Hello,

I am graduating from Pierpont in December with an AAS BOG degree. The degree will have an aoe of Information Systems, but I don't see anywhere in my records that indicates that the aoe is actually applied to my degree. Where would I see this?

Thanks, Duane.

I'm trying to decide on which doctorate to get where, or even to get a doctorate at all.

Current location: Washington state, USA.

Citizenship: Sweden, USA and (soon to be) Italy.

Age: Almost 33.

Budget: As cheap as possible.

Needs: A degree that is recognized in Europe, the US and Japan. I don't care about prestige. I prefer self-paced when possible but it's not a requirement. If not in my timezone then it needs to have recorded lectures or something, I can't pass classes when sessions are at 2am my time.

Commitments: I have no spouse, no kids, no pets, no house, no debts, nothing really.

Time to study: Unsure where I'll be at during the point when I can start a PhD.

Motivation: I'm visually impaired and depending on where I live also an immigrant using second language skills, thus potential employers don't see me as very valuable. Due to this struggle I was unemployed for all of my 20's and I regularly continue to have employment issues in my 30's as I only seem to get the bottom of the barrel jobs (and I'm not talking only about salary). I want better credentials to help secure decent employment.

Location: Online is my normal, but in person is ok if I can afford moving/living there. If I have to move to a physical campus, note that I can't get a driver's license so there needs to be good public transport. Also as I'm close to blind I make a good target, it needs to be a location with low crime. I prefer the countryside to the city.

Interests: My dream job would be to get handed a minority language with sentence translations and told to analyze it to write a grammar book and create a dictionary. Or to help create worksheets, books and so on in minority languages. Or to do something like design a regularized constructed language to be used as intercommunication. I enjoy teaching and translating languages however the range of that is limited as most people want native speakers and AI is quickly taking over that career field. 

I love Japanese but degrees in Japanese are worthless nowadays and don't lead to any career. You have a few prospects as a native speaker but not as a non-native.

I would be interested in doing something like creating products for disabled people (stuff I wish I had) or learning programming in order to code stuff for disabled people (stuff like Chrome browser extensions, edits to Windows or modifications to Steam videogames) but I feel that's probably not within the scope of a PhD.

I'm also interested in starting my own business, I have a few ideas, one being running a hostel that incorporates language stuff. But I feel that is also not within the scope of a PhD.

I also have the hobby of genealogy. Similar to language analysis this is another "research tons of stuff and analyze it to see what fits" sort of hobby.

Languages I can read at C1 level: English (native), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Faroese, Japanese, Esperanto.

Languages I could probably learn pretty fast (within 1-3 years) to C1 level, to meet college entry requirements: Yiddish, German, Dutch, Italian, Korean, Turkish.

Work Experience: Language teaching, hotel work, article writing, ebook creation, AI output editing/reviewing.

Finished Education:
Certificate - 120 hour TEFL
Certificate - C1 (JLPT N1) in Japanese
Benchmark - SAS 3 (C1 level) Swedish courses completed
State Exams - Praxis Core (West-B), NES 102 & 103 passed
Trade school - Hospitality
Trade school - Bartending
Associate's - Integrated Studies
Bachelor's - Japanese Language
ENEB Bachelor's / Master's - MBA, Project Management, Hotel & Tourism

Education in Progress:
WGU Master's - Elementary Education for US licensure

Timeline: Will graduate from WGU by summer 2025. Due to legal requirements regarding my WGU scholarship I will probably have to stick around for 6 to 12 months before I can physically move elsewhere. After that I should probably jump into a PhD right away since I won't be getting any younger.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: My workplace doesn't do that.

Hello, I am new here, and I have learned that there is a limit of 90 credits for alternative credits.
Regarding BACS, is it possible to earn this many credits from alternative credit sources such as Study.com or Sophia?
Currently, I have more than 40 credits, but at WGU, we could get these 61 from such sources. Is it possible to earn more credits from these types of sources with TSEU?
Thank you!

FT working busy Mom who has alot of transfer credits and just wants to finish my Bachelors so I can qualify for a leadership role at work. Any Bachelors will do! Just want the easiest one that takes the most credits. Anyone know?

Hi recently I decided to join Air Forces as an officer but they require a bachelor degree which I don't have. I will be putting the work in and get my degree as soon as possible. I was searching all the schools and programs to find the best fit for me thinking I should get a viable degree so I can use it in real world. Since I decided to join to be pilot this has changed and I think UMPI's BLS degrees would be the best fit for me since they are more flexible about free electives. ( if i am wrong if there is any way faster please let me know)

After I decided I wanted to set a plan for myself continue with it. I was confused with general ed courses and found this forum.  Lots of tips helped me for example taking english composition 1&2 at UMPI.

I still am confused what to do so I wanted to ask you guys to help me to create a degree plan.



Your Location: New York
Your Age: 23
What kind of degree do you want?: It does not matter , Air Force does not require any specific degree just a bachelor.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget:I want to make it as cheap as possible but if I am gonna get it done faster I am willing to pay more.
Commitments:Just a part time job other than that no commitments.
Dedicated time to study: As much as possible. Studying is no problem for me , when I was in Turkey I studied 7 months straight in a small room didn't even go out once.
Timeline:I will be eligible to join the Air Forces in 3-7 months so I would love to finish as soon as possible and be done with it.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement:no

Background : I have been to college in Turkey. Studied Mining engineering, petroleum engineering and chemical engineering. Bu I only have few credits I have attached them. I am good at science and business so I can take classes according to that.

Past credits :
MATH 141( calculus 1 )            AA ,        4 credits
PHYS 101(general physics 1).   BB,         4 credits ( 4 credits bc it also covers physics lab)
ENG 101 (eng comp)               AA ,        3 credits
CHEM121 ( general chem 1).    BB,         3 credits 
CHE101(intro to chem eng).     AA,         2 credits.
CHEM 141 ( gen. chem. lab. 1) CB ,        1 credits.


                                        gpa 3.5    total credits 17

Does anyone know if UMPI refunds the negative financial aid back to the student or does it just disappear?

This is regarding Pell Grant

Thanks!

President Trump is President-Elect!

Peace and love towards my colleagues here.


I loved President Trump's victory speech. It was so Full of hope and healing.
My favorite part was when he turned the floor over to Dana White.
Dana gave a big shout out to Joe Rogan.

Now my moment of schadenfreude: 

To the Totalitarian mob at Degreeinfo - I should just pray for you.
I'm not ready for that yet. Instead I'll thumb my nose at you and laugh out loud.
You reveal yourselves  in  your collective Trump Derangement Syndrome

I haven't personally done it: https://phtc-online.org/learning/cert-pr...rtProgId=1
