  Masters degree advice for IT (EU based)
Posted by: dafnay - 11-05-2024, 10:44 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Your Location: Poland
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: I have a Masters degree in Law (I did it in France where I lived +20y ears) -
I am working as a IT PM for the past 4,5 years and would like to get more IT/engineering knowledge and get a degree in that field\
Also looking for 100% online and self paced (if possible)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: Many project management certs (PMP, AgilePM, Scrum, Prince2), currently working for network+ and security+, then some Azure Cloud
Budget: My employer is based in the US and maybe might pay for it - otherwise around 10-12k euro
Commitments: I work full time
Dedicated time to study: I can commit 2, 3 hours/workday, 4/5 hours during weekends
Timeline: no more than years - 1 or 1.5 years would be perfect
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: see budget

I am kinda new to those online degrees but heard you can transfert credits ? Dont know how that works.

Also, heard that TESU is quite good and have indeed the Masters of Science in IT I might be interested in. What do you think ? 

I just wonder if I am qualified for it since my current bachelor/masters is in a completely different field (Law).

Heart Be EXCELLENT to each other
Posted by: Charles Fout - 11-05-2024, 12:18 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

I blink my eyes and then it happens again
I lose my way but I discover a friend
It's a typical day on the road to dystopia

I walk along until my feet are sore
I rest a minute then I walk some more
There's no time to delay on the road to dystopia

And my destination is the unknown
But I'm never far away from my home

It shines like laser light - I'm dreaming of a Great Big Red Wave!
INo dreams at night
'cause I'll be up all night
On the road to dystopia

I will be there to share your tragedy - hopefully not mine
I know that you would do the same for me
It's no trouble at all on the road to dystopia

When the vote counting is over I'm gonna get some sleep.

Let us just be EXCELLENT to each other 
I took Liberty with Todd Rundgren's lyrics here

My thought is - Whatever the outcome  of this election we should be civil to each other. Heart Heart

  Frustrated with University of the Cumberlands
Posted by: CollegeStudentAC - 11-04-2024, 02:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

I am asking for a proof of enrollment letter that also states my enrollment date and not just the term as after 13 weeks, I'm able to withdraw from my RESP without limit but the person refuses to provide that. I've only been enrolled in one college prior and that was a private for-profit college and they provided the date (without me even asking) but regardless, I really don't see how my request is unreasonable. I would love some input because I am very frustrated.

Question Path to BSN
Posted by: Anon - 11-03-2024, 03:37 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (5)

Hi All,

Originally, years ago, I was going for a BA with a focus in Mathematics from TESU. Now my long-term goal is to become a Psych-NP, but I'm taking it step by step. Below is a table of the credits I have accumulated so far with the TESU equivalency.

Questions:

  1. Do I need to fully complete a bachelor's degree as a prerequisite for an accelerated BSN program, or can I use the 111 credits I have?
  2. Since I'd like to see if this is the right direction for me, I'd ideally like to start slow:
    • Which courses can I take now (without being admitted to a program) that I can still use for a BSN?
    • Would those courses be transferable to programs like that?
    • Where would be a good place that offers those courses with the necessary labs (online and self-paced preferred)?
    • What is a list of courses that most BSN programs require?
Thanks for taking the time to read!

  Response times and transfer questions
Posted by: Hotdog - 11-03-2024, 02:18 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi does anyone know if credits from sophia are garunteed to transfer? I’ve seen some posts saying study.com doesn’t transfer over or pierpont not accepting some sophia credits. Also i’m a dual enrollment student so if anyone knows if that changes anything please let me know. I’ve also sent an email asking this question a month ago but i still haven’t received anything back. If anyone has any information it would be very helpful.
Note: I haven’t started taking sophia courses yet because i’m unsure if they would transfer but I would like to take these for now:
sophia:
Intro to chem
Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2
human and micro Biology 
English composition 1

  They're killing the dogs, they're killing the cats and squirrels in NY
Posted by: LevelUP - 11-03-2024, 12:29 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Well, maybe not dogs and cats yet, but the government of NY has decided to kill pet squirrels.

"An upstate man whose beloved squirrel was cruelly killed by the state said he was treated like a “terrorist” when 10 government agents descended on his home during a five-hour raid."

It's good to see NY has their priorities right.

  What's the fastest & cheapest online law school degree (JD) in the US?
Posted by: ProspectiveJD - 11-02-2024, 10:08 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (23)

Hey everyone.

I'm working full-time, outside of the US, and want to become a lawyer eventually. The opportunity cost of not working for three years and increasing my cost-of-living by going to the US is just not worth it in my shoes, so I'm looking at online law schools.

I see there are many options, and they're usually either ABA accredited, CalBar accredited, or completely unaccredited (e.g. Novus Law School). I'm interested in EITHER ABA or CalBar schools (completely fine if I can only take the Bar in California).

I learned that CalBar accreditation requires a minimum of 32 months of study, and ABA has even stricter requirements for online degrees (uncertain?), so I suppose that's why I couldn't find any 2-year online JDs, although there are many 2-year in-person JDs.

That said, I want to know what's the fastest & cheapest online law school? I have a 175 LSAT and 4.0 uGPA (BSc from public state university).

Some schools I'm aware of:
- Purdue Global: 2 years, 8 months! 100% online! But over $50,000 and no significant scholarships (I asked). Can start in January!
- Albany Law School: 3 years, 3 months. Online. Only September 2025 start. 1 yearly in-person residency required.
- National University JFK Law: 3 years and $62,000+.
- Vermont Law: 3+ years, residencies required
- Colleges of Law: 3.5 years, residencies

- St Mary's online: 3 years, 8 months
- CSU, 3 years 5 months. 6 residencies needed (!)
- University of New Hampshire: 3 years, 5 months. 14 residencies needed.

- 4 years: South Texas, Abraham Lincoln, Northeastern, St Francis, Touro Online, Dayton, Lincoln Memorial... many others

So far Purdue Global seems like the best bet, but it's still over $50,000. Anything cheaper? Any other hack/method I could sit for a US bar in a quicker/easier way (for example, I know that if you're an attorney anywhere in the world, you can sit for the CalBar - anywhere I can do that for less than 50K/32 months?).

Any thoughts and information is greatly appreciated.


Quick edit: I came across Northwestern California University School of Law. It's only about $15K total, so cost-wise that's fantastic. But it's 4 full years and impossible to accelerate, making it 16 months slower than Purdue. Anything like NWCUSL that's closer to 32 months? At this point I'll happily give $1000 to whoever knows but idk if that'll get this post removed Smile
