  Applied CS Master's with no GRE?
Posted by: susanah4 - 08-26-2025, 10:27 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (3)

Anyone know of an applied CS Master's with no GRE requirement for someone with a 3.0 GPA in Software Development?   Don't have the math for a theory heavy CS and needs to be a program that a large financial institution would consider "acceptable" to be enrolled in for an internship so nothing piecemeal will work.  TIA

  What next?
Posted by: Momof3Girls - 08-26-2025, 07:11 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

My daughter (19) is wrapping up her last term of college. She will be graduating from TESU with an AS in Bus Admin and a BA in Psych. (Yes - gobs of alt credit thx to this group and free PSEO from our state). She wants to further her studies, but never had any intention of pursuing psych further. In other words, she never wanted to be a therapist etc.

She took a break for the last eight months and participated in the Disney College Program, which she loved. She learned that she loved hospitality, and we are wondering what to do next. She is considering an eCornell certificate in Hospitality Management, but could earn an additional associate's or bachelor's (or master's???) in Hospitality. 

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. Her theory is to earn now, while she still lives at home and doesn't have the added expense of rent, car payment, etc ...

She prefers online learning and, while low cost is important, she has considerable savings and is not opposed to spending it for the right program.

  Undergraduate Electrical Engineering degree online
Posted by: cheeseberserk - 08-25-2025, 03:06 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Hi,

Since I'm not very familiar with the U.S. education system, I was hoping someone could give me some insights about the following:

My ultimate goal is to earn an ABET-accredited degree in electrical engineering fully online, at the lowest possible cost.

I found an online undergraduate Electrical Engineering "upper-level two-year program" at Stony Brook University.
More info: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonline/

I read their requirements and it seems I have a chance of getting in, because my previous degree is not related to Electrical Engineering at all (it's a B.A. in English). (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl...ns/faq.php)

According to their admission requirements (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl.../index.php), the following courses need to be completed beforehand:

College Calculus I

College Calculus II

College Calculus III

Introduction to Differential Equations

An English composition course equivalent to WRT 102 (U.S. academic writing course), with at least a grade of C

My question is: are there any recommended (preferably inexpensive) online courses I could take as an international student to fulfill these prerequisites?

I came across some very low-cost online classes at New Mexico Junior College, but I’m not sure if they would be accepted.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thumbs Down Outrage Over Cracker Barrel Rebrand, Stock Plunges 20%+
Posted by: LevelUP - 08-24-2025, 03:38 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (8)

After avoiding nearly all political news stories since April, I finally gave in and clicked on the Cracker Barrel rebrand controversy.

Was it just Republicans crying again over some minor nonsense? Yes. But was there more to it? Maybe.

Interestingly, this ended up becoming a rare issue that seemed to unite people on both sides of the political spectrum.

The décor in the new restaurant design feels pretty bland and lacking in character. Do we really need ten or more rolling pins on the wall? Art should convey some kind of emotion. This conveys nothing to me.

Personally, I’ve eaten at Cracker Barrel before and it’s fine, but Waffle House is still my favorite.

Thoughts?

  AU or GMU Degree
Posted by: doyouhowdo1 - 08-24-2025, 08:12 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi Everyone,

Would you choose Acacia University at Arizona or Guglielmo Marconi University to do your doctorate degree?
Both university partner with Westford.

I prefer more on Guglielmo Marconi University because it is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education. However, when I look at the university website, I couldn't find anything about doctorate degree. Will the Italian Ministry of Education also recognised their doctorate degree?
https://www.westfordonline.com/course/do...eadership/

For Acacia University, it is only a NA university. But it is a U.S. university. So there won't be any problem about the degree.

  Pell Grant---UMPI ?????
Posted by: midnite123 - 08-24-2025, 02:25 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hi GUYS,
   

I may have asked a question similar to this,
but I am still confused.

If someone gets a Pell Grant for $7k+,
Does that mean for example,
that if you take 12 credits
at UMPI in 1 session for $1800,
mean you will get the full
Pell Grant?

Can you explain this a little?
Thank you!!!!

  Hacks for reversing biological aging...
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 08-23-2025, 07:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Anyone do anything remotely close to what this person has done? Using Biomarkers and all to determine your fitness and health level?  I should try something like this as I am getting older.  I am definitely interested in this and want to work on that part I may be lacking in (fitness or health wise).

Link: A longevity doctor says he reversed his biological age by 11 years. Here are the 3 things he does every day to stay healthy for longer.

  UMPI Grad Cert in SPED
Posted by: natshar - 08-23-2025, 04:11 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (4)

Anyone ever done the graduate certificate in Special Education?

https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/academic_p...grad-cert/


I don't see any information about it. It doesn't even seem like there is a way to apply for it. If you click apply to only gives the options for masters degrees.

Any information on this program anyone has would be appreciated. I don't think anyones ever done it before.

Thanks
