Welp just finished, my last class during the summer. Finally got my Bachelors of Applied Science, Project Management. :') So just a quick thanks for everyone here. Ever since I found out about this website, I've gained a lot of motivation to finish school.
CLEP played a huge role, I ended up taking 33 credits worth of CLEP which saved me 2 semester of tuition. Now to finish up Newlane University for my 2nd Bachelors and start a masters program, which I am really considering HAU since the degree cost is so cheap or Amberton since they have the ACBSP accredition
Satisfied: Admittance into the Bachelor of Applied Science in Project Management requires a minimum of an associate degree from a regionally accredited institution.
Students must complete the minimum degree requirement to earn an Associate Degree or Certificate.
Students earning two degrees subsequently or simultaneously must complete 15 semester units in residence for the first degree and have a minimum of 75 semester units, 30 of which were earned in residence at CSN. A course can only be used once to fulfill each certificate or degree requirements.
Please see the Graduation Requirement section of the Catalog for more information.
Is there a suggested Associates degree for someone who just needs an accredited Associates degree? I have a ton of tech credits, and an almost complete BS degree. I guess I am looking for something like a General Studies Associates degree. I'm currently in Study.com, so I could pick up some courses before applying for the Associates. I vaguely remember there was an Associates degree from somewhere where you could transfer in all the credits, and immediately get the AS degree. It was "George Washington University" or something, might have been in Pennsylvania. I remember you could bascially get an instant Associates if you transferred in all the required credits.

Hi everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I’m in the process of mapping out my BSBA in Operations Management at TESU and would really appreciate your input. My goal is to keep things as quick and easy as possible, with minimal touchstone projects on Sophia.org and 100% multiple-choice TECEP exams where I can.
A PDF of the degree plan is attached.
Do these TECEP picks look optimal for the RA block, or are there even easier ones I’m missing?
Anything better/easier suggestions I should swap out?
What would make the most sense in terms of enrolling? Bang out the Sophia.org/study.com courses, then enroll and take the TECEPS? I don't know if time will allow me to take the final cornerstone/capstone classes in a single semester.
Fulfill 30 RA Credits
I plan to knock out all 30 RA credits via 8 TECEP exams (3 cr each) plus the TESU Info Literacy Cornerstone (SOS-1100) and Business Capstone (BUS-4210). Here are the TECEPs I’ve picked based on feedback on this site:
COM-2090-TE (Public Speaking)
STA-2010-TE (Principles of Statistics)
MAT-1050-TE (Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics)
ETH-2100-TE (Environmental Ethics)
PHI-1300-TE (Critical Reasoning)
HIS-1260-TE (World History, 1600–Present)
EAS-1311-TE (Meteorology)
CIS-1070-TE (Computer Concepts & Applications)
Plus SOS-1100 (Information Literacy) and BUS-4210 (Capstone)
I have a meeting to speak with Ben Blair, the founder of Newlane University, in the coming weeks. Some background on myself, a BS in Legal Studies from UMGC & Graduate student @ Johns Hopkins, I am utilizing Newlane to study philosophy for mostly enjoyment, but also to better round myself out.
With all that being said, does anyone have questions for the founder of the school? I am willing to ask them during our meeting. Additionally, I am willing to answer any questions you may have for a current student of Newlane as well.
I've got a complete CCAF degree in Strategic Operations Management. I applied to TESU hoping that most of the credits would transfer to a BSBA in finance via general education credits. Today i found out that they are accepting 0 of my general education requirements and only fulfilling 15 TOTAL credits towards electives. Have any of you ran into issues with this?
For those of us interested in an engineering program, TU Dresden offers two bachelors in engineering entirely through distance learning. Caveat is the language of instruction is German. Cost is excellent though, about 100 Euros.
"TU Dresden has a strong tradition in offering engineering correspondence courses. Distance learning is an efficient way to combine work and studies. Learning and the deepening of knowledge are realised by way of guided self-study and excellent learning material."
Just realized I posted this in graduate schools, not sure how to move the thread though
So I'm messaging my Enrollment advisor, and he's saying I need these classes for my degree. Is everything Sophia business degree related for Sophia solely elective now or would any of these classes I'd be able to transfer as required classes? I'm hoping at least Sophia Bus321-> Umpi Bus343, Sophia Bus330-> Umpi Bus222, Sophia Bus353-> Umpi Bus336 are still applicable and not electives, so I can take them at Sophia and not Umpi, and maybeee Sophia Bus260-> Umpi Bus260 as well. Any insight on these? Thanks!

Free bundle of 5 courses from top Spanish university, Universitat de Barcelona on "Deep Tech Brain: Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroimaging, and Neuromodulation".
5 * 3 ECTS, however last course is not online. Very low entry barrier.
Does anyone know of an accredited (NA or RA) certificate or graduate certificate in Healthcare Administration for relatively cheap. I have a friend who is looking to pivot to management, but has a degree in an unrelated subject.
She is NOT looking for a full up MHA or MBA-health.
Her soft ceiling for cost is 5,000 but she will go up to 7,500 if a program comes with any management credentials or licenses.
If she can't find anything cheap, she will probably just do the HAU MBA.
