  Georgia Tech MS Cybersecurity
Posted by: tdat314 - 04-25-2025, 11:35 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (1)

Hey everyone, I will be starting at Georgia Tech this fall semester in the MS cybersecurity program and was wanting to see if there's a more current feel for the program on the forum. 

I've seen the program mentioned a few times but its not very well discussed and only mentioned in passing about other graduate options or in regard to the Computer science program.

Hey all, 

I'm trying to help a friend of mine. Has anyone done a masters degree at ENEB? Is it useful at all for contractor jobs after leaving/retiring? Any help or information is appreciated, thanks!

  Can I come back to complete BABA M&L
Posted by: Alim83 - 04-24-2025, 08:42 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello folks,

I completed a BLS with a Minor in Management and Political Science in 2023 . I want to come back and complete a BABA in M & L if possible otherwise I will have to go with Project management .

When I crunched everything I have about 8 or 9  courses left to do ( only completed macro, not micro for economics). Is it possible to proceed with BABA M&L and take 2 extra electives to fulfill the residency requirement?

It focuses on essential workplace skills that are relevant and transferable across industries and roles. The program is available in more than 130 countries globally.

Application criteria is for those that are non-people managers, or are not yet managing people in a corporate setting, so answer accordingly to make the cut for the program.  It does take a couple of weeks to hear back on admission once the application is accepted, as there are rolling cohorts and admission is contingent on the next cohort scheduled. Once admitted the course can be completed at your own desired pace; networking part is ongoing.

  TESC BA LS with CS concentration
Posted by: pluggingalong - 04-24-2025, 06:19 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

If I was enrolled in the Liberal Studies with Computer Science concentration, what would the classes be like?  I would be able to transfer in a lot of classes from various colleges, probably about 90+ credits. 

I have difficulty with classes that use a single pass/fail exam, and am looking for classes that use a single "project", or break up the testing in to several smaller exams.

My main goal is to get a degree, and most of my credits are IT related.  I have a lot of interests, and have credits in weird topics (like film production). I have traditionally pursued IT degrees, but hit some kind of wall. My current wall are the certification exams that WGU likes using. I use to think of "Liberal Studies" as a degree in nothing, but they do seem to be a good fit for me and my many interests. I'm almost retired, so I don't need a degree for job searching, I want one for me.

The most important thing for me, is how the classwork and tests are done. I'm not worried about the cost, though I would prefer to be able to finish in about a year.

  Is there a college that uses projects for credit?
Posted by: pluggingalong - 04-24-2025, 03:32 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (13)

I'm not good at taking classes that use a single pass/fail exam, but I am good at classes that use projects for credit. Is there a college that uses projects for credit?  Using several small exams would be okay, but projects would better. NAU-PL use to use essays for credit, but they are shut down now.  Ideally the school would be non-profit and regionally credited. I have a lot of gen-ed and IT credits that wouild transfer in, probably about 90 (usually the limit). I had been pursuing "competency based" schools, but for my last year of college, a "regular" school might be better. Maybe I need to go back and look at TESC and COC.

  Completed ETAMU - BAAS: Organizational Leadership
Posted by: SpartacusPM - 04-24-2025, 08:24 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (7)

Like most of us on this forum I had an "unconventional" journey to getting a bachelor's degree! I went to community college 20+ years ago and racked up a few credits, but never graduated even with an Associates Degree. Higher Education, while not frowned upon was never really supported by my family. I never thought I would get a college degree.

Then early 2024 I stumbled upon a youtube channel discussing hacking college and then that started my search done the rabbit hole. I looked at WGU, UMPI, TESU, PUG, etc. I originally settled on WGU, then quickly transitioned to UMPI. I really wanted the BABA in PM/IS.  Once I knew where I wanted to go I began knocking out Sophia credits and Study credits. Then I applied for UMPI and started to get all my transcripts transferred. Only to learn they wanted a transcript from an old technical college from 12+ years ago and of course this school doesn't do anything electronically, so I had to request a paper copy and it took nearly two months, which delayed an already slow process with UMPI. It delayed me starting in the fall of 2024 and also the Spring 1 of 2025.

At this point I was ready to just have my degree already. I had remembered stumbling across a post on here about TAMUC at the time, now ETAMU and I had mentioned it to my wife as she was considering a degree in Healthcare. So I decided to take a look at it myself and the only degree that appealed to me was the Organizational Leadership. So I decided to apply since the Spring 1 term was approaching fast and I wanted to have a back up plan. Well my backup plan become option #1 and since I live in Texas it actually works out great. Makes it easier to get to graduation. 

The program and the professors were amazing and provided great feedback. The application process while a bit slow is not as slow as UMPI and the staff is great, at least for the Organizational Leadership program. The advisor's provide a quick response. While you can't have as many classes open at a time as UMPI and the terms are only for 7 weeks. At $1000 per term for Texas residents it is a great deal. 

I was able to transfer almost the max of credits in. I transferred in 87 credits towards the degree. Could have been 90, but I decided to go ahead and take Texas Government at ETAMU. While the class was a lot of work, it wasn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. 

I took a total of 11 classes, 33 credits. All with A's, So not only did I go back to school, but I will be walking in a couple of weeks and graduation with distinction. 

Anyone still on the fence about hacking college. GO FOR IT!
