Did anybody transfer this to TESU yet? I would be very interested in the equivalency. Perhaps, someone who is currently enrolled could ask TESU to preplan it?

The University of West Alabama offers the following 127-credit bachelor’s degrees in a competency-based format:

• BS in Early Childhood/Elementary Education (P-3/K-6)
  
• BS in Special Education: Collaborative Teacher
  

I previously completed the M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction there and overall had a really positive experience. I will say, the program was writing-heavy and definitely challenging at times, but it pushed me academically and ended up being worth it. The competency-based format fit me well, and I was able to finish in two terms (could've finished in one).

Now I’ve started the M.S. in IT - Product Management track. I started the program before the product management track officially rolled out, so my path isn’t as clean as it could've been. Because of that, it’ll probably take me a bit longer than the one term I originally planned, but I’m still aiming to finish within two terms.

I also decided to pause my doctorate program, as I don't have the time to dedicate. I do plan to go back and finish it after this degree. I know getting multiple degrees at the same level might not make the most sense on paper, but I genuinely enjoy the challenge. But I will keep you all up to date on how this program goes.

Excelsior to offer a DBA. The release says it will include two residential sessions, so perhaps not of interest to many of us on DF. If the tuition is at or above that of their MBA ($715/credit hour) it certainly won't be for me. But I'm sure it will be a good fit for some.

Hi guys, I started redoing my study plan for UMPI (plans changed from TESU to UMPI due to financial reasons), and I have completed some courses at Metropolia university. From what I know (so far), TESU only accepts credits from Metropolia. Had anyone tried to transfer credits to UMPI (not Finnish lang)? Or any other EU university transcript (I'm currently enrolled in Italian university, but the major is different from what I wanted to take at UMPI)?

Probably my question is too stupid yet I got lost a bit after scrolling the forum and Miraheze wiki... thank you guys anyway!

UPD: so I can do WES as a part of NACES evaluator. But probably everything will be LL

Hi all,


Back to degree planning after a lengthy hiatus... now working on daughter's degree instead of my own.  I have SO.MANY.QUESTIONS.

Do people still take CLEPs and DSSTs or should I be looking more at filling DD's degree plan with classes like Sophia or Straighterline?   Do those offer Upper Level?  How are people getting their UL credits these days?    How long are people taking to finish a class on average?  It's been so long since I took my Straighterline class I can barely remember it!


Just wondering how much things have changed and what I should be doing differently to help DD get her degree.   I'm still working on trying to even figure out the degree plan for her since my skills at degree plan creation are obsolete.   I would welcome any tips or advice that you have to get started with the new landscape (new to me) where "testing out" is no longer the main thing.  (OR is it??)

I really appreciate any and all help or comments.   Thanks in advance.
