Hello everyone! My name is Steven, and I am new hear. I am 51 years old, and I am researching ways to quickly earn my bachelor's degree. I have 46 credits, but they are very aged. Some are from 1998, and some are from 2011-2013. I do not know 100% what degree I want it in or if I can even find what I am looking for in an online self-paced collage that will allow for Sofia credits and/or study.com credits.
My thoughts right now are:
1. nutrition
2. Psychology
3. Biblical studies
However, as stated, I am not 100% sold on any particular degree at this time. I am just doing the research, so I am open to ideas.
One of my BIG concerns is, I will not be able to get traditional financial aid (Yes, I have checked, yes, I am positive) so I will also be seeking guidance on how I might can find and obtain other grants and scholarships that I am unaware of at the moment.
Here is the list of classes I have already taken and have a total of 46 credits.
- PSYC - 2301 - GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY
- PSYC - 2372 - ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY
- ENGL - 1301 - COMPOSITION / RHETORIC I
- CDEC - 1319 - CHILD GUIDANCE
- DRAM - 1310 - INTRO TO THEATRE
- GOVT - 2301 - AMERICAN GOVERNMENT 1
- HIST - 1301 - U.S. HISTORY I
- SPCH -1311 - FUNDAMENTALS OF SPEECH COMMUNICATION
- GOVT - 2302 - AMERICAN GOVERNMENT II
- HUMA - 1301 - INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMANITIES
- COSC - 1301 - COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY
- ECON - 1301 - INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMICS
- PSYC - 2315 - PSYCHOLOGY OF ADJUSTMENT
- PHED - 1117 - BEGINNING TENNIS
- HIST - 2301 - HISTORY OF TEXAS
- PSYC - 2306 - HUMAN SEXUALITY
Also would like imput on schools. I have spoken to UMPI once a couple of years ago and I liked them OK, it was just so expensive. but if I can find the grants and scholarships, it would be doable.
I also think if I went the biblical studies route, Liberty U would probably be decent.
But, I am just not sure what all is out there, and where would give me the best bang for my buck bringing in existing credits, and accepting Sofia credits.
Please chime in! Thank you.

7 Bus & Psy Courses Left - UMPI vs study.com??? |

Hi everyone! I'm almost done with my courses to transfer to UMPI and I'm hoping to send transcripts by this Friday - this may be too soon as I'm not sure yet how fast I can complete these classes, but we will see! The problem is, if I am going to start UMPI next session, I can only transfer up to 5 classes from study.com since that is the max number of exams they allow per month. So I am wondering if anyone has experience with the following 7 courses at UMPI.
I will need to take 2 of these at UMPI, so if any of them are particularly quick to complete OR extremely lengthy, that would be very helpful info for me to decide which ones I'll take:
BUS 240: Change Management
BUS 260: Leadership
BUS 321: Human Resource Management
BUS 415: Operations Management
PSY 200: Social Psychology
PSY 235: Abnormal Psychology
PSY 311: Research Methods I
Thank you!!!

Your Location: NY, USA
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: Associate's, eventually Bachelor's
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 92
All courses are from CUNY schools with grades of C or higher.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: As low as possible
Commitments: Full-time work
Dedicated time to study: Limited
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
I am looking to get an Associate's Degree from Pierpont while it is still possible. I want to then go on and get a Bachelor's degree slowly. I believe I have most of the credits for the general education requirements, but I wanted to check if I am understanding correctly:
Communications: English Composition I (3 crs)
Social Sciences: Sociology (3 crs)
Computer Literacy: Do not have. Would Sophia Learning be the quickest/easiest/cheapest option for this?
Math/Science: General Astronomy (3 crs). Is Astronomy accepted towards this requirement? Would CSM Learn or a Sophia course be the best choice for the remaining credits?
If I apply tomorrow and start the courses right away, is it feasible to make the October 4 deadline? Any suggestions?
Thanks all!

