  Warm Reminders for Newcomers Planning to Study on Study.com
Posted by: Epiphany.y - 06-12-2025, 07:05 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - No Replies

1. If you previously registered for a Study.com account but never upgraded to a membership, or if you once subscribed and now want to return to study, it's best to register a new account with a different email. Otherwise, you'll still be limited to taking only 2 exams per month.
 
2. Once you complete a course, the system will automatically transfer the credits to the target university you specified during registration. In this case, you won't be eligible for a refund.
 
3. If you encounter issues and need to contact the Support Team, please be mentally prepared to be patient. It may take a long time to receive a response—even a week or half a month.
 
Don't ask me why I know so much. Right now, I'm hiding in the corner crying alone.

  my TESU prep
Posted by: pluggingalong - 06-12-2025, 06:08 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (8)

It looks like I will be going to TESU for a Liberal Studies degree. There are 2 classes I *must* take at TESU, and 6 more I will take at StC.  

At StC, the first 2 will be English 205 and Sociology 101 (or Geography). The other 4 classes I take at StC need to be Upper Level Liberal Studies classes, and I will be communicating with TESU to determine which ones they will be. My first step is to take the first 2 classes at StC, and then the next 4. The last step is to take the Information Literacy course at TESU, do the Capstone, pay the short-timers fee, and graduate. I have no idea how long this will all take. My guess is 6-9 months.

  General Education Courses on Sophia
Posted by: not4not - 06-12-2025, 02:59 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi there,

I am transferring into TESU from another University, they gave me around 80 credits, but I have a lot of General Education courses to complete.

I am doing the BACS program, and was just wondering, if credits from Sophia transfer in? Specifically these courses:

Written Communication:
ENC-1020: English Composition II - Sophia

Oral Communication:
COM-2090: Public Speaking - Sophia

Diversity Intercultural Literacy:
SOC-1010: Intro to Sociology - Study

Ethical Leadership:
ETH-2200: Ethical Leadership - Sophia

Civic Engagement and Awareness:
POS-1100: US Government - Sophia

Social Sciences:
SOC-2100: Lifespan Development - Sophia

History:
HIS-1140: US History I - Sophia

Social Sciences, History and/or Humanities 6SH Featured Course(s):
Art History - Sophia
Visual Communications - Sophia

I picked these courses based on the Wiki, but I don't know how updated that is, so I just want to make sure they still accept these. 

Thank you!

  I’m Finishing My TESU Degree Without Debt or Burnout : Here’s Exactly How I’m Doing..
Posted by: ColePalmer - 06-12-2025, 11:33 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (22)

Hey guys, just wanted to shed some light into my experience as a student and share my experience. So, I’m on track to finish my TESU degree faster than I ever thought possible, without student loans, and without pulling all-nighters.
Hey everyone! I’ve been quietly working on my TESU degree for a while now, using a mix of transfer credit, self-paced learning, and a lot of trial and error. I figured it’s finally time to share what’s been working for me. Whether you're just starting or feeling stuck in the middle of your journey, I hope this helps make the process a little easier for someone else too. So this thread is going to be all about this stuff. Hope you learn something new from it and for myself too.

  Graduate mathematics credits
Posted by: Coachr21 - 06-11-2025, 09:31 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (11)

Hey everyone I’m in need of some help in finding graduate mathematics credits similar to ND statistics start anytime options. I recently got offered a position at a community college as a adjunct but they said I needed 3 more mathematics graduate courses, they said preference to statistics , calculus, and differential equations but anything coded Math above 500 will do, preferably not math education but will take what I can get. I have graduate credits for mathematics mainly in the Geometry subject area . I also have a bachelors in math, masters in Ed tech and 6 years hs teaching mathematics experience. I need to finish the classes by mid august at the latest.

  Fastest Path to a Master’s: WGU vs. UMPI (Stacking Sophia, and Certs)
Posted by: chrisv - 06-10-2025, 09:48 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on building a fast, affordable path to a master’s degree and wanted to get some thoughts from those who’ve walked this path already. I’ve got a slightly unconventional situation and I'm trying to decide between two options—WGU and UMPI—for the bachelor’s, and ultimately, the master’s.

 My Background
- I’m currently finishing two tech cert programs at a technical college (Ogden-Weber Technical College): one in Software Development, one in Networking & Cybersecurity
- I can bridge those credits via Utah Valley Univesity or Snow College to a transcript that WGU or UMPI would accept
- I plan to use Sophia.org and Study.com to knock out most general education credits (already started)
- Long-term goal: Master’s in IT Management or something similar

My Two Proposed Paths

Option 1: UMPI A.A. in Liberal Studies ➜ WGU B.S. IT ➜ WGU M.S. IT Management
- Use OTech + Sophia + Study.com to complete A.A. at UMPI
- Use that A.A. + certs to transfer into WGU’s BSIT
- Stack certs (A+, Net+, Sec+, etc.) and finish in 2–3 terms
- Roll directly into WGU’s Master’s program

Pros:
- A.A. from a public university looks more traditional/credible
- WGU gives certs + fast bachelor’s
- Master’s is lined up seamlessly after BSIT

Cons:
- More steps: AA > BS > MS
- May still be 2 years start-to-finish

Option 2: Direct WGU BSIT ➜ WGU M.S.
- Skip UMPI entirely
- Transfer Sophia, OTech, and Study.com credits straight to WGU
- Knock out BSIT and certs ASAP
- Transition into WGU M.S. program

Pros:
- Fewer moving parts
- WGU is designed for acceleration
- Finish everything in ~18 months if aggressive

Cons:
- “WGU only” on transcript—some employers might see that as less traditional?
- Missing the “degree-in-hand” milestone of an associate's

My Questions
1. Which route gets me to the master’s fastest and with the least cost?
2. Is the UMPI A.A. worth it for credibility or résumé padding?
3. Do employers really look down on WGU-only paths?
4. Is there any strategic reason to do the AA just to build momentum?

I’ve read tons of posts here where folks get a UMPI degree in 1–2 terms or knock out WGU in record time. I’m trying to follow in those footsteps but don’t want to make an unnecessary detour.

Appreciate any insight—especially if you’ve done either path!

Thanks in advance 
—Chris

  BA History question
Posted by: NapoleonInRags - 06-10-2025, 08:50 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (5)

Thinking of trying to conquer the BA in history. Just wondering does UMPI accept Study.com's Western Civilizations classes or not? On the DF UMPI BA History Degree Plan, it list SL's Western Civilization classes only for credit approval. 

In all this time I've never even taken a Study.com or SL course. Of those two which course provider is easier and quicker? 

Has Degree Forum's UMPI BA History Degree Plan still been currently working smoothly for most students? Or has there been some major changes?
