  Grand Canyon University fully nonprofit
Posted by: clep3705 - 12-27-2025, 12:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Nonprofit status of Grand Canyon University officially recognized by U.S. Department of Education

This should clear up the confusion. Over the past several years, I'd read that GCU was or wasn't nonprofit. They were nonprofit according to the IRS and NCAA, but not the Department of Education.

There is a related legal entity called Grand Canyon Education and its subsidiary Orbis Education, which is an Online Program Management company similar to what Academic Partnerships was before purchasing Wiley University Services and rebranding as Risepoint. Orbis Education runs healthcare degree programs at these schools: Our Partners Span Coast to Coast - Orbis Education. Orbis even hires and pays faculty for these schools.

  Capella vs Walden for CBE Masters
Posted by: wow - 12-25-2025, 11:42 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (13)

Let's say you had some money to spend on a CBE degree in a subject that interested you for a check-the-box or just-for-fun masters. Assuming all other things are equal EXCEPT REPUTATION, such as costs and curriculum (I know they are a little different, but play along with me), would you choose Capella or Walden based on your level of pride/embarrassment at saying, "My master's in ____ is from ____"?

This is not a test, and you don't have to justify your answer. I'm genuinely curious if/how these two are perceived differently.

(I am NOT asking about doctorates.)

  Do You Know Anyone Who Has Successfully Passed BIO 105?
Posted by: Swiss Cognac - 12-24-2025, 05:58 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - No Replies

It is required for the B.S. Healthcare Administration and there is no way around taking it at UMPI.

I have read the horror stories. Has anyone completed this course? Is it actually the nightmare everyone says it is?

  TESU BA CS + BS BA Double Bachelor planning help
Posted by: boblax - 12-23-2025, 07:19 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (8)

Following my previous introduction post (https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ated-field) about doing a computer science related bachelor at TESU, I've been following the advice given and settled on a BA CS + BS BA double bachelor to match my background as a software dev as well as my interest in business finance.

I've started putting up together a plan: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

There are still a few unknowns that I could use some advice on.
The current plan is to stat with the BA CS, and take most of the BS BA area of study / professional business requirements as free electives. Then when I'm done with BA CS I should just have a couple more classes (between 5 and 10) to complete the BS BA.

Money is not too much of an issue and I would rather go for convenience / speed which is why I'm aiming to take 2 terms at TESU, the first one will include the cornerstone, BACS capstone, as well as 3+ courses, and a second term to get the BS BA capstone + a few additional courses if required.

There are a few elements I'm still unsure about:
1/ In Gen Ed intellectual and practical skills, is it mandatory to complete one public speaking and one writing course or not? I'm not great in either and would much rather get rid of one of them to take something like MAT-1050-TE applied liberal arts mathematics which would give me 3 RA credits and would be quite easy and quick to complete.
2/ What are the capstones about, and how hard are they?
3/ Same question for the cornerstone
4/ Can CIS-1070 be used for both the professional business requirements in BS BA as well as BA CS computer science elective? I just checked the TECEP and besides some questions about Microsoft software which I'm not familiar with (excel, word and so on), the rest is quite easy for me so would it be smarter to just do the TECEP instead of taking the course with the TESU ePack thing?
5/ Is there any information on FDR-4400 fundraising for nonprofit available somewhere? Haven't seen any equivalence on sophia / study.
6/ Same question about BUS-2100 Quantitative skills for business? Maybe Calculus from BA CS can be used or is it a specific course?
6/ With the current plan I have 12 RA credits for the BS BA and 12 RA credits for the BA CS. A lot of electives can be taken from the BS BA into the BA CS so getting the 30 here should be easy, however only 15 credits from free electives can be taken into the BS BA meaning I would need all these electives to be from BA CS AoS / CS electives taken as RA credits. Any good recommendation for this?

  Doctoral Degree Check In (regionally accredited)
Posted by: newdegree - 12-23-2025, 05:48 PM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (14)

Hey everyone, I am curious: who on the forum has earned a doctoral degree from a regionally accredited institution, and what made you choose your program? Would people mind sharing which school and program they attended? Did you attend in person, online, or hybrid? Doing a bit of research here and trying to see the number of people who completed doctoral degrees on this forum. (Please no VUL degrees as they are nationally accredited).

  Looking for cheap RA credits
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 12-23-2025, 12:23 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Horiph Wrote:Hi, I just wanted to ask where I could post to ask or look for suggestions for cheap RA credits for international students? ASU Learner is a great source as it doesn't require enrollment but I was wondering if there were cheaper RA credits (for Calc 2 and 3 especially) that don't require enrollment. There's a lot of cheap credits on CVC.edu but it's only for those who are enrolled into a Californian Community College.

Got your private message, you can put this in any of the sub forums, I'll just put this in the General Education-Related sub forum.  You may want to take some time reading through the others such as the Degree Planning Advice and so on...  To answer your question, it depends what RA courses/subject matter or foreign equivalent you're looking for.  An example is taking the community college classes for sciences with online labs, another would be doing the ENEB for business related classes.

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you are all doing well and in good health.

The purpose of this communication is to seek your expert advice. I am interested in pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration Program from the US. I am from Pakistan, I did my Bachelors in Business Administration (3.67 / 4 GPA) [Gold Medal Recipient] from COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus on full scholarship basis. I later gained employment at a local SME business. Subsequently, I completed my Masters of Business Administration from University of the People, (USA 3.81/4 GPA) (Both Nationally Accredited by DEAC, and Regionally Accredited by WASC on my Transcript). I have a band 8 in IELTS. Moreover, I have a score of 313/340 (159/170 Verbal Reasoning, 154/170 Quantitative Reasoning; 5/6 Analytical Writing) on the GRE Exam. With respect to my professional career, I have over 5 years of experience in a chemical company. I am interested in transferring credits from my BBA/MBA Degree to the DBA Program and obtaining scholarship if possible. 

Please guide and advise in which universities I should apply. I would be most grateful for your assistance.


Thank you
