  Using ACTFL LTI to test my native language for easy and cheap college credits
Posted by: sakasaba - 01-08-2025, 09:46 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Basically what the title says. I'm a US citizen from the day I was born who speaks native level English. I wanted to know if anyone else has done this before and if it works, would the credits count as free electives or humanities? I plan on going to UMPI online for one of their BLS degrees.

  Will my Bachelor of Arts Computer Science accepted in Germany
Posted by: Ghosttt999 - 01-07-2025, 08:15 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (9)

Hi Everyone,

I apologies, this is my first time making a thread and actually talking on this website. I'm doing Dual Degree BA CS & BS CIS from Thomas Edison State University. I plan on doing Masters in Computer Science in Germany.

My questions are:
1) Will my Bachelor of Computer Science be accepted in Germany for Masters?
2) As I'm transferring credits from Sophia and Study.com , will that be a problem for the German universities to see most of my credits being transferred to my degree?
3) I see usually German Universities have specific requirements to have number of credits in specific courses to be eligible for Masters in Computer Science. As I'm doing Dual Degree program with plan, should I drop BS CIS and focus on BA CS and take more mathematics, theoretical computer and software engineering related courses to meet requirements for the degrees.

I don't have any specific German University in mind but I'd like to study my Masters of Computer Science in English. Some university I checked are Hasso Plattner-Institut, Technical University of Berlin but honestly I'm open to any as long as its free for international students and the language used is English.

Thank you in advance, and sorry if I'm doing anything wrong as its my first time making a thread.
Cheers!

  My Initial Plan
Posted by: Wizdom - 01-06-2025, 10:05 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - No Replies

This forum has helped me get a plan together to complete my degree, which I frankly thought I was not going to do after all this time. But seeing the results from many on here, as well as some of my former co-workers who have obtained advanced degrees via a different path as well, I am inspired and so here I am!

I put this initial plan together after researching this site, reddit and various college programs.

Location: Metro Detroit, Michigan

Age: 60
 
Degree sought: Not yet determined. Possibly UMPI’s YourPace Business Management and Leadership, B.A. However, I am still exploring the other available options. It appears that this might be the most expeditious route by taking Sophia courses before enrollment.
 
Current Regional Accredited Credits:

Henry Ford College (Listed below are the UMPI course #’s that correspond with the Henry Ford College courses that I previously completed, after reviewing Mainestreet’s website).
ENG 101
PSY 100
PSY 100
SOC 100
MAT 1XX
BIO 1XX
PSY 1XX
ANT 100
 
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience?: Former law enforcement officer.

Budget: Unlimited, but looking to be economically efficient in this endeavor.

Commitments: Part-time work

Dedicated time to study: 2-5 hours a day, five days a week or more. I expect to dedicate at least 20-30 hours a week. There will be a few weeks mixed in where I would have less time available due to work/travel commitments.

Timeline: One year to 1.5 years.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Current Plan: To complete the GEC course work requirements via Sophia then move on to the required coursework for the yet to be determined degree.

 
GEC Courses Planned via Sophia
Workplace Writing II (started 1/6/25)
Organizational Communication
College Composition II
Introduction to Ethics
US History I
Spanish I
American Government
Art 103 or Photography (Art 251)
Art History II
 
Preferences: I prefer to test out as opposed to having many assignments and assessments.

Thanks in advance for any input/feedback.

  (Unaccredited) Queens College of Theology Masters in Christian Counseling, $50 a mo.
Posted by: Bingbong - 01-06-2025, 01:38 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (12)

Hello All,

Happy New Year.

For anyone interested, Queens College of Theology is now offering a masters degree in Christian Counseling(counseling in ministry). The cost is $50 a month with no other fees. The course can take 12-24 months to complete, however, only 30 students are being admitted each term.

I would’ve been interested in this, but I already started a PHD in Christian Counseling elsewhere. Still not bad for the price.

  Lisbon Convention
Posted by: David1477 - 01-06-2025, 01:27 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I just found out about this convention but as I understand it, academic qualifications from the US/Canada/UK should automatically be recognized in EU countries if they are official.

In my case this is particularly interesting since Germany's anabin database lists UoPeople as an institution without accreditation. However, the university is accredited in the US and legally, NA and RA are equal. The fact that I can get an apostille on the degree verifies the situation that it is an accredited degree as well.

It seems like anabin's evaluation is not in line with the Lisbon convention which both Germany and the US signed. So, could I use this as a legal ground for not accepting an unsuccessful degree evaluation in Germany? Because that's what it seems like to me

  Cornerstone and Capstone
Posted by: Bm1992 - 01-05-2025, 01:00 AM - Forum: EU - Excelsior University Discussion - Replies (7)

I’m going to be starting at Excelsior in March. My plan is to transfer in all 113 credits and do their 7 credits to graduate. I already have everything mapped out to transfer in smoothly. One question though, am I able to do all three courses in the same term? Or do the Cornerstone and Capstone have to be separate?

  UMPI Management/Leadership
Posted by: HonuDiver - 01-05-2025, 12:45 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

Hello all! 

I am wanting to do a speedrun of the UMPI Bachelor of Art in Business Administration - Management and Leadership Concentration. I have seen it done here before and I have been putting it off and off and it's time. I have a baby due in late June and I would love to finish it before then (crazy I know) but I've seen it done and I'm dedicated and willing to do it. 

I currently have Sophias:
Calculus 1
Art History 2
English Comp 1 50% complete (but this one is a doozy) 
US History 1 
College Algebra

Local Community College:
Financial Accounting 1 ©
US History 2 (D - I know this wont transfer)
College Algebra (A)

I have read the degree forum with this degree plan but I know it's a few years old. I would love advice! 

Thank you!

  Help me figure out where to go
Posted by: timeinawrinkle - 01-04-2025, 09:07 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

Current position: Hybrid nursing-administrative/clerical position for a non-profit healthcare company. I do telephone nursing but also a bunch of other things involving computers. Because I am an LPN (college diploma instead of degree)instead of an RN, I cannot move "up" unless I move up in Nursing (not something I care to do) or with a degree.

Goal: Moving "up" into the ranks of my company, also getting a raise.

I'm struggling to find where to go next to get a higher degree that might make use of what I have, and preferably would be healthcare/health focused. Advice seriously needed! I am also open to Religious degree due to the nature of my organization.

*Bonus: Classes that work on my own schedule instead of the "submit this on Sunday" and the dreaded "respond to two classmates in the forum" would be fabulous.
