Hello all, my wife is looking to obtain a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration at UMPI.  She currently has an associate of applied science so I know she will have some transfer credit but has anyone already put together a suitable degree plan for the Healthcare Administration degree?

I previously graduated from UMPI with a BABA in Supply Chain by utilizing this forum's help so I'm hoping to find a good path to lead her down.  Thanks in advance!

Hi!
The last time I transferred any courses from straighter line, I believe they had to go through ACE and then to TESU. Is that still the process? Thanks in advance!

Hello Lovely people! 
I am finishing up my BSIT from PUG and looking ahead to my Masters. Unfortunately, I did not do the Pathway program that allows you to take 2 Graduate Level courses during your Bachelors because I was scared I wouldnt be able to reach my goal of graduating in 2 terms. I now regret it because I was more then able to! I transferred in 111 credits from Sophia and Coursera and then knocked out 60 credits this first Semester already. I just have 1 course left and then my Capstone alone in Jan (2nd Semester). 4.0 GPA so far 
I am considering MsB UMPI & MBA Purdue Global. Leabing towards PUG because I already know what to expect. My question is, how can I use my final Semester (Jan - March) to complete some Graduate level credits along side my Capstone to start my Masters off right? Is there ANY Certs or courses I can take that will be Accepted by Purdue or UMPI for their Masters? 
(Sorry for the weird formatting! This is my first post and its from my phone)

I added this to the degreeforum wiki but thought I'd give a heads up here. For anyone that's in Washington state, the Washington State Library has a free technical certificate program in which you can take plenty of exams free of charge. ACE recommends credit for most of the exams that the library pays for. Feel free to add any course equivalencies to the table.

Kean University and NJCU Sign Definitive Merger Agreement to Launch Kean Jersey City, this is from last month...

So, Kean University and NJCU are merging plus launching with a new name... Kean Jersey City, that's the name of the new university, seems like a bold move to merge, but I guess it was needed to bolster enrollment for both institutions and have their programs aligned properly.

So I have received credit for all courses except for the Capstone and Information Literacy course. This is for a CS degree.

I do not want to pay the residency requirement waiver fee and will be taking 5 courses at TESU.

I'm wondering how I'm required to go about this.

Since I only have 2 specific courses remaining, but need 5 total to fulfill the residency requirement, can the 3 courses I take be any courses? Even ones I've already received transfer credit for but did not take at TESU?

Do I need to enrol in some sort of other diploma or program at TESU to be able to enroll in 5 courses given that my My Progress page says I only need 2 courses? I thought I read something about having to do this.

And regarding mid term examinations, can I get a score under 50% on a midterm examination and still pass the course as long as the rest of my grades for that course are high enough?

Thanks!!!!

A lot of folks here already use Study.com for ACE-approved credits, but with the recent updates — new pricing, faster grading, and the mobile app — it’s now easier to plan and complete courses efficiently. Here are a few tips for getting the most out of the platform:
 
Use the $95/month plan strategically. You’re allowed to enroll in two courses at a time, but once you finish one, you can start another — meaning there’s no real cap on how many you can complete each month.
 
Keep momentum by overlapping courses. Since you can begin new classes while previous assignments are still being graded, there’s no need to slow down. This approach works especially well if you’re trying to wrap up several courses before a new term at WGU, TESU, or UMPI.
 
Use the new mobile app for micro study sessions. You can complete lessons, quizzes, and track progress directly from your phone — convenient for fitting in quick study blocks during breaks or commutes.
 
Take advantage of open-book finals. Without proctoring, finals are easier to schedule and manage. Keeping organized notes as you go makes these exams faster and less stressful.
 
Track progress through ACE early. As you near completion, confirm that your courses appear correctly in your ACE dashboard so transcript requests go smoothly when it’s time to transfer.
 
The recent platform updates make it easier to maintain steady progress and build efficient study habits — especially if you’re balancing school with work or family.

Any update on this program? I am hoping to develop my meme skills for employment.

Hello all, I’m having a bit of a weird experience with Coursera/Credly regarding the Google IT Support Professional certification. I had initially completed the course in late 2021 and got the badge on Credly. When generating the Credly transcript it was showing the ACE endorsement for the Google IT support professional badge. I noticed there was a new version on Coursera now so I went and re-did it. However it didn’t update my badge at Credly. I sent Coursera an email and they “manually updated my badge”, it now shows the new complete date of last week, but when I generate a transcript from Credly it no longer shows the ACE endorsement/recommendation. I emailed Coursera support again and they said this is a known issue with the current version of the badge and they hope it gets fixed soon. Is anyone else having a similar issue?  I’m only annoyed because I’m prepping to transfer credits to TESU and I’m worried if it doesn’t show the ACE endorsement on the credly transcript they won’t accept it for anything. Any ideas? Alternatively, when transferring credits from Coursera to TESU, does it need to go through credly or can I just share my cert link from Coursera? Thanks!

Is anyone aware of a state or brick and mortar graduate school which caps semester tuition and also allows an unlimited overload of credits per semester?

I am wrapping up an MS at Troy University, which offers a schoalrship that lowers tuition for $250/credit for military, but it still charges per credit and there is a cap on overloads. Penn State used to allow this with a petition, but now if you go over a certain number of credits they still charge you more.

Specifically looking at schools with good name recognition. UT Austin has some great programs that come out to just $10k total but only in AI, CS, or Data Science. Arkansas State is pretty cheap too but still charges per credit and has somewhat limited options. Hoping to do Finance or perhaps a hard science of some kind and diversify. 

Looking forward to the discussion!
