Hello,

Between industry certifications and ACE credits, I will have 89 credits that are transferrable toward the WGU BSCSIA by early next year.

While I am nearly certain that I will enroll in WGU's BSCSIA program next year, I wanted to check to see if there are other, similar options that this forum recommends. 

Transferability of certifications is what initially interested me in WGU, so I am curious if other programs accept certs for credit.

I like the DHA program from VUL, but the administration's professionalism is sorely lacking. Unaswered e-mails, phone messages, open complaints from other grads, etc and now we're seeing an inside view how they work. The football team doesn't have a stadium and coach Doe Edwards has posted for years on his X account the Dragon's mismangement and poor treatment of the players. Ashame their degree program is tarnished by their footballl program.

Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama is developing an online Doctor of Arts (DA) in English. JSU’s current doctorates are a competitive 450 to 500 per semester hour. (Their only online doctorates currently are in emergency management and in nursing.)

The Chanticleer Wrote:English Department Head Raina Kostova said the Doctor of Arts in English degree will be offered completely online. Kostova said students are not required to have a master’s degree to begin the program, meaning undergraduates can transition directly into the doctoral program upon graduation.

Kostova said the degree has been in development for the past two years. Former English Department Chair Andrea Porter began the initial research before Kostova became the department head a year ago.

Hello everyone!

Currently I am a student at TESU, with my first term ending this Sunday. At the end of this term, I will have 100 credits, 9 coming from community college and 79 coming from ACE sources such as Sophia and Coursera. I am also currently finishing up a Study.com course which will give me three more credits, as an ACE source. This upcoming term I will be taking 2 regular TESU courses and 2 TECEP exams. Will the TECEP exams count as the ACE credit sources which are capped at 90? I was hoping that I could take the final two courses needed to graduate through Study.com, but I am concerned that these would not be counted as I am near the maximum ACE credits allowed, if the TECEP exams count as ACE sources.

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations for an online, asynchronous master's program in Health Informatics with a total cost as close to $10,000 as possible. I've looked at a few different health informatics programs, but the tuition is astronomical (to me at least, I'm a WGU grad so I'm spoiled). 

I'd also be open to MHA or MSIT programs that have a health informatics concentration. Currently Amberton University's MHA program with their grad cert in Healthcare Informatics is looking like a good option, but I'm wanting to explore other options too. 

Thank you!

I'm hoping to transfer the 24 RA credits, but I'm curious how they count them. At my local CC, Eng 1A is a 4-unit course, but it looks like it's 3 at TESU. Will this count as 4 or 3 towards the 24? I will also be transferring in some 4-unit foreign language courses. Will those count as 4 or 3 towards the 24?

Thank you!

Upper Iowa University, a regionally accredited private nonprofit university in Iowa, brick-and-mortar with a long history in distance learning, is now offering online self-paced science courses at lower than normal prices to students paying directly through PrereqCourses.com.

This is the science version of how UIU offers accounting and related courses at lower than normal prices to students paying directly through cpacredits.com. The two dot-com sites share a nearly identical basic design, and though focused on science, the PrereqCourses site also offers accounting, business, and other non-science courses from the cpacredits course list.

These are the courses currently offered most likely to be useful in science degree plans or as health professions prerequisites. Courses vary between 3 and 4 semester credit hours each.

Some highlights about how these courses work:

PrereqCourses.com Wrote:The courses are completely asynchronous and fully on your own schedule. The self-paced courses are assignment-based, allowing students to manage their study schedule without time constraints. Assignments are open book and open internet, enabling students to access resources for completing their coursework effectively.

90% of your grade will come from your assignments. There is one final exam, worth about 10% of your grade.

[You will need to buy a textbook.] We suggest renting them for 3 months; it’s an inexpensive option.

Courses begin monthly. Students have 6 months to complete each course (the first assignment must be submitted within the first 2 months). Course is complete once all assignments have been submitted. If this time is exceeded, the student is automatically withdrawn. There is a $125 fee to re-enroll your course if you were withdrawn for not completing the first assignment within 60 days. There is a $150 fee to reinstate if you were withdrawn for exceeding 6 months.

Anyone ever familiar with Cornerstone University and the SOAR Program? I have a friend attending GCU and may need to drop due to costs, and wants to stick with a christian university. I recommended cornerstone since they have CBE options, just thought I'd get some insight for anyone with experience with that school.

WGU is hiring subject-matter experts on short-term remote contracts for course development in Calculus II for Engineers and Linear Algebra for Engineers, neither of which title they currently offer. There are Calculus II and Linear Algebra courses in their secondary math education degrees.

Meanwhile, UMPI is hiring part-time remote YourPace CBE faculty in Mathematics, including Calculus, Statistics, Real Analysis, etc. Currently there are only two math courses on YourPace, Probability and Statistics I and Mathematics for Business. The Computer Science major under development for YourPace will need a few more. Real Analysis is a surprise hiring interest: It’s not part of their on-campus Computer Science major (and rarely if ever required in a computer science major), though it is an elective in their on-campus Mathematics major.
