  Not great, experience with WGU
Posted by: nitebiker33 - 07-06-2025, 09:59 AM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (5)

I didn't have the best experience with WGU, personally. I didn't like it all that much.
However, I can say that I tried at least. 
I just don't believe that the competency based model is really all that it's meant out to be, personally. 
It's kind of wacky and feels weird when I first tired.

_______________________


Hi everyone,

I’m currently planning to pursue the BLS degree with an Accounting minor through UMPI’s YourPace program. I want to transfer in my Board of Governors AAS degree from Pierpont, some courses from Hawaii Community College, and a lot of Sophia courses, including Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Business Law, Principles of Finance, Project Management, Marketing, Macroeconomics, and more.

I’m wondering:

  • Which additional minors can I realistically add to my BLS degree without taking too many more classes?
  • Based on UMPI’s rule that each minor needs at least 9 unique credits (3 courses not shared with another minor), which minors have the least overlap with Accounting?
  • Has anyone successfully added a second or third minor and how did you structure it?

I’m trying to avoid extra coursework unless it’s strategic, and I’d love to hear from others who’ve mapped this out or have gone through a similar path.

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences!

  Bachelor's in Computer Science online (credit transfer from Asia and EU)
Posted by: cheeseberserk - 07-05-2025, 09:17 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

Dear Forum Members,

I'm in 30s and I'm looking for some advice regarding online Comptuer Science or Computer engineering (I assume this probably does not exist online) degree options as a non US citizen.

Edit:

Your Location: EU
Your Age: 30-35
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor's in CS or Computer engineering
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Credits from a university in Asia and a few from EU-based university
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: 10-15k USD
Commitments: Nothing
Dedicated time to study: 20 hours/week
Timeline: I'd like to finish in 1-3 years
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No

What I have:
1. B.A. degree in Applied English (from a university in Asia)
2. A few credits from a Comp Sci Bachelor's course that I couldn't finish from EU (it was not fully online, I had no time back then). 
(I finished Discrete math here, so that can be useful.)

My criteria for the university would be:

- accept credits as much as it possible to make outside for low price (like on sophia) or accept it from the above mentioned places;
- be somewhat prestigious;
- it would be nice if it was self-paced, instead of traditional deadlines;
- it should be good for a potential master degree later;
- budget: $10k or if it really worth it, then $15k for the whole thing;
- I can study at least 20 hours/week;
- the goal is to get a degree that could land me a job, so a place with internship options (if it exists) could be also benefitial.

So far I was eyeing University of People for it's versatility and low price, but the reviews are a mixed bag and it's not too "prestigious".
Then I found Purdue Global, but not sure if that could fit in my budget or it worth the extra price.



Thanks for the help in advance!

  VUL or OakState for ENEB Master’s Credit Transfer?
Posted by: Lyd - 07-05-2025, 05:08 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (13)

Hey everyone,

I’m currently deciding between Virginia University of Lynchburg (VUL) and OakState.edu after completing the Global Master’s from ENEB. I’m mainly trying to figure out which school will give me the most value based on transfer credit potential and how they evaluate foreign credentials.

Here’s what I’m considering:
1. Credit Transfer Potential: I’ve heard OakState might allow 18–30 transfer credits toward their Doctorate in Healthcare Administration (DHCA) program — which could make it significantly cheaper than VUL.
2. Accreditation & Evaluation: ENEB isn’t regionally accredited, but evaluators like Validential can convert it to the U.S. equivalent of a master’s degree. The tricky part is whether OakState accepts Validential, or only evaluators approved by AACOMAS.

My questions:
• Does anyone know if VUL or OakState is more likely to accept an ENEB Global Master’s evaluated by Validential?
• Has anyone actually transferred up to 30 credits from ENEB (or a similar program) into OakState’s DHCA program?
• If Validential isn’t accepted by OakState, does anyone know of a foreign evaluator that is AACOMAS-approved and has worked in similar cases?

Any insight would really help — I just want to make the smartest decision moving forward.

Thanks in advance!

  Ed.D in Leadership: Online, Flexible, Affordable — What Am I Missing?
Posted by: RecessToResearchQueen - 07-05-2025, 09:05 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (6)

I've been researching Ed.D programs.  At this point, I am seeking validation and reassurance that I am not missing a program I should have found.

Goal: Ed.D in Leadership

Current degrees: MS in Education, BS in Family Studies
Additional training: English as a Second Language
Certifications: Educator- PK-12, TESOL; PK-6 Elementary

And then I had a career change to HR....

Certification: HRCI Professional in Human Resources, DISC Certified Behavior Consultant

Experience:  ~15 years in education, ~5 years in federal HR

Needs: Online program a must, asynchronous for max flexibility (I have young kids and work full-time), affordability, expecting around 3-4 years to finish
Additional info: Military spouse, but do not qualify for benefits through MYCAA so has to be a discount/ scholarship/ grant offered through the school itself

Career goal: To maximize my experience in education and HR, particularly in workforce training for leaders.  Ideal would be to support school districts in integrating support for military children.


Where I've researched:

1. American College of Education- like that it's asynch, regionally accredited, and affordable.  Concerned about 'reputation' per say.  Communication has been excellent.
2. Purdue Global- Pretty much the same 'likes' with my concerns being the 'newness' of the program and it seems to have less 'focus' areas which may limit some knowledge acquisition.  Communication with them has been lacking, have been waiting 2 weeks for my 'transcript review', and never heard back from my follow up email asking for an update.
3. Liberty/ National/ Regent- Didn't get the warm fuzzy from any of them
4. I've looked up state schools where we have lived (military moves), have not come up with other solid leads yet

What am I missing?  Should I be looking anywhere else?

Feedback on ACE vs Purdue Global??
