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).

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.

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

Hello! I’m hoping someone can look at my transcripts and tell me if I could get a TESU BA in Psychology using just Study.com. I’ve looked over the Sample TESU BA Psychology Degree Plan on the Degree Forum Wiki, and it looks like I can get it done using the Study.com subscription service. I just want to check ahead of time to make sure I’m covering all my bases.

I was tentatively accepted in 2024 but didn't pursue the program, and decided to apply again this year (2026) - does anyone know how much if any institutional funding they provide, particularly since their program requires a one-week annual residency in the NYC commuting area? 

Is anyone here familiar with this program or its inner workings?

A friend of mine is studying for a Master's degree in Spain and jumped for joy when she learned that her university offers a doctorate program in her field (or one closely related) for about 300-500 Euros annually.

How common is this? I asked on reddit and was told if you have an EU citizenship (I do, as a second/acquired citizenship) it is quite feasible, but I am struggling to find any PhDs in my desired field/s (the general ballpark of International Relations/Affairs, Global Studies, Geopolitics, Security Studies/Defense Studies/Homeland and Civil Security) where this is an option. 

Does anyone know how I ought to tailor my search? I looked up programs at my acquaintance's university and they do not seem to have anything in the ballpark of what I'm looking for other than a PhD in something like "Criminology and Associated Applied Social and Administrative Sciences", which sounds vague, broad, and not quite what I'm looking for.

Hi


I’ve only recently started looking into ways to complete a degree as cheaply and quickly as possible, but I found the post about ECTS credits from the University of Turku, along with some other discussions about similar Finnish universities offering free or online ECTS courses.

I know the ECTS are only worth about 0.5-0.75 credits, but how do I know if those credits are counted towards the specific degree I apply for at UMPI or UMass Global to reduce the amount of credits I have to take? I’m not from America, but I assume say, the Finnish as a Foreign Language credit wouldn't help if I wanted a degree in business from UMPI?

Sorry if this whole post has been a stupid question, but I don’t quite understand the US university system (doesn’t bode well for my degree if I can’t figure this out, I guess, does it?)


Thanks for any help.

I was just informed today by the registrars office that they will accept 3 certs for UL electives that are offered via Coursera:

Google Project Management = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective

Google UX Design = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective

Meta Social Media Marketing = 3 UL Credits as a Free Elective

If you were to do Health 310 via Study.com, that would then put you at a total of 12 UL Credits.
