Nothing upper level, unfortunately. Was hoping for CIS-3510.

I don't see this one listed in Acenet, though there are two similarly titled courses with different suggested transfer credits.

Hello guys. First, I want to thank you all for the excellent information posted in this forum and for all the support I've received over the years. 

To recap: I started building my credit base in 2017 with Study.com. And I have been on and off since then. This year, 2026, I decided to finish, so I finally enrolled at UMPI to do the residency. Fast forward to today: I finished the residency requirements for BLS Management, but I'm short ONE course for the upper-level requirement. I thought some of the courses I took for residency would also count toward the 24 UL credits I needed, but I was wrong. So now I need to take one more to finish my BLS.

I got 95% of my courses done at study but the upper level courses require to have the most expensive tier, I think is $280 per month, so I'm trying to avoid that if I can.

So my question today is: Can I find another UL course elsewhere? I heard Sophia charges a flat rate even for UL courses? Or does anyone have another idea?
As usual, thanks a lot, guys, for all the support, and have a great summer.
Adrian.

  The Rise of Florida's 'Microschools'

Looks like Florida went all-in on a school voucher system offering $8,000 to cover tuition for any child who opts out of public school.

  What is the timeline for UMPI and TESU credit evaluations?
Posted by: daydream - 08-18-2026, 08:23 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (3)

I have been waiting about six weeks. I got accepted into TESU instantly, but I'm still waiting on my UMPI and TESU credit evaluations. I know that both schools have received all of my transcripts. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

  NEW Fordham Online Masters in International Humanitarian Action
Posted by: smartdegree - 08-18-2026, 06:50 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - No Replies

https://www.fordham.edu/academics/center...an-action/

Interesting curriculum.  Like a hybrid between a Master in International Affairs and a Master in Disaster Management.  
  
Credit hours: 30 credits
Cost: $19,500
Duration: Two years

Fordham has a good reputation in NYC, frequently known as the 3rd best school next to Columbia and NYU.  Because of their location, they probably have good links with the UN and other humanitarian and international organizations.  Also, a certain US President studied at Fordham.  

This cost is suprisingly low for a NYC university so this would be considered a good deal for New Yorkers.

  George Fox U Free AI Basics and AI Advanced Short Certificates
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 08-18-2026, 11:32 AM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - Replies (5)

George Fox University Wrote:George Fox University has launched two new self-paced, free short courses for the public – AI BASICS: Fluency & Discernment and AI ADVANCED: Leadership & Wisdom.

The two online courses are designed to empower people ranging from tech novices to organizational leaders and provide a comprehensive toolkit for navigating the AI revolution. The curriculum goes beyond technical skills to address the ethical, social and theological dimensions of this rapidly evolving technology.

Both courses are delivered through the George Fox online learning platform, making them available to working professionals, students and lifelong learners. Each course consists of five modules, requiring approximately one hour per module to complete. Every module features an engaging video presentation, an automated quiz, hands-on learning activities, and curated supplemental resources.

While the courses do not give university academic credit, students who successfully complete all five modules in sequence will earn a Certificate of Completion from George Fox University to display on their résumés and LinkedIn profiles.

The AI BASICS: Fluency & Discernment Course is an introductory program designed to build a foundational understanding of generative AI tools and establish a framework for their responsible use. Participants will learn how large language models function, identify major industry players, and develop competence in creating and refining multimedia content through effective prompting.

Additionally, the course emphasizes critical evaluation by teaching students to identify AI risks – such as bias, hallucinations and privacy concerns – and to navigate broader ethical and social controversies with balanced judgment. Ultimately, the curriculum integrates these technical skills with a faith-based framework, aligning AI usage with Christian theology to guide wise, responsible decision-making in both personal and professional contexts.

The AI ADVANCED: Leadership & Wisdom Course is a strategic program tailored for individuals ready to move beyond basic prompting and focus on organizational integration, sophisticated workflows, and technological leadership. Participants will learn to orchestrate complex, multi-step AI agents and automations, while responsibly customizing specialized AI platforms to fit specific organizational or domain needs.

The curriculum also prepares leaders to guide institutions through change management and AI governance, while critically analyzing the technology's broader impacts on labor, power, creativity and truth. Grounding these advanced practices in a faith-based perspective, the course integrates Christian theology and reflection to foster wise, long-term leadership in an evolving technological landscape.

The courses are designed to give professionals a distinct advantage – combining cutting-edge technical workflows with the deep, values-driven discernment our world desperately needs right now. “This is one of the only high-level, organized courses of this type infused with a Christian faith perspective,” said Brian Doak, vice president of digital programs and academic innovation. “We're so excited to offer this expert content, for free, to our local community and also to the entire world.”

George Fox University is Oregon’s largest private university. It’s affiliated with the Evangelical Friends Church International, a branch of Quakerism that’s remained part of Evangelical Christianity.
