I just graduated from WGU with a BS, but I'm considering a return in the next year or so for their MBA in IT management. There are only three courses in that degree that can be satisfied via transfer credit, so I'm wondering...
Does anyone know of any free/cheap graduate-level credit courses that might transfer in for...
- organizational behavior leadership
- business ethics (or ethical leadership)
- project management
I figure the answer is "no" for all of these, but I've been looking and thought I'd ask. (My best hope was ASU Thunderbird's free program, but it doesn't look like any of those will do.)

Hey y'all, was wondering if any of you can help me chart an efficient plan to obtain an computer science bachelors. I was looking at WGU initially but I've been curious about other institutions like TESU and possibly UMPI later this year?
Your Location: New York City
Your Age: 32
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors in Computer Science.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: 0
Budget: Ideally as cheap as possible, but open to other more expensive options if they provide a better path
Commitments: Single, no kids, work 8-3 weekdays only
Dedicated time to study: 4-5 hours on weekdays, unlimited on weekends
Timeline: 1-1.5 years, if it can be achieved faster that would be nice!
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None at the moment, will be applying for FAFSA
Let me know if you need/or if I'm missing any important information about myself. Thank you in advance!

I have been investigating M.Ed. programs. My requirements are (1) RA (2) no required student teaching to graduate; (3) 100% asyncronous. Beyond these requirements I am mainly concerned about cost. If possible, I would prefer a self-paced program. Now that UoPeople is RA, is there any reason to go elsewhere? What do you think?

Hi all!
New to the forum. I've been reading posts - lots of great info and support here! Thank you!!
Backstory: I earned a BA in Communications from TESU in 2008. Took me 18 months using CLEP/DSST/TECEP and TESU courses. Great experience.
Fast forward to 2025. I have a highly motivated 15yo that's interested in the finance world. The kid loves numbers - he sets his alarm for 5am so he can study. We homeschool. He's nearly completed his high school requirements. I'm looking for options to challenge him and give him a head start on college.
Long-term we're looking at TESU's BSBA in Finance degree once he turns 18. Definitely open to other options.
CLEPS: this is what I know best from personal experience. Also going to look into Sophia courses.
The RA requirement is new since I was a student and is a little confusing to me...how do I know if a course is RA or not?
Does anyone know how Dual Enrollment works as a homeschooler? We live in MI. Are there affordable online options for this?
Any other tips/advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

| What degree to pursue? |

Hi all,
Having trouble deciding what degree to pursue next. I enjoy studying how people learn and are motivated in the workplace so want to stick to something that ties into that. Currently working at a brokerage firm and have a MBA and about to finish a BA in I/O Psychology, but am wanting to pursue the degree mostly for personal satisfaction. With that I am thinking business, psychology, or education all could be tied into what I like.
I can't justify taking a mortgage sized pay cut and my licenses lapsing so I am limited to programs that will let me continue to work full time. DBA programs seem to be the friendliest to outside work, but I do not have a lot of management experience yet so not the most competitive candidate. Is a DBA probably the best option to pursue or would one of the few PhDs that allows me to work make more sense?
