Can Sophia's Calculus be used for MAT 140 Mathematics for Business? |

Hello everyone!
I recently noticed that UMPI's webpage for the BABA Project Management & Information Systems says that MAT 131 Calculus can be taken in place of MAT 140 Mathematics for Business. According to UMPI's official transfer equivalency database, Sophia's Calculus course should transfer in as MAT 131 Calculus. However, the degree plans that I have seen for this major include Study.com's Business 110: Business Math instead. Has anyone been able to successfully use Sophia's Calculus course to meet the MAT 140 Mathematics for Business requirement for the BABA Project Management & Information Systems?
Thank you!

Has anyone had experience with or knowledge about the Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS)? I've found some concerning information I want to share:
Key points about this institution:
- Claims to be based in Atlanta, Georgia
- Offers online MBA, MCS, and DBA programs
- Only has CPD (Continuing Professional Development) recognition, NO formal academic accreditation
- Currently appears on the Georgia Nonpublic Education Commission (GNPEC) consumer alerts page
I'm curious about two things:
- What's the business model here - how do they sustain operations without accreditation?
- Are there any regulatory/legal implications for operating this way in Georgia?
If anyone has insights about similar institutions or relevant regulations in Georgia, I'd appreciate learning more.

I plan to apply for a master's degree in Computer Science in the US |

Hello,
I am an international student and am thrilled to have found this forum, which is filled with invaluable information and supportive members.
I plan to apply for a master's degree in Computer Science in the US, without having a bachelor's degree in computer science. I've noticed that some universities require applicants like my case to complete specific courses beforehand, such as Data Structures and Linear Algebra, and to submit transcripts with grades. I'm curious if courses taken from learning platforms like Sophia or Saylor are recognized by most universities. Are they potentially a better choice than Coursera, given that they come with ACE-recommended credits?
Additionally, since some institutions prefer applicants to have completed courses from a recognized university, would it be acceptable if I transferred credits earned from Sophia to a school like TESU or WGU? I'm uncertain if these schools would retain the original grades on the transcript.
I'm also trying to determine the most affordable and effective path.
I've reached out to one of the universities for clarification but am yet to receive a response. I'm eager to start the necessary courses, which is why I'm seeking guidance here.
I truly appreciate insights from anyone who has navigated a similar path. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
