I've been working on a BAS with a double minor in PM and MIS for a while now. I am 4 classes away from finishing all my requirements and I have an AAS with an aoe in mis from Pierpont. However when I looked at the program options for this year I found new programs that weren't available before one being a BBA in PM MIS. Does anybody know about this option? Is it better than pursuing the BAS with the those minors?

Hi all,

Finishing up my Sophia courses and I'm looking to apply to TESU before starting Study.com courses.

I just had a few queries surrounding my application and eligibility on credits:

• What's the process of transferring credits from Sophia to TESU?
  
• Does taking a TECEP exam count as an "enrolled" student?
  
• Do I have a time limit on when I have to transfer all my credits?
  

Almost finished my Sophia credits and now moving to Study.com next month.

I remember seeing a strategy on utilizing Study.com where you pay for the basic membership without the proctored exam, and once finished, you switch to the college-credit membership and take the exam. Supposedly you get refunded for the remaining part of the basic membership that you didn't use? Does anyone have any experience with this? 

If the above is correct, would it be advisable to first do all the quizzes and obtain the knowledge, and then take the proctored exams when you're ready? (I'm aware of the 2 free proctored exams rule)

Thanks!

Sophia keeps coming out with new classes. The next one on ACENET is Public and Community Health.

Level Credits (SH) Subject
Lower-Division Baccalaureate 3 Introduction to Public Health

Objective:
The course objective is to provide students with the foundational aspects of public health, from its historical roots to its contemporary challenges and profound importance in the 21st century. Students unravel the core functions and essential services of public health and examine the complex factors that influence health outcomes, especially within vulnerable and marginalized populations. Through the introduction to epidemiology and the role of data, students gain insights into how data and information shape public health decisions and interventions. Students delve into the broader scope of national and global health, exploring issues of health equity and the global challenges facing populations. Students navigate the intricate landscape of U.S. and global health care systems, understanding their financing, evolving services, and strengths and weaknesses. While students explore community health, they learn strategies for promoting well-being and healthy behaviors, the art of community organizing, communicating and marketing health, and evaluating program effectiveness. Finally, students confront the intersections of policy, law, and ethics, addressing their powerful implications for public health initiatives and the future of our communities in the face of emerging challenges such as global warming and public health emergencies.

I know I have to take 10 courses at UMPI, with what I have in the attachment so far, is it a realistic goal to do all this in one term and graduate in May? I plan to go for the BABA in Management and Leadership. This will be paid for by the military, but I am trying to rush to be done with my degree before I apply for Officer Training School this summer.

First my quick review on University of the People

Pros:

• It checks the Associates and Bachelor's degree box for me
  
• Got two degrees in 3 years
  
• I graduated without any debt
  
• "Most" recruiters and headhunters won't care
  
• Its connection with Sophia was a game changer for finishing
  

• The support from advisors is minimal and sporadic
  
• Peer review is the horror you heard it to be
  
• (and this is a "me" problem) I am almost ashamed to tell anyone that I got a degree from there & won't put it on my LinkedIN 
  
• I wanted to be proud of this moment and I'm not (again, a me problem)
  
• The quality of education I got seemed a bit subpar and I "did" the work and have a 3.6 GPA. Sub par in that the materials and information were extremely dated and with the speed in which information and business shifts, so much of what they had us studying was obsolete. 
  
• There is NO school spirit (merch or otherwise--I asked, and asked about a total rebrand)
  

Hi, folks.

Not sure if this is the right category. Feel free to move it if not.

Curious if anyone has insight on any way to transfer credits from Intercoast College (ACCET-accredited) to TESU, UMPI (or, for that matter, Excelsior).  I have a friend who works as a drug/alcohol counselor and got a certificate (and maybe part of an associates) from Intercoast.

I'm guessing it's a no, but I'm wondering if there might be a way to credit-wash to get her some credits for the work she's done.  I know that students at DLCAS.com have successfully transferred credits (or credit equivalencies) to a couple of regionally accredited schools, and I don't think that place has any accreditation at all.

It isn't the end of the world if she can't, but if she can... it will give her a leg up on completing a bachelor's degree.

Any input appreciated.

They seem to bill themselves as serious and to be taken seriously by their alums, but I keep seeing posts in various places stating that they are not accredited and/or have a degree mill reputation. 

What's the story on this outfit accreditation-wise?

I used a lot of the resources you get when you google, U.S goverment clep reddit. Adam norris was by far the most helpful, same with the quizlets, Im not sure why everyone hyped up modern states so much because I didnt really click with it at all. Im sure its useful for the voucher though but I didnt wanna go through with all that work. Know about PACS, Pluralism, Political behavior through demographics and there history, basic history on the documents, know why they were written, enlightenment john locke stuff, you need a strong foundation and youll be good. I also used lots of chat gpt, if you have hyper specific questions, its very good for learning in accessory. 

 I am so estatic i passed, I was so scared. 2 more to get into my dream college.  I am a little seasick thinking about the accounting and biology exam I have to complete next...    

You can do this! 



The test was easier then I thought, the difficulty is in the wording of the questions. I studied so much I knew top to bottom and they made the most basic terms I knew easily, very confusing. I tried to just breathe through them and imagine i was doing a practice exam. 


copyin' and pasting from reddit. I did all these religiously for about a week.  

• CLEP Study Guide Quizlet - this was good and included some of the Modern States questions so it was a good refresher. Link: https://quizlet.com/687372274/american-government-clep-2022-study-guide-questions-flash-cards/
  
  
• Terms Quizlet - this one had some good terms that came up on the test. Link: https://quizlet.com/2091670/american-government-clep-flash-cards/
  
  
• Overall Quizlet - this one was also good and had information from a bunch of different places compiled like it had the different Articles, some important cases, the thinkers, etc. Link: https://quizlet.com/89064488/clep-american-government-practice-test-flash-cards/
  
  
• Court Case Quizlet - this summed up the important court cases very well. Most of them didn't appear on the CLEP exam (and some random, lesser-known ones did) but it's still good to know nonetheless. Link: https://quizlet.com/27546487/major-court-cases-american-government-clep-flash-cards/
  
  
• Amendments Quizlet - this was good to fill in any blanks you may have in amendment knowledge. It's short and to the point which is useful. If you're really struggling with amendments, try to use the Matching Game feature of Quizlet until you've mastered most. It's definitely not necessary to know all amendments to pass though.
