  Started Woolf Masters in AI [Udacity]
Posted by: Lightorb333 - 03-30-2026, 12:39 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (27)

Loving it so far, clean interface, the videos are downloadable, and it's very organized. The videos usually range from 3 to 10 minutes, though sometimes they hit 20 minutes. 

If you have any questions, let me know! Time is tight right now, so you might have to wait a bit for a reply. 

I started using Udacity to upskill, so I said might as well do the masters program! I didn't do the credit exemption because I wanted to do all the courses.

  Open Universities with Global Security focus (IR/Poli Sci or Criminal Justice)
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 03-29-2026, 10:37 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (15)

I've applied to UNISA's Public Policy and International Affairs program with a research proposal geared towards their Security and Intelligence cluster, but I'm curious what else is out there in this vein. 

O.P. Jindal, for example, only offers this type of degree at the Master's level and Zimbabwe Open University has a Peace and Conflict Master's that may or may not segue into their broad departmental PhD program (Zimbabwe Open University's website is also shoddily designed, and the reputation of the country itself, has been discussed extensively on the sister forum, may be a count against it). There is EUCLID but per another thread its accreditation and history both come across as very sketchy from outside.

  Degree planning advice request
Posted by: outofcomfortzone - 03-28-2026, 05:10 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (8)

Hi all, 

I was hoping to get some advice/thoughts on the path I should take moving forward.   I had previously (after coming here, thank you again for the previous advice) planned to complete a criminal justice degree given my previous schooling.   I had to take a rather lengthy pause due to unforeseen circumstances but I am ready to start back up (today). I have a fine job, but wanted to get a degree to build up my resume for future movement. Due to this being more of a 'check the box' I was rethinking of doing a more general degree that I can get quick/easy.  I have been leaning towards doing UMPI BLS Management, as it seems like a good option for what I am looking for.   If there are better options, I am all ears. 





Your Location: US

Your Age: Mid 30s

What kind of degree do you want?: Possible BLS Management

Current Regional Accredited Credits:

  • AJ 14 Criminal Law
  • AJ 19 Intro into investigation
  • AJ 101 Admin of Justice System
  • AJ 102 Criminal Procedures
  • PHIL 2 Intro into Logic
  • ANTH 101 Intro to Physical Anthropology
  • HED 100 Health and Wellnes
  • PSY 101 General Psychology
  • SOC 101 Intro to Sociology
  • FSN 109 Basic Nutrition for health
  • HIST 119 History of CA
  • HUM 102 World Civ. since 1500
  • CHEM 110 Chemistry and Society (4 credits)
  • ENGL 101 Freshman Comp (4 credits)
  • FILM 102 Hollywood and the American Film

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: N/A

Any certifications or military experience?: No

Budget: Under $5K if possible

Commitments: Full time job, family

Dedicated time to study: 15-20 hrs per week

Timeline: Fast as possible

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: N/A



If UMPI BLS Management is the route, I believe I would need to complete the following for GE (Sophia) :

US Government 
Spanish 
Ethics 
Intro to Stats 
Human Biology 
English comp II (I understand that many don't like the Sophia course, still deciding where to take that) 

I get a little fuzzy on what would be needed to go towards the minor, and which of my current credits would count as electives.  

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Pre- rec for nursing degree planning
Posted by: LadySearchDog - 03-27-2026, 11:49 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Well, I messed up. I need to get all my pre rec for nursing school done ASAP. 
I was mostly going to get it all done by Fall, 2027.  So, I have until then to get:

- Medical terminology -3 credits
- Biology- 4 credits
- College Algebra - 3 credits
- A/P -5 credits
- Nutrition - 3 credits
- Chemistry - 4 credits 
- Statistics- 3 credits
- microbiology - 4 credits
                                             and the hard one to find
-Pathophysiology - 3 credits


I am wanting to go to Hesston Community College in Hesston, Kansas for their Register Nurse Batchlor program Fall 2027. That's 35 credits! And all hard Science and Math classes but nutrition and medical terminology. Is this possible? Should I do Fall of 2028? Where can I get the classes done at. I want no deadlines or start/stop dates. Thanks.

Thanks for any advice and help.

Janine

I know a lot of you have not had good success getting into the program, but I want to thank those of you that mentioned it when it opened the first time.  Last week I completed everything and yesterday received the conferral letter and official transcript showing completion.  I am in Texas which may be why I was able to get into the first group.

This has opened new doors for me at work allowed me to enter new programs along with receiving an extra stipend.

Thanks to some help here on the forums and the facebook group, it was discovered that the second CBE Masters degree at East Texas A&M was announced today. 

Similar to the Master of Education, the MS in Public Safety has 2 concentrations: Disaster Preparedness Emphasis and Corporate Training and Development Emphasis.
https://www.etamu.edu/programs/public-sa...xFX6TrqcFQ


Hopefully the MS in Organizational Leadership is announced soon. 

Looks like we are getting close to being able to add ETAMU to the one stop shop list and even have its own forum.
