Your Location: FL
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: PhD Psychology
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 60? (Associate's in General Studies acquired)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: 0
Budget: Willing to go in debt.
Commitments: I have a lady and family to consider, but I've given them so much positive equity in relational love that they can take a hit.
Dedicated time to study: 60hr/week is probably my burnout.
Timeline: Dec 1. is PhD early app deadline. This year or next year. (If MA needed for app improvement) Maybe I slide in with a strong personal statement.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Pell, I have no income currently.
I am interested in starting with a BA in PSY from TESU. I intend to pay for Instacert. I've reviewed both the sample plan and JSD's. Perhaps I'm incorrect about Study/Sophia, but I'd imagine DSST/TECEP/CIS would be quicker? Self-study followed by an exam. Is that true?
The attached file is basically copy&paste of the Sample Plan for the AOS section. I'm not familiar with how my degree would transfer with respect to gen ed requirements. It also has my completed courses from my degree. 60CR (-12, transfer?) +45 (AOS) = 93. Do any credits need to be in General Ed? Can I just fill the remaining 27CR with relevant UL/LL related courses?
Anyways. TYSM you guys for this forum and its wealth of information. I've learned so much from you all. Shout-out to you, bjcheung. I've got a lot of energy to work. I'm fully recovered after smacking cancer around a lil bit. I want a PhD from an APA school. I don't want a Psy or Ed degree. I will spend the extra year paying the entrance fee for the PhD if need be. My GPA is 3.1. I've got myself together now, though. Worked through all that childhood trauma, namsayin'? I could likely get a higher GPA is what I'm saying. I don't know what the DGS's value most, though. A MA, relevant work experience, or a 4.0 AOS GPA. They won't respond. I'll just keep knocking at the door. All words appreciated.
Hello again all, and thanks to everyone who gave me advice earlier this year! I'm on track to complete my BLS-CJ, History, Poli Sci degree from UMPI this session. So here I am, back for round two- looking for a master's degree.
I've completed 55 Sophia/Coursera credits since January and 21 UMPI credits (3 classes left to complete this term). I figured I should keep the momentum going and keep using my GI Bill.
Your Location: North Dakota, USA Your Age: 33 What kind of degree do you want?: Master's Degree OR an accelerated dual Bachelor/Master. I'd like to avoid hardcore business topics (I haven't found them particularly interesting). I was thinking Criminal Justice (not the most transferable degree outside my current career) or a STEM field (beneficial inside/outside my current career)
I have considered Walden's CBE Tempo Master's in Criminal Justice (not the biggest fan of for-profit schools). I have also considered WGU, possibly the BSIT-MSIT accelerated degree to gain some knowledge and skill that is outside my wheelhouse.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
A mess of Gen Eds and CJ courses from several schools, equal to 60 or so credits (none that would be transferable to a Masters)
However, from UMPI I have:
Vietnam Wars
Arab-Israel Conflicts
History of Infectious Disease
Intl Relations & Modern Conflicts (in progress)
CJ Ethics
Research Methods
Criminology
Police & Policing
Modern Political Thought (in progress)
Constitutional Law (will be starting that this week hopefully)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Sophia:
Intro to Ethics
Art History 1
Project Manage
College Algebra
Intro to IT
Visual Comms
Business Comms
Environ Sci
Microbiology
Workplace Writing 2
U.S. History I
U.S. History II
Intro to Soc
Spanish 1
Human Biology
Human Biology Lab
Coursera Google PM Professional Cert
Any certifications or military experience? Army 68W Healthcare Specialist ND Peace Officer License ND POST Board Instructor NREMT EMT-Basic
Budget: Flexible. I have approximately 15 months of Post-9/11 GI Bill (60%) left.
Commitments: I work full-time in Law Enforcement, subject to call-outs and long days. However, I've been very successful in managing my time.
Dedicated time to study: I can study a few hours per day when I work. I can do several hours on days off.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as quickly as possible. Ideally within the next year or so, however I can slow it up to about 15 months.
Hello! I am working on completing requirements for a Bachelor of Arts History/Political Science with Political Science concentration from UMPI. I was just wondering if anyone could confirm that study.com course name HIS 108 History of Vietnam War is granted credit towards the major. And because there are so many other history courses, would any other study.com History course count towards the major and not just elective credit? (I see Poli Sci concentration requires 9 credits of history which I was planning to complete US History I, US History II at Sophia and looking for the third History course I could complete)
I also have read that UMPI doesn't accept Saylor courses? I was thinking of completing Comparative Politics if they do, possibly.....
Hi I am currently studying for a bachelor's degree in theology at NationsU, and I would like to transfer some of religion credits. NationsU is accredited by NA, and they only accept transfer credits from officially recognized institutions (NA or RA). I have asked them, and they said that ACE cannot be transferred in, and they only accept military credits for ACE credits. So I wanted to get some religion credits from another institution and transfer.
I found this organization: https://www.christianleadersinstitute.or...on-status/
Christian Leaders Institute holds candidate status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation, 5850 T. G. Lee Blvd., Ste. 130, Orlando, FL 32822, 407.207.0808. Candidate status is a pre-accreditation status granted to those institutions that meet the ABHE Conditions of Eligibility and that possess such qualities as may provide a basis for achieving accreditation status within five years.
Click here to view Christian Leaders Institute on ABHE’s directory.
Click here to view Christian Leaders Institute on the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs.
It can be found in the U.S. Department of Education's Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs, and it has ABHE accreditation. Is one of these two accreditations equivalent to NA?
Thanks for your hlep!
Still going through my degree plan but I’d like if there was a way for me to get my current credits evaluated just to make sure everything is transferring how I planed.
Can I do that before actually applying for the BAS ?
The website and emails I’m getting don’t make it clear.
I’m planning to enroll in UMPI’s History & Political Science, Political Science Concentration, B.A. program. My goal is to transfer 90 credits through Sophia.
The Attachment is my degree plan, with three tables corresponding to General Education Requirements, Political Science Requirements, and General Electives.
Could you please let me know if this plan looks reasonable? Is there anything that could be improved, or do you have any suggestions for me?
