I know there have been some questions regarding TESU accepting Sophia's Introduction to Sociology: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration for the Diversity Intercultural Literacy requirement. Some have said that it transferred in a way that did not fulfill the Diversity requirement and they had to appeal. I just transferred this Sophia class and found out today that it came in as SOC1100 but was automatically applied to the Diversity requirement and fulfilled it. I did not have to ask, they just did it. Just putting it out there in case it helps anyone.

Hello everyone,

I'm Vishal from Texas, and I'm at a bit of a crossroads with my education. After taking a long break from academics, I jumped back into my bachelor's degree in 2023 and I'm excited to graduate this fall, in 2024. My next goal? Diving into an MBA program. But I need a bit of help choosing the right place.

Here’s what I’m hoping to find in an MBA program:

• Basics About Me:
  • Where I'm From: Texas
    
  • Academic Journey: Dropped out in 2001, back at it since 2023, graduating soon (Fall 2024)!
    
• My MBA Wishlist:
  
  1. Program Focus: General MBA
     
  2. School Location: Must be in the USA
     
  3. Accreditation: Needs AACSB accreditation
     
  4. Duration: Around 12 months would be perfect
     
  5. Learning Format: Fully online, flexible for any time zone (night or day)
     
  6. Budget: Hoping to keep it under $20,000
     
  7. Exam Proctoring: I’d rather not have someone watching over me during exams; compatibility with Respondus Browser is okay, since it’s already set up on my work computer.
     
• Additional Considerations:
  • Work Life: My job requires a lot of travel, but I do have access to a US-based VPN.
    
  • Potential Choices: I’m eyeing Lamar University, LSU, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Texas A&M International University since they seem flexible with the proctoring requirements.
    

• Do the universities on my list make sense for my situation?
  
• Does anyone have experience with these universities?
  
• Any other university recommendations that might fit my unique needs?
  

I did some lurking on posts from 2023 where some members reported that Study.com allows you to take 5 exams per billing cycle. However, after speaking with Study.com customer support, I was informed that you may only "take up 5 exams per month". However, they didn't emphasize if it is a calendar month, or a rolling monthly period based on when you took the first test of the five. 

Does anyone have recent experience with this so I can get some clarity?

Is it:

5 exams per calendar month
5 exams per 30-day rolling period
5 exams per billing cycle

Hello all! 

Recently stumbled across this forum whilst looking into online degrees and would love to get a good understanding of my options for an accelerated CS degree. 

I'm currently enrolled in UoPeople, doing Computer Science but heavily dislike the discussion forum part of the courses. Looking for an alternative university that is quite flexible, isn't too expensive and doesn't rely as heavily on peer assessment as UoPeople does. I'm more inclined to go for a US university however I do have British and a European passport if that gives me any more options?

Also, would it be recommended to focus on accumulating credits on Sophia/Study.com and then apply to Universities or do these at the same time?

I apologize in advance if I haven't adhered to any of the protocols of this forum as I am completely new. 

Thanks a lot!

I applied for admission in st Louise community college from Bangladesh. They sent me email with my stlcc id saying that "student id number (A number) is sent in a different email". but I didn't get any email. When I sent email to them they said I would get it in a separate email. Then I waited, checked spam and when I got no email, I again emailed them. They said I need to go to the campus in person.what to do?

Hi there

Married, sole bread winner, 34, two kids in North Carolina. Have a good career currently but thinking of pursuing my dream of being a therapist/trauma specialist. I have no education at the moment. WGU has a bachelors of psychology now. It feels scary to consider making the leap, the investment, and doing something new. My kids are young so I want to enjoy the time with them as much as possible. Is it better to pursue knocking out the degree at an accelerated rate or taking one class at a time and going the long game? Could I take one class at a time that is condensed?

Hey guys, recently found out about the forum and was wondering what you would do in my situation. I took a bunch of clep and dsst tests in 2018 and wanted to get a degree as fast as possible. Just finding out about Sophia and WGU so would be curious on any recommendations for those programs as well.

Hello! I’m trying to find a history UL class that doesn’t have a ton of milestones, and these are the classes I have left to pick from. Thank you!
HTY 313, HTY 318, HTY 401, HTY 377, HTY, 439, HTY 439, HTY 458, HTY 489. 

Hello everyone.  I've been a long time lurker and am finally getting my act together to pursue something that I have wanted to do for a long time.  Specifically to get a math/CS degree.

I've attached a .pdf with an outline of what what I currently have planned.  

Some background first though.  I have a BS in geology from the 1990s.  It is from an RA state university in California.  I also have well over 100 credits from a couple of California community colleges.  Because of this, I am not worried about fulfilling the general education requirements.  If something does come up, I know that there are a lot of resources here to determine what to CLEP or do for any GE requirements.  

I have the following Math Courses
College Algebra
Trigonometry
PreCalculus
Calulus I, II
Non-linear Algebra
Number Theory
Statistics
Tests and Measurements
A few (9 credits) UL Math Education classes from when I thought about being a math teacher.


I plan to take the following 
Linear Algebra
Calculus III
Discrete Math

I am curious about being able to take statistics classes at statistics.com and apply them for the math major.  Can this be done?  Or are they only for the data science majors.  I am specifically interested in things like multivariate statistics, regression analysis and several other courses there.  Is there a list for what classes at statistics.com transfer to at TESU?

I have several CS credits that are quite old in Fortran and BASIC.  I doubt that these are valuable anymore.  More recently I have done the following
Python Programing
SQL 
Intro to databases
Intro to analytics

I plan to take mostly study.com courses to manage my budget for the remainder of the CS courses as detailed on the wiki at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ience_Plan

I have also completed two ACE accredited certificates on Coursera that give credit at TESU according to the wiki at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera 

What I am curious about is how two majors works at TESU.  Specifically CS and Math.  Both courses indicate that you can include natural science, math, and computer science as electives.  How many of these electives can overlap between math and CS?  Do they count anything from my first degree?  

A few final thoughts.  I am semi-retired and this is a passion project that doesn't have a large budget.  I have seriously thought about getting a masters in statistics when I fully reach retirement age.  It'd be fun to teach statistics at a community college in retirement!  Getting the BA in math and CS would enable me to pursue an MS in statistics.  

Thank you in advance for taking your time to answer my questions.  I've tried to research as much as I could; but I recognize that I will need some of your expertise too.

I want to finish my masters in ESOL (or TESOL) and I have completed 6 classes (18 credits). Can anyone tell me an online college or University that will accept 14 year old credits?
