Hey Everyone,

Been working my way through my degree planning thanks to all the amazing posts and resources on this site. Between my transfer credits from years ago and known ACE equivalencies through Study/Sophia/Coursera I am on my way to a solid plan to completing my BS in IT. Obviously I will have to take SOS-1100 (which i just registered for the accelerated version) and Capstone but I have 1 Major Class I am having trouble mapping without having to actually take it at TESU, ITS-3400: Wireless and Mobile Networking. 

Anyone know of an equivalency or replacement that I might be able to qualify otherwise without taking that class at TESU? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am about to finish my second Masters degree from UMPI and I'm looking into Purdue University Global doctor of education in leadership and education.

I'm trying to find more info out about the courses before I decide though. The website has minimal information.
They are 10 week courses.
Can you take more than 1 at a time?
It also says something about getting credit for 30 credits if your Masters degree was in a similar subject but once again, no specifics given.
Looking for info from someone who has done it:
1) How many courses can you take at once?
2) Are the courses self paced like UMPI?
3) How much busy work is each course on average?
4) Is there a dissertation? And if so, are you allowed to do a virtual defense or do you have to go in person?

Thanks

Dallas Christian College offers an MA in Language Development and Translation and an MA in Multicultural Engagement in CBE format. 

Program costs are $450 per term plus $200 per credit.  I didn’t see readily how long the terms are.  Programs are 35-37 credits each. 

Dallas Christian is nationally accredited by ABHE. 

Elmwood Institute is now the Frontier Institute of Technology at frontiertech.edu. As their short-form name they use Frontier. Let’s avoid calling them FIT, already used by the Florida Institute of Technology, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and others.

Frontier continues Elmwood’s degree programs. The Master of Leadership and Management (MLM) is still relatively very low-priced, but its price is up since launch. Tuition is $1800, plus a $50 per term tech fee and a $150 graduation fee. The BS in Data Science and BS in Software Engineering cost approximately $100 per credit. All are semester-based.

Frontier’s website newly emphasizes AI and pitches like “every Frontier student graduates with a venture.” Their Global Skills Academy will offer non-credit courses on AI, data, and entrepreneurship (“Founder’s Academy”).

Frontier continues Elmwood’s national accreditation from the Distance Education Accrediting Commission.

Keystone College, a regionally accredited private non-profit in La Plume, Pennsylvania, is now offering its Master of Business Administration in a competency-based education format, self-paced and subscription-priced, in addition to its existing on-campus and semester-based online formats, with courses starting in the Fall 2026 semester in August.

Six concentrations are available: Accounting, Finance, Health Systems Management, Leadership (with HR and organizational courses), Marketing, and Project Management. The MBA consists of nine core courses and three concentration courses.

In the competency-based format, “Courses must be taken sequentially. All competencies in each course must be met before progressing to the next course.”

CBE tuition is $5,000 per 16-week semester. “Most students complete the program in two or three semesters.” Start dates are in August, December, and April.

Prerequisites for the CBE format include five years professional work experience and a bachelor’s with 3.0 GPA. An applicant whose bachelor’s is not in business or related might be asked to complete undergraduate courses or equivalents in introduction to business or management, economics, and accounting.

The graduate catalog indicates up to 9 semester hours (3 courses) total may be awarded for transfer credit and/or prior learning assessment, granted before initial acceptance and enrollment at Keystone. Minimum B grade and seven year recency for transfer credit.

Keystone College is a non-profit college with about 1000 students based on a two-site traditional campus in the countryside near Scranton. It was founded in 1868 as a private preparatory high school, then became a private junior college in 1934, four-year in 1998, and master’s-level in 2014.

Keystone’s finances and accreditation were precarious during 2024 until late 2025, resolved by its merger into the Washington Institute for Education And Research, a well-funded charity founded by businessman Ahmed Alwani. Alwani was previously president of Virginia International University turned Fairfax University of America, a nationally accredited institution (ACICS) which closed in 2024. He’s also founder and president of the New Lines Institute think tank and publisher of New Lines Magazine, both focused on international relations in the Middle East.

In February 2026 Keystone’s regional accreditor, the MSCHE, removed the Show Cause status on its accreditation, which returned Keystone to normal Accredited status.

Keystone has undergraduate programs in business with specialized accreditation from the IACBE but this accreditation doesn’t currently extend to the MBA.

Hello, as the title says, im looking for the fastest MBA and M.ed I can complete. Willing to spend whatever price nessisray. Thank you for your help!

I received my evaluation from TESU. I am confused on why certain areas are not fulfilled. I only expected everything except for 6 of 8 of the core psych degree, Info Lit, Capstone and one RA to be incomplete.

I think they did not receive my study.com transcript before the evaluation. But my Sophia credits seem to not all be applied; I'm more concerned about this.

For A. INTEL & PRAC SKILLS it says 1 of 4 completed, but it shows they accepted my Eng 1 and 2 from Sophia, and I am only missing Communications and Info Lit. So this means they are not accepting Workplace Communication from Sophia, correct?

Do I have to take Public Speaking and Political Science?

I thought I had Intro to World Religions w/ Sophia, if I complete this now, will that count toward Intellectual & Practical Skills?

If I take and pass any HSK or TOPIK exams, will that count for any credits?

I plan to register for July Capstone
I am trying to graduate December 2026.

5 Smart Tips for Choosing a College and Major in the AI Era
https://www.timesceo.com/5-smart-tips-fo...he-ai-era/

Quote:Students across the country are making similarly evolving calculations as artificial intelligence reshapes how they think about majors, careers and the value of college itself. A new Lumina Foundation-Gallup survey of more than 3,500 students pursuing bachelor’s or associate degrees found that 47% had considered changing majors because of AI, either “a great deal” or a “fair amount.” The most likely to have considered it were those in tech fields, with 70% having given it that level of thought. The least likely to ponder a change? Students studying the natural sciences and training for the health care professions, which not so coincidentally have been the fastest growing employment fields recently.

I just noticed the MacBook Air price dropped $200 from where it normally is. In an era of high RAM, memory, and video card prices, this might be the best deal we see for a while.
