(I’m sorry if any of this isn’t formatted correctly, I’m new to this forum, but I did some research and tried to format it appropriately.)
I'm nearly finished with an AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree in Accounting from a local community college, so most of my credits are from low level accounting and business courses.
In hindsight I should have gone for the Associate of Arts, since the accounting classes I've taken aren't so transfer friendly, which I didn't realize at the time. Regardless, Ideally I would love to have my entire Associates degree transfer, and take advantage of the remaining transfer credits some colleges allow by taking classes from Sophia or study.com or something similar to max out the transfer credit maximum of the college that would take my credits. Or not, if someone has a better plan! I really don’t know what the best option is. I'm a little lost and worried that all my hard work might not have gotten me as far as I thought.
I’ve been looking at Excelsior University, because they have a generous transfer policy, but it’s hard to figure out what will apply towards my degree and what exactly I would still need. They require 30 high level courses that I don’t have, and they seem reluctant to give advice until I’ve applied and enrolled.
Like others, I’m looking for the fastest, cheapest way to get my BA, while being able to use the credits I have from the community college. I would also like to leave the option open to eventually get a Masters in Accounting or business, because I need extra credits anyway in order to sit for the CPA exam, and it would be nice to have.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None Any certifications or military experience?: No Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast. Commitments: Spouse and kids- no day job. Dedicated time to study: I do school work in the evening/ night, and on weekends. Timeline: I’m hoping for under 6 months to get my BA and under 2 years if I go for a masters. Really as fast as possible, but I also can’t do more than 5 hours a day of school work. I’ve been pretty successful at it so far but it’s hard to commit to a serious schedule with small children. Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
Notes: -I’m comfortable with proctored tests but prefer unprotected. I love and do well working at my own pace without live classes like zoom. -My GPA is currently 4.0 but might be a little lower after this semester.
I'm not sure about a Mexican university called Multiversdad Mundo Real Edgar Morin, is it legit? In the website appears that they have RVOE (I understand that is a kind of accreditation), Apostille and US credential evaluation by California University FCE. Do you know something about that? I'm interested in one of his programs, but I'm not sure if this is legit or worth it. The only ranking that I found it that university is AD Scientific Index.

I'm deciding between three degrees, and I'm curious whether you've found any difference in career prestige between BA and BS degrees?
For context, here's what I'm deciding between:
Bachelor of Arts Business Administration - Marketing
Bachelor of Science - Marketing
Bachelor of Science - Business Administration
My thoughts:
Maybe UMPI's BABA-Marketing because it's got both Business Administration and Marketing in the title, win/win! But maybe Bachelor of Arts isn't competitive in tech markets because technology leans analytical/scientific?
Maybe WGU's BS-Marketing or their BS-Business Administration, because Bachelor of Science degrees lean technical?
Maybe BS because I'm in the San Francisco tech market? But maybe no one cares about the designation as much as they care about the degree topic and professional experience.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the difference in career value for a BA vs a BS in tech.
Hello Everyone,
I am planning on going to UMPI for my undergrad and I would like some help with the degree plan that I formatted. The degree plan is linked below.
1) I need 60 graded credits(for law school) I would like to know know what credits would be easiest to take at UMPI to acheive the goal.
2) Also do I have enough electives?
3) Are my GEC's okay?
4) For the pre-law minor, what if I have duplicate courses in my GEC?
Hey, my local community college is a Sophia partner; Does anyone know if its possible to transfer in Sophia courses, earn my associates at the CC, and then transfer to a state school that wouldn't usually accept ACE credits?
Their PhD in Business is about $7,300 at the current exchange rate. But their DBA is far more expensive than the one at Asia-E-University.
What were the criteria I looked for?
1. Proper state accreditation
2. Proper, established institution with a name that sounds like an actual place offering doctorates
3. 100% online
4. English program
5. Not a strongly religious institution
If you want to obtain an MBA but don't live in the US to benefit from the HAU offering, Cyprus is the best option to gain a fully accredited online MBA in Europe.
The price is about 4-7k$ in total for an accredited 18 month MBA. In contrast to most EU masters, some schools let you graduate without having to write a master thesis.
For a lot of them, Brive offers a discount or at least shows the price of the program which is not always listed on the schools website.
