Hi everyone , anyone with experience with the ACE Ed.d dissertation know if it has to be an IRB approved case or is a content analysis / project a possible option, the admissions person I spoke to had no idea what IRB was.

Hi all I posted the other day about doctoral programs but I am also interested in cheap accredited, (preferably regional)programs for mathematics , ELA , computer science, Sports management and possibly history even. 

I have a bachelors in mathematics with a 3.6 and a masters in education technology with a 3.9 both from NJCU. Also have a STEM certificate from them as well.

I am canadian(if that matters)
Look for a fast and easy degree to complete ideally no math(Its hard to self teach math).

I have 0 ace credits and I am looking to ideally take them all on one platform if possible.
I read some threads on here and some people have said the ETAMU orginazational leadership is relatively easy to complete once you have the full transfer credits done.

Im looking for advice on alternatives if anyone has any.

Anyone here had any experience with GCAS? I am interested in their MA in Philosophy.

Hey everyone, I was trying to decide on a doctorate to obtain as I continue my education. I currently have a bachelors degree in mathematics, GPA 3.6, completed alternate route program and have extra graduate mathematics courses. I just finished a masters in Ed Tech, 3.9 GPA, both at my local state school. They have a ED.D program for Ed Tech Leadership but even with a 20 percent discount they are offering it is still roughly 7K per semester for 9 semesters. I looked around for regionally accredited degrees in a similar field as my goal is to go from highschool teacher and adjunct professor to full time professor or a director of some manor. The UCA PH.D in Change Leadership, ACE’s ED.Ds ,  Purdue globals Ed.D, UNG Higher Ed Leadership Ed.d, KU and Arizona Higher Ed Ed.ds were the ones that I have looked into. If there are other programs with the lowest possible cost that would be looked good upon for university employment in the future please let me know open to all options, just need to make a decision soon. Thanks ahead for your help!

I was wondering if anyone has completed one of Universidad Azteca's master's programs (grado propio). 

What learning materials did they provide? How were the assessments? Was it worth the money?

Hi ya'll I've been lurking through the forum for a while. I'm starting completely from scratch with college and I want to obtain a Psychology degree from UMPI. As I was looking around, I heard that UMPI made some changes to some classes that could be transferred into UMPI. I'm a little confused and was wondering if it was still viable or what pivots I could make. Thank you!! Ideally I want to use mostly Study.com because of the new changes they made. I also use Sophia as of right now. (taking Art History 1 and US History 1) 

Here's a degree plan I found that I was wondering was viable??:

What are the advantages of taking the $498 edX Information Literacy for the BACS?

I am guessing lower overall degree cost?

Hello everyone , I’m currently trying to plan my bachelor’s (mainly in Computer Science) and need serious advice with plan for it. Below are my details : 


Your Location: India
Your Age: 21 (turning 22 in August)
What kind of degree do you want?
- Bachelor’s in Computer Science (followed by a Master’s which you can recommend from where to do), or open to other suggested fields. 
- 12th-grade subjects: Physics, Math, Chemistry, Computer Science (Python), English (Non medical path).
- Main Plan: Enroll in an Indian offline or online Computer Science degree under NEP 2020 syllabus (implemented in 2024) for July 2025 session ; open to suggestions.
- Backup Plan: Either earn credits  (ACE credit courses, CLEP tests, etc.), then transfer and complete ~1 year or less on-campus in the U.S. to finish the bachelor’s later; or complete a fully online U.S. degree quickly through credit-earning.In India, dual degrees are allowed only if one is offline and the other is online.
- Goal: Globally recognized, reputable, accredited U.S. degree (valid internationally, including India).
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
- Completed 40 credits  ~1 year (July 2023–2024) of BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) in India which is a 3 year degree, old syllabus.
- Main subjects studied: C++, Computer Organization, Web Programming, Mathematical Statistics, C language, Computer Fundamentals.
- Dropped out due to pressure from studies and attending classes difficult to join 2nd year as syllabus has changed need a formal inquiry but it is challenging to study old syllabus as every college/university teach new syllabus now.

One thing I like about India’s new syllabus is the multiple entry and exit option — Certificate (1 year), Diploma (2 years), Bachelor’s Degree (3 years), Honours/Research (4 years) — with the flexibility to re-enter the program within three years after you exit and degree must be completed within a maximum of seven years from the original date of admission.

- No WES evaluation; unsure if credits transfer internationally.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Certifications or Military Experience: No
Budget: Estimated $8,000–$12,000 USD; open to more affordable options if it is reputed.
Commitments:
- Family at home; no spouse or children.
- Not Employed; full-time student. 
Dedicated Study Time:
- ~22–28 hours/week (3–4 hours evenings, 6–8 hours weekends); can increase if needed.
Timeline: Prefer to complete the U.S. bachelor’s quickly, ideally within 1–2 years or less if it is possible, since Indian degrees have a fixed minimum duration (typically 3-4 years of study).
Tuition Assistance / Reimbursement: No (self-funded by parents)

Have heard about lots of people doing degree from WGU ( Western Governors University ) but looks like they dont accept International student. 

Additional Preferences / Notes:
- Please provide a clear roadmap or checklist (spreadsheet style) to track the online courses or offline tests I need to take, the full process for storing credits, and how to transfer them — basically, a step-by-step plan for completing the degree efficiently.
- Aware of English proficiency test (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo); unsure if SAT/ACT is required but can take test if it is necessary.
- Want a realistically achievable degree — not necessarily easy, but not overly complex.
- Strongly prefer credit-earning (ACE credit course, CLEP test, etc.) to speed up.
- Love programming (Python, C++); want to learn Java.
- Enjoys mathematics (or any subject realistically speaking) when explained in a simple, easy-to-understand way. 
- Open to extra certificates or credentials alongside degree.
- Curious about best specialization (software dev, data science, cybersecurity, AI/ML).
- Want to know if degree enables international work or work from India preferably remote for now.
- Prefer clear, structured learning: guidebooks, video lectures, assignments, practicals, with straightforward easy materials from college/university.
- Hesitant to join offline college/university as i will be older 3-4 years from my peers and it will be difficult to fit in as i have mental issues of my own but want to pursue higher education at any cost. 

Thank you to anyone who reads and helps!

If you complete some of these certificates on Coursera, how do you transfer them to TESU. Is it through Credly?
