West Virginia University School of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) is offering free tuition (4 years) for qualified WV Residents! 

1. Must be an incoming first year WV resident to WVSOM 

2. Science GPA 3.7+ 

3. MCAT and BBFL in the 60th percentile or higher

Just wanted to clarify: UMPI only has a 1-time residency requirement (30 credits) that you must complete with them (UMPI). After that, you can transfer the remaining amount of credits/courses towards the next degree. You would just have to pay the cost of tuition for that semester and have all credits needed transferred within that semester. Essentially, if you complete a Bachelor's at UMPI (you should be transferring in the maximum 90 credits anyway and knocking out 30 credits there) through YourPace, you simply transfer the remaining courses/credits needed for the next degree you wish to pursue. That means if you only need to do 2 courses to complete the degree plan for the next degree you wish to pursue there, then you only need to transfer/complete 2 courses for that degree plan. If it's 4 courses, you can transfer in the 4 courses.

Hi,

I am seeking general advice as well as recommendations for programs in teaching or education that align with my background and goals.

My primary goal is to work in higher education as a researcher, professor, or instructor. Alternatively, I would be interested in administrative roles related to education. I hold a PhD in mathematics and have two years of experience as a temporary instructor/professor. During this time, I taught various courses in engineering and computer science programs. Unfortunately, this experience has not been sufficient to secure even a temporary teaching position for 2025. Despite applying for numerous positions across Europe, I have not had any success.

Currently, I am working at a large engineering firm, but I find it unfulfilling and am actively looking for alternatives. I feel quite discouraged and would appreciate guidance on further education and potential career paths.

Teaching is something I am deeply passionate about, and I would love to contribute to curriculum design or similar areas. While I am not interested in becoming a licensed K-12 teacher—due to the requirement for student teaching, which doesn't fit my schedule—I am open to studying K-12 education from an academic perspective.

Could you suggest programs in areas such as educational theory, educational sociology, instructional design, curriculum studies, or similar fields that might suit my needs?

Here are my specific requirements for such programs:

1. They should be close to 100% asynchronous, with exams that are flexible or held on weekends.
   
2. Preferably self-paced, with minimal or no group work.
   
3. Total cost should not exceed 10,000 EUR.
   
4. No student teaching or requirements to have access to a classroom.
   

Basically what the title says. I'm a US citizen from the day I was born who speaks native level English. I wanted to know if anyone else has done this before and if it works, would the credits count as free electives or humanities? I plan on going to UMPI online for one of their BLS degrees.

Hi Everyone,

I apologies, this is my first time making a thread and actually talking on this website. I'm doing Dual Degree BA CS & BS CIS from Thomas Edison State University. I plan on doing Masters in Computer Science in Germany.

My questions are:
1) Will my Bachelor of Computer Science be accepted in Germany for Masters?
2) As I'm transferring credits from Sophia and Study.com , will that be a problem for the German universities to see most of my credits being transferred to my degree?
3) I see usually German Universities have specific requirements to have number of credits in specific courses to be eligible for Masters in Computer Science. As I'm doing Dual Degree program with plan, should I drop BS CIS and focus on BA CS and take more mathematics, theoretical computer and software engineering related courses to meet requirements for the degrees.

I don't have any specific German University in mind but I'd like to study my Masters of Computer Science in English. Some university I checked are Hasso Plattner-Institut, Technical University of Berlin but honestly I'm open to any as long as its free for international students and the language used is English.

Thank you in advance, and sorry if I'm doing anything wrong as its my first time making a thread.
Cheers!

This forum has helped me get a plan together to complete my degree, which I frankly thought I was not going to do after all this time. But seeing the results from many on here, as well as some of my former co-workers who have obtained advanced degrees via a different path as well, I am inspired and so here I am!

I put this initial plan together after researching this site, reddit and various college programs.

Location: Metro Detroit, Michigan

Age: 60
 
Degree sought: Not yet determined. Possibly UMPI’s YourPace Business Management and Leadership, B.A. However, I am still exploring the other available options. It appears that this might be the most expeditious route by taking Sophia courses before enrollment.
 
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Henry Ford College (Listed below are the UMPI course #’s that correspond with the Henry Ford College courses that I previously completed, after reviewing Mainestreet’s website).
ENG 101
PSY 100
PSY 100
SOC 100
MAT 1XX
BIO 1XX
PSY 1XX
ANT 100
 
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience?: Former law enforcement officer.

Budget: Unlimited, but looking to be economically efficient in this endeavor.

Commitments: Part-time work

Dedicated time to study: 2-5 hours a day, five days a week or more. I expect to dedicate at least 20-30 hours a week. There will be a few weeks mixed in where I would have less time available due to work/travel commitments.

Timeline: One year to 1.5 years.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Current Plan: To complete the GEC course work requirements via Sophia then move on to the required coursework for the yet to be determined degree.
 
GEC Courses Planned via Sophia
Workplace Writing II (started 1/6/25)
Organizational Communication
College Composition II
Introduction to Ethics
US History I
Spanish I
American Government
Art 103 or Photography (Art 251)
Art History II
 
Preferences: I prefer to test out as opposed to having many assignments and assessments.

Thanks in advance for any input/feedback.

Hello All,

Happy New Year.

For anyone interested, Queens College of Theology is now offering a masters degree in Christian Counseling(counseling in ministry). The cost is $50 a month with no other fees. The course can take 12-24 months to complete, however, only 30 students are being admitted each term.

I would’ve been interested in this, but I already started a PHD in Christian Counseling elsewhere. Still not bad for the price.

I just found out about this convention but as I understand it, academic qualifications from the US/Canada/UK should automatically be recognized in EU countries if they are official.

In my case this is particularly interesting since Germany's anabin database lists UoPeople as an institution without accreditation. However, the university is accredited in the US and legally, NA and RA are equal. The fact that I can get an apostille on the degree verifies the situation that it is an accredited degree as well.

It seems like anabin's evaluation is not in line with the Lisbon convention which both Germany and the US signed. So, could I use this as a legal ground for not accepting an unsuccessful degree evaluation in Germany? Because that's what it seems like to me
