  South Texas College Tuition Increase
Posted by: KagomeH - 06-23-2024, 06:33 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (16)

I received word after enrolling for Fall 2024 that South Texas College will be charging regular tuition for each class for their CBE program. I am still heavily debating trying TAMUC after this news or somewhere else.

Here are the tuition rates currently as of this month.

Edit: If I completed 18 hours would be roughly $2700.

  Accounting classes at umpi, most did these at sdc
Posted by: Sarajane - 06-23-2024, 10:21 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (7)

Hi I looked through all 12 pages of the Master class reviews and didn’t see anyone talk about these classes

Bus 361 intermediate accounting 1
Bus 362 intermediate 2
Bus 464 Advanced accounting

Only one person mentioned advanced but I couldn’t find info on how many milestones, the final and who taught the class. I know most do these at study and transfer them in but most likely I will do them at umpi and wanted some more info. 
Thanks!

  Universidad España y Mexico offering online masters and PhDs
Posted by: Avidreader - 06-22-2024, 06:51 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

]Yes, we have yet another university in Mexico that offers a myriad of 100% online degrees, mostly in law and social sciences, but also have computer degrees.

The courses seem catered to Mexicans since they demand an INE voting card ID and the CURP to sign up. Masters demand a cédula profesional which could be cumbersome to obtain abroad.

Their 3 doctorate degrees in law, education and management last 2 years and are done all Saturday 8am 11 pm once a month. They also offer some other courses such as a Spanish grammar course that might be useful for TESU's Spanish BA.

Seems like the degrees have RVOE.

I couldn’t find costs of the degree on the website, but they have a triptic mentioning their doctorates cost around 2300 mxn a month which is insanely cheap. The entire doctorate would cost less than 3000 USD.

Their education masters degree costs 1900 mxn a month, so around 2000 USD.

Going to leave the two images and link to the website in case anyone is interested.

  12-month DBA (with transfer credits), ACBSP-accredited
Posted by: sanantone - 06-22-2024, 06:18 PM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (22)

Jonathan Whatley posted about William Woods University in another thread, but I thought their DBA deserved its own thread because it has three dissertation options: dissertation for professional practice, dissertation for publication, and traditional dissertation.

https://www.williamwoods.edu/academics/o...e/dba.html

They're ACBSP-accredited, tuition is reasonable, up to 50% of the program can be transferred in, and the program can take as little as 12 months to complete.

  Learning Plan for High Schooler
Posted by: halov19823 - 06-22-2024, 03:55 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (17)

I'm trying to support my 16-year-old nephew who feels behind academically due to being held back a grade. To ease his stress, I'm funding courses on Sophia, Saylor, and potentially Modern States to help him catch up. He prefers Sophia's learning format and is anxious about Modern States' CLEP prep.
I've created a tentative plan using Sophia Modern State courses for potential credit at Snow College (though I'm uncertain if they accept high school students).
Here's the list of GE equivalency transfer credits I've identified:

Snow Course Credits CLEP Equivalent Name GE
ENGL 1010 3 Expository Composition E1
HIST 2700 3 History of the United States I: Early Colonization to 1877 AI
HIST 2710 3 History of the United States II: 1865 to the Present AI
POLS 1100 3 American Government QL
MATH 1030 3 College Mathematics QL
MATH 1050 3 College Algebra QL
MATH 1060 3 Precalculus HU
ENGL 2200 3 American Literature HU
ENGL 2200 3 Analyzing and Interpreting Literature HU
ENGL 2200 3 English Literature SS
HFST 1500 3 Human Growth and Development SS
PSY 1100 3 Human Growth and Development SS
PSY 1010 3 Introductory Psychology SS
SOC 1010 3 Introduction to Education Psychology SS
SOC 1010 3 Introductory Sociology PS
CHEM 1010 3 Chemistry LS
BIOL 1010 3 Biology LS

Would anyone be able to review this plan and advise on its feasibility, especially regarding Snow College's policy on high school students? Any alternative suggestions are welcome.

Edit for more background: He's an NYC-based high school student unsure of his career path. His high school isn't partnered with College Now

  Southern Miss Online PhD in Computer Science

A fully online PhD in Computer Science is upcoming from the University of Southern Mississippi, approved this week by the Board of Trustees for the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. The program will be based on USM's on-campus program which currently leads to a PhD in Computational Science with emphasis in Computer Science. The new online program will "elevate it to a standalone degree" in Computer Science.

  Union Institute announces permanent closure
Posted by: Charles Fout - 06-22-2024, 08:54 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (2)

I do hate to see legitimate schools fall upon hard times.

CINCINNATI — Union Institute & University announced its permanent closure Friday, effective June 30. The decision follows 15 months of turmoil for students and employees of the Walnut Hills college that was a pioneer in distance learning and Ohio’s only Hispanic-serving institution.

Union’s accrediting body, the Higher Learning Commission, said the school approved teach-out arrangements with Antioch University in Yellow Springs and Lasell University in Newton, Mass.

  6 Weeks left at Sophia - Do I need anything else for Accounting
Posted by: flamewerks - 06-22-2024, 03:40 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

Hi everyone, I have 43 days left at Sophia. I want to get a Bachelor's in Accounting at UMPI. I made a degree plan and cross-referenced it with the one in the wiki. 

In the wiki, it says to do the following courses at Study.com (marked with question marks) but they are not listed as requirements at UMPI:

  • Business Math 140
  • Business 307 Organizational Behavior
In turn, the following course is listed on UMPI but not in the WIKI:
  • BUS 466 Governmental and Non-for-Profit Accounting



Also, since I have some time left at Sophia, does Sophia's Human Biology and Lab count towards UMPI? Anything else I missed?

I have attached my degree plan below.
  • Orange means it's done
  • Green means it is listed on UMPI as a requirement
  • White means it's a general requirement 


Thanks!

  Purdue Global Owes $128 Million to Kaplan
Posted by: sanantone - 06-22-2024, 03:33 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

This news story is six months old, but it's something to watch over the next couple of years. Purdue Global has an agreement to pay 12.5% of its proceeds plus fixed fees for online program management to Kaplan. From what I've heard from Purdue Global faculty, Kaplan is not good at providing those program management services. Anyway, Purdue Global has a net operating loss of $95 million, and neither the Purdue system nor Indiana taxpayers can legally cover Purdue Global's debts.

  Sample Transcript from Pierpont Needed
Posted by: Heath - 06-21-2024, 01:31 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (7)

Before taking Sophia, Straighterline.com or Study.com I am asking my local university for a bachelor’s if they will accept the credits. 

Originally they said no, but if it comes from an RA college they said maybe. They want to see an example of what the classes look like on the transcript before they tell me yes or no. 

Does anyone have a picture of thier transcript (info omitted), so I can show it to the university as an example of how Pierpont transcribes ACE? That's where I'm enrolled for classes and to send ACE. 

Are they showing graded or pass fail? Both? 

The college I'm asking is NMU, Northern Michigan for anyone wondering. 

Thanks.
