International Holocaust Remembrance Day, is today January 27th.

Holocaust Courses

I am looking for courses on the Holocaust that are online, free and offer a certificate.

The courses can be historical, medical care, etc.

I began a project two weeks ago and courses would be helpful.

I found one  Caring for Holocaust Survivors With Sensitivity at the End of Life.

It was online, free, and gave a certificate.  I completed it in a little over three hours.

Not too long after I decided I needed to step away from NWCU School of Law (discussed a bit more over here: http://degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-a-JD-...#pid449885 ), I got bored academically and decided to get an MBA in IT Management from WGU. 

Today I just got back the PASS notice for my final task for my capstone, and I'm finished with the program.

It took me under 11 months (just under 2 terms), but it could definitely be done in 1 term/6months, particularly if you have a solid business background (accounting/financing were probably the most difficult courses in the program, but they're doable). I was in no hurry because my employer was footing the bill anyway, so taking some extra time and absorbing the info was nice. 

Anyone looking for tips or guidance in this program should start here, this guy was an amazing resource: https://adamvaluckas.com/the-unofficial-...de-for-wgu

Anyway, it's been a while, hope you all are well... not sure how long I'll stick around here. But I thought I'd pop in to brag about another accomplishment (and to give an update about why I threw in the towel at NWCU, which ultimately I really enjoyed my short stint with).

Is it still possible to complete a degree through Athabasca entirely without ever having to take a course at the school? I know it's something that we don't discuss often in here, but I probably have enough UL credits to transfer in from a range of schools I never finished.

If memory serves me right, they offer a bachelors degree program that is 90 credits total, with 60 LL and 30 UL.

Hello Forum Fellows,

I wanted to share an interesting find. Perhaps it will be of interest to some of you.

I’ve heard rumors for a while that WGU might offer an MSW, and recently it seems more plausible. WGU has posted several job openings for social work evaluators, which could suggest that a program may be coming soon. Although nothing has been officially announced.

WGU already has experience coordinating internships and in-person training requirements for other programs (Teaching & Nursing), so it would be interesting to see how a potential MSW field placement model might work. If WGU were to move forward with an MSW, pursuing CSWE accreditation would likely be an important consideration. Accreditation plays a major role in licensure eligibility in all states, I believe. 

Many people have expressed interest in a program like this over the years, so it will be interesting to see how it is received if it comes to fruition. It's not the counseling program many wanted, but an MSW provides many of the same opportunities in the field of mental health. If implemented, it could offer increased flexibility compared to traditional MSW programs, which typically take two years if the student comes in without a BSW. I am not aware of any competency-based MSW programs currently, though I could be mistaken. 

It's interesting to see how WGU continues to expand its offering and provide affordable alternatives based on CBE.

Hello everyone,


I am a prospective student based in Egypt, planning to enroll in the UMPI YourPace BABA Project Management & Information Systems degree. Before I begin, I must get a preliminary approval from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Universities.

To do this, I need to present a complete package of what the degree entails. I am reaching out to any alumni to kindly share examples of the official paperwork they got.

Could anyone provide redacted copies/scans of the following? (Please blur out all personal information: name, student ID, grades, signature, etc. I only need to see the document structure and content):

1. The Official Program Curriculum / Degree Plan: The document from UMPI that lists every required course (with codes like BUS 350), their descriptions, and total credits.
   
   
2. The Diploma (Degree Certificate) Sample: What the final diploma looks like (layout, seal, degree title, signatures).
   
   
3. Transcript Sample: How the grades and credits are presented on an official transcript.
   
   
4. Key Supporting Letters: Any official letters you received from UMPI that confirmed:
   
   • The university's NECHE accreditation status.
     
   • An explanation of the "YourPace" competency-based model and that it is a legitimate degree program from the public university.
     
   • The medium of instruction is English.
     

Your Location: VA, USA
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors. Eventually will pursue a masters, ideally a MSW.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 85
Budget: As little as possible
Commitments: I have a full time job, but I can do a few hours of schoolwork a week during work hours, and I have no commitments outside of this.
Timeline: ASAP. Ideal would be before the end of Aug, 2026.

I have looked through the forum and have been lurking for a couple weeks now. I would prefer CBE because I have had success with that in the past, but I am also more than happy to take as many Sophia/etc credits somewhere and finish up that way. I have sent in applications to Excelsior and UMPI to see what classes they will transfer in.
My biggest concern is which credits may transfer, and what kind of classes they will leave me with. Since a majority of my credits are in human services/social work I am assuming a psych or general studies degree will be my best bet. I would love to be able to get started on some Sophia credits ASAP, but I’m not sure where to start with that.
I am feeling discouraged, because I expected to be done with school by now. I am looking for some reassurance, and guidance if anyone can tell me if I’ve got the right idea with this.

Hi All,

I'm currently working through TESU's BSBA Accounting/CPA degree, and I had a quick question - does anyone know of exam options for TESU's Advanced Accounting II (ACC-4020) course?

I've searched around a bit, but the closest I found was Study.com's Advanced Accounting II (Accounting 302), which does not seem like it would count (at least from the description.

I'm trying to avoid having to take this course directly through TESU (for cost and time reasons) in other words. Any help is appreciated!!

Calbright college, a free CBE online college in California has partnered with WGU to allow credit taken there to be transferred into degree programs.

Hi all,

Just went through the process of registering (and purchasing) the Medical Terminology TECEP for the sole reason of withdrawing (or "dropping", idk which!) and using it to extend my active student status.

I stupidly bought the February 2026 dated TECEP, so I think I have to wait till February now? 

Could anyone give me the concrete steps in how I actually withdraw from a TECEP so that it updates my active student status? It's all a bit confusing with the interdependent areas of myEdison.

Thanks!

I am new to this website. I am seeking assistance or advise on what the best options are for me to pursuing a bachelor's degree in maybe business administration or healthcare. there are so many different options I feel lost. 

I currently work in banking and my job will help pay for a business degree but I am unsure what direction i want to go in. in the banking world risk management is a hot topic and a very well paying job WITH A DEGREE same with AML. But how do i get there? 

I did attend a technical school for Medical Assistance and have an Associate degree in applied science with a certification for medical assistance. I am also thinking of going in the medical direction as this is a good paying job at the end of it. however, I am not looking to be an RN something that possibly works in the office setting. Possibly healthcare admin or health information management. 

It seems like I know what degrees I am looking for by mentioning my ideas but that's where I am stuck to say what if this is not the right choice or what if this is not what I want to do or how do I move once I obtain any of these degrees? 

IF you are in any of these areas what are your thoughts on schooling to obtain a bachelors degree or certifications. I am looking for fully online schools with possible finical aid to pay for schooling because who can afford that in this world.
