  University of the People claims that Simone Biles is one of their students
Posted by: question - 05-30-2025, 05:11 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (19)

From uopeople.edu/about/worldwide-recognition/press-releases/simone-biles-joins-education-revolution/ :

This week marks the first week of the school term when Biles, who begins her bachelor's degree in business administration, will be joining over 12,000 students who have enrolled in the university from more than 200 countries and territories around the world.


And there's more:

Joining her daughter, Simone's mother, Nellie Biles, has also commenced her studies at UoPeople, beginning the MBA program.


So, according to the University of the People, Simone Biles and her mother have been studying at the University of the People for seven years.

The page uses the usual triumphalist tone found in all the advertisements published by this online school, but it’s easy to verify that most of the claims are false.

One question remains: do Simone Biles and her mother actually study there or not?

  Does the Study.com College Saver Plan only include 2 exams per month?
Posted by: Epiphany.y - 05-30-2025, 01:06 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello everyone


Recently, I recharged $235 to join the College Saver Plan. However, I found that I can only take the exam twice a month. If I want to take more exams, I need to pay an additional $70 each time. I need to take more than 10 courses, and this will cost a fortune. Can I suspend my account after taking two courses each time and re - activate it a month later? Or do you have any better suggestions?HRecently, I recharged $235 to join the College Saver Plan. However, I found that I can only take the exam twice a month.

Hi everybody,

the University of Turku (Finland) offers some free, completely online, and (mostly) self-paced courses in English.

Bear in mind that these are RA credits when you transfer them in.

You can find the course catalog here: https://www.utu.fi/en/open-university-studies/courses

Some of the courses are already over, some will conclude in July, 2025, and others will start in spring 2026.

  Arcada University: Big Data Analytics (Specialisation studies) Master-level 30 ECTS
Posted by: animuscerebri - 05-28-2025, 03:48 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi everybody,

I just stumbled upon another interesting Finnish University of Applied Sciences called Arcada University.

They currently offer a Masters-level specialization studies program in Big Data Analytics (https://www.arcada.fi/en/study-arcada/co...-analytics):

"This programme will cover the following subjects.

- Introduction to Machine Learning and Data-driven design, 5 ECTS
- Machine Learning and Data Mining, 5 ECTS
- Visualisation and Narration with Data, 5 ECTS
- Deep Learning and Foundation Models, 5 ECTS
- Cloud Computing and Data Engineering, 5 ECTS
- AI-assisted Analytical Service Design, 5 ECTS

The curriculum consists of six courses (5 ECTS credits each) that focus on how to program intelligent services using analytical and machine learning methods. Each of the courses are thought through solving programming problems were the students can make use of Arcada’s Nvidia-sponsored Big Data Lab or computational resources from the Finnish Supercomputing Center (CSC). These tools will enable students to learn how to make use of GPU-accelerated models for processing big data."


The price is 600€, which is really a steal considering the quality of the courses. Additionally, if you wanna transfer them into another grad school, you can get pretty inexpensive, high quality Masters-level credits.

The specialization is 30 ECTS, which will at least convert to 15 US creds (Masters) or potentially more.

However, the application deadline is almost gone: May 31, 2025

I think the coolest part of this program is that you can make use of resources, such as Finnish Supercomputing Center to conduct your projects and experiments regarding your studies. That alone is a steal considering you basically buy a flat rate to use these pretty expensive resources.

  Fast and Cheap Options from IEE (ENEB/UI1) Graduate Certificate Credits to a Master’s
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 05-28-2025, 11:14 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (17)

As the title says, any?

I’m hoping to find something:

Affordable (ideally under $5,000)

Fast (flexible or accelerated options would be awesome)

Online

Does anyone know of good programs or universities that might work for this? Appreciate any tips!

  QUESTION RE UMPI AND SOPHIA COURSEWORK
Posted by: Tricialk - 05-28-2025, 11:06 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (12)

I am wanting to be a teacher. However, I dont care about going the traditional route because my district allows you to have a bachelors in anything and put you through an alternative route to get your license. My question is, what degree here is the fastest way for me to get my degree? I am interested in psychology, but Ive read its long and tedious. I went to WGU but hated it. I will attach the classes i completed there if someone would be so kind as to tell me what classes i should take on sophia and elsewhere before registering for classes at umpi to make this a quick process. Thanks in advance. I earned 36 credits there. 

EDUC D090 The School as a
Community of Care-3

EDUC D097 Educational Foundations-2

ENGL D269 Composition: Writing
with a Strategy-3

COMM D268 Introduction to
Communication: Connecting with Others-3 

PHIL D265 Critical Thinking:
Reason and Evidence-3

MATH D125 Mathematics for
Elementary Educators I-3

EDUC D094 Educational Psychology
and Development of
Children and Adolescents-4

ENGL D270 Composition: Successful
Self-Expression-3 

HIST D267 US History: Stories of
American Democracy-3

SCIE C683 Natural Science Lab-2

EDUC D096 Fundamentals of Diverse
Learners-4

HUMN D198 Global Arts and
Humanities-3


Also, will all 36 of those credits transfer to UMPI or will they only take some?
