Hi,
Has anyone found an ACE or NCCRS option for the Non-Western History requirement for the BA in History AOS at TESU? My son has had no luck so far and would love to find an option. The options from Study dot com don't work for this requirement.

Hello DegreeForum members.

I noticed the Wiki needs donations but has not posted anything about it - that I'm aware of.  

I've used that Wiki many times over the years but never noticed they need donations - maybe the banner is only seasonal.  If you feel so inclined, I'm sure your contributions would be greatly appreciated.  Btw, I'm not an at all affiliated.

I want to take the BIO101 Proctored Exam on Saylor. I chose to use Saylor because it's WAYY more affordable than the others. It would be really helpful if I could get some notes to study from since the material on Saylor has too much fluff. I'd be willing to pay for some good notes too. I'd also like to ask for some advice on the proctored exam.

I know this is a primarily american focused site, but i know a german fully online university that is really cheap and fully accredited in germany and US and Canada. its called international university of applied sciences, im still on the fence about going to it, so im just asking if you guys know about it and if its worth it for someone on a really tight budget.

Hi all,

I searched the forum and Purdue University Global discussions on experience seem to be years ago, just after being Kaplan. Has anyone taken the ExcelTrack MBA recently, within the last year? Would love to hear some more recent feedback on experience of the platform and courses, etc. I am considering going that route after I obtain my bachelor's from ETAMU.

If I overlooked any recent forums discussing the PUG MBA Exceltrack please feel free to link them as a comment. 

Thank You

I am looking through my email and opened the email from my final submission and just realized I submitted the wrong final assignment (version). I'm drafting an email to professor, doubt it will make any difference.    Total oversight can possibly cost me to fail the class. I've done great with all milestones with amazing feedback and 4/4. Now I'm here feeling depressed and anxious about this. It's like why... why.. why.. couldn't I catch this before submitting it. To think naming the assignment with a format similar to this lastname_244 System    and lastname_244System I would've selected the correct one... Only reason for multiple version was I was having issues with PP I would add my references and no matter how much I typed the box wouldn't get bigger only wider and I wasn't able to manually change the size of the box.
I guess I'm venting a little and all over the place beating myself up for such silly mistake. This is the second time, it happened with my first milestone. 

Do you guys think it will be somewhat okay? Any suggestions?

Has anyone evaluated the colleges and universities listed on Sophia's Partner web page to see how many credits from Sophia each school would accept?  Of course, I'm not including ones we usually discuss on this forum: the Big 3, UMPI and WGU, etc., as we already have that information.   https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ch...University

I'm wondering if there are any, other than ones listed above, that accept close to 75%, or more, of the degree from Sophia AND are self-paced AND competency-based?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I currently hold 300 ECTS credits from a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree earned at European universities in fields related to engineering and art. Additionally, I’ve completed some título propio credits in areas connected to psychology, such as counseling.

I’m planning to apply to UMPI soon for the BA in Psychology and am in the process of designing a personalized study plan using Sophia and Study.com. However, I’m wondering if any of my existing ECTS credits could potentially transfer over as General Electives for the BA program, of course, after the NACES process.

Has anyone had experience with credit transfers in a similar situation? While I don’t mind completing 35 courses through Sophia, it would be great to have some of my previous credits recognized.

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
Thanks in advance,

I need to review the individual credit hours, as some are quarter system and a few semester, so I haven't listed them, but in all, I have 117 credits that were accepted or completed at Excelsior by 2010.  I was active in this forum and working on College Algebra in anticipation of attaining a BS in Business, MIS Concentration, when my bandwidth for studies dried up due to work commitments.
 
Budget: I want to minimize the new work I have to do, and especially speedrun anything where I have to take a conventional distance class for tuition reimbursement.  I am in the Evaluation process at EU and looking at the current catalog, I expect that at a minimum I need to do 18 credits/7 with them, (Cornerstone, Crapstone, Bus Writing, Leadership, HR Mgt, Intl Biz) depending on the eval.  I can readily afford items like subscriptions, testing fees, etc.  If it's more than 18 or EU pushes for more than 7 credits in their world, I will start looking harder at options.
 
I'm pretty sure they are going to offer me BPS instead of BS, due to the age of my credits plus no longer offering a MIS concentration.  I have an emotional reaction to this, but I suspect the utility of the degree is sufficient for my purposes, which are checking the box so that I don't have to answer questions about it from recruiters, satisfying myself, and taking some grad courses.  I welcome insight on utility of the BPS from anyone with experience with it.  I may do a masters, will almost certainly do a grad certificate of one sort or another.
Commitments: work, spouse with a disability.
 
Dedicated time to study: 2-3 hours daily; I can sprint more if needed.
Timeline: asap (I expect to be "in the job market" within 12 months), so prefer to be done with courses that I need to reimburse before the year is half over.  Already into SDC (nearly done with Globalization & Intl Biz); I wish all the resources we have now had been there in 2010, I wouldn't be in this mess if there had been SDC, Sophia, etc.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: $5K/ year, as long as I'm employed. I pay upfront.


Thanks for looking
