As the title says. Interested in doing a BSCS, but don't want to take any "CS-ish" courses, as my main goal is to collect certificates (I know it's weird, but why not!?).
Found this BSCS degree plan at DF:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...ue&sd=true


I've to do:
Comparative Programming Languages (proctored course)
Online Education Strategies

Except for the 2 courses, which cannot be transferred, I'll take them at UoPeople, and following the above transfer guide, is that possible? Apart from 10 courses for residency, are there any more requirements? Could I just take random courses to meet residency? TIA!


(PS: Couldn't afford TESU's BACS but want to do something that is CS-ish, so I'm aiming for this degree.)

Hey DegreeForum crew,

I tried to search this forum first for feedback on ENEB but came up with nothing. The "master thread" is difficult to search unless you know exact terms to search for.

I just started ENEB’s Global MBA bundle - the one that promises an MBA, a Master in Data Science & Business Intelligence, and a Master in Project Management for a low, low price. After going through the first wave of coursework, here’s the blunt verdict:

1. It’s All 30,000-Foot Slides

• MBA track: I expected crunchy case studies, real financial modeling, and late-night spreadsheet marathons. Instead, the “deep dive” is a slide deck on leadership styles followed by an assignment asking me to summarize PEST analysis in 300 words.
  
• Data Science & BI track: Hoped for Python notebooks, SQL labs, and dashboards in Power BI or Tableau. Reality? An essay prompt that begins, “Explain why Big Data is important…” - no code, no datasets, no tools in sight.
  
• Project Management track: Was ready to crack open MS Project or Jira, build Gantt charts, and wrestle with earned-value equations. What I got was a glossary of PMBOK terms and a reflective paragraph on “What is a stakeholder?”
  
  

• Code in R and Python for analytics.
  
• Budget real companies down to the cash-flow statement.
  
• Sit proctored finals that turned my knuckles white.
  
• Cited research and case studies. ENEB does not provide any citations for anything so you cannot verify the accuracy or evidence.
  
  
  

• Credential collectors who want extra letters after their name, fast and cheap.
  
• Self-starters willing to bolt on Coursera, Udemy, or Kaggle projects for substance.
  
• HR check-box hunters in markets where “master’s degree” alone opens doors.
  

1. List the tools you want to master. If the syllabus doesn’t name IDEs, SQL, or cloud platforms, assume they’re absent.
   
2. Time-box a refund window. ENEB runs frequent promos; enroll only if you’re okay eating the cost should you bail.
   

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
