I currently have:
70 Credit Hours - Local community college (3 of which are CLEP).  
18 hours of TESU credit in foreign language via ACTFL exam ACE credit.

For TESU degrees, how many hours of classes are required to be completed at TESU?  Is there a requirement for a certain percentage to be upper or lower level?  Does ACE credit count towards this number?

I was looking at the TESU BA in foreign languages specifically since I have a lot of foreign language credit as-is.

Does anyone here remember which Professional Certs from Coursera are accepted by COSC?

Back in January/February when I attended, they did actually accept a few of the certs I took on Coursera's platform, but I wasn't sure if anyone else here has a list of what they actually accept.

Once I get back into my student email and find my degree plan from the General Studies program, I'll post an update of what they accepted.

Part of me is still bound and determined to find a way to degree hack COSC

If you were wondering when we are going to see the electrification of airplanes, the future might already be here. Aerospace companies are exploring a hybrid concept that uses electric motors and small batteries to power the aircraft, while relying on a gas-powered generator to keep them charged.

For example, the new MIT-developed Electra hybrid-electric plane can:

• Take off on an ultra-short runway of just 300 feet (about the size of a football field).
  
• Achieve a range of 1,100 miles.
  
• Carry up to 3,000 lbs of cargo.
  
• Cruise at a speed of 200 mph.
  
• Operate without the need for dedicated ground charging infrastructure.
  

In recent news, Claude announced that they were watermarking their text, and ChatGPT and Google have been doing it as well.

However, these so-called watermarks are quite easy to remove.

This entire situation is the digital equivalent of a classic cat-and-mouse game, much like the historical arms races we've seen with cybersecurity, piracy, and Digital Rights Management (DRM).

Just when I thought this year was already terrible enough with the passing of John Bear, we have lost yet another memorable and universally beloved individual within the education community. For any individual that has had the pleasure of having Dr. Z during their time at UMPI, many will recognize the passion and effort he put into his work, and for providing an exceptional educational experience for both on-campus and YourPace students. I've had the pleasure of meeting him in-person, and his energy and enthusiasm was truly something to behold when it came to discussing about his research interests and the history program at UMPI.

From President Rice:

"Dear Campus Community,

It is with profound sadness that I share news of the passing of Dr. John Zaborney, Professor of History, who passed away today, August 31, after a period of serious illness which he faced with the same determination and fortitude that defined his work as a scholar, colleague, and mentor.  Some of you may have known of his illness; all of us knew how engaged John was, until very recently, in designing, developing, and teaching courses and programs, including the Master of Arts in American Studies that has just completed its initial year.  The guidance and leadership that John provided students and colleagues alike for so long makes his loss especially difficult.  Our thoughts, especially, are with Dr. Kim Sebold, both his life partner and lifetime colleague; who has shown such grace, care, and perseverance these last few months, not just for John, but for his students, and all those with whom he worked.
John joined the UMPI faculty on September 1, 1997, as an Assistant Professor of History. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2004 and to Professor in 2013.  He coordinated the History and Political Science program for many years, up until his passing, and served as its institutional memory through significant disciplinary and institutional change.  He ensured that the humanities would reach ever larger populations of students, even in the most challenging of times, by leading the move to put History and Political Science online and then, in 2020, adding it to UMPI’s YourPace programming, resulting in over 230 total majors last year, making it the largest such program in the entirety of the UMS.

Above all, John was an outstanding and accomplished scholar. His book, Slaves for Hire: Renting Enslaved Laborers in Antebellum Virginia (Louisiana State University Press, 2012), was the first sustained study of its subject, and it was grounded in painstaking research of primary sources, the product of years spent with letters, account books, diaries, and court records. Prevailing scholarship had treated the hiring-out of enslaved people as a marginal practice, but John demonstrated how it worked not to weaken the institution of slavery but to further entrench it — knitting slaveholders and non-slaveholders alike into slavery's economy so thoroughly that Virginia's path toward secession becomes, in his telling, difficult to imagine otherwise. More recently, he had turned to the other laborers of that same world — the working-class men and "plain folk" of pre-Civil War Virginia who left few monuments and fewer papers — and he was at work on that research as a second book through this past year. The scholar and the teacher were never separate people for John: the same conviction animated both, that the past is not a refuge from the present but the only ground on which the present can be understood.

We are so grateful for what John gave to our community and the thousands of students he served during his time with us.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had experience completing the CBE BS in either Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education at ETAMU. If so I was wondering if you could tell me your experiences with how "acceleratable" it is. I already have a previous Bachelors degree and I don‘t have need for the licensure pathway so in your opinion could it be done in 1-2 terms? Also, does anyone know if the Texas Government course is waived with other GE requirements for a second bachelors?
Thanks for all the help!

I wanted to ask, anyone attend California Coast University for their doctorate? Just looking to see whats cheap even if it is Nationally Accredited
