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

Does UMPI accepts ECTS credits easily? |

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
