Scenario: Hi! first time on here, I took my TEAS exam today with Ocean County College for their nursing program, scored a 71.3%. Spoke with advisor and timing for ASN looks rough,
I'd like to do an accelerated BSN program, Did look at TESU and I'm interested in the Spring Cohort start time. Just also wanted some advice since i do currently have 46 credits
But I'm willing to do anything online/Sophia, doesn't also have to be TESU but it's an option I've looked at. Also I do start County College next Thursday for my last 2 pre-reqs for the bachelors
program there (sociology of the family & Computers) but if I could get a good plan I'm willing to drop them and focus on Sophia (also not have to pay extra and waste time in person) Also programs nearby ofc! Thank yall!!! (attached is a copy of my unofficial transcript, I also have a 3.4 GPA)
I just finished my StC classes and now I need to start at TESU. I only have to take and want to start as soon as possible. I see there is a registration deadline for 8/29 (tommorrow!). I have an approved "plan", but I have not registered for any classes. Tonight I am at least trying to sign up for the first class, "SOS-1100 Information Literacy Today". I've never been to TESU, so I am little wonky on their website, but I have added "SOS-1100" to my "plan", but have not assigned it to a term or "section". I am not sure what a "section" is. Is it possible for me to get signed up tonight? I will be calling them early tomorrow (Friday morning). There was a warning notificattion saying the dead line tomorrow is for October, but the Academic Calendar says it is for September. .
Starting today, no Straighterline courses require proctoring for the final exam. This is a huge step forward in creating an easier and less invasive experience for students! You have until midnight 8/31 to go to any of their partner pages and get the $349 deal for 27 gen ed courses. They're just loaded into your account and you have 4 months to complete the ones you want/need.

Experienced cybersecurity professional looking to be more well rounded on the business and accounting front (maybe hang my own shingle) who is primarily looking for a JD to leverage/navigate federal regulations and contract law. Feel a LMS in Cybersecurity Law or Contract Law will not benefit me due to the circles I work within.
Will go to WGU for the Masters in Cybersecurity (paying out of pocket) and will complete the degree (transferring in max credits) within one term.
Primary question(s):
Wanting to learn Accounting sitting through some of the classes but also want the option to cut down on costs (learning through Study.com or other service) and then transfer into accepting university.
After getting the Masters in Cybersecurity, what is the best way to pursue the MBA? Any graduate courses I can take elsewhere and transfer in to a degree?
Masters in Accounting totally open to suggestions.
JD - Looking at St. Mary's but again open to other ideas so long as it meets the requirement to take the bar in Texas.
I’ve decided on a TESU Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies with no concentration. I need 5 upper-level courses from Study.com before I enroll in the Info Lit and Capstone. These courses have already been approved by advising, and the ones I’m considering are:
White Collar Crime
Sociology of Work
Social Psychology
Organizational Theory
Psychology of Personality
I understand subjectivity and relevance of experience, but I’m looking for the easiest 5 UL courses that will definitely transfer into TESU as Liberal Arts credits. I’m using this degree mainly as a check-box for a promotion tool, so I don’t need a minor and don't particularly care about the subject matter. I'm not married to these courses I selected.
I love how helpful everyone is around here, so basically.... if you know of any other upper-level Liberal Arts courses on SDC that are easy and will definitely transfer as UL Liberal Arts credits, I’d really appreciate your suggestions and experiences. TY!
My husband has a partial scholarship for James Madison University. He wants to get his M.Ed. in Teacher Leadership fully online asynchronous, since he can only do online learning not in campus. He is in-state but travels often.
A little about him:
• Bachelor’s Degree: Lib Studies from a regionally accredited school.
• Experience: Teaching at a trade school and experience in tech, business, and leadership.
• Eligibility: The program is meant for public school teachers, but JMU confirmed he can apply since it benefits him in teaching.
• Family ties: His father graduated from JMU, so he has personal ties to the school and want to be an alumni. .
• Prior graduate experience: He earned a MAOL from UMPI last year.
Goal:
• He wants to finish as quickly as possible.
• JMU allows up to 10 graduate-level transfer credits. Since he could transfer 10 credits, he would have 20 credits left, which he could finish in two semesters.
• He is considering University of the People (UoPeople) or similar affordable, accredited programs for potential transfer credits to save money and accelerate graduation. He anticipates to start next year due to scheduling but would prefer to take these grad courses if it transfers.

Do you think it’s possible for someone with a RA degree and prior graduate coursework to transfer 10 credits to JMU, leaving him 20 credits to complete over two semesters?
Anyone know of an applied CS Master's with no GRE requirement for someone with a 3.0 GPA in Software Development? Don't have the math for a theory heavy CS and needs to be a program that a large financial institution would consider "acceptable" to be enrolled in for an internship so nothing piecemeal will work. TIA
My daughter (19) is wrapping up her last term of college. She will be graduating from TESU with an AS in Bus Admin and a BA in Psych. (Yes - gobs of alt credit thx to this group and free PSEO from our state). She wants to further her studies, but never had any intention of pursuing psych further. In other words, she never wanted to be a therapist etc.
She took a break for the last eight months and participated in the Disney College Program, which she loved. She learned that she loved hospitality, and we are wondering what to do next. She is considering an eCornell certificate in Hospitality Management, but could earn an additional associate's or bachelor's (or master's???) in Hospitality.
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. Her theory is to earn now, while she still lives at home and doesn't have the added expense of rent, car payment, etc ...
She prefers online learning and, while low cost is important, she has considerable savings and is not opposed to spending it for the right program.
