Hi everyone! I'm reaching out seeking guidance on pursuing an online degree in Computer Science or Mathematics. Here's a bit about my background:


Location: Portugal
Age: 25
Education: I have completed a lot of courses in university relating to economics:

Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
Accounting I and II
Finance
Mathematics I and II (some topics in Linear Algebra and Calculus related to economics)
Statistics I and II
Data Analysis I and II (Excel and VBA).

Additional Certifications: I've also completed:


Google IT Support
Google Automation with Python
Google Project Management
Google Data Analysis


Budget: I would like to keep it below 10k.
Timeframe: I would like to finish it in 1 to 1.5 years.


My goal is to find an affordable and fast online program in either Computer Science or Mathematics. The ideal program would allow me to get into Georgia Tech's OMSCS or a reputable master's program in Engineering in Europe, specifically Portugal.

I've explored various options like TESU and SNHU, but I'm scared they won't be accepted in a master's degree. I tried contacting various universities, but since none of them was familiar with Sophia or Study.com, they could not confirm me if they would accept a bachelor's with alternative sources of credit.

I've also looked at the IT degree from Metropolia, but if possible I would prefer to get a degree in Computer Science or Math. I've also looked at the University of London degree, but it would take a while to finish and I'm scared about the bad reviews.

Currently, I'm doing the introductory programming courses from the University of Helsinki, in order to try to get some credits. Do you guys think TESU would be a good option for me? Are there any European Universities I can use? Also which degree do you guys think would be better in my situation math or cs? Any advice, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm currently working towards a Fire Science degree at Columbia Southern University. In the mean time, it would be beneficial if I could get the BOG AAS from Pierpont. I'm just unsure if the Credits I currently have would suffice. I have the following credits:

Local Community College:
French 1
Introduction to Computer Information Systems

Sophia:
Art History 1
Conflict Resolution
Environmental Science
Human Biology
Foundations of English Composition
Visual Communication
Macroeconomics
College Readiness
Introduction to Ethics
Microeconomics
Principles of Finance
Introduction to Chemistry
Project Management
Financial Accounting
Introduction to Nutrition

ALEKS: (On Creadly with Ace Recommendation)
College Algebra
Intermediate Algebra
Precalculus


Given the above, would I be eligible for any area of emphasis? Any Sophia courses I should consider to put me in a position to have an AOE?

Hello all. I'm new here but have referred to these boards many times for info. In fact, this is where I first learned of the BOG AAS from Pierpont, and for that I'm grateful to everyone who has posted such helpful info here. I have 93 credit hours from Saylor, Sophia, Straighterline and some NCCRS credits from Onlinedegree.com as well. I am so ready to get the one credit transferred to Pierpont but cannot seem to find a cheap and efficient way to do so. I've contacted dozens of community colleges and universities that are $200 or less per credit hour, only to find that ALL of them either use Canvas and require 16 weeks of instruction/lessons (regardless if it's one credit or three) OR they don't offer a one credit course at all. Does anyone know of ANY one credit course that can be completed quickly (on demand/self paced) that's a couple of hundred bucks? I know about TEL but I've already taken most of those courses and they seem really long and drawn out. The Clackamas library course takes eleven weeks and takes a couple more months to even get enrolled. I contacted ASU and their $25 credit is actually $425 due to the fee for transcript.  I really just need a single credit course that I can start and finish soon for a reasonable price. Any ideas would be so appreciated!

Hi,

I am new here and I just started the process.  Ive read so many post and just said lets do it.  I applied on 12/25 as my xmas gift to myself.

I'm transferring credits from Sophia and WGU- which have already been sent.  I received my email to access my student account and ROAR on 1/13/24 which I thought was really quick compared some of the older post I read.  So I have been just checking that daily to see  if my unofficial transcripts have been posted... then I will email Nancy.

If anyone has any other tips to add that I need to do please let me know, other than that I think it just a waiting game.

Thanks

I’ve taken a dozen of CS-related/IT-related credits in Finnish Universities (such as XAMK, Laurea etc.) in the past few months. Now I plan to use ACEI to evaluate these credits.

Im currently doing Sophia courses to get the Pierpont Board of Governors Associate's degree and am at 30 credits, I would like to apply for a job as NYPD police communications technician which requires me to show the successful completion of 30 college semester credits from an accredited college or university.

The job application process is time sensitive so I wont have the full degree on time and would need to get the credits on a transcript sooner.

My question is could I start the Pierpont new student process early without the full 60 credits and get a transcript from them to show the job the 30 credits?

Or would I have to transfer the credits somewhere else to get a transcript and then later on transfer them to Pierpont when I have the complete 60 credits?

I just want to confirm that doing a Business Capstone and a Liberal Arts Capstone in the same 15 credit term is a very bad idea. Is that correct?

Hi all
I just find out that the Westcliff University DBA which partnered with Capital University College (UAE) isAED 60,375 ~$16.500 for the whole program.

https://capitalcollege.ae/courses/doctor...ation-dba/

Westcliff University accredited regionally by WASC and ACBSP.

The things confused me is this school is for profit and doesnt get good reviews on the internet.

Anyone get more info about this university ?

Hello Everyone!

I used to be a regular poster on this board and on degreeinfo, but I have been away for a bit.

Anyway, I have been actively researching my family history - Flemish, German, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Rusyn - and I came across this weird little new program.  A university in the Czech Republic apparently offers virtual courses to those 50+ in the Czech Republic and it has been successful enough that they now appear to be expanding it to Czech-Americans.

I have no idea if these courses offer credit, but I kind of like the idea of the program as a way for Czech-Americans to learn about the culture.

I want to take a bunch of ACE/NCCRS credits. The problem is I already have a bachelor's degree.

How do I go about getting the courses added to a college's transcript to use for employment/grad school?

Do I sign up for a second bachelor's degree somewhere and then just attend one course or never attend?

Let me know what to do!
