Three-Year Bachelor's Degrees Could Become the Standard—If Accreditors Allow It (Reason)

Quote:Last week, Johnson & Wales University (JWU) in Rhode Island announced the launch of the nation's first in-person, three-year bachelor's degree programs. While other institutions already offer three-year bachelor's degrees, these programs are either exclusively online or require 120 credit hours. JWU students will be able to complete a degree in computer science, criminal justice, graphic design, and hospitality management within 90 to 96 credit hours. 

The launch of JWU's program follows a recent wave of support for similar initiatives across the country. In March, the Utah Board of Higher Education authorized state colleges to explore creating three-year bachelor's degrees. That same month, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a law requiring each of the state's public four-year colleges to review their bachelor's degree programs to determine whether they could be completed in three years. [...]

Critics of three-year degrees have raised concerns that these programs will reduce interest in liberal arts courses, which may have personal value for students and faculty but offer little use in the job market. Kenneth Mash, the President of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, told Stateline that he has "visceral disdain for the idea" because of the potential it has in creating a two-tiered system where only wealthy students have the privilege of receiving a well-rounded four-year education.

Hey everyone its me again!

I have 3 courses left at UMPI for finish my bachelors applied science with triple minor.....

I am waiting for my Pierpont BOG AAS to " graduate" which is December 13th

UMPI fall 2 ends December 20th

Does anyone have experience with this? Should I do all the rest of my classes and hope I can get my AAS sent to UMPI to change the BLS to BAS?
Or should I push a class or 2 into spring 1 and wait to get pierpont conferral sent over?

I have already scheduled through peirpont transcript service to have it sent over when ready but I dont want to screw myself over with not getting that BAS properly. 

I hope this makes sense.......

Thanks in advance!

Amazing, sometimes the patients are correct and the physicians dismiss things too early!

Any plan is better than no plan, and right now, there’s no plan to balance the budget.

I just received confirmation from Pierpont that I have satisfied all requirements for the BOG degree for December graduation. Thank you for all the information posted on here that allowed me to get this completed right before the deadline! I could use some advice though, I transferred in about 130 credits and I am eligible for either a business or information technology AOE. I’m leaning toward the IT AOE. I may attempt the UMPI route after and attempt my bachelors and I want to be on the easiest path possible to earn one. Does anyone have any insight if either of these AOEs puts me on an “easier” path than the other to a UMPI bachelors? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I just found out my work will cover 100% of an MBA over at University of Phoenix since this are "partners". How are they these days, I know they took a lot of scrutiny back then. Everyone seems to just spam the word SCAM all over reddit. I was planning an HAU MBA upon graduating and just thought I'd ask about it since It was offered to me.

I searched the previous few pages, and I've seen a little bit on the subject of law schools and admissions, but nothing concrete.

I imagine there would be no issue, but I would like to take more classes than I'm required to in order to get graded credits for LSAC. I have over 100 credits between RA, ACE, etc. that I will be bringing, so I only *need* 30 to graduate, but I'd like to add minors/fluff to get to a good GPA for LSAC (making up for 10 years ago) and get over 60 graded credits to get a good GPA to go with LSAC applications.

Once the requirements are met is the degree automatically conferred? LSAC only counts credits *before* the first bachelor's degree.

Thanks in advance. I've been lurking here since 2020 and should have jumped into this back then... looks like things have gotten more difficult and I've only put off my own progress.

Hi there, 

Can anyone help me to find the equivalent of these TESU courses that I can take elsewhere without sitting through a whole semester? These are the courses I need (besides the 2 tesu required courses) to finish the B.A Lib Studies/HR degree. Im looking for easy, fast and cheap, in that order! haha!

MAN-3310 Human Resources Management 3 credits
MAN-4150 Change Management 3 credits
MAN-3110 Organizational Behavior 3 credits

Your Location: Denmark
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer science or alike
Credits:
Budget: No budget
Commitments: No commitments
Dedicated time to study: Full time, as much as possible
Timeline: done as soon as possible. No longer than 1.5 years.

I have completed the following courses in an unfinished applied math degree:

Calculus for math
Algebra 1
Linear algebra
Discrete math
Numerical analysis
Combinatorial mathematics
Differential equations 1
Mathematical statistics
Algorithms and data structures
Measure theory
Computational statistics
Scientific programming

112,5 ECTS, GPA: 3.5 average.

Right now im considering SNHU india or TESU double major CS/CIS or CS/MATH.
For SNHU im worried about the max transfer credit, as i see mentioned. Will i be able to
transfer 90 credits? Otherwise it will take too long to complete.

Are there any other options for international students? Is metropolis still an option? I
Don't see it mentioned in many other threads.

I plan to study a master in data science afterwards, so there might be another undergraduate
which is more fitting, and where i can get credit for my math/stat courses. Will I even be
able to get credit for completed courses at a university in Denmark?

How do i tackle this? Do i just pick a sample degree plan from the wiki and go study?
I'm overwhelmed by information and unsure which questions to ask
