Hi,

Now that Pierpont has changed,
I wanted to verify a few things.

1--Do you definitely get an Associate degree from UNPI,
      as you are fulfilling the requirements for the BA degree?

2--Is there any downside to applying,
      and transferring credits to UMPI,
      before you have the full 90 credits?

I would transfer in over 50 credits,
and then finish around 40 more at Sophia.

THANK YOU!!!!

I was told today that there are changes to the BOG AAS degree.

I was told you now have to take 12 credits at Pierpont.

Anyone hear anything?

Hi all! Like the title states, I'm 33 and went straight into the workforce in 2009 after high school - meaning no college, no credits, etc.

I've stumbled into a decent career in the tech/startup world, in an operations role in human resources (but I admin some tech platforms, and am extremely computer literate and tech savvy)

I've always wanted to pursue Computer Science, just never had the time/resources until now. I'm teaching myself some programming basics in Python and C but I know I need to start pursuing credits, brushing up on my math, and ultimately committing to enrolling.

Your Location: United States - North Carolina
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors, Computer Science
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0 
Any certifications or military experience?: PMI Certified Associate Project Management, Google Project Management
Budget: Not unlimited but... unlimited within reason
Commitments: Work full time - but remote
Dedicated time to study: I dedicate around 4h a day to learning programming right now, so I could commit that and likely even more (weekends, etc.) as I have a flexible work schedule.
Timeline: None really, but I'd like to get through in 2 years or so - willing to put in the work
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None that I know of

I'd also love some input from those that may have started in a similar place to me; how much programming should I learn prior to enrolling and/or taking ACE courses? Ideally I'd do it all, but I'm currently dedicating most of my time to getting through some MOOC courses in Python.

Thank you all!

I tried logging in today at 1:00 PM EST but I keep getting an error screen that says: 

" Page Error. There was a problem with your last request. You may have tried to perform an action after a long period of inactivity. If that's the case, try going back, reloading the page you were working on, and resubmitting. If not, please let us know what you were doing when the error happened."

Is anybody else having this problem? Or is it just me? I tried clearing cookies and using a couple of different browsers. Same result. 

I'm studying full-time and losing any type of time is kind of a pain. 

Hey everyone! 

I am on the path for BAS with triple minor PM, MIS, and MGT. I am wondering what are the odds of getting UMPI to let me get a quad minor and add Business Admin? I would only need to take BUS125 to finish out that Minor as well. I would love to have those 4 on my degree. 

Also does anyone know if any courses at Sophia cover BUS125? Seems like this is a very easy course from what I am reading and I may have something completed to cover this. 

Thanks!

Hi everyone <3 I am new to this forum so I hope I do things correctly but please forgive me if I end up messing up...

I'll try to keep it short and sweet so I can spare you all of the lengthy version.  I am in my 20s and I want to be done with my undergraduate degree already.  I experienced a lot of heartbreak and trauma in my life that pushed my degree to the length that it has been pushed to and I honestly just want to be done with it already.  I want to move back to Europe and I have thought out my life there (what I mean to say is, please don't worry about my major being what I want or care about as horrible as that may sound).

I have completed many courses through Sophia, CLEP, and my local community college.  I will gladly list them all if it helps.  I am transferring all of these credits to TESU for their Liberal Studies programme with a minor in Humanities.  I am happy to remove the Humanities part if it means I finish my degree sooner and graduate faster.  

Location: Boston, MA (generally speaking)
Age: 27
Degree I want: Undergraduate
No military experience/connection/background

I have been in contact with Patricia Certo and long story short, I am still needing/missing the following to graduate but I have completed everything else:

COM-2090 Public Speaking
SOS-1100 Information Literacy Today
POS-1100 American Government
AOS 18 credits (Humanities content, 15 of these credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level)
And the capstone

The short version of all of this is, could someone please help me find the most inexpensive quickest way for me to complete these remaining requirements so I can graduate ASAP...?  

Thank you all so much in advance and thank you so much for taking the time to read through what I have said here, I cannot thank you all enough for this invaluable forum!!! <3 <3 <3

Today at 11:59pm is the deadline to submit Draft Finals - I finished a Milestone that needed to be completed on Tuesday and it's not graded yet, so I cannot submit my Draft final yet.

My question is - if the deadline for Drafts is today and I miss that, can I still submit a final without a draft next week, and not receive an F in the course?  I'm pretty confident in my Final and would do that if need be, rather than withdraw from the course. 

Anyone know the answer to this?  I've emailed my advisor and the professor, but I'm sure today is a busy day for them, thought I would check here as well.

Hello, 

I stumbled across this forum whilst researching whether or not the "9 month college grad" degree hacking program on YouTube was worth the money. I did watch his introductory video where he states that the key is to find a college that you pay for by term, not by credit and to test out of courses. 
A little background on me:
I am a HS grad and have worked my way up the ladder to HR at a non-profit Hospice (10 plus years experience). My sister in law (MS degree RN) owns and runs a local health care facility. We have been approached with the opportunity to purchase a similar facility in a neighboring state that I would be the administrator of. The catch is this state requires the administrator to have an AA degree or at least an LPN license. I have neither. An LPN would require not only the course work, but the hands on clinical work, so it cannot be fast tracked. So AA degree it is. I need the shortest, cheapest way possible. I am not afraid of hard work and will but the time in as required. I need to get this done as quickly as possible because either my sister in law or my husband will be the "administrator" on paper (which requires they be in the facility at least 20 hours a week) and I will be the designee, actually doing the work. The sooner we can get that administrator role transferred to me, the sooner they will get those 20 hours of their life back!

From the "9 month degree hack", I found UMass may be my best option to enroll in an AA and test out of courses. Has anyone had any experience with them? Thank you so much!

I am done with teaching, looking to find something interesting to do for the rest of my working life.  I have an interest in accounting.  Don't need to become a CPA, just want to be marketable in some way outside of education.

I have a previous degree in education.  I also have a variety of random courses in education from renewing my teaching license.  

I am fairly certain that my previous degree will cover general education courses and electives. For the major courses below, are there certain classes that should or shouldn't be taken at UMPI?  Are there different alternative providers?  I only have 8 courses listed for UMPI.  I am aware that I need 10 courses (30 credits).
