Looking for a cheap online software engineering masters. I dont want to do a Computer Science program as the degree needs to state "Engineer" for visa purposes, so please dont mention Georgia Tech lol. 

Everything i find looks to be pretty expensive, so im wondering of there are some affordable options out there.

Appreciate any help!

That's what my evaluation shows (FIN-2000 at TESU). I was counting on this for the Finance AOS in the BSBA. Doesn't seem accurate. What do you think? Or am I missing something?

Hello everyone, I am quite new to this community, only finding about it earlier today. I also never knew about communities such as this one where people look to maximize their education in this way be it with graduation speed (speed running bachelors?) and / or minimize spent money. I never thought that something like this could be done and I am really interested, not to mention this gives me a bit of hope.

I am slowly going through the beginner guides (https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...dit--24842) but I also have some questions that I was hoping someone could help with.

Some background on me:

I am Canadian and have a college 2yr program diploma in Computer Engineering technology from Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. I graduated in 2013. I do not remember my college grades (to be honest, they were not that great, maybe about 2.7 out of 4 gpa). I do not remember my high school grades either, but again, they were not the best (I believe around 60's% - 70's%).

My goal:

I need to get a bachelor of computer science or computer engineering (although I am heavily on the computer science) to advance my web dev / soft engineering career (I have been a professional in this field for around 6 - 6.5yr now). I don't think the university matters as long as it's accredited. I am mostly interested in getting the paper as soon as I can.

Initially, I thought I was a bit screwed due to my high school / college grades but I found out that some universities have mature student or continued education admissions which seem to be easier / a bit easier to get through but still not sure if I can actually get in. I also found a couple Canadian universities that seem to offer online programs (university of Athabasca, Thompson rivers university) which gives me some hope.

My questions:

- Anyone here have any experiences with Canadian schools? I would also be ok with attending an international university (I noticed many USA uni's are talked about in this community) as long as I could get it for a reasonable price (I also noticed some threads talking about quite cheap and / or free courses for credits)

-Most important question: Am I actually screwed due to my lackluster grades in high school and college or can I somehow get into a bachelor of computer science program somewhere?


Side note:

Apologies if portions of my text were talked about elsewhere. I am still looking through everything, it's just that I am feeling pretty overwhelmed and stressed out about the whole situation.

I need upper level credits in the Fine Arts (think Art History/Visual Arts/Design), and I am looking for suggestions.  Editing to add that I am fine will as many Art History classes as can suggested. I know most online art courses will be Art History and theory.


 I am fine with any source: exams for credit, regular college course (online), self-paced, ect.  I would just like the cost to be as resonable as possible, and for any colleges to have easy registration (open registration/non-degree seeking registration). 

These are for transfer to Excelsior's Bachelor's of  Science in Liberal Arts, but feel free to make any suggestions.  I can work out with my advisor what will or won't transfer. (I know that Excelsior does not require fine arts specifically. This is to meet requirements for the graduate program I will be applying to. )


If it helps here are the Fine Arts Classes I have already taken.
Contemporary Arts
Art History 1
Art History 2
2D Design
Drawing 1
Hispanic Arts of the American Southwest
Handbuilt Clay
Photography 1
Graphic Design 1
Visual Communications

How does Villanova, SLU, Xavier (Cincy) compare against Georgetown in the communications and writing department? I’m looking at pursuing a career in communications/ Technical writing. I was admitted to all 4 of these schools for an online bachelors in General Studies but with a concentration in communications and writing. I’m online on the west coast so campus and location aren’t factors for me. Out of all these schools Georgetown has been the toughest with answering my questions. It’s also important that my program has some faith based theology in the curriculum from a Catholic/ Christian perspective. Georgetown’s program is the only one that doesn’t have a religion requirement and also seems to be a little too progressive for my taste. If anyone is familiar with the communications and writing at these schools please chime in. Thanks!

Is it possible to transfer courses and see how many are accepted for the MAOL program, BEFORE you enroll and start your term or even pay the term fees?

I wouldn't want to find out later that I could not get all 90 credits transferred and I have to take more of the classes at UMPI. As I have heard, you can not really transfer more classes in at a later point during the started term.

Has anyone researched on this? 

it's called EIU Paris, they offer DBA by thesis for 2 yrs, total cost €5000, and posted a sample of recognised Canadian WES evaluation for DBA.

Just did a quick search, as I understand that this institute is recognised as educational institute but not degree granting. No idea if this WES evaluation is legit.

Here's an article where this individual compares UK vs US education in their perspective... With higher education, it may be different as there are so many more higher ranked US institutions as there are UK ones, but we're basically talking about Valedictorian vs Salutatorian... Their ranking is different than mine, I believe US is first and UK is second, they think otherwise...

US colleges bring back standardized testing after finding test-optional policies hurt minority students

https://www.foxnews.com/media/us-college...y-students

Quote from the article saying it's racist to say blacks can't do well on ACT/SAT:

He also blamed the elimination of standardized testing on a narrative circulating in academia that some minority students do not do as well as White and Asian students because of poor schooling or cultural bias in the test.

"Frankly, I found this narrative racist and offensive on its face," Schein said. "That is because it could be interpreted as ‘certain minorities were too stupid to do well on these demanding standardized tests.’ I have always rejected this narrative. Further, schools should still have the data but can make decisions based on the many factors considered in admissions, not just the SAT."
