  Free Spanish language college degrees UNAM SUAYED
Posted by: Avidreader - 10-10-2024, 04:44 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (6)

I am sharing yet another post featuring a Mexican public university offering online college degrees. The UNAM is a highly prestigious university that is famous for its practically free in person degrees (students only pay 1 penny as a symbolic payment).
Their online university has been operating for quite a few years and has increased popularity after expanding their degree offerings. Unlike the other schools, this one is 100% free (at least for Mexican citizens).
The cons however are that tons of people try to sign up (slots are limited), sign ups are only once a year, you cannot accelerate the degrees at all and people have complained that their Comp Science degree has some outdated information and the workload and essays absorb huge amounts of time, which makes it a difficult option for people working full time. People have also mentioned there are obligatory synchronized classes in varying schedules.

Some degrees are offered on specific regional branches. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more info because some degrees demand students to physically travel to the school's branch for exams. I am not sure if they do proctored online exams, might have to ask around.

Bachelor degrees:

Administration of documents (archieving degree?)
Accounting
Library technology and information studies
Communications (Journalism focus)
Political Science (Administrative focus)
Political Science (Politics focus)
Business administration
Law
Graphics design
Economy
Nursing (I assume part of the degree forcibly requires rotations in mexican hospitals)
Teaching German as a foreign language
Teaching French as a foreign langage
Teaching Spanish as a foreign language
Teaching English as a foreign language
Teaching Italian as a foreign language
Education
Psychology
Internaional Relations
Sociology
Social work

Masters degrees

Teaching Spanish as a foreign language
Dental hygenist specialization

  Has anyone done PLAR credit?
Posted by: CollegeStudentAC - 10-10-2024, 03:40 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

I know the acceptance of courses/certifications/experience varies per institution, but if anyone has gone through this process, I'd like to know how it went for them.


I feel this avenue should be more well-known as you are not always required to do a knowledge exam. Depending on the institution, just submitting your education/experience itself can be enough.

It's free and self-paced.

It consists of a 58-minute YouTube video and then a five-question quiz.

  Coastline.edu California associates ACE credit?
Posted by: danyfondue10 - 10-10-2024, 06:40 AM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (1)

Hello my friends, I heard that California was strict on ACE credits however Coastline.edu states that they accept up to 40 ACE credits. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Coastline.edu accepting ACE credits?

Further more does anyone have any experience with this school? How are the classes? Is it a good school? Thanks.

  National University info?
Posted by: Randyb100 - 10-09-2024, 03:53 PM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (4)

I did search and didn't find anything listed at all, even undergrad. They have a lot of doctoral programs, including a juris doctor, completely online. It is a regionally accredited university out of San Diego. 

National University

I am personally interested in their PhD in Cybersecurity and their Juris Doctor program. It's not Bar accredited, but it has been by Calbar since 1981 (just Googled that, actually).

  AACSB Certified Online Business School?
Posted by: Trich1996 - 10-09-2024, 03:16 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (15)

Hi Everyone,

Happy Wednesday! First time posting here, and hoping that you all might be able to assist me. 

I'm currently searching for an AACSB accredited online business school. I've used the search function on the forum, but I've come up empty handed so far. There are some other accreditations out there (ACBSP being one of them), but I specifically need AACSB.

The reason why I'm needing this specific accreditation is because I'm planning on attending a university after getting some of my schooling done online, and the university I'm going to be attending is AACSB certified. If I attend an online program without this certification, some of my credits may not transfer over, and I'll have to retake the same classes over again.

For reference, I'm planning on either getting a bachelor's degree in marketing or finance - undecided as of yet. I'm 28 years old, and currently living in Portland, Maine. Cost is not a huge concern, as long as the program is self paced and has the accreditation I'm seeking. 

Any assistance you all can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm super excited to finally be moving forward on this, as I've put off going to school for a long time : )

Exclamation Switching from TESU to UMPI
Posted by: sreos - 10-09-2024, 03:10 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (22)

Hi everyone,
In my initial post, I mentioned that I was planning to study Computer Science at TESU. However, my friend from Germany informed me that TESU may not be accredited in Germany, based on the German Anabin database. Since my goal is to find a job or pursue a master’s degree in Germany, I’ve decided to change my plan from TESU to Umpi (University of Maine at Presque Isle), which has an H+ rating in the Anabin database.
In the meantime, I’ve completed 11 courses on Sophia.
Here’s a summary of my situation:

  • Location: Turkey
  • Age: 23
  • Current Occupation: IT Project Manager
  • Career Goal: Transition to a developer role or pursue a master’s degree in Germany
  • Previous Education: I left an engineering degree halfway through at a university in Turkey
  • Transfer Credits: 33 credits from the following courses:
    • College Algebra
    • Introduction to Ethics
    • Introduction to Information Technology
    • Introduction to Nutrition
    • Calculus 1
    • Environmental Science
    • Intro to Business
    • Project Management
    • Principles of Finance
    • Microeconomics
    • Macroeconomics
  • Budget: Less than $10,000
  • Work Commitment: Full-time
  • Study Time: Approximately 25-30 hours per week
  • Timeline: I want to finish the degree as quickly as possible
  • Tuition Assistance/Reimbursement: No, self-funded
Do you have any suggestions for me? Is there a final plan available for the Umpi Project Management & Information Systems degree?
Thank you!

  Eastern University MBA
Posted by: Howatt777 - 10-09-2024, 11:04 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello all,

I am new to this forum so I am hoping I am posting in the right place. I recently transferred to Eastern University’s MBA Online program. I am about to complete my first two courses with A’s. However, I have read that the program gets progressively more difficult and I was hoping for feedback from anyone who has completed or is in the process of completing their MBA at EU. I was looking for some specifics on what to expect for upcoming courses such as Managerial Economics and an elective from the GDEV concentration. Are these courses a lot more difficult?
