I know some people are aware of this and I've held off on making this post but I realized that there must be a lot of people applying and/or already enrolled, who weren't aware of the discounts Sophia Learning students can get. I am aware that Study.com has some scholarships as well but Sophia Learning's scholarships rolled out this year.

Has anyone taken Texas Government - GOVT 2306 - at a school other than TAMUC? I applied for a self-paced course at Central Texas College and am just wondering how long it takes. I have vacations and such I need to be able to schedule around. I will be taking the Fall 2 semester off to go on vacation and I'm looking at the CTC dates to try and work it in. Thanks!

In other news, I have struggled getting interviews for jobs I was more than qualified for, like many of you have. I went ahead and updated my resume with an Education section, where I listed my upcoming bachelor's with an expected Spring 2025 completion. I got interviewed and hired for a dream job within three weeks. So, you may go ahead and try it yourself if you have jobs you want to apply for! You know, a resume only has one job - to get you that interview!

Hi everyone,

I am 22 credits shy of graduating from UMPI, and I plan on getting my MBA over at HAU!

Does anyone know if HAU is still offering the MBA for $3K? I was reading on the website that it was only a limited time thing?

Thank you!

Notes: I have earned both an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Science from the Lone Star College System. The only college I have looked into is UMPI. I shaped the spreadsheet Christie (u/ccwgu) created to carve a path forward for myself at UMPI. I have linked the UMPI BLS Mgt, BA, PM Minors, MAOL Degree spreadsheet plan I created for your convenience. I want to thank Christie (u/ccwgu) again for making the original spreadsheet. She is truly an amazing person.

I am in no way set on UMPI. This is just where I started, and I felt that I needed more opinions at this point. I am looking for the easiest path forward, and I understand that how easy something can be is subjective. For example, taking more classes overall can be easier. Let me explain: taking easier required UL classes at UMPI may take the pressure off by allowing a student to take the more challenging required UL courses at Sophia. Some of these would filter into additional elective credits. Yes, this means more classes overall, but it shifts the more challenging courses to Sophia. Ultimately, the 10 UL requirement is met, and the more challenging courses are taken at Sophia. Is this not correct? This train of thought is not reflected in the plan below. I am more concerned with how difficult the plan is, not the cost.

Hi All!  I've been reading through so many of these threads the last few days and I'm hoping for a little guidance.  If this is the wrong area, please feel free to move it! 
Essentially, the goal is law school, but unless I want to go to California, I need a bachelor's first.  I'm a pretty accomplished HR-Tech Manager currently, so it seemed like TAMUC's new HRDev degree would be a good choice, but when I found LawShelf, I was enamored.  All of those classes would be amazing to take.  That said, I know most institutions don't accept the NCCRS credits as readily anymore. I got a little overwhelmed trying to consume all of this information after reading through the Wiki, and would appreciate any guidance.


Your Location: Denver
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Commitments: I have a fulltime day job, but have flexibility being remote. No spouse or kids.
Budget: Ideally less than 10k, but flexible.
Dedicated time to study: 2-3 hrs per day, sometimes more.
Timeline: A year would be ideal, but I want to stay realistic. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Unfortunately not.

I'm working as quickly as I can through my MAOL - started 9/3 and I've completed 500, 510, 520, 530, and I'm 2 milestones submitted for 540 with every intention of submitting the 3rd and having my final prepared tomorrow. 

So that leaves me with 600, 610, 630, 640, and 650 for my last 5 courses.  I need to knock out 4 of those by 10/11.  So I'm hoping to do the faster 4, so I can save the longest for last... but I don't know which will be the longest?  (not worried about 600, Morin's courses are my vibe)

Any insights? 

As an aside, I've had Trudel before so I know his expectations. 

Thanks for your help! <3

Hello, long time lurker first time poster here. I am helping my husband work on his degree plan for the BABA Supply Chain concentration. I created a lovely excel sheet for him using all the great information on this site. He attended a local CC where he earned 12 free credits towards a supply chain certificate, he couldn't finish the cert because he doesn't have a valid HS diploma. He is reluctantly accepting to complete the GED before applying to UMPI, as his transcripts from high school completed internationally cannot be located. In the meantime, he is working backwards and banging out any applicable Sophia courses. He is not interested in completed credits through study.com as he is not a great test taker and fears the proctoring process.  SO, my question is what happens to credits that do not appear on the credit transfer equivalency guides? I have looked up the school he attended and cannot find those courses on there, but they sound like they might be similar.

Since the change from BSBA-CIS TO BS CIS. It was my understanding that we could double that up with the BA COS. I emailed an advisor to add the BS CIS on top of my BA COS/Bio (double major). She said "I can't add th BS CIS because the dean says you already have your BS Chem from a different school". I thought I could earn 2 TESU bachelor's? The advisor did not specify any reason other than "The dean didn't allow it".

ChatGPT had severe limitations in things such as math, coding, and PHD level responses. Now it looks like a new model addresses some of these concerns.
