Hello. I studied Computer Science at UoPeople and completed around 4 computer science courses there. Now I want to enroll in an Associate in Mathematics at Tesu and transfer those UoPeople courses, as well as complete others that could be transferred to Tesu.
Does anyone have a route on how to do that and which courses would be recognized? Can these computer science course go under Electives and Computer science electives ( 3 + 9 credits)? But what about other 6 math courses? Do they accept these sophia.org courses?
What courses on Sophia.org are recognized for that major and what to complete?
Which general education courses are the easiest and can I complete the fastest, because these math courses are probably very difficult.
I would like to note that I would start with an Associate in Mathematics first, so are those 6 math courses at Sophia.org enough for that degree or do I have to finish somewhere else? And if I finish all that quickly, I still have time for a Bachelor's.
Is it very difficult to study math that way or is it possible?
Thank you.
EDIT: I have one more question. Is it possible to enroll TESU Mathematics but not to pay anything for a while?

Hi everyone! I'm asking for some guidance on planning my degree before I register for classes. I have 61 credits from Community College.
I know that TESU allows 90 college hours/credits from Colleges and 90 from ACE/NCCRS sources (TESU Credit Info).
Does this mean I can take my 61 credits from community college + earn 60 from ACE/NCCRS to make the 120 for a Bachelors degree? Along with the 2 required classes TESU makes you take.
Thank you! I emailed an academic advisor already but they've taken forever to get back to me so I wanted to ask as I've been anxiously trying to figure this out.
Self info:
Your Location: Florida
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Ba in Psych or Sociology or Anthropology (These 3 fit the req. I need for my career path)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 61 credits from Community College
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Any certifications or military experience?: KP Python Code Specialist
Budget: preferably $5k range
Commitments: Currently a full time student
Dedicated time to study: All, I am full steam ahead with getting my BA
Timeline: I hope to get my BA this year so I can apply by January of next to a graduate program
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Pell grant

Thank you all here at degreeforum, I lurked the forums for well over 10 years and I finally decided to jump into a degree with both feet after watching so many of you navigating the complexities of being your own advisors and sourcing transfer credits from the most obscure places. I really can't express my gratitude enough to bjcheung77, dfrecore, and rachel83az, you all contributed heavily in helping me understand the process well enough to take the initial step in persuing my degree plan. I initially did a ton of Sophia and Coursera courses, then I got my Pierpont BOG AAS with a focus on Information Systems, laddered up to the UMPI AALS, then BAS in Management, Project Management, and Management of Information Systems, and finally I completed my MAOL! If you are reading this and have been overthinking it, you may need to trust the forums and dive in head first. I completed the Associates through Masters in roughly 1.5 years.

Is anyone else disappointed by how lazy some of these YourPace courses are? |

I just need to vent a bit. And I also know why I am here.
I know none of us are here to expect Harvard, and most of us knew what we wanted and just want to get it over with and move on with ourlives. We all wanted accredited school, low cost, time-flexible, and man isn't UMPI yourpace sweet in that.
But man some of the courses I've finished felt like it was put together in one semi-drunk afternoon. The content was either a series of youtube link that was 7 years old, a link to a blog on either investopedia/betterup/atalassian. Like, thanks for choosing and vetting(which I admit has some real value) my youtube feed for me?
And also there is just broken content: In one of my liberal arts classes which I guess most people tranferred from Sophia,
we were supposed to analyze U.S. murder trends. There’s literally a slide that says "Chart" with a broken symbol of image where the graph is supposed to be. That’s it. No graph. Just “Chart.” It's one than one classes, and I stopped sending email to those instructors after the second one.
Okay now I feel better, and to be fair, not all classess are like this I’ve had a few gems, like one of my accounting classes where the instructor actually gave incredibly thoughtful and detailed feedback. You could tell they cared and wanted us to learn something beyond just checking boxes. So it’s not hopeless—it’s just wildly inconsistent and lack a universal quality control.
Sorry for anyone who read this and I might wasted 45 seconds of your precious life. I just needed to vent and now I am already feeling better.

Location: Minnesota, USA
Age: 39
Degree Goals:
- BA in Computer Science and Homeland Security, or
- BA in Computer Science and Associate Degree in Aviation Maintenance
Current Regionally Accredited Credits:
- Bachelor's degree in Social Work from a foreign country (not yet evaluated course-by-course)
- Master’s degree in Social Work from a U.S. regionally accredited institution
ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None at this time
Certifications / Military Experience: None
Budget: $5,000 or less
Time Commitment: 6 to 9 months
Study Availability: Very flexible job — can dedicate up to 8 hours per day to study
Funding Options: Self-funded (savings); employer offers tuition reimbursement but only for programs aligned with current major
Goals and Background
I am interested in pursuing a Bachelor’s in Computer Science through Thomas Edison State University (TESU). I would also like to either:
- Complete a Bachelor’s in Homeland Security, or
- Earn an Associate Degree in Aviation Maintenance alongside the CS degree.
While my Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW) from abroad is accredited, I have not yet completed a course-by-course evaluation. I plan to do that soon.
I understand that I’ll need to complete general education (Gen Ed) courses, and I’ve read that it’s possible to take the TESU capstone elsewhere. I would be interested in that option to save time and cost.
I’m currently applying for jobs with the Department of Defense (DoD) and do not want to use my social work background for these roles. These jobs require a relevant degree within one year, ideally sooner.
My Question:
What is the fastest, most affordable path I can take to earn a Computer Science degree (and possibly Homeland Security or Aviation Maintenance) within 6–9 months, with a budget under $5,000?
I’m open to using alternative credit options (like Sophia, Study.com, CLEP, Saylor, etc.), and I’m willing to study full-time (up to 8 hours daily).

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone had a similar path or advice. I don't have a degree so I am working through courses on Sophia to get as much credit as possible to transfer into the BA Accounting at UMPI. Upon successful completion then do the Masters of Accounting at WGU, then get the CPA, I am in TX and have read mixed reports about them accepting sophia courses, though it appears I can do the CPA exam in a more friendly state and transfer in to Texas. How does this plan sound, anyone done it before? Any advice? Thanks!

| Next Steps After UMPI: Considering Law School vs. MBA Programs |

Hello there,
I hope you’re doing well! I’m currently exploring my options for graduate school after finishing at UMPI (BABA Management and Leadership), and I’m trying to decide between pursuing law school or an MBA program. I would really appreciate any insights or advice you might have.
How feasible is it to get into graduate schools? How much does having 90 Sophia credits change everything? I believe I'm a good test taker and am confident I would be able to get high GMAT/GRE/LSAT scores.
