  Need help with the UMPI changes
Posted by: VBStan4 - 05-06-2025, 12:20 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (3)

Your Location: Netherlands
Your Age: 20
What kind of degree do you want?: CS or IT related
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: No. I'll take them once I build a degree plan.
Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible.
Commitments: I work with my dad part-time, but I can study full-time.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No. All costs would be paid by me.


My initial desire was to pursue a CS degree, but I liked the UMPI BABA PM+IS degree and thought of doing it. But I heard there are some changes to it. So I've a few questions:
1. What changes should I consider in the BABA PM+IS degree plan on the Wiki?
2. Should I still pursue the BABA or switch to BLS? My only concern is that I think these changes might affect other degrees as well.
3. Should I consider a different degree altogether?
4. With UoP receiving RA, should I consider them as well?

  Brainfuse Online Tutoring & Writing Lab
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 05-06-2025, 08:03 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - No Replies

Free access to the Brainfuse online tutoring platform is bundled with some Sophia courses, some public library memberships — I’ve seen Brainfuse at public libraries in the US and Canada — and with active student status at some colleges.

I recently asked the Brainfuse Writing Lab to review my draft written assignments for Sophia Spanish I and II. Each time a real human college Spanish tutor, AnneliesseL or MatthewMcD, replied the same or next day each time with several helpful and actionable comments. Some comments addressed specific points such as this word or that sentence, some general points about my submission.

Brainfuse also offers live online help subject to tutor availability, and the Live Help section on the logged-in student homepage also provides the ability to message a written question with an optional attachment to receive an asynchronous response from the next available tutor in a subject.

This page shows Sophia courses that Brainfuse tutoring is available for.

Using an online writing center is a little outside my usual modus operandi. But Spanish is outside my usual wheelhouse, so it merited to try something different.

Recommended!

  Accounting: Deciding between TESU, UMPI, And WGU
Posted by: anon_grape - 05-06-2025, 03:59 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Hi all. I am looking to change my career to accounting and get a bachelors of accounting degree in at most 6 months. I need help degree planning.

I already have around 60 credits that can transfer into any degree program and wave my general education requirements. I heard about the changes at UMPI, So I don't know if that's the best option for speed and finances.

I want to spend at most 5K and about 6 to 7 months getting the degree. Which one is the best option between UMPI, TESU and WGU? My issue with WGU is that it's pass and fail and that I need a grade point average for the graduate schools and the graduate programs and accounting that I want to apply to. However, after looking through the forum diligently, I've seen that quite a few people have mentioned that the education quality for the accounting degree at UMPI is lacking.

Since UMPI gutted most of the transferable ACE credits, would TESU be a better option so that I can take advantage of study.com and Sofia.com and transfer those credits? Does TESU allow for credit city transfer during the term? Or do they have to all be transferred in before the start of the ter?

  Degree Forum - Degree Planning Tool
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 05-05-2025, 11:07 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Just wondering, anyone got energy and time on their hands this summer?  
Anyone interested in creating something like this or a similar tool?  

But for the main degrees and/or institutions that we recommend?
I wonder how long it would take to generate the code and host it online...

Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...nning-tool

Note: There was a spreadsheet on the board, someone had created one that would auto populate when you selected the degree and institution.
I can't seem to find that post or thread with the spreadsheet link, I really liked that spreadsheet, it was awesome, but now a little outdated...

Basically, I locked the previous master thread as people mentioned they couldn't view the posts.
There may have been some issues with deleted posts causing this phenomenon.

Anyways, let's keep this new thread clean and neat. Yes, that means you too!
Hopefully, for everyone posting, please don't keep quoting the previous posts unless it's really needed.

Oh, here's the old master thread for reference, if you don't log into the forum, the thread should work flawlessly.

  Adding courses after deadline
Posted by: Armadillo1 - 05-05-2025, 10:06 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

Just FYI to everyone UMPI changed their rule on adding courses. The calendar date for last day to add courses is a hard deadline no exceptions will be made. I learned this the hard way.
