I'm finally looking at UMPI and seeing how there system is different than the other options in this space. 

They have a generic Gen Ed curriculum with 5 categories of learning, and several "objectives" each. 

At the beginning of the list, I was thinking each course listed was required. As I progressed 1/3 down the list, I realized that was way too many classes. The little blurb at the top of the page doesn't explain this. So here's my question:

In each objective, just one of the listed courses is required?

(And that includes the consideration that somes courses can pull double-duty and fill requirements for two objectives.)

Good afternoon, i wanted to check if it’s possible to have two accounts with SDC. I’ve reviewed the policy but I am seeking clarification as I’m trying to take advantage of the 30% off deal again. My current account no longer has an active membership, so I wouldn’t be using both accounts simultaneously. I recall seeing a post about this topic but couldn’t locate it through the search. Could someone please confirm or provide guidance on this?

Just checking to see if anyone is building any degree transfer lists for University of New Hampshire CPS?

I’m transferring accounting credits from WGU to either TESU or Excelsior. I have 118 accounting credits from WGU - so ideally I’d like to choose the school that lets me transfer in the up to the maximum.
Does anyone have any experience with the accounting degrees at Excelsior and TESU? I see TESU has the BSBA and BS in accounting and Excelsior has a BSBA. Between these three degrees which one is the most transfer friendly? Thanks!

Your Location: NYC
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: CS or Software Engineering
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Unsure. I had about 130 credits when I completed my BA.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: CompTIA A+ and Net+
Budget: $150,000 (for BS + MS)
Commitments: Work > 45 hrs/week
Dedicated time to study: 15-20 hrs/week
Timeline: 5 years
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: 90%

Update: In addition to the basic template above... It may be a good idea to expand the information you provide us to include the following, this will provide some insight into your particular situation.  We can either recommend the alternative test-out options COSC, EC (soon to be EU), TESU or competency based education providers such as PUG, UMG (UMASS Global - formerly Brandman), UMPI, WGU or another institution.

Budget: I don't want to spend more than $15k of my own money, but I can be flexible. Work will pay 90% so my total budget for program costs is $150k
Commitments: I work full time, that's it. I spend time studying/learning regularly already. Not planning on getting into any other serious long term time commitments any time soon.
Dedicated time to study: I'm estimating 2 hours per week day and at least 4-6 on Sat/Sun.
Timeline: Not the most important factor to me. I just want to learn the material well. If I have a BS and MS within 5 years I'd be happy. Less would be nice but not necessary.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: 90%.

ADDENDUM:

I have a non-CS/technical BA from Rutgers. However, my GPA sucked (2.5 I think)--I was having a very hard time in my life. Things are different now (I think I can succeed in an academic program), and I want to get at least a BS in CompSci. If possible and I find one that fits, I'd also like to progress to an MS program. Willing to start with an Associate Degree if it would be better. My bachelor's GPA is low enough that I pretty much feel like starting over with an AS is my best option.

My main struggle with this online degree idea is that a lot of people blast through Study.com courses and say the material isn't that great. While I program at work, I'm not a software engineer, so I can't claim experience has taught me things that some online courses may not. I'm willing to sacrifice speed and money for better courses. Any recommendations with that in mind? Or should I just accept the courses as they are and look to supplement with (even more) outside sources (e.g., teachyourselfcs.com)?

Thanks for any help, lmk if any more info would be good to include.

I made a rather unfortunate mistake of not withdrawing from a class on time.

It was a 1 credit physics lab for which i did not have the physics class done.  I had too many issues at home and work, and missed the date.  I had intended to do physics through study.com and did not start either the class or the lab.  This screws an otherwise 4.0 gpa.  

Has anyone had any luck asking for forgiveness on a late withdrawal and getting it removed.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Bradley University is launching an online BS in Civil Engineering and an online BS in Electrical Engineering in Fall 2025, both accredited by the ABET EAC. Tuition is 650 per semester hour plus 50 per semester hour for courses taught under the direction of the College of Engineering and Technology, with a 250 per semester technology fee. They do state "Bradley University's engineering programs enthusiastically welcome transfer students."

Average income after graduation looks like 33k as per google. Whereas Excelsior is 54k. I wonder why? I’m deciding where I’m going to go right now.

I need help designing a Bachelor's Degree plan for either a Construction Management or Civil Engineering BS degree. I have about 1.5 years of RA traditional college experience at Youngstown State University. I took a break from the traditional college student role and I have been working in the Construction field primarily as a carpenter. I would like to be a Construction Project Manager or Superintendent and eventually have my own company.  I tried to give the requested information in the template that I have other seen people post in other threads below. I have to work full time and do not want to take out any loans for my degree program so I am pretty price sensitive as I am paying for it (no tuition reimbursement). I would like to pursue a program that is online and has shorter courses than the traditional 15 week semester (like classes every 7-8 weeks or every month). Additionally, I would like to do a program that allows me to satisfy my general education classes quickly and cheaply like Study.com, Sophia, or Straighterline. It looks like the hard lab science classes are offered at either Sophia.org (Chemistry and Biology) and Physics with a Lab is offered at Luna Community College in New Mexico.

Since I am price sensitive, I am trying to keep my budget under $20k ($25k at most)

Total: 25 (without D grade in History)

I found the list (below) of online BS Construction Management programs that were somewhat lower priced. The issue is from a cost perspective, although the Gen Ed and LL and UL Business Management courses can be satisfied with Sophia and Study.com, the Construction/Engineering courses must be taken at the University I would attend and they account for about 30-50 credit hours so that the cost is significantly higher than say a BSBA at UMPI. The least expensive per credit hour price I was able to find for the Construction Management BS degree is Arkansas at $282 per credit hour.  According to the Arkansas State University website, they allow up to 90 credit hours, but, I do not see this school specifically listing acceptance of Sophia, Study.com, or Straighterline credits so I will need to contact them and the other schools listed below to see if they accept SDC and Sophia credits.

Another factor that I am trying to consider in addition to the lowest credit hour price is which school has generous policies on non-traditional credit (i.e. Sophia, Study.com) and which school will have a shorter term period (i.e. National) like 4-8 weeks so I can get the degree quicker.

Potential list of least expensive BS Construction Mgmt/Civil Engineering online degree programs 

Arkansas State University
Thomas Edison State University
National University
Louisiana State University
University of Southern Mississippi
Alfred State College of Technology (part of SUNY system) requires Associates, finish 60 credits at Alfred, would look at taking other courses cheaply from Sophia, SDC, or Pierpont nearly free Associates degree
Purdue Global (Certificate with Construction Mgmt can be paired with Proj. Mgmt major)
CSU Global (Certificate with Construction Mgmt can be paired with Proj. Mgmt major)
Liberty University (BS in Civil Engineering)
Indiana State University
University of Minnesota, Moorhead

Any additional suggestions on Constr. Mgmt or Civil Engin. BS programs are appreciated. I am also wondering if someone can recommend an Excel template to start building my Gen Ed classes, elective, and core major courses.

Thanks,
