Hello all! Firstly, I want to thank everyone who posts on this forum because it is the reason I have been able to complete my bachelor's degree in 4 months! The semester is ongoing, but I've managed to finish ahead of the May 3rd closing date. This is my first post here, so I am living proof that just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, meaning: I have been referencing this site for well over a year as my #1 guide for fast-tracking my bachelor's yet remained anonymous the whole way through. MANY people (including those I've referred to here) are using this forum to change their lives without posting, so please keep it going! My contribution will be a comprehensive reference guide for completing your BLS with a Management Minor in the YourPace program at UMPI. Let's get started!

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone point me to a link that explains what the Math GE courses are that I need as part of the GEC requirements at UMPI? I’m working exclusively with Sophia.org to transfer n credits to UMPI. I want to make sure I’m taking only the necessary minimum amount of courses related to math. As you can probably tell, I am not a fan of math! Thx!

University of South Florida just launched a free (for now) 10-hour, online certificate in Fintech:

Hi there,

My brother is looking to pursue a degree in arts or design, potentially at SNHU. However, his first step is obtaining his Pierpont BOG Associates with an area of emphasis in Graphics Technology. Would Xamk's Introduction to Video Games Creation course help fulfill the 15 credits required for the area of emphasis? Also, we're curious about other courses that could fulfill these requirements. 

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Anyone ever transfer Linked in learning to UMPI for anything. Just curious. My job just signed us all up for accounts starting May 10th to use as we wish for free. Figured why not see if it's an option lol.

I know we have some Project Managers here so I am hoping someone can tell me this.  

Would a project Manager be able to facilitate scheduling 10,000 students at 65 sites on various days/times over the course of 3 weeks across an entire state?
I am thinking this person would have to know how to figure out schedules, locations, distance, and also have knowledge of how to set up some sort of spreadsheet or database to deploy that information to each site’s staff to have names, dates, accommodations etc.

Does that encompass the types of things a Project manager might learn?

Hey everyone! 
 
I'm new here and looking for some advice on choosing a university and program for an international student like me. Here's a bit about me and what I'm looking for:
 
Background
·       Earned an English literature degree from an overseas university 10 years ago (3-year program from an accredited university)

Goals
·       Need to receive a digital degree certificate and official transcript as quickly as possible. By mid-January 2025 to be exact (for job transfer purpose)
·       Subject focus: Marketing or Business. Open to bachelor or master but please consider the ease of completion as I haven't done any academic work for over a decade and I'm not too confident if the coursework is way more challenging for a Master's degree.
·       Total tuition budget under $10-12K (lower is better of course)

Additional Note
·       My job is quite flexible, so I don't mind getting as many credits as possible through platforms like Study.com or Sophia and etc. to accelerate my degree
 
 
And, here are my questions:
 
1. Which universities would you recommend that fit my needs and preferences?
2. Are there any specific programs you think I should look into?
3. Any tips or advice on how to navigate this process smoothly?
 
 
Ease of completion and getting the credential quickly are my top priorities. 

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, folks.

I have a friend who holds an LVN (California) and wants to get his RN degree. My first thought was TESU, but they do not seem to have much in the way of online options for this route.

However, a quick search turned up this program at Indiana State U that appears to be exactly the sort of thing he would need. However, it seems spendy, and their page that lists state eligibility is down, so I can't even tell if CA residents are eligible. Well phooey, actually, that program isn't available in CA, so it's out.
 
The catch is, he did his LVN at a vocational education program that is not institutionally accredited, so it seems highly unlikely any of his credits or classes would transfer to the bachelor's degree. He has no other college credits, other than culinary school (similar trade school with no institutional accreditation.)

Any thoughts on his best route? Would it be effective to get a low-cost general bachelors from UMPI or TESU and then use that to transfer to a BSN? Or are there schools with alt credit programs that offer an LVN-BSN bridge program?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am seeking guidance for my son who is 22 and looking at the Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Project Management and Information Systems in the YourPace program at UMPI. Based on the title of the concentration, it seems as though the concentration is more concentrated on IT. However, his interest is focused on Construction Project Management so I am wondering if the degree could be utilized in that capacity? He has about 28 credit hours from Youngstown State University towards his General Education required courses.

Thanks,

EducationSeeker

Hi there,

Has anyone compared the offerings from Wrexham University (Glyndwr) and Abertay University?
Or had experience with either university?

Similarities:

• Async instruction
  
• FAQ sections almost word for word
  
• Both have similar entry requirements
  
• Similar pricing structures
  
• Not third-party accredited, but legit brick-and-mortar buildings with on-campus offerings, public funded
  
• Canvas LMS
  
• Marketing and funnelling and "ask us for more while we hide the info you want like course outlines"
  
• Website "feelings" when reading through them
  

• Names of universities
  
• Locations: Wrexham in Wales, UK versus Abertay in Scotland, UK
  
• Website are somewhat different, but still have the same feeling somehow
