I can get by with just 60 credits as an assistant coach but we need a head coach that nobody is willing to do. I will also donate my time as a substitute at the school, hence the reason for Elementary Education. I will not accept any money for coaching or substituting, so cost is a slight factor. I have knocked out some very easy courses at Sophia in 3 weeks, I find that platform extremely easy to use as well as cheap. I have looked at UMPI and WGU to complete this degree, so those are preferred. 

Things to consider:
I am not the greatest at complex math
I will not be getting paid for this degree (I have a very good paying job anyways)
I can spend between 3-5 hours a day on study/exams but I can turn up the pace if needed
I prefer non proctored simply because I am not familiar, I am willing to try it though
I really like the Sophia platform

Credits I currently have since starting Sophia 3 weeks ago

Health Fitness and Wellness HLTH1011
Criminology SOSC1050
Anatomy and Physiology 1 SCIE1050
Financial Accounting BUSI1010
Intro to IT CS1001
Human Biology HumBio 1001
Into to Nutrition HLTH1010

I truly appreciate all the time you all are dedicating to helping others achieve their life goals!!!

  Money Talks
Posted by: chopliver2 - 04-28-2025, 10:37 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

In the USA money talks... by extension that USUALLY means profit and choice



When searching for quick and potentially cheap and easy University options within the United States your framework should consider places that include but are not limited to for-profit, faith, accept the lesser forms of alternative credits e.g. ACE, and accredited by certain bodies such as HLC, DEAC, or NA.



Don't hate the player, play the game.
