Hi everyone,
I'm in my late 30's, been in IT for almost 20 years, and currently work as a supervisor in an IT department.  I would like opinions on the best route to finish my Bachelor's degree.  I'm probably not going to reach retirement due to my disability but would like to try to keep working up the ladder and hoping checking this box will help.  I'm really looking for the path for least resistance since my energy is zapped easily.  I tried UMPI 1-2 years ago but didn't even get to finish a class when I got sick.  IT degree would be nice but not necessary.

I hope to finish up ~10 more Sophia classes this month.

This Israeli diploma mill, disguised as an American university, keeps falling into ridicule: I received a "job offer" to become a spammer, which they call an "ambassador". The job essentially consists of bombarding internet forums with contributions or advertising messages, even fabricated ones, and even automatically generated by AI.

The best spammer of the month gets a prize of $100, to be used as credit on social media (Instagram, if I understand correctly).

In reality, $100 for being a spammer (and only given to the "best") is very little, but it may appeal to people in the poorer countries of the world. This tactic has already been used before, as seen in this discussion https://groups.google.com/g/it.comp.lang...SxKRR05nAM where some Indian or African spammers joined in to say that the school would have a "top faculty". The only problem is, it actually doesn’t have any faculty!

Instead of recruiting spammers, couldn't they invest in qualified teaching staff? No, because the so-called "university of the people" is a machine created to suck money, and qualified teachers would cost money. Better to recruit underpaid spammers.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice and maybe some personal experiences.
I am international applicant and i’m really interested in continuing my education, but I don’t have a high school diploma or GED . However, I heard that University of the People (UoPeople) may allow students to bypass the high school requirement if they transfer in at least 24 semester credits from sophia, study.com or other platforms. This sounds like a great option for me.
But I’m also skeptical — does this pathway actually work in practice?
Has anyone here successfully enrolled or transferred into UoPeople (or a similar university) without a high school diploma, using college credits instead?
Also, I’ve emailed UoPeople’s admissions team multiple times, but I haven’t received any response yet. So I’m turning to this forum in hopes that someone has gone through this and can clarify a few things:

• Is the 24-credit transfer option real and still active?
  
• Beside UoPeople are there any other universties with such option?
  
• Any potential red flags or problems I should be aware of?

Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: My parents are willing to pay for my bachelor's at my local University, so anything less than that is a bonus. 
Commitments: I homeschool and my schedule is pretty open. 
Dedicated time to study: 6 hours/day
Timeline: I'd really like to enter the ASL interpretation program at my local community college in fall 2027, but I'd like to enter it with a bachelor's instead of going through the 2 years for my associate's
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: My parents

Thank you so much for any insight you can give! I'm open for any degree, but am not particularly math/tech inclined so I'd probably generally avoid those paths. I started off by using Smarterby1Degree, but I'm learning that there may be quicker, cheaper, easier paths so I'd love any suggestions you can give.

Has anyone transferred the Sophia course: "Health, Fitness, and Wellness" to TESU and what did it transfer in as?

Thank you

From uopeople.edu/about/worldwide-recognition/press-releases/simone-biles-joins-education-revolution/ :

This week marks the first week of the school term when Biles, who begins her bachelor's degree in business administration, will be joining over 12,000 students who have enrolled in the university from more than 200 countries and territories around the world.


And there's more:

Joining her daughter, Simone's mother, Nellie Biles, has also commenced her studies at UoPeople, beginning the MBA program.


So, according to the University of the People, Simone Biles and her mother have been studying at the University of the People for seven years.

The page uses the usual triumphalist tone found in all the advertisements published by this online school, but it’s easy to verify that most of the claims are false.

One question remains: do Simone Biles and her mother actually study there or not?
