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!

Hi all,
I made a poor attempt at a bachelors degree long ago, starting in 2005. My transcript is on hold until June 1st, so I can't send to UMPI for evaluation.
Here's what I have from there:

Human Bio (3)
Comp/Lit 1 (4)
Comp/Lit 2 (4)
Stellar Astronomy (3)
Contemporary Math (3)
Art of Music Listening (3)
Gen. Psych (3)
Intro to Archaeology (3)
Intro to Phil: Practical Reasoning (3)
Understanding Movies (3)
Pre-Calc (4)
CS- Info Systems (4)
Intro to Programming (4)
Sense of Politics (3)
Visual Programming (3)
Principles of Acct 1 (3)
Microeconomics (3)
Intro to Soc. (3) 
Principles of Marketing (3)
Technical Report Writing (4)
Macroeconomics (3)
Spreadsheets & Databases (3)

I've been brushing up on some Sophia courses and have completed:
Art History 1
Intro to Info Tech
Intro to Business
Visual Communications
Intro to Ethics
Environmental Science
Critical Thinking
Essentials of Managing Conflict
Business Communications
Foundations of Statistics
Workplace Communications
US History 1
Ancient Greek Philosophers

I'm wondering if I could get some input on what would be the quickest way for me to get my Bachelors. My employer will pay for an MBA once i'm done but I have to do it quick. I've got 10+ years experience in business and currently work in communications/lobbying. I can work on classes at work and like to stay up late, so I would say 2-3 hours per day. I'm good at writing papers and researching.

Just looking for next steps to fill out the max credits before starting on July 1st.

Thank you!

What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors. Eventually will pursue a masters, ideally a MSW.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 85


Budget: As little as possible
Commitments: I have a full time job, but I can do a few hours of schoolwork a week during work hours, and I have no commitments outside of this.
Timeline: ASAP. Ideal would be before the end of Aug, 2024.

I have looked through the forum and have been lurking for a couple weeks now. I would prefer CBE because I have had success with that in the past, but I am also more than happy to take as many Sophia/etc credits somewhere and finish up that way. I have sent in applications to Excelsior and UMPI to see what classes they will transfer in.
My biggest concern is which credits may transfer, and what kind of classes they will leave me with. Since a majority of my credits are in human services/social work I am assuming a psych or general studies degree will be my best bet. I would love to be able to get started on some Sophia credits ASAP, but I’m not sure where to start with that.
I am feeling discouraged, because I expected to be done with school by now. I am looking for some reassurance, and guidance if anyone can tell me if I’ve got the right idea with this.

My daughter is almost done with her history degree at TESU. Two more classes! In the process of reviewing the new academic evaluation, I found that while she transferred in 90 ACE/NCCRS credits only 84 credits were being counted toward the maximum (90) total for a BA. I asked if there was an error. I'd rather know now than when she applies for graduation.  She received the following reply from Don Stoltz (we've gotten excellent answers from him).

Quote:You currently have 84 ACE credits applied. You are allowed a maximum of 90 credits. We did our own review for CLEP’s Analyzing and Interpretation of Literature. That is why it is not counting toward the ACE credit total.

Need some advice, please.
I just finished a bachelor's degree at UMPI in Business Admin with Project Mgmt and Info Sys.  I am waiting for the degree conferral from UMPI.  
Meanwhile, I am unemployed and actively searching for a job as a Business Analyst or Systems Analyst at a bank or credit union.  I will need to begin making payments on my student loan in July.  So far, I haven't had any interview calls.  I am beginning to apply for administrative assistant positions because I'm afraid I will not find a job.

I am interested in this 10-week online Business Analytics certification course hosted through my hometown b&m school, the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ (hosted through a company called GreenFig).  Cost is $2,450, which is pricey.  It is almost the same price as two sessions at UMPI!  I would literally have to charge it to my credit card. 
My thought process is that a certification from my local university may improve my chances of securing an interview, and I am also interested in learning Tableau.  The course package offers one-year online access to a Tableau cert course.
Has anyone taken any of these types of certification courses through their local universities?  I know Arizona State University in Phoenix (Tempe), AZ is also offering something similar.
Here is a link with info on the University of Arizona course: Business Analytics Science      This is the syllabus.

I would love to hear any comments/opinions on this course, or suggestions for an alternative or a similar online certification course that isn't as pricey?

What kind of degree do you want?: A BA or BS in any field that can earn me some ok to good money. I'm open to suggestions. My only criteria: As fast as possible and I'm quite bad with maths ( I can handle some statistics ofc, would just like to not study something that's 60% maths)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0

Provider Total Credits: 0

Some additional exam? None

other degrees? Only a highschool diploma

Goal?

I dropped out of Uni for mental health reasons a few years ago, didn't earn any credits, so now I feel better and would like to get a BA or BS.

I'm a fast learner and can study 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and would ideally like to finish my degree in under 6 months and spend less than $7000 (more is okay, if it's the only way).

The Uni needs to accept international students of course, and I need a program that's fully online. I read about Sophia, and would like to use that too.

I do need a degree that's recognized in Europe, as I'd perhaps like to stack a european Master on it later.

I'd be very thankful for even some hints about what I should read into, as the programs on offer are so many, and I'm really not sure which ones are suitable for europeans.

Thank you for any advice and have a great day!

Please be aware of the changes.  I was caught off guard while trying to do my System Analysis & Design course and still haven't completed it.   I'm now going to see if I can finish the operating system course, which is changing.

Here's a link to the changes.

Some potential downside to buying an electric car. 

There are 30 cows in a field 28 chickens. How many didn't?

Any guesses?  No cheating!

Hello everyone,

I am currently finishing up a Medical Assistant program that will lead to certification as a clinical medical assistant by the NHA.

When I am done I will be working towards Pierpont’s BOG AAS with hopefully an emphasis in biology.

Does anyone know if Pierpont will apply my certification as credit towards the BOG AAS?

I did see that they have some degrees that will use the certification as an emphasis but I think you need to attend the school for some credits in order to get that. I want to just get my credits from study.com, Sophia, the one RA credit and walk away with an associates degree as fast as possible.

Thanks