UMPI BLS degree planning advice |

Hello! I would apreciate any input on my degree planning. I am an absolute newbie here and to college hacking so please bear with me.
Your Location: Cailfornia, United States.
Your Age: 45
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor (maybe BLS?)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have an associate degree on behavioral sciences (with 4 additional child development classes that won't transfer anywhere, apparently) From Pasadena City college in CA (ENG 1A, ENG 1B, POLSC 1, PSYCH 1, SOC 1, MUSC 21, MATH 3, ANTH 1, HIST 7A)
These are the equivalencies for transfer to UMPI:
Subject - credits - grade
ENG 101 3 credits A
ENG 121 3 credits A
POS 101 3 credits B
PSY 100 3 credits B
SOC 100 3 credits A
ART 107 3 credits B
MAT 117 3 credits B
ANT 100 3 credits A
HTY 161 3 credits C
I also have the next that I'm not sure would transfer??
SPEECH 10 3 credits B
PSYCH 21 3 credits B
ITALN 1 5 credits B
GEOG 1 3 credits A
HED (health ed) 3 credits A
PEACT 39B 1 credit A
CHDV 10 3 credits A
CHDV 15 3 credits B
CHDV 117 3 credits C
CHDV 120 3 credits A
From CAL State LA (started courses for Legal interpretation and translation)
ML790A 5 credits A
ML 790B 5 credits B
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none
Any certifications or military experience? no
Budget: The lower the better
Commitments: Stay at home mother of 2 school age children, and wife (husband works from home)
Dedicated time to study: Most weekday mornings and some evenings after kids in bed
Timeline: ASAP
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
I'm a married mother of 2 kids in school, live in CA. I am fluent in Spanish (born and raised in South America). I think UMPI could be a good fit for me time-wise and money-wise. I am not sure whether to pursue a BLS. I wanna have a degree to check the box but hopefully in the future achieve a masters and put it to work.
I have a chance to work as a sub at my kids' school (temporarily), which requires a bachelor degree in any area. However, I do not desire to work as a teacher (I used to, in the past), therefore my dilemma on what kind of degree. I am pretty good at liberal arts and I used to love science subjects. However, I find it a bit harder to do math and such in english, but I am a fast learner.
I want to be able to transfer the maximum amount of credits permitted by UMPI (90 credits) through Sophia or CLEP, but I have no idea which classes are recommended in order to not exceed the max needed per group category. I looked at the UMPI General ED curriculum and I am not sure whether that appplies to YOUR PACE as well.
Also, I am confused about the total amount of GE required. On effective written and oral communication the subcategories A and D for example, repeat ENG 101. Can my ENG 101 apply to both A and D? or do I have to fulfill one of the ctaegories with another class such as ENG 100?
Thanks for any help !!!

Winthrop University is now offering an online Bachelor's completion program in Professional Studies: https://online.winthrop.edu/programs/bps...al-studies
Need a minimum of 30 credits in order to transfer, and you can transfer up to 75% of eligible credits (it seems that CLEP credits are capped at 30 with no mention of other alt credits). Credit of prior learning can give 15 credits.
The self-paced curriculum is delivered in a 14-week subscription model with flat-rate pricing; less than 12 credits (part-time) is $1,750, and 12 or more credits (full-time) costs $3,500 per subscription period. No limit to the amount of classes you can take full-time, however any unfinished classes will be rolled over to the next period. Each course is separated into 6 competencies (similar to modules) that you complete in whatever order and whatever speed that you want to.
The online B.P.S. offers 4 concentrations, one which needs to be selected:
Community and Health Services
Health Informatics
Organizational Leadership
Organizational Operations
B.P.S. curriculum: https://online.winthrop.edu/programs/bps...curriculum
This is Winthrop University's first offering of a CBE program as part of their "Elevate" program, and they state in their FAQ that more programs will be available in the future: https://www.winthrop.edu/elevate/
Winthrop University is a public university based in Rock Hill, South Carolina and has been recognized as top-rated within that state. The school is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Seeking Advice on Free Online Courses as a Non-Degree Student |

Hey folks,
I'm on the hunt for universities or colleges in the U.S. that offer free online courses where I can enroll as a non-degree student. The catch is, I'd prefer if they don't require official transcripts—unofficial ones would be great. Plus, it would be awesome if the application process doesn't cost anything. If anyone has been through this or knows where I can find such opportunities, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks a bunch!
