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

What's the fastest & cheapest online law school degree (JD) in the US? |

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

TESU does not accept IELTS? |

Now i ran into the next problem.
After successfully taking the IELTS online Academic exam, i discovered that TESU does not accept the results if I send them. But TESU is not listed in the organisations, which accept IELTS (appearantly TESU is not one of the 12500 organisation that do). I have reached out to IELTS and TESU. Ielts said that TESU needs to register on their website((https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/iel...UuMTIuMC4w)) in order to send them my results, and TESU made it clear that i am responsible for IELTS sending it directly to the admission.
Given this situation, I feel that I have taken the exam (which cost 420 USD) in vain now and I guess my only way to enroll now is to get 9 credits at another english speaking university.
Has anyone had problems with this before?

University of the Cumberlands ACTFL |

So before taking my ACTFL test, I went through like all the ACTFL threads on this forum and I found out that the consensus was that schools probably wouldn't accept an ACTFL test for English.
Turns out that University of the Cumberlands only accept the English ACTFL:
Quote:Hello Arshveer,
We received your speaking proficiency today; however, we wouldn’t be able to accept it as the Credly Achievement was for a test of Punjabi proficiency, and we only consider tests of English proficiency for credit equivalency.
I have responded asking which type of ACTFL tests they accept and where they transfer into. Since they only accept English, I'm guessing it transfers into English which is weird as I feel that would be remedial.

Recent Study.com Promo Offer - 4 classes/month, 30% off for 3 months |

Since there's a sticky for Sophia.org, thought it would be best to have a sticky for Study.com as well... Especially when they came out with a deal for Halloween 2024. It's the same deal as previously, but with a treat or trick (depending on how you do things). Save 30% for your first 3 months, but instead of two exams per month, they've bumped that to four exams! You're getting 30% plus, four courses instead of two courses until November 25...
I think this may be their best deal yet! Here's a snippet of the info they sent me by email on Halloween: Earn college credit faster than ever. For the next month (through November 25th), you can now transfer up to 4 college courses with your Study.com College Saver plan AND save 30% for your first 3 months. Save over $200/month on college credit -- complete 4 courses for one low price of $165.
That got me thinking, the previous one month deal for $75 might be the cheapest for 6 credits, but when you add a third and fourth class exam, the pricing changes. Here's my example above, $75 first month for two classes plus $140 for two extra classes, total $215... With this deal, it's cheaper for the same four within the month for $165. You also get the option of doing the same thing the next month, and a final third month if needed.
If you are doing a double major for TESU, getting upper level credit for UMPI, or needing more than the usual credits for transfer from Study.com, this would be their best deal yet, you can get a max of 12 classes in total for this discount. All extra classes are an extra $70/class... For a promo link to get in on this deal, it's in my bio and signature...
