Upcoming from the University of Maine at Farmington via their new 2026-27 undergraduate catalog, the UMF will offer an undergraduate Certificate in Game Studies via the YourPace competency-based education modality.

“Whether you are a business student honing your skills in negotiation and strategic decision-making, an aspiring educator interested in game-based learning, or a student of social behavior looking to understand the mechanics of human systems, this certificate bridges the gap between formal logic and human experience. By developing a ‘game-minded’ approach, you will gain a versatile, high-level skill set for analyzing and navigating complex human interactions in any professional field,” states the catalog.

The 12-credit certificate consists of four courses:

• PSY 107 Psychology of Video Games
  
• MAT 191 Game Theory
  
• PSY 207 Game Studies: A Psychosocial Approach
  
• Plus an elective from a list published each year
  

Christendom College, a Roman Catholic college in Virginia, offers free online short courses of video lectures by its faculty. Non-credit, but a digital certificate of completion is available for each course.

The courses currently:

• Education at the Crossroads [critique of progressive and pragmatic education, defense of classical Catholic education], 4.5 hours
  
• Proving God’s Existence: Discovering the Divine Through Reason, 6.5 hours
  
• Theology of the Body, 3.5 hours
  
• Becoming a Saint: Wisdom from Aquinas to Grow in Virtue, 6 hours

I'm currently in the process of finishing my BACS, I have a few credits left. I'm going to cap the 90 ACE credits limit, and I have transferred a couple of credits from a EU university. As a result, I have 6 remaining credits that needs to be RA.

This is the current plan. The bottom part is a BSBA that I might or might not complete at some point. The remaining COS-2130, COS-3300 and CIS-3010 I will do on study.com, bringing the total to 90. The purples classes are the ones that are RA (TECEP, foreign credits or normal TESU classes).

I'm planning on doing a 15 credits term at TESU with: SOS-1100, PHI-1300, CIS-1070, + 2 other classes. Then a final term with the capstone.
These 2 classes are the ones I'm looking for. Ideally, they should have no proctored exams, or no papers (would prefer no exam unless there are really a lot of papers to do). If there are exams, then there shouldn't be a lot of dates to memorize. Fitting into knowledge of other cultures for the BSBA would be appreciated but it's not necessary.

Any suggestion?

This is so very cool!

I was delighted to find my own name, and the names of family and friends.

Does COS-2050 Python Programming fulfill the Intro to Programming course in the BACS degree?

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to let you know what this certificate ( https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/ibm-generative-ai-engineering ) transfers to at TESU:

COS-4510, DSI-3040, ETH-2300, COS-2050, DSI-3999

- for BACS COS-4510 Artificial Intelligence is UL
- COS-2050 is Python Programming (LL), relatively good if you don't wanna do Sophia or Study.com; for me, it was irrelevant, I had already done Python at a Finnish school.
- ETH-2300 is an Ethics class, quite interesting

and the rest are courses for Data Science and Analytics

In total, this certificate yields 15 credits


I think quite interesting for some out there.

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to let you know what this certificate ( https://www.coursera.org/professional-ce.../google-ai ) transfers to at TESU:

I was on the sister board and noticed someone mentioned there is a new NACES member, just wondering if anyone has used their services yet?

I checked their website and fees, seems reasonable for course by course at $145.  If you need the GPA, it's an extra $50.  Anyone want to be the guinea pig?

NEW applicants
General - $90
Course by Course - $145
Course by Course with GPA - $195
CPA Examination - $190
CPA Licensure - $190

Hi there, I'm thinking of changing my degree from a bachelor's of arts in computer science to a bachelor's of science in engineering systems & electronics technology. I feel that it would fit better for me, as it sounds more backend-focused, and it may allow for a wider range of career opportunities suiting me. What should I know about this degree? What prerequisite courses should I take?

Maybe, and hear me out, the system is broken. The pipeline for the American Dream is failing. The brightest, hardest working Americans are failing to make rent, while the Pedo class is getting richer and richer.
