Hi,


I am looking for advice as to the fastest degree plan at UMPI YourPace with the credits that I posted below. I know finishing in 1 session is a long-shot but I am trying to get into an alternative teacher's certification program that requires a Bachelor’s degree. If there are any holes or recommended credits to attempt in the next few weeks I appreciate the input. I would like to try for the Liberal Studies Educational Minor, but I am open to any degree.

Now that Metropolia is not available to foreigners, what would be a good option to earn cheap ra credit for a TESU Math and Computer Science double degree

Hi to the forum again! I'm a few credits into my BA Psych at TESU now, and I'm currently working (self-paced, which is an euphemism for slowly ) through the CSM Learn course. I'm mildly dyscalculic, but this is specific to numbers and formulae -- from a logical/perceptual reasoning point I'm strong. I'm really enjoying this course, given its focus on the latter, and hope to transfer it in soon.

I noticed SeeMore have two "post-CSM" courses available (since their recent reorganization?), Challenge Problems and Technical Math Essentials. Neither seem to be recommended by ACE(/NCCRS), but both are 'more advanced than' CSM and require it as a prerequisite. I'm interested at trying my hand at Challenge Problems once I finish CSM, given its relevance to my area of interest (social science research). It appears to be free for people who've taken CSM, so there's no loss to trying.

What I'm curious about is: has anyone taken these courses and attempted to transfer them for credit, or done so for a similar "college-level but not organizationally recommended" course? I searched a fair amount and didn't see anything. TESU's transfer policies sound to me like they don't have a hard rule against credit that hasn't been ACE/NCCRS recommended, just that it's unlikely. This particular case -- where the courses that haven't been recommended are advanced versions of one that has been -- is something I can't think of a similar example for, and may be an exception to general rules against non-recommended courses. I think I'd benefit from taking Challenge Problems regardless, but it'd be really great if I could get some credit too.

Hi all, I am asking this for a friend who is looking for an online masters program in biology. The current front runner is the masters of science in biotech from University of Maryland Online for about $20k. THe ideal budget is below $25k.

Let me know if there are any others out there.

For anybody who is interested in 3 credits Upper Level Statistics (i.e. for the BA Mathematics or for the AOS electives in the BACS):

The EDX Microbachelors from LSE "Statistics Fundamentals" might work for that.

Hello, I am taking the liberal arts capstone starting in a few weeks and the syllabus says there is a required textbook. Is that textbook worth buying if I have never done a class as intense as this?

Has anyone by chance seen any cheap (under $150 ish per credit) online credits in the following subjects? 
My school only accepts RA/ CLEP directly & NCCRS/ACE via PLA

What kind of degree do you want?: I’m leaning towards a BLS with an Educational Studies minor at UMPI. If there is something else I can do faster, I’m open to it. I’m also open to a second minor if it’s only a 2-3 more classes.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: none
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  
Commitments: Just a full time job
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 6 months.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Student loans would be fine. If not and it’s under $5k, I’ll put it on a credit card.

Is there anything I’m missing or that doesn’t count. Any classes I should still take at Sophia?

Thank you!

I have just discovered the BOG degree and interested in fulfilling most requirements through Sophia.com if possible.  With one year of general ed requirements from a university it seems that would mostly cover the 15 general ed requirements.  From there it looks like 45 elective credits are needed.  Can these be anything or is this the Area of Expertise?  Once general ed is taken care of what is the easiest way to fulfill the elective courses through sophia?  Also, auto CAD vert was done in High school, but not sure if this would count for anything
Thank you

Hi Everyone, 

I am looking into taking this degree, Anyone have an Excel on how to hack UMPI's BSBA Project Management & Information Systems degree? Between Saylor, Straighterline, Study, and Sophia?

Just wanted to pick someones brain and trying to keep cost as low as possible

Delete if this is not ok.
