Hello everyone! Wondering if you can help me out here. My goal is to get my bachelors in Accounting, then masters, and eventually CPA. 

I'm wondering if I should stay at WGU for both bachelors and masters or go to UMPI for the bachelors then take the master at WGU? Or maybe a completely different strategy entirely? 

Here is some more info on my situation:

I've applied to WGU and sent in my transcripts, they've already confirmed 21 credits from my community college now I'm waiting for them to confirm my Sophia credits. My one big fear here is the proctored exams, mainly because I live in a pretty busy household with children, one of whom is ASD and stays with me most of the time. My plan so far is to hit up my library for a private room for the exams, not sure how picky the proctors are regarding that. 

However I recently found out about UMPI and how they can possibly accept more credits through Sophia and etc. Also been reading how they're not proctor-based, which is fine for me since I don't mind writing and making presentations so that would allow me to stay home to do everything and not worry about finding some place suitable for the exams.

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to bjcheung77 for the helpful advice shared on a previous thread I posted. Your insights were greatly appreciated!

Here is a bit of background about me:

• Location: Europe
  
• Age: 30
  
• Desired Degree: UMPI BSc in Psychology
  
• Current Regional Accredited Credits: A Bachelor’s + Master’s in non related topics (both earned in Europe - can I use them to transfer for the 35 general credits that I need?). Additionally, I have título propio credits in areas such as counseling and team leadership, though I’m unsure how feasible it would be to validate them through NARIC. Wouldn't mind to start from scratch. 
  
• ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None at the moment.
  
• Certifications or Military Experience: None.
  
• Budget: $5,000.
  
• Commitments: Full-time work and family responsibilities.
  
• Study Time: Approximately 10 hours per week, though I’m willing to pause personal and professional obligations for a couple of months to make significant progress or potentially complete the program within that timeframe.
  
• Timeline: Preferably by summer 2025, but definitely by December 2025.
  
• Tuition Assistance: None available, so staying within budget is crucial.
  

1. Recognition in Europe: Would this degree be recognized in Europe? Could it potentially qualify me to register as a fully licensed therapist in any European country? I’d love to hear about any similar experiences.
   
2. Timeline: Would it be realistic to complete the degree within one or two sessions (YourPace) if I dedicate at least one session to full-time study?
   
3. Degree Plan: I reviewed the UMPI BA Psychology Degree Plan, which seems very detailed and helpful. Could someone provide a beginner-friendly explanation of the typical roadmap? Am I correct in understanding that I should complete the Study.com and Sophia courses first, and then enroll at UMPI to transfer the credits?
   
4. Residency Requirements: Does UMPI require any form of residency for the YourPace program? From what I understand, it does not, but I’d like to confirm.
   

I'm looking for the cheapest/fastest route to the NCIDQ exam for interior design for someone with a bachelors degree in another field (no related credits).

From what I can tell so far the options are slim and mostly in person.  From what I see there is little difference in the credit requirements between the handful of "first professional" masters and bachelors degrees.  There don't seem to be any online masters and local would be tough (UNA is the only program close enough).  Any good way to hack these? Alt credits possible (I see nothing on SDC)? 

There is also theoretically a "certificate" option, but I am not sure these actually exist and meet the 60 credit requirement.

Hello,

I'm just trying to get clarification on my degree progress report (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z8THML0...drive_link) and how should I plan to take my courses? 

I transferred in 169 credits from other schools, sophia and my AAS.

It says I have 18 upper credits that I need to fulfill, but I'm only counting 3 courses that are, 300 or higher on my degree progress report.

Additionally, I'm overall only counting 9 courses that need to be completed on the report, but to satisfy the residency requirement, I must take 10 courses.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi! Does anyone here knows if the BGS CBE at TAMUC (now ETAMU) is available for international students?

[Good to see legitimate schools improve and maintain accreditation.

University of Lynchburg keeps accreditation but warned for needed improvements

Hello Everyone, 
I am planning to complete the BA Computer Science Degree. I am NJ resident and live (will say 5 mins drive). 
I am more concern about the Discreet Math which i don't have in my current UMPI BLS Degree. Any suggestion that Study.com or cheaper other courses i can transfer?
I have completed UMPI BLS in IT and Project Management. 
I competed UMPI MAOL as well. 
The goal for me is to complete the Computer Science Degree. 
My all UMPI BLS Credits transferred from  Sophia which were around 121 where all the IT course (Intro ones)

Anyone has any suggestion? I can take Mercer county Discreet Math but its 4 month long and cost 192/Credit (almost $600) for 4 month. 

Thanks

Hi,

I passed my last exam for my BSBA yesterday . I'm hoping to register for the BSBA capstone for the January term, so I'm trying to decide what professor to choose.

It looks like I have the option of doing the Guided Study with Professor Timothy P. Kenny or the Online with 
Dr. Sandra Mohabir-Mckinley.

I think I'd prefer to do the Online, but it doesn't look like there is a lot of info. on 
Dr. Sandra Mohabir-Mckinley - I wasn't able to find her on Rate My Professors. It looks Timothy P. Kenny has 4.6/5 rating on Rate My Professor. 

If anyone has any experience with either of these 2 professors, I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts on them. 

Thanks for the help!
