Hi Everyone,
I've been reading the forum for the past few days, and I want to thank you all for the incredible amount of information shared here, it's truly awesome.
If you don't mind, let me share a bit of background about myself. I’ve been working for over 10 years, primarily in the tech industry, with a focus on product management. A few months ago, I decided to pursue a career change with the goal of working in the agriculture or forestry/horticulture sector. To support this transition, I’m planning to earn a relevant Bachelor's degree and later apply for a Master’s program. I originally graduated with a major in International Trade, but unfortunately, I won't be able to transfer any credits. I completed my studies in China, where I received a graduation certificate but never obtained the official degree (it's a somewhat unusual system there). At the time, I didn’t need the degree itself, and now it’s too late to obtain it.
Your Location: EU
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: Biology, Environmental Studies, Technology or Similar.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None (currently enrolled at Sophia so far)
Any certifications or military experience?: Non that is applicable
Budget: optimally 10,000 USD, and preferably under 15,000 USD
Commitments: 25-40h work, small kid (under 1)
Dedicated time to study: 10-20 hours a week, probably mostly late night and weekends
Timeline: 1 year approximately
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
Goal: Finish BA/BS then go to MS in Agriculture
Credit plan: Get as much ACE credit as possible (90) and is possible do RA courses as well
Where I would appreciate help:
1/ Does anyone have experience with any of these majors or something similar?
2/ I haven't seen a TESU degree plan for Biology, Environmental Studies, or Technical Studies yet and honestly, I haven’t put together a full plan myself either (i'll try to do that this week). But I'm curious: do you think it's realistic to transfer in all 90 ACE credits for any of these majors?
3/ Any recommendations for RA schools that are fast, cost-efficient, and easy to work with? Ideally something where I can just specialize in a few courses and speedrun the rest. Bonus if enrollment isn't required.
4/ Anyone tried enrolling with EU High School Credentials to TESU before? I`d love to ask a few questions if anyone had and would be okay to discuss.

Nexford University MBA |

I recently started my MBA journey at Nexford University, specializing in AI, and wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone else has experience with their programs.
So far, I've been impressed with the well-structured and organized curriculum. It's a competency-based model, which I appreciate. The program includes the following courses:
- Global Business
- Leadership and Organizational Development
- Marketing Strategy
- Technology & Operations Management
- Accounting and Financial Reporting
- Organizational Strategy
- Introduction to Intrapreneurship and Innovation
- Financial Decision Making
One of the standout features for me has been the world-class customer service. The pay-as-you-go tuition model is also a huge plus. It’s designed to be flexible, allowing you to pay less if you finish faster, and a tuition cap on all degree programs means you don't have to worry about rising costs if life gets in the way. The affordable monthly payments, absence of hidden fees, and the ability to pause or cancel at any time provide a lot of control over your budget.
Speaking of affordability, I discovered a great scholarship for North American students who have completed Sophia Learning courses. It reduces the monthly MBA tuition of $450 by 25%, bringing it down to $337.50 per month. This is a significant saving for anyone coming from the Sophia platform.
I was also able to transfer my ENEB MBA and was given the maximum 50% transfer allowance. They also accepted my Master in Supply Chain, which was evaluated by Scholaro. This was a game-changer, as it will allow me to pivot my specialization. Nexford’s transfer policy seems quite flexible, accepting credits from past academic and professional achievements to help save time and money.
Regarding the pace, my initial understanding was that I would be limited to one course per month. However, after looking into it, it seems that while new learners start with one course in their first month, they can then take up to two courses per month thereafter. This is great news, as it means I might be able to finish my remaining six courses in as little as three months.
Nexford is nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and CHEA. While it's not regionally accredited, I've found the quality of the courses to be on par with other programs I've experienced.
It seems like Nexford has a strong focus on learners from Africa at the moment, but their marketing suggests a push to attract more students from the US.
If you're interested in Nexford, here's my referral link: https://nexford-university.referral-fact...m/uMm1TJyy
Does anyone else have experience with Nexford?

| Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF) Missed Attention to Detail |

So I'm reading news stories, with photos, about the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF). So the Air Force senior enlisted person is getting blasted for addressing Airman while his neck tie was too short. Silly rule, but it is a rule and, thd CMSAF is obligated to be the perfect exemplar of uniform standards.
I assume he has his own decent size staff of senior enlisted people. I think his staff failed him. They should not have let him appear in public without a perfect uniform. This may appear to be insignificant. I think this little case study deserves discussion.
Does it even matter that his tie did not cover his Belt buckle?
What difference does a leader's appearance make?
Did his staff fail him(I think they did), or is he the only one responsible for his uniform?
