  Which MBA program
Posted by: faptaincrunch - 09-29-2024, 09:06 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

I've decided to get my MBA after having completed my undergrad at TESU. I'm stuck between Pitt state University that holds an AASCB accreditation and is $11970 vs Eastern University that holds an ABSCP accreditation and is $9900.
I'm looking for something that *sounds* good to an employer "they might confuse Pitt state uni with Pittsburgh PA which is geographically close* and also not too expensive. Does the accreditation matter? I haven't seen too much conversation around PSU. Any insight?

I'm looking at American Public University for some of my ULs in a TESU biology degree. Would love to hear from people who have taken classes there what the structure etc is generally like (even if the ones you took weren't biology).

  125 free non credit courses in Spanish
Posted by: Avidreader - 09-28-2024, 10:27 AM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - No Replies

The Carlos Slim Foundation has a website called Capacítate para el empleo, which offers 125 free online courses that will issue an achievement once you complete them. They have no college degree value and are self paced.

Topics are wide such as gardening, being a dishwasher or waiter, along with tons of tech degree related subjects such as IT cabling and web development which could serve as a useful refresher course. They also have a Mexican Sign Language course.

They have some diplomados without university accreditation in tech subjects like web development or Big Data, Fullstack and some environmental and health ones too.

  WGU MSCS and MSSWE
Posted by: sanantone - 09-27-2024, 09:05 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (17)

According to someone on Reddit, WGU is designing an AI degree program. That's not hard to believe and, at this point, we'll probably see degrees in everything before WGU finishes that master's in computer science.

Hello Everyone. 
Need some advice who has completed TESU Biology major. My kid she wanted to quickly finish the TESU Biology degree to apply for admission in MD (MBBS) in Guyana. SHe has about 112 Sophia Credits, about 40 Credits from CUNY with biology and chemistry. But traditional college is taking too long and Guyana only need basic Biology Bachelor degree for MBBS (MD) program. Any suggestion that what and where to look for Bio major in TESU? 
I am NJ resident for 3 decades so i see no issue with in-state fee. Thanks

  Sophia Credits Question and updated plan
Posted by: MCMDF79 - 09-27-2024, 06:40 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (10)

Hello everyone!
I applied to UMPI and just got my acceptance email to begin during Fall session 2
Can anyone share the maximum amount of credits they have achieved in one month through SOphia? (I started Sept 16th and have 2 courses finished so far)
I am not sure I will be able to get to the 90 credits through Sophia before the Fall session begins. 
Also, if I defer my acceptance to begin in Spring, will UMPI still review my transcripts so I know what i'm doing, and what electives I can take to fulfill their requirements?

I am currently taking Bio lab and visual communications. I believe I will need to take intro to ethics to complete all the Gen EDs,  and a bunch of electives to get to 90 credits or more.
Here is what I have so far, updated courses in red 


Your Location: Cailfornia, United States.
Your Age: 45
What kind of degree do you want?: BLS Educational Studies Minor
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have an associate degree on behavioral sciences  From Pasadena City college in CA

These are the equivalencies for transfer to UMPI towards general Ed: 
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

SOPHIA COURSES
Human Biology 95%
Enviromental Sciences 88%

I also have the next that I'm not sure would transfer as electives from my community college

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 (these child development courses don't show up on equivalency website)
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: CLEP Spanish 80


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 (around 4 hr)
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 wanna have a degree to check the box but hopefully in the future achieve a masters and put it to work. 

Thanks!

  Pierpont timelines for 10/4
Posted by: FeFe_Fiona - 09-27-2024, 05:12 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (10)

Long time lurker and since this forum have been so helpful I thought I would post some information I think would be beneficial to those looking to get their AAS BOG from Pierpont. Below is the time line for my partner, friend and mother.  



Friend's timeline : She lives in the states. Her credits are coming from ASU, 2 other RA schools and Sophia. *She didn't understand fully when the information was given to her. She thought she needed ASU in addition to the credit she already have. 


8/10/2024: Application submitted
8/10/2024: Transcript sent via Credly for Sophia, Parchment and through other school that uses Blockchain
8/13/2024: Started ASU Course CIS194
8/15/2024: Emailed tech support as no email and temp password was sent 
8/16/2024: Tech support provided her with information 
9/12/2024 : Also sent Credly transcript to the esprocessing email
9/13/2024: Sophia credits and 1 RA school credits were processed.
9/19/2024: Though she's missing a few credits she submitted her application for graduation hoping they will process the rest of her credits soon
9/20/2024: Sent ASU via Parchment 
9/27/2024: ASU credit processed
**** Still missing Blockchain credit****
**Nothing is showing in student account as far as the fee or her application for graduation, she did go ahead an pre-pay the $350 fee hoping that once they invoice her it will zero out.**




Partner's time line: Partner is international, did Sophia and ASU.

8/18/2024: Attempted to apply ... Even after verifying identity there was some issues with him getting back on to do the application 
8/19/2024: Started ASU CIS194 class 
8/25/2024: Application finally submitted
8/26/2024: Username email
8/26/2024: Temp password email received 
8/28/2024: Email about next steps and where/how to send transcript
8/28/2024: Transcript sent to processing@pierpont.edu (this was the email indicated in the email sent to him.)
9/11/2024: ASU written assignment graded , did course submission 
9/17/2024: Sophia credit processed and showed up in ROAR 
9/17/2024: Reached out to ASU tech support via chat... no "add to transcript button" and case was escalated 
9/18/2024: ASU support updated and said they are working on it but to keep an eye out to for the button to show up in dashboard. Later that day it did show up. However was not able to order transcript.
9/20/2024: Class and credit showed up on "unofficial transcript" 
9/20/2024: Ordered Transcript via Parchment 
9/23/2024: Check ROAR multiple times during the day but finally around  8:55 pm EST it showed credit from ASU was processed
9/23/2024: Sent email along with graduation application to registar cc'd David  
By the looks of it, they are extremely busy so don't sit around waiting to hear back from them.
9/25/2024: Logged in to see that there is an active graduation application dated 9/25/2024 and as well as the $350 fee on the account 

****Will process payment later today****



Mother's timeline:

9/7/2024: Applied to Pierpont 
9/10/2024: Application received email 
9/12/2024: ASU CIS 194 started 
9/13/2024: What to do after applying email but no log in information 
9/13/2024: Reached out via email to Pierpont tech support requesting information for student portal.
9/17/2024: ASU written assignment graded, submitted course completion module 
9/19/2024: Sent Sophia credits to esprocessing@pierpont.com
9/23/2024: Credit processed and showed up in ROAR
9/26/2024: ASU add to transcript button showed up. Took a few hours before it showed up on the unofficial transcript 
9/26/2024: Ordered ASU transcript via Parchment 
9/27/2024: Though missing 1 RA credit, mother submitted the graduation application

*** Thinking to prepay for her graduation as well*** if others have done so, would love to hear your feedback



Key take aways 

  •  I'd say for certain that sending transcripts via esprocessing is much faster as others have mentioned 
  • Any school sending transcript via Blockchain, there might be some delay. I'm not sure why but my niece is also having this issue where Blockchain transcripts are taking longer than the normal methods.
  • When first applying to Pierpont it seems some individuals receive their log in information automatically while others have to reach out to tech support for assistance 
  • As mentioned by others don't keep sending emails... They are busy so chances of getting a response after submitting graduation application isn't guaranteed 
  • Honestly not sure if my friend prepaying the fee is the wisest thing to do. Keeping fingers crossed that something shows up on by Mon/Tue for her.
Good luck to all and thank you to those who've taken their times to post their experiences and assisted others along the way.
