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.

Is it possible to change professors in a course? My current professor is said to take a long time grading compared to the other professor. Thank you.

I am helping our son to plan his degree, and he is thinking of adding on the Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics to the BACS.

I just found out about TESU's Bachelor to Masters Program. Does anybody know more about that with regards to the Data Analytics programs?

How would that work? Are the courses with Statistics.com different at the Undergraduate versus Graduate level? Does anybody have any advice to offer?

Also, I wonder if 3 summer internships in 3 different calendar years would fulfill the 3 years of Professional Experience, of if they mean full time employment for 36 months?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a thread or list somewhere of places you can take inexpensive graduate level course to transfer for a graduate degree. 

While most grad degrees do not allow as many courses transferred, some do allow electives or specific courses (WGU MBA for example) to be transferred in.

Thanks,

Acacia University has the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program for $10k.

Acacia University is acquired by Westford Group (UAE) and accredited by DEAC

The program is delivered online.

They also has some Master of Education programs for $5k

Looks like Kairos U is developing a new online MA in Leadership. Tuition will likely be $300/month.

I've learned that Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is putting finishing touches on a Master's in Liberal Studies (MLS) with Philosophy Concentration.

It is being discussed as a 31 CRH program of 10 CRH of general/interdisciplinary Liberal Studies credits (e.g. "The Knowledge Society"), and the remainder in Philosophy (18 CRH) with Thesis or, with permission, other culminating project (3CRH).

They will unveil it likely this Fall, or Spring 2025. Meanwhile one can take the general MLS courses.

Cost would be around USD $10K. The program would be around 1-3 years depending on scheduling, one's course load, etc.

The MLS also offers concentrations (for those seeking 2 degrees) in Global Management, Art History, Literary Arts, Political Science, etc. 
There're also low-cost MBA, MA and MEd programs.

They have a well-regarded Bachelor's Philosophy program and some serious Philosophy educators in their faculty.

Long time listener, first time caller. This board has been incredibly helpful to me as I work on completing my BA Computer Science program at TESU. I'm currently 30 credit hours away from graduation. My plan was to complete as much as possible at Sophia/SDC and just take the Capstone at TESU (I have the rest of my SDC classes preplanned with advising. I'm finished with my Sophia classes). I already have a previous BA and a MS degree, so Cornerstone was waived and I had a decent chunk of transfer credit. In terms of finances, the plan was paying out of pocket for Capstone + waiver.

Here's where my plan gets a potential update. I switched jobs last year and now I am eligible for tuition reimbursement. I couldn't get the residency waiver reimbursed, but I could get the cost of 2 semesters almost completely reimbursed. I'm considering taking a few more courses at SDC and then finish up the remaining classes at TESU (split over 2 semesters, so 3 or 4 classes in each semester). This would save me considerable money, but I haven't seen a whole lot of posts about taking courses with TESU other than Software Engineering or Capstone. I currently work in IT and I don't have to commute for work, so I have considerable time to devote to this (and a little background in the field). 

Has anyone taken most of their AOS courses at TESU? Any recommendations for what would be best to take at TESU and what's best to take at SDC? Currently I have my additional AOS electives, Calculus, MIS, and Intro to IT completed. So I have a decent amount to choose from at this point.

Thank you all!

Good day

Has anybody come across these online universities for doctoral programs who operate from Malaysia? 

Manipal GlobalNXT University (GlobalNXT) - https://globalnxt.edu.my/programs/doctor...istration/

Universal Business Academy (UBA) - https://universalbusinessacademy.com/edba/

Jesselton University College (Jesselton) - https://jesselton.edu.my/about-jc/juc-accreditations

UBA offers a EDBA degree in partnership with Jesselton University College that can be completed in 12 months at a total cost of MYR 41688 (about US $9000). Jesselton has the following accreditations per their website: CHEA, ACBSP & ASIC amongst others. I have not as yet verified these claims. I have attached their doctoral program brochure. 

GlobalNXT has a year program, which could possibly be reduced to two years subject to potential credit transfers from earlier studies and business experience. The program costs less than US 7000.

Any views or comments will be welcomed. 

Thank you.

Hi all,

I am a bit confused with credit transfers, tuition, etc.

So, here is my story:


I graduated from Purdue Global (then Kaplan) 6 years ago. I took some courses with StraighterLine and they transferred just fine. I have now enrolled for another BA at TESU and sent them my transcript. On my transcript, some of the courses have no names, it only says Credit Transfer. This is the case with some of the courses from StraighterLine. I also recently requested StraighterLine to send my transcript to Credly.

My questions are:
1. My Purdue transcript is now with TESU - I suspect some credits will transfer but what to do with the ones from StraighterLine? Can I resubmit the transcript from SL again? Will I have to pay for it?
2. For credits that do not transfer, I read some posts here and there are lots of ways to earns those credits. But while I am taking those courses on other platforms, do I need to pay tuition to maintain my student status?
3. When I later transfer credits from other platforms, do I need to pay for credit transfers?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
