  Hospitality Marketing
Posted by: MareMors - 03-15-2026, 10:53 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - No Replies

Hey all,
I am currently in the middle of Study.com's Hospitality Marketing. The quizzes are very simple, but I had a question regarding their 2 assignments. I have looked them over and they seem fairly simple, but I wanted to see if anyone had perviously done this course and if they had any advice/suggestions/examples. Would love to get some feedback on this! As always, thanks in advance!

  The Strait of Hormuz: Is This War Worth the Risk?
Posted by: LevelUP - 03-14-2026, 08:49 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

So I see oil and gasoline prices rising, and I'm starting to wonder: what is the purpose of this Iran war?

Sure, Iran has done some bad things, but is this war actually making us any safer, or is it just creating a vendetta against the U.S.?

They want to attack Cuba because Cuba can't punch back, and I get that. Not that I agree with it, but I understand how they could attack Cuba and get away with it. 

Iran can't punch back directly, but they could close the Strait of Hormuz, which would shut down a large part of the world's energy markets and put us at the mercy of Iran.

This is becoming a big mess to clean up.

  Udacity AI Project Management MBA
Posted by: Jakehazex21 - 03-14-2026, 01:40 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (12)

Udacity just dropped an MBA in AI Product Management, accredited through Woolf. Runs on their $250/month subscription model, so sticker price lands around $5,000 but with their regular discounts you could realistically finish for $3,000 to $4,000.

I might look into this one for my own trajectory. Practical AI product strategy without needing to write raw code is appealing for anyone trying to get into tech in a post-Claude code world.

Woolf accreditation, so take that for what it is. Curious what y’all think.

  3 Credit Undergrad Courses - $500
Posted by: MEarlBITW - 03-12-2026, 09:10 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (1)

https://www.globalcitizenshipstudies.com/courses

So these are apparently transcripted through Hartwick College (RA) in New York. Normally $785, currently running a special for $500 per. 

Weird partnership with the Centre for Global Citizenship Studies. Gonna research how this will work in their Global Studies BA or their Individual Student Program BA/BS. They DO accept up to 90 transfer credits, so there are some intriguing options here.

  If I fail a TECEP, can I use a CLEP?
Posted by: ittybittyerin - 03-12-2026, 09:15 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Please soothe my anxiety.

TLDR: I've read comments that if you fail a class, you may be denied using an ACE credit for it. Can anyone confirm that rule and tell me if it applies if I fail the TECEP?

Background: I completed the Modern States course and received the voucher for the Sociology CLEP. After I registered for the CLEP, I realized that Sociology is offered as a TECEP. I've been using TECEPs to fill up as many RA credits as I can so I registered for the TECEP. I booked the tests back to back this weekend but after some research, I'm well prepared for the CLEP but possibly not for the TECEP. I'm concerned that if I fail the TECEP, I won't be allowed to use the CLEP to replace it.

Sad I'm in Degree Hell
Posted by: sal1820 - 03-12-2026, 08:20 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (17)

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of expert guidance to pull me out of degree hell. I started off at a prestigious American university and had to pull out nearly 2/3 of the way into my degree. I then enrolled simultaneously for another in-person bachelor's degree in my home country and an online associate degree at University of the People. My home country is not recognizing my bachelor's degree because it is based on my associate degree and that was online. They don't grant equivalence for an online degrees in my home country.

I tried getting admission abroad in the UK and most institutions rejected my application because my qualifications were not equal to a UK bachelor's degree according to UK ENIC. I have attached a screenshot with this message. But eventually I was admitted to a triple accredited business school. It wasn't the best idea to go down this route. I think I should have first sorted out my degree issues before heading abroad the way I did.

Now I have blown a lot of money and effort into my education but still don't have a lot to show for it. I can't get a job in my home country since they are not attesting my bachelor's degree. Based on the UK-ENIC assessment, my bachelor's degree will not get an international equivalence assessment for a US or UK bachelor's degree. Most of the Middle East (Dubai, Saudi Arabia) is closed off to me because my bachelor's degree is not being attested by my home country (I still have the UoPeople associate degree but its online and some countries like mine don't grant equivalence for online degrees).

 I think a good and cheap bachelor's top-up program could solve all my issues. But would that reduce the value of my triple-accredited UK master's degree? I would appreciate some well-meaning and expert guidance for how I can pull myself out of degree hell.


in case someone is interested in credit breakdown:
77 American credits from first university - no degree
45 from University of the People - Associate Degree
64 from top-up undergraduate degree in home country - Undergraduate degree
180 UK credits from UK university for master's - Master's degree

  AI and SWE class study.com replacements?
Posted by: DuckyBoi - 03-11-2026, 06:56 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

quick question for you all: 

I'm nearing the end of my degree (BA in CS) and I need two more classes. The AI class and SWE class. 

would the study.com alternatives count as credit for those courses? Here are the study.com courses: 

- Computer Science 307: Software Engineering

- Computer Science 311: Artificial Intelligence

really need to know as I am worried that I may fail both of these classes. I really want to graduate on time before the June Commencements. 


Thank you All!

  University of Hertfordshire (UK) £7,000 DBA
Posted by: ElectiveCredits - 03-11-2026, 06:53 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster.

I live in the US, but have been digging through UK graduate programs for deals to put on my metaphorical aspirations board. I came across University of Hertfordshire's £7,000 DBA.

Link to program: https://online.herts.ac.uk/masters/docto...nistration

Link to fee schedule showing £7,000 DBA as a total program cost: https://online.herts.ac.uk/fees-and-funding

Business Administration isn't my field, but I thought people here might be interested in knowing.
