I would like to accelerate a Masters in HR from TESU, has anyone been able to do this? I have some classes I could transfer from another degree. I'm going to call them but wanted to see if anyone has experience doing this.

Thanks!

  I'm hoping get help to figure out how to finally finish
Posted by: nevsage - 04-01-2025, 08:56 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

A big hello to all and many thanks in advance, 

I've been on the site on and off for 7 years or so.  I made an attempt to get a degree back then but having a child and then the whole Covid thing delayed it all. My son  is now in kindergarten and I have more time for studies so I've decided to get back to it.   My goal is to get a undergrad bachelors degree, so I can get my teachers’s certification.  I'm an ESL teacher now. 

Quickest route possible but some sort of educational focus would be good.  Business or management is ok too. UPMI seems like a good fit if it’s still possible to transfer in 90 credits and I can finish the last credits in 2-4 months. Sophia is a good match for me at this point for the rest of my 90 credits. 

Any guidance or a specific plan would be very helpful and appreciated.

  AoS course GPA question
Posted by: cranegameing - 03-31-2025, 05:35 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

I am projected to get a D on Software Engineering for the January term. This might bring my GPA down below from a 2.7 below a 2.0.

I am not sure what to do at this point because I want to submit the June graduation application.

If I test out of this course through Saylor, would I still earn credit for that course but my grade is still unaffected?

  UT Permian Basin - MS Finance or MS Energy Business
Posted by: bradm31 - 03-31-2025, 11:52 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (1)

My Bachelors is a BAAS, so definitely need a Masters. Generally, I would like to get into the O&G in Finance. As far as the finance classes go, basically everything except Management of Financial Institutions is in the Energy Business degree, but would Energy Business make me too niche? I'd like to get into O&G but in the event it isn't working out for a while, I'll want to just get a job in any Finance role.  Edit: I live in San Antonio, TX so close to all major Oil industries.

Lightbulb I traveled the world while taking OL classes because it was cheaper than room & board
Posted by: LevelUP - 03-31-2025, 10:47 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I traveled the world while taking online classes because it was cheaper than room and board at my college. I don't regret it.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/i-...r-AA1wqGtg

This is a great example of thinking outside the box. One way to reduce college costs when attending a flagship or popular state college is to take CLEP exams, as many colleges allow up to 30 credits from CLEP, DSST, or AP exams. 

Another option is to take inexpensive community college courses or ASU Universal Learner credits, which can boost your total transfer credits to around 60 credits. That means you could enter college as a junior—with only two years left to complete!

This article also makes a great point: you could travel the world for less than it costs to live in a cramped dorm with a roommate. It’s a win-win situation.

People often talk about the social experience gained from attending college on campus—but what about the social and life experience that comes from traveling the world?

Thoughts?
