I know that multiple people on these forums teach online as adjuncts. How would you characterize the job market for math/physics? I know that most online schools do not focus on math/physics heavy programs.

Hi everyone ,
I'm researching online degree programs that save time and money, and I found DegreeForum to be a very useful place to exchange. I currently have some credits from previous courses (including ACE and Sophia.org) and would like to ask if anyone has successfully transferred credits to a school like TESU, Excelsior or UMPI? Also, I'm confused about whether to choose a BA or BS to suit my career goals in the technology field. I hope everyone can share their experiences and advise me to help me orient myself more clearly. Thank you very much!

I just graduated from WGU with a BS, but I'm considering a return in the next year or so for their MBA in IT management. There are only three courses in that degree that can be satisfied via transfer credit, so I'm wondering...

Does anyone know of any free/cheap graduate-level credit courses that might transfer in for...
- organizational behavior leadership
- business ethics (or ethical leadership)
- project management

I figure the answer is "no" for all of these, but I've been looking and thought I'd ask. (My best hope was ASU Thunderbird's free program, but it doesn't look like any of those will do.)

Would it make a good replacement or alternative since BOG is gone

Anymore information on this ?

I am not really too surprised. Now their MBA/MSIT is $450. Their MEd is $400 and their undergrad is $160.

Hey y'all, was wondering if any of you can help me chart an efficient plan to obtain an computer science bachelors. I was looking at WGU initially but I've been curious about other institutions like TESU and possibly UMPI later this year?

I have been investigating M.Ed. programs. My requirements are (1) RA (2) no required student teaching to graduate; (3) 100% asyncronous. Beyond these requirements I am mainly concerned about cost. If possible, I would prefer a self-paced program. Now that UoPeople is RA, is there any reason to go elsewhere? What do you think?

Hi all!

New to the forum. I've been reading posts - lots of great info and support here! Thank you!!

Backstory: I earned a BA in Communications from TESU in 2008. Took me 18 months using CLEP/DSST/TECEP and TESU courses. Great experience.

Fast forward to 2025. I have a highly motivated 15yo that's interested in the finance world. The kid loves numbers - he sets his alarm for 5am so he can study. We homeschool. He's nearly completed his high school requirements. I'm looking for options to challenge him and give him a head start on college.

Long-term we're looking at TESU's BSBA in Finance degree once he turns 18. Definitely open to other options. 

CLEPS: this is what I know best from personal experience. Also going to look into Sophia courses.

The RA requirement is new since I was a student and is a little confusing to me...how do I know if a course is RA or not?

Does anyone know how Dual Enrollment works as a homeschooler? We live in MI. Are there affordable online options for this?

Any other tips/advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi all, 

Having trouble deciding what degree to pursue next. I enjoy studying how people learn and are motivated in the workplace so want to stick to something that ties into that. Currently working at a brokerage firm and have a MBA and about to finish a BA in I/O Psychology, but am wanting to pursue the degree mostly for personal satisfaction. With that I am thinking business, psychology, or education all could be tied into what I like. 

I can't justify taking a mortgage sized pay cut and my licenses lapsing so I am limited to programs that will let me continue to work full time. DBA programs seem to be the friendliest to outside work, but I do not have a lot of management experience yet so not the most competitive candidate. Is a DBA probably the best option to pursue or would one of the few PhDs that allows me to work make more sense?

- Your Location: Miami, FL
- Your Age: 26
- What kind of degree do you want?: Whatever makes the most sense. I think I want an AAS degree to transfer into the BAS in Business Administration from UMPI. I've also looked into TESU and Liberty.
- Current Regionally Accredited Credits: 60 credits from Miami Dade College (completed general AA degree with some business electives), 3 credits from Florida International University (Intro to Marketing Course), 14 credits from Moody Bible Institute (Philosophy course and the rest is probably elective credit)

- Any certifications or military experience?: Securities Industry Essentials and Series 6 from FINRA
- Budget: Cheaply as possible
- Commitments: Currently half-time (6 credits) finishing remainder of courses, some financial planning on the side, and other side-gig work
- Dedicated time to study: Probably 30 hours a week
- Timeline: ASAP
