  Applying for Graduation
Posted by: Armadillo1 - 03-07-2025, 06:12 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

I'm a little confused about when to apply for graduation. I only need the 10 courses for residency and am registered to start Mar 10th at the beginning of Spring II. I need 4 classes for the actual degree, and then 6 other random courses to complete the residency requirement. I' already have the classes approved and choose the easiest for me classes I can find. I'm hoping that I can complete all 10 courses in just 1 term. When do I apply for graduation?

Also when can I start applying for grad school?

  Big 3 and other Bachelor degree options
Posted by: abart37 - 03-07-2025, 05:10 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

IFirst , I’d like to thank the posters on degree forum . I was able to get a pierpont AAS BOG degree in August . I have 69 credits currently and I’m still working on Sophia and study.com . With that said , what is my fastest and most affordable option to complete a BA or BS in general studies or liberal arts (since I suppose both of those would be faster than having a major . I’m looking for something as affordable and timely as possible. I know about the big 3. Charter Oak and Excelsior seem expensive. I’m enrolled now at UoPeople in BSBA with many credits but have a background in practical nursing and after a few business classes and it’s not very interesting for me . I know with general studies or liberal arts I can minor in something health related. (Health management, etc). Has anyone taken a similar route ?


Adding :


Your Location: USA
Your Age: Early 40s
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor’s in anything health related including liberal arts or general studies with minor in health related subjects.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 15
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: around 52 or more
Any certifications or military experience? Licensed practical nurse
Budget: $3500
Commitments: 20 hours per week of job obligations
Dedicated time to study: 20 hours per week
Timeline: Need a degree by the end of 2025, so 10 months from now.


My priorities are getting are passing the cpc , obtaining a bachelors degree and with my background in practical nursing getting a job with health insurance or similar .

I could also keep pursuing the BSBA at UoPeople since they won’t let me switch back to BS Health Science since I’m at over 45 credits. However, BSBA is not something I’m very interested in.

Posted by: Ares - 03-07-2025, 04:08 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

Would anyone be interested in a BA/BAS in Computer Studies? TESU already has an AAS in Applied Computer Studies.

BA/BAS in Computer Studies Degree Structure:

45 Credits in the GER.
45 Credits in any combination of Computer Science and CIS courses but one of each required. 15 UL credits and 39 of 45 credits have to be level 2xx or higher.
30 Credits in Electives.

Thoughts?

  Degree Planning. Do I need 10 classes or 12
Posted by: 00u00u00 - 03-07-2025, 12:32 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (8)

I am starting Spring 2 for BAS-MIS at the recommendation of this forum from BLS and I thought I would’ve maxed out my transfers but I clearly didn’t. There are a few classes which I thought I covered with Sophia (Biology and Comms) but it looks like I’ll need English 121 and a few other GECs. Any recommendations for the easiest classes to fulfill my requirements?

Additionally, is it worth it to transfer in any additional classes vs taking them at UMPI like Spanish?

  General Chemistry I
Posted by: MoeSizzle323 - 03-07-2025, 02:43 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (1)

How hard was General Chemistry at TESU? It is my last class for my BS and it is wrecking me. Just started and these Alex questions and assignments are taking me hours , are the exams just as hard? 60 percen of the grade is 3 exams. Will it get easier or is it all math? I did all the labs separately and they werent nearly as hard. What worked for you?

Question BA in Liberal Studies CS and NSM Concentration Questions
Posted by: Ares - 03-06-2025, 04:12 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (13)

I am helping someone plan their degree but I have some questions about the BA in Liberal Studies Concentrations. I searched the forums but I could not find an answer for this.

For the 18 credits in the BALS Computer Science Concentration:

Quote:A. Concentration (18 Credits)

COS-3300 - Computer Architecture
COS-2410 - Data Structures
COS-2050 - Python Programming
3
Select 9 credits from the following:

COS-4510 - Artificial Intelligence
CIS-3110 - Database Management
CIS-3200 - System Analysis and Design I
CIS-3510 - Software Engineering

1. Do they have to take these exact course names or transfer equivalents, or do they have flexibility for any transferable Computer Science / CIS courses at the same level?

1A. If they have to take these exact course names or transfer equivalents do we have a list here of transfer equivalents?

2. This is also confusing because the Degree Requirements state that "a minimum of 18 credits must be upper level, 3000 level or above, and no more than 6 credits at the 1000 level in the area of study" but they only have 5 (15 credits) listed here for UL credit not 18. So how would you meet that requirement? A: The capstone counts as one of the upper level courses, so that gets to you to 18.

3. I noticed the Capstone has changed and now says "LIB-4970 - Liberal Arts Capstone - Natural Sciences, Math and Computer Science". From what I read here if it was a BA degree the capstone would be on anything Liberal Arts related, I assume that changed and what does it mean?


For the 18 credits in the BALS Natural Sciences and Math Concentration:

Quote:Students complete 18 credits of Natural Science/Mathematics courses. For TESU course options go to Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

4. I have read here that this has to be in 2 or more NSM categories but it does not state this on the degree page so can all of these be Computer Science or CIS courses?

Thanks

  Apple updates MacBook Air with M4 faster chips, cuts price

Apple updates MacBook Air with M4 faster chips, cuts price

https://www.axios.com/2025/03/05/apple-m...er-cheaper

Buy MacBook Air (Note $100 wink, wink, education discount)

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

One thing I noticed is that the 15" MacBook Air is similar in price to the 13" version $1,199.

Those 13"/14" laptops have too small of a screen for me to use and Apple won't let you buy a 16" MacBook Pro without spending at least $2,499.00.

Best Value Windows Laptop that is similar to MacBook Air???

  • 16GB RAM
  • 1TB PCIE G4 SSD
  • Intel Core Ultra 7-155H processor
  • 15.6 inch 3K OLED 120Hz 100% RGB color gamut, and 500 nits peak brightness
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life
  • 3.31 lbs
$668

Has anyone taken this here, and if so, what feedback do they have? I'm also interested in others that are for credit or CERT based.

  Transferring credits from UOP to Tesu since its now regionally accredited
Posted by: Puremadniss - 03-06-2025, 08:42 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (4)

Since it is now regionally accredited. Do you think this might be a great way to get some RA credits, especially for computer science? I’m thinking of enrolling, taking a semester and seeing if it transfers in. I just need to fill some RA credits for TESU.

  What do you think about Peirce College?
Posted by: RaiponceRapunzel - 03-06-2025, 03:37 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (11)

I found Peirce College through Sophia Learning and they’re a partner school. They seem to be very transfer friendly allowing between 90-102 credit hours of transfer towards certain degrees. Their website, at least to me was transparent about this. I know it’s more expensive compared to other unis, but I think they’re comparable to UMPI or TESU in terms of accepting alternative credits.
