  MAT 140 or PCJ 315
Posted by: colonelcamp - 07-11-2025, 09:29 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi Everyone,

Looking for some advice. I chose to go with PCJ 315 instead of MAT 140 and just opened it for the first time. Looks like a pain that will take forever. Maybe I'm wrong, but can anyone tell me about MAT 140 in detail? I wonder how one goes through a math class where there are no tests. I did a few math courses on Sophia and actually took the time to refresh my memory on the material, but it sucked. I hate math so that's why I went with the PCJ 315 course, but I hear MAT 140 is pretty fast to get through but just want to get some details on it. 

Thx!

  New 1-Credit TECEPs: Intro to Project Management, Science of Caffeine
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 07-11-2025, 10:34 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (6)

Quirky new additions to the list of TECEP exams: In the new section "1 Credit TESU General Electives," two exams

They join the existing 1-credit TECEP Medical Terminology (APS-1000-TE), which is listed under Applied Science and Technology.

All three courses are also available as a traditional online course ("formal course"). The formal course is more expensive out of pocket, but is eligible for financial aid and would contribute to the 15 semester hour TESU course residency for a degree.

  upGrad MBA from Paris School of Business
Posted by: artem - 07-11-2025, 08:38 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

I am considering pursuing an upGrad MBA from the Paris School of Business. 
This program lasts one year and has triple accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD. 

However, I have some concerns. It appears that the MBA program may not be accredited by the French government, which raises questions about evaluation. 
For instance, I couldn't find the Paris School of Business in the WES database. Additionally, Anabin gives it an H+/- rating and indicates that not all programs are accredited, only the five-year Master in Management program. 

What are your thoughts on this?

  Old XAMK and Old Pierpont Question
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 07-10-2025, 06:14 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (3)

I know this is kinda old, but I will ask it anyway.

I took the "Introduction to Video Game Creation" course (35 ECTS) at XAMK. I didn’t complete the whole course, but I’m pretty sure I finished some parts that should give me some ECTS credits. 

Besides, I also finished my Diploma of Higher Education in Tourism and Service Business Management (60 ECTS credits), but the ECTS from the video game course aren’t listed on my diploma.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the ECTS I earned from the game creation course added to my diploma, or if not, could I get a separate transcript that lists those credits? Who should I be asking?

Also, do yall know if I could get a physical diploma (Diploma of Tourism and Service Business Management 60 ECTS) for my records? I don’t mind paying a fee if needed.

Additionally, about the ACEI, do I just send them the diploma+transcripts? How does ACEI work?

As for Pierpont, can I request a physical transcript? Also, did someone try to get a diploma cover? I don't mind paying for them. I just don't want a digital one and want a "real" one.

Too many questions at a time. Thanks in advance!

  Colorado Residents - Advice Needed
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 07-09-2025, 02:04 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (5)

Hey everyone, anyone here a CO resident?  I'm looking at some vehicles online (Autotrader) and came across Nissan EV's in Colorado!  To keep the story brief and short, Nissan and their dealerships are having an amazing sale on their EV vehicles.  I am looking for the 2 for 1, yes... I buy two vehicles for the price of one (after the rebates are done, I guess).  I've not done a purchase of EV vehicles before, so I don't really know how the rebates work, I guess they're immediate if you're a resident already.

Here's an example: New Nissan Leaf (2025) for $13K plus New Nissan Ariya (2025) for $30K, that's $43K USD.  If I purchase the Ariya from WA state brand new, it's already very close to that price point.  I mean, I can get someone in CO state to purchase, wait for all the rebates to come through and then change the name to mine.  The person who helps me purchase can get X months of free use while waiting, as I'll be co-owner on the purchase.  Then they can transfer it to my name, and I save the $.

Does, or will that work? I just emailed them a few minutes ago, it's going to be at least a day wait for answers.  PS: $25/month lease of a Nissan Leaf is also available, it's on their website here, that's like coffee for the week and you get a vehicle lease (I didn't look at the terms, but should have a deposit/down payment): Trusted Nissan Dealership | McDonald Nissan

  Returning to UMPI for a Second Degree – Questions About Transcripts and Application
Posted by: Alim83 - 07-07-2025, 08:17 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (22)

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can help clarify a few things about returning to UMPI as a second-degree student.
I previously completed a Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) with a minor in Management and Political Science. Now I’d like to come back for the BABA in Management & Leadership.
I’ve already submitted my new application, but I have a few questions:

  1. Transcripts
    • Do I need to re-send all of my previous college transcripts again?
    • Or will the transcript from my BLS degree at UMPI suffice since they should already have the other records on file from my prior application?
  2. Returning Student Process
    • Are there any special steps or forms for returning students pursuing a second degree?
    • Is the application process any different from applying as a first-time student?
If anyone has been through this process recently, I’d really appreciate any insight on how it works and what to expect next.
Thanks so much for any help or advice!
