I’m considering applying for the online Legal Studies MA program at the University of Illinois Springfield. I recently completed the BAS program at UMPI and a Legal Studies masters program has piqued my interest as it’s very relevant for my current job and my overall professional experience. Has anyone done this program at this particular school? If not at this particular school, what should I look out for with this type of program at any school? I’m also looking at Purdue Global for their MLS program, but something doesn’t sit well with me about this school’s reputation. I know it’s part of Purdue university system, but only since recently. I feel like maybe the degree wouldn’t be respected. Maybe that concern is unfounded. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thx!

Hi, I’ve been searching the forums for a couple of weeks and I’m not sure there is any way for me to chart a degree course because I have no idea how all of my dental assisting credits will be used, or if the AAS would satisfy gen ed anywhere.
I’m most interested in a BLS and I am trying for the 1. Quickest and 2. Easiest in that order of priority.
Thank you for any help anyone can provide

Additional Information: Im looking for a career change; recently out of a job and using this time to work on my bachelor’s degree. I have an interest in elementary education. In my state any bachelor’s degree comes with a route to teaching so I don’t necessarily want to limit my degree to education. Honestly, I just want to try to obtain the quickest (and easiest) bachelor's degree that I can. 
 
Fast and easy are my top priorities. I’m ok at testing but do hate proctored exams (as most do); so other kinds of assessments might be better.

I have seen repeated references on the board to this university offering inexpensive doctoral programs. But I can't find tuition anywhere on the website. Where are people getting the tuition prices?

Hi all, 

This forum is very useful. I found some decent options, but I still need your help. 

I'm now enrolled in 2 masters: WGU AI and machine learning, and UF Innovative aging studies. 

I'm considering something on the interception of these: 

- entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity
- health science, bioinformatics, aging, gerontology,  medical science
- AI, digital health, AI in medicine 

I'm looking for a PhD (not DBA or similar), and it has to be affordable, like 10k/year max (better, less) 

I'm aware of the Bioinformatics UOC, and it seems to be the only choice for now, which I'm considering. 

I would be very thankful for any suggestions. 
Appreciate your help.

Good Afternoon Everybody, 

I am looking for affordable Upper Level UnderGrad or Graduate Spanish Credit that can be started and completed between now and end of July. It has to have the SPAN prefix or equivalent, as my wife has 18 credits but needs 30 total (at least 6 more upper level or graduate to complete her credit requirements to teach Spanish in a local school district, job offer pending the credits to add on the endorsement once credits are complete. I have searched around and either it has been very little with the correct prefix or strict availability or very expensive (which our budget can not currently support). If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I have looked at IDOMA, but it seems most courses are not transcribed as a SPAN prefix. Local CC only have lower level credit available. 

Thanks again for any help!

I’m Good evening! Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My son will need an associates degree for his potential job. The goal is for him to complete as many Sophia/study.com courses his junior and senior year of high school to hopefully apply towards an associates degree. Can someone tell me the lowest priced regionally accredited college that will accept the most transfer credits towards the associates? Thanks so much everyone

Edit: I also read the wiki degree forum page but it looks like the pierpoint wasn’t current

hi everyone. first time posting.
had something weird happen to me.

I enrolled into BSIT at WGU.
Ever since my first day of enrollment I started having paranormal experiences in my house.
Things moving around and strange sounds etc. even my brother heard/saw them.

I accelered thru the BSIT and finished in like 4 months. Everything stopped.

I then enrolled into MSIT and things started again but now they're worse.
I am thinking of dropping out now since I can't even sleep and my brother had a really freaky one and he left home and got his own place.

It's weird cuz I actually wanted to go all the way up to PhD but now I had to stop.

Any ideas?
