Wrexham/Glyndwr and Abertay |

Hi there,
Has anyone compared the offerings from Wrexham University (Glyndwr) and Abertay University?
Or had experience with either university?
Similarities:
- Async instruction
- FAQ sections almost word for word
- Both have similar entry requirements
- Similar pricing structures
- Not third-party accredited, but legit brick-and-mortar buildings with on-campus offerings, public funded
- Canvas LMS
- Marketing and funnelling and "ask us for more while we hide the info you want like course outlines"
- Website "feelings" when reading through them
Differences:
- Names of universities
- Locations: Wrexham in Wales, UK versus Abertay in Scotland, UK
- Website are somewhat different, but still have the same feeling somehow
Are they selling access to the same system I wonder, like a partnership from a third-party educator? Such an example would be University of Cumbria, University of Salford Manchester, York St. John University, and University of Gloucestershire all selling through Robert Kennedy College.
Any thoughts, go for it, I'm open to ideas

Hello,
Have never posted on here before. Just seeing if anyone might have any knowledge or experience with this online MBA program because haven't been able to find a lot as far as reviews or feedback so far.
I believe this is some of the information:
Gardner-Webb University:
10-12 month online MBA.
Founded in 1905 in N.C.
Classes every 8 weeks.
Cost per credit hour is $665
30 credit hours.
ACBSP accredited MBA
Perhaps similiar to Eastern University online MBA.
Just seeing if anyone might have any thoughts on this school.
Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken about something. Thanks

I suppose it isn't too surprising that grading gets harsher as the grader reads the same ideas and sees the same mistakes for 20th time. While 0.3 out of 100 doesn't sound like a lot, if it puts you on one side of a line instead of the other, it hurts.
https://phys.org/news/2024-04-grades-stu...etical.amp
Quote:An analysis by University of Michigan researchers of more than 30 million grading records from U-M finds students with alphabetically lower-ranked names receive lower grades. This is due to sequential grading biases and the default order of students' submissions in Canvas—the most widely used online learning management system—which is based on the alphabetical rank of their surnames.
What's more, they find, those alphabetically disadvantaged students receive comments that are notably more negative and less polite, and exhibit lower grading quality measured by post-grade complaints from students.

TESU - Exploring Degree Options with Tuition Assistance |

Hello everyone!,
I have been offered tuition assistance of up to $2,000 per academic year starting in 2025.
I completed my BA in CS at TESU and am interested in programs that would allow me to pursue further degrees (BA, MS, AS) in Data Science, Analytics, or something related to Marketing, as I currently work as the Webmaster in a Marketing Team.
I would like to know, given my credits at TESU and those masters credits I have from WGU and NYU, which program would provide the best value for my investment.
The ideal scenario for me would be to earn an AS alongside a BA, or a BA alongside an MS, or to pursue all three degrees (AS, BA, and MS) simultaneously (I'm greedy)
I know that you have to take 16 credits in a semester to avoid paying the resident's fee, wondering how I will manage that

New Member with a UMPI Question |

Hi Everyone,
I just joined and saw a post suggesting we all fill in the below questionnaire. Below is my story. I do have a preliminary question UMPI's BLS - Minor in Management. I found another post that contained some gret info on UMPI's BABA degree, specifically the UMPI classes you need to take and their ACE equivalents.
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents
I was looking for the same for the BLS - Management degree, but couldn't find it. Can anyone direct me to that?
Thanks!
Chris
Your Location: NJ, United States.
Your Age: 48
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor’s Liberal Studies – Management Minor.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Hudson County Community College (currently enrolled and taking 7 credits - Spring 2024 Semester)
DegreeForum University Total Credits: 0
Google University Total Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: These are things like Study, Sophia, InstantCert InstantCredit, CLEP, Straighterline, Davar etc
Sophia Credits: 9 (as of 4-17-24)
Spanish I, 3, 98%
US Gov, 3, 92% or A
Intro to Sociology, 3, 92% or A
Any certifications or military experience? I have expired Cisco certifications: CCNA, CCNP, CCIE
Budget: I don’t really have a set budget for this. I can pay as I go. However, I would like the cheapest route possible and the two schools I’m considering are UMPI and WGU, but heavily leaning towards UMPI because of the degree programs offered.
Commitments: I have 2 adult children (out of the house) plus a HS junior. I work full time from home mostly and have tons of time to commit to this endeavor. I have two dogs too, but they don’t present any challenges. If anything they makes things better ?.
Dedicated time to study: Plenty of time to study. I work from home and pretty much make my own schedule.
Timeline: I’ve been on Sophia for about 3 weeks and completed 3 courses for 9 credits, taking about 1 week completely off to devote to traditional college classes and the work for that. Once my college semester is over, I will be able to devote more time to Sophia and really get going with that, but my plan is to do as many of those ACE credits as possible before enrolling in UMPI (or maybe WGU). Possibly 6 months on Sophia and then perhaps 6-months to year at UMPI. As I understand it, UMPI accepts most ACE credits.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.
Please provide any relevant details you may have that may help us determine a option or path for you to investigate, such as your preference towards either test-out (you're a great test taker) or competency based education (because you like assessments, assignments and have test anxiety). What other details you provide us can help determine your course of action suited for your educational journey...
I’m a 48-year-old IT Manager with a pretty great career going. After graduating high school (94), I tried community college for 1 semester after the summer and didn’t complete it. It just wasn’t for me at that particular time in my life. I worked full time for about 3 years after that when a friend told me about this school he enrolled in where he was learning all sorts of networking technologies. He explained a bit what he was learning and having had an interest in technology, I sat in on a couple of classes and found that I really wanted to learn this stuff, plus the potential pay would be amazing compared to what I was earning. I enrolled, completed it after about 2 years, got my CCNA, then 2 years later my CCNP and then 3 years after that, my CCIE. I’ve worked as a network architect, solutions consultant, IT ops manager and as a pre-sales engineer over what’s been about a 25-year career. It’s been a pretty good one with great earnings along the way.
The one thing I have always regretted is not having gotten my degree. With my youngest embarking on his college search (junior in HS), I’ve been inspired to finally do it. Will it help me career-wise? Maybe, but this is something I want to do for me. For the sake of the pursuit. I’m the kind of person that when I decided to do something, I get COMPLETELY locked in. I’ve committed to this, and I want it!
I just found it. Thanks!

New Data Analytics Programs |

Amberton University announced today 2 new programs in Data Analytics:
Master of Science
https://amberton.edu/degree-programs/mas...analytics/
Graduate Data Analytics Certificate
https://amberton.edu/degree-programs/cer...-graduate/
Yes you can complete the certificate and then go onto the MS. Tuition is $300 per credit. All of their degrees (except the counseling degrees) can be completed online. Your diploma says nothing about online neither do the transcripts. There is a physical campus in Texas. I share this info for those looking for a program that's online but doesn't scream online like colleges with global in the name.
One thing I like about Amberton is that you can see the course syllabus before you register for a class so you have an idea of what work is in store for you. You'll also know what textbooks are required so you can budget for them and find them. You can order them through the college bookstore - I never have. I always source mine through Amazon either used, rent, or Kindle.....whichever is cheapest.
Amberton is a Christian university. However, it's not like Liberty or Charleston Southern University where religion is in the courses. There's 1 class which has religion and it's the ethics course everyone is required to take in the business programs. There are 2 sections of the ethics course every term - one faith based and one not. You'll have some students and professors wishing you a blessed day but that's all I've encountered.
