  Online MBA - ACE American College of Education - any experiences?
Posted by: effexbiz - 03-12-2025, 04:38 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi all,
I was thinking of starting an online MBA last year, and I'm continuing research now. I work 2 jobs that I love but are time costly lol so online (asynchronous classes in particular as my "off" hours are sometimes odd) is a must for me. Money is another huge factor. My dream would be to keep it under $15k as I'll be going out of pocket. 

I'm familiar with WGU and LSUS; those are two I'm keen on. Someone just sent me a message that the American College of Education has an MBA for just over $8k USD. Anyone have experiences with this school? I saw some reddit posts that said ACE can be geared toward teachers; I'm not a teacher but I work in a somewhat similar realm with kids books.

  Study.com placement tests and quizzes
Posted by: vetvso - 03-12-2025, 01:40 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (3)

Has anyone ever mapped how the Study.com placement tests are connected to interconnecting courses? I have noticed that the tests do impact other courses within similar fields. It also appears that if you complete a quiz, it might create a similar outcome.

  Coursera Certificates for Upper Level Credits Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies?
Posted by: newdegree - 03-12-2025, 12:14 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (4)

I couldn't find the answer to a random but good question: Has anyone had success using Coursera certificates to satisfy upper-level requirements at TESU, specifically in the Liberal Studies program? I see some certificates grant 300 & 400 level credits at TESU but can't seem to find any information which ones will be accepted or if they have been accepted at all towards the degree. 

300 & 400 level credits:
Google Cloud Cybersecurity Professional Certificate : CYB-4210 Cybersecurity Risk Analysis & Mgmt
Google Cloud Data Analytics Professional Certificate: CIS-3110 Database Management, CLD-4300 AI, Machine Learning, and Big Data in the Cloud, and CYB-4500 Cloud Computing
Google Project Management Certificate: MAN-437 Effective Project Management, MAN-438 Mastering Project Management
IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations Specailzation: DSI-399 Special Topics in Data Sci/Analyt.

Information TESU Additional Fees + $348 Minimum
Posted by: Ares - 03-11-2025, 05:34 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (1)

When TESU degrees are discussed here I usually only see the $3,354 Edison Accelerate Fee (formerly Residency Waiver Fee) mentioned.

These are some additional fees to keep in mind;

$50 - Application Fee
$298 - Graduation Audit Fee

2.95% - Convenience Fee for credit and debit card transactions.

So plan for at an additional minimum of $348 to complete your degree.

  UofPeople and Eastern University
Posted by: Flightrsk82 - 03-11-2025, 03:37 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

I applied to both schools recently. I applied to University of the People since they received the regional accreditation to the MSIT program. They finally accepted my documents proving language and math and I will be starting there on April 10th, if I decide to attend.

I also applied to Eastern University, MS in Data Analytics. The required GPA there is 3.0 but you can apply with a letter of explanation. I had right at a 2.78 so I decided to take my chances. I submitted all the required documents and awaiting a decision.

My questions are has anyone applied with less than the 3.0? I have worked with data now as an Ops and UAT Analyst for 10 years or so which I hope will strengthen my application. I also completed a Google Data Analytics Certificate that I submitted. 

Last question is if you could decide between the two, which would you pick?

  Study.com Psychology 105 to PSY-3220
Posted by: sciona13 - 03-11-2025, 09:39 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

I saw on the wiki here that Study.com's Psychology 105 should transfer over to TESU's PSY-3220, but on study.com's guide, it says that course transfers as PSY-2290 "Intro to Research Methods in Psychology". Can anyone verify this has transferred successfully recently to PSY-3220? I'm working on my overall degree plan and know that I need to put in 15 credits at TESU and trying to figure out which ones MUST be at TESU other than the Capstone and SOS-1100.

Thanks!

  2026 Electric TELO Compact Truck (American Made)
Posted by: LevelUP - 03-10-2025, 11:06 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (12)

This is a cool-looking electric compact pickup truck with a starting price of $42,000. The truck offers substantial utility and achieves approximately 3 miles per kilowatt-hour—comparable to the efficiency of the Model Y.





Tesla should consider offering a compact truck. While their Cybertruck is visually appealing, its starting price of $80,000 makes it more of a luxury toy, similar to the Hummer. In contrast, Rivian’s offerings start at $70,000 yet only achieve about 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour.

In another case, a family ditched their $110,000 Ford F-150 electric truck during a drive from Winnipeg to Chicago after experiencing charging troubles. The main complaints were that it took two hours to charge and cost more than gasoline.

Overall, I'm very gung ho about electric cars, though I acknowledge that many of these vehicles aren't highly practical for everyday use.
