Okayama University of Science (a private university, not to be confused with Okayama University) is offering an online bachelor's degree in Information Science and Engineering, with the caveat that the entire program is done in Japanese. Still, it seems open to the idea of foreigners taking the course, although application documents do have to be mailed to the office (including proof of Japanese fluency).

While this degree will not be attractive to most users in this forum, it might be useful for Japanese diaspora abroad or to anyone looking to improve their Japanese while doing a bachelor's.

Hi folks!  I know I'm connected (this is Christie with Plotted Path) across FB, Discord, and Reddit with many people, but I wanted to post here too.  

If you're planning to attend commencement this May 9 in person in Presque Isle, could you fill out our survey?  https://forms.gle/vPNXev7a5fXTszoB8

Additionally, I'm hosting a party after graduation on May 9th from 6-9pm at the Northeastland Hotel.  This is drop in, bring your friends/family, and connect with other Alumni!   Casual and intended to be fun for all.  I hope to see you all there!!

Kairos University will end FAFSA participation at least in D. Min. and other graduate programs. Officials  informally cited increasing mandated bureaucratic costs burdensome to a small program.

The University is accredited and focuses on a low graduate tuition to begin with for its primarily religious-oriented and Seminary students.

I've applied to UNISA's PhD program in Public Policy and International Affairs. 

My most cost-effective alternative option would be to take a brick-and-mortar Public Administration PhD in my hometown/current city of residence on an employer-provided tuition waiver I've access to, but that would keep me locked into a specific employment track and geographic location potentially longer than I'd like; said program is also front-loaded with coursework that veers a bit sideways from my intended research topic, and thus not quite ideal. So UNISA seems like a more viable option for that reason, as well as in that it is more "portable" and can withstand any changes in employment or location I experience. 

That said, I've also heard quite a bit about UNISA doctorates being a test of patience or difficult to complete via high bureaucratic hurdles and limited scholarly guidance, via this and the sister forum. How accurate is that reputation?

Howdy, folks!

I am looking to obtain a degree to satisfy the state licensure requirements in Texas. 

Requirements: "A Bachelor's degree in architecture, engineering, physical science, or natural science."

I'm well entrenched in the building science, environmental consulting, remediation, and general construction nerd world. If I could stay in that, it would be amazing. I'm open for suggestions. I generally hate biology and so forth. If I can avoid it, that would be amazing. 

Honestly, I need to check the box so I can become licensed work on downsizing my operation to a more comfortable and efficient level.

Loving it so far, clean interface, the videos are downloadable, and it's very organized. The videos usually range from 3 to 10 minutes, though sometimes they hit 20 minutes. 

If you have any questions, let me know! Time is tight right now, so you might have to wait a bit for a reply. 

I started using Udacity to upskill, so I said might as well do the masters program! I didn't do the credit exemption because I wanted to do all the courses.

I've applied to UNISA's Public Policy and International Affairs program with a research proposal geared towards their Security and Intelligence cluster, but I'm curious what else is out there in this vein. 

O.P. Jindal, for example, only offers this type of degree at the Master's level and Zimbabwe Open University has a Peace and Conflict Master's that may or may not segue into their broad departmental PhD program (Zimbabwe Open University's website is also shoddily designed, and the reputation of the country itself, has been discussed extensively on the sister forum, may be a count against it). There is EUCLID but per another thread its accreditation and history both come across as very sketchy from outside.
