  3 Year Bachelors from a Community College
Posted by: natshar - 06-02-2025, 02:14 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I found this: https://www.yc.edu/v6/schools/bucs/basb.html

A three year 92 credit bachelors degree from a RA US based CC. Anyone want to do any digging on transfer policies and pricing? Maybe this could be something to look into. And its all online.

  Wrapping up Bachelor's
Posted by: digdug - 06-01-2025, 06:28 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

Hi everyone,
I'm in my late 30's, been in IT for almost 20 years, and currently work as a supervisor in an IT department.  I would like opinions on the best route to finish my Bachelor's degree.  I'm probably not going to reach retirement due to my disability but would like to try to keep working up the ladder and hoping checking this box will help.  I'm really looking for the path for least resistance since my energy is zapped easily.  I tried UMPI 1-2 years ago but didn't even get to finish a class when I got sick.  IT degree would be nice but not necessary.

I hope to finish up ~10 more Sophia classes this month.

  The University of the People is recruiting new spammers
Posted by: question - 06-01-2025, 10:10 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (13)

This Israeli diploma mill, disguised as an American university, keeps falling into ridicule: I received a "job offer" to become a spammer, which they call an "ambassador". The job essentially consists of bombarding internet forums with contributions or advertising messages, even fabricated ones, and even automatically generated by AI.

The best spammer of the month gets a prize of $100, to be used as credit on social media (Instagram, if I understand correctly).

In reality, $100 for being a spammer (and only given to the "best") is very little, but it may appeal to people in the poorer countries of the world. This tactic has already been used before, as seen in this discussion https://groups.google.com/g/it.comp.lang...SxKRR05nAM where some Indian or African spammers joined in to say that the school would have a "top faculty". The only problem is, it actually doesn’t have any faculty!

Instead of recruiting spammers, couldn't they invest in qualified teaching staff? No, because the so-called "university of the people" is a machine created to suck money, and qualified teachers would cost money. Better to recruit underpaid spammers.

  No High School Diploma – Can I Still Transfer 24+ Credits
Posted by: Sergei108 - 06-01-2025, 06:12 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (9)

Your Location: Kazakstan
Your Age: 27
What kind of degree do you want?: BS, for now not specific much
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Any certifications or military experience?: None

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice and maybe some personal experiences.
I am international applicant and i’m really interested in continuing my education, but I don’t have a high school diploma or GED . However, I heard that University of the People (UoPeople) may allow students to bypass the high school requirement if they transfer in at least 24 semester credits from sophia, study.com or other platforms. This sounds like a great option for me.
But I’m also skeptical — does this pathway actually work in practice?
Has anyone here successfully enrolled or transferred into UoPeople (or a similar university) without a high school diploma, using college credits instead?
Also, I’ve emailed UoPeople’s admissions team multiple times, but I haven’t received any response yet. So I’m turning to this forum in hopes that someone has gone through this and can clarify a few things:

  • Is the 24-credit transfer option real and still active?
  • Beside UoPeople are there any other universties with such option?
  • Any potential red flags or problems I should be aware of?
Any tips or real-life examples would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Sorry if i chose wrong category to post.

  High school senior path?
Posted by: cljrmccoy - 05-31-2025, 01:27 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (13)

Your Location: California
Your Age: 17
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor
Current Regional Accredited Credits:

From Bakersfield College:
First Aide & CPR - 3 units
Intro to Art - 3 units

Enrolled in Eng 1A and ASL 1 in Fall. I will take ASL 1-4 over the next 4 semesters.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:

CRM-101: Basics of Criminal Law - Lawshelf 3 units
CRM-201: White‐Collar Crime - Lawshelf 3 units
CRM-102: Search and Seizure - Lawshelf 3 units
GOV-204: First Amendment Law - Lawshelf 3 units
CSM Math Certificate

Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: My parents are willing to pay for my bachelor's at my local University, so anything less than that is a bonus. 
Commitments: I homeschool and my schedule is pretty open. 
Dedicated time to study: 6 hours/day
Timeline: I'd really like to enter the ASL interpretation program at my local community college in fall 2027, but I'd like to enter it with a bachelor's instead of going through the 2 years for my associate's
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: My parents

Thank you so much for any insight you can give! I'm open for any degree, but am not particularly math/tech inclined so I'd probably generally avoid those paths. I started off by using Smarterby1Degree, but I'm learning that there may be quicker, cheaper, easier paths so I'd love any suggestions you can give.
