  So, which would you choose, spring break or winter break for travel?
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 10-27-2025, 01:58 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (9)

Yes, the travel bug has hit me again (as always)... I was off for a month from Sept 24 to Oct 24 and just got back to the forums!  Looking forward to another vacation later in the year for Winter Break or next year for Spring Break (2 weeks only this time instead of a month).

  WGU - Business Management, Bachelor's Course List
Posted by: bushysmalls - 10-27-2025, 08:22 AM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (2)

Morning All - first post, looking for some clarity.

Been debating between WGU and UMPI. I have most of a UMPI degree plan hacked out with Study/Sophia/SL/CLEP, but hoping for the base of WGU here.

I'm looking at a Business Management or Marketing degree, and just need to know what the full course list would look like (Gen Eds, Minors, Major, etc). I checked out the WGU Degree Planner, but it seems to be missing a few of the things I might need.

Once I know the course list, I can go through and link against Sophia/Study, and then hopefully CLEPs too (I already have Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Marketing, US History 1, Introductory Sociology, and about to test for College Composition, so if you know if any of those transfer in against certain classes..)

  American Government CLEP
Posted by: AlanG117 - 10-27-2025, 07:56 AM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (2)

Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to this IC and its forum. I wanted to ask different opinions on study material I am using. I first started off purchasing the REA book and study guide in hopes I can understand AG. Unfortunately it isn't helping. I went ahead and bought IC for it's flash cards and mock up tests and so far I am doing good on flash card mastery. I have mastered two sets out of the 5( I forget how many there is) in the course of 2 ish days. I find it easier because I remember by repetition rather... instead just knowing how questions and answers look like. I am supplementing also the REA tests, the diagnostics and two exams it comes with. First attempt on diagnostic was a 14%. After doing some of the flash cards and some educational guesses, I took it a second time and scored a 40%. So I guess I must be doing something right.

I want to know opinions of those that have taken it if there ARE things I should absolutely remember instead of just remembering how it looks on the flashcard if that makes sense. I apologize if this post seems like it's everywhere. I am scrambling to take the CLEP after neglecting taking national government since I started college last year, so here I am.

Thank you !

  Brown’s online master’s footing bill at expense of reputation
Posted by: smartdegree - 10-26-2025, 08:42 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

Nice article written by a Brown student.  

I think it is fair to say that most elite universities treat their online masters as "cash cows".

What’s the best way for him to start? How many credits he need from UMPI ? Can he start at Sophia and then transfer his credits? Pls need advice. 
Thanks again for always being helpful.

  Qualifi Level 7 Cyber — Grad Credit or Master’s
Posted by: msmjj01 - 10-25-2025, 02:48 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

I’m looking at the Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Cyber Security because it’s way cheaper than doing full grad courses in the US.

Does anyone know if a NACES evaluation can turn that Level 7 diploma into graduate-level credits that I could transfer to a US university?

Thanks for any info or real experiences.

Question Fastest Plan for any Bachelor's at Any School
Posted by: Chasingthedream - 10-25-2025, 12:20 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (12)

Your Location

  • US (Los Angeles)
Your Age
  • 35
What kind of degree do you want?
  • Any bachelor's degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
  • Credits from 2 CCs (SACSCOC & WASC accredited) and 1 University (Higher Learning Commission)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits
  • No
Any certifications or military experience?
  • No
Budget
  • $2000
Commitments:
  • Work
Dedicated time to study
  • 40+ (I'm locked in!)
Timeline
  • I'd like to finish in 3-4months
Tuition assistance/reimbursement
  • No

What I have:  My criteria for the university would be:
  • accept credits as much as it possible
  • self-paced, instead of traditional deadlines;
  • competency-based if possible (NAU's PL program were mostly essay format)
  • SPEED
  • I'm open to any university that is regionally accredited.
  • The cheaper the plan the better, but not for sake of speed. Speed is highest priority.
More context:
  • I'm looking to finish my bachelor's in ANY subject/major, as my goal is to apply to a graduate level program next year and their only prerequisite is an undergraduate degree in ANY subject/major. 
  • My actual work experience for the past 10 years has been in HR and most recently as Chief People Officer if that helps in any way for those competency-based plans. 
  • Would appreciate any help in helping me narrow down my options and give me a quick path to complete a bachelor's as quickly as possible.
TIA!

  WGU - The Best Option for B.S. Cybersecurity - BSCSIA?
Posted by: reliant-robin - 10-24-2025, 02:51 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello,

Between industry certifications and ACE credits, I will have 89 credits that are transferrable toward the WGU BSCSIA by early next year.

While I am nearly certain that I will enroll in WGU's BSCSIA program next year, I wanted to check to see if there are other, similar options that this forum recommends. 

Transferability of certifications is what initially interested me in WGU, so I am curious if other programs accept certs for credit.

  ESPN Article on Virginia University of Lynchburg Dragons Coach
Posted by: Dr_Chirp - 10-24-2025, 01:00 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

I like the DHA program from VUL, but the administration's professionalism is sorely lacking. Unaswered e-mails, phone messages, open complaints from other grads, etc and now we're seeing an inside view how they work. The football team doesn't have a stadium and coach Doe Edwards has posted for years on his X account the Dragon's mismangement and poor treatment of the players. Ashame their degree program is tarnished by their footballl program.
