Hi everyone! There isn't much information here on education programs, and it's not all in one place, so since I would have found it helpful for myself, I'm compiling a list of the top colleges that are fast, cheap, or accept lots of alt credits, and what programs they have available... at a glance. Hopefully, this will help someone else!


Note: I have not included doctoral level programs in this list.

Location: Illinois, US
Age: 18
Degree Wanted: 4-year Entrepreneurship degree
Current Credits: 0
Certs/Military: None
Budget: Any
Commitments: I can schedule my work around classes/studying
Time To Study: Anytime
Timeline: Open, but prefer within 4 years
Tuition Assistance: 0
Paying cash for all classes.

Many of the Business Adminstration degrees I've looked at have few classes specifically regarding entrepreneurship, and many times offer only three classes out of 120 credits in that specialization. I am also considering enrolling at a B/M school with a robust online program for this degree/specialization. Tuition is $8400 a year, 100% online. I would like to compare a potential degree plan including testing out to the traditional online program at the previously mentioned school. 

Any assistance is very much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone recently been able to successfully transfer in a Sophia course to fulfill this GEC? Critical & Creative Thinking Learning Objective D, or I think it would be called GEC 2D. 

I've heard of some courses working in past years, but apparently it's changed since UMPI Yourpace moved to Brightspace. It would be a course equivalent to Hum 103 Creative decision making, or Eng 211 Creative writing. I'm eyeing Visual communication because it seems like a possibility according to this DegreeForum page: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...ts_Roadmap , but it doesn't seem certain. 

Thanks in advance!

The Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) in 90 credits. My questions are:
1. Does this water down the respectability of a bachelor's degree?
2. Can one apply to a graduate school with a 90 credit bachelors?
3. Will employers take note or just consider it a check the box degree?

Hello, I am currently in the process of setting up some excel sheets with all courses that are eligible for credit transfers as well as all courses from Sophia, etc.

My question is most likely quite obvious, but I want to be 100% sure so I don't potentially waste time and money on the wrong course.

Looking at https://partners.wgu.edu/home, some partners seem to offer multiple courses options for 1 WGU course (example being the first course, the english class)6.

For "composition: successful self-expression", Sophia gives you 3 choices. From what I understand, I can do 1 of those 3 and I can transfer for 3 credits.

The https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/WG...egree_Plan wiki shows English Composition I/II or Workplace Writing II. From what I understand, to get the 3 credits I need to finish Sohpia English Composition 1 and English Composition 2 classes or Workplace Writing 2. In the partner page above, I think ENG1002 is English Composition 2 in the sophia website. Would I have to do composition 1 + 2 because there is a requirement (as in Sophia tells you that you cannot take Eng composition 2 before you finish Eng Composition 1)?

I guess I am mostly looking to understand (before I get the free trials / subscriptions) these 3rd party course sites requirements and if they make it obvious for what classes I need to get (or when I can enroll in them).

Does this make sense, or am I rambling ( a known problem for me )?

Hi Folks, 
I am looking to pursuing Phd in environmental science in online mode.
If anyone know , if any Ivy league university is offering such or similar course please share information.

FAFSA glitches leave students, colleges without crucial financial information | WVXU

I personally chose to do a INDS degree at Liberty University, however - this is creating a mess for everyone in terms of having to fill out paperwork to see what financial aid is even available. 

I've heard that people who filled out the new FAFSA in January still haven't gotten anything back - not boding well for me, who filled it out in March. LOL!

Hi, for my degree I need one more UL Computer Information Systems class through TESU. The three options (I've done all the others) are CMP-3540 Network Technology, CYB-4210 Cybersecurity Risk Anlys/Mngt, and MKT-4410 Marketing Digital and Social Media. Does anyone have any reasons why I would take one over the others? Thanks!
