Next week!

Hello sks972, May I ask how many transferred credits are allowed for this program? Thank you.

None that I'm aware of, but if anyone else has helpful information I encourage them to chime in.

I was accepted to start in January.

They use STRUT LEARNING as their platform. Same learning platform as UMPI.

AHHA!  You are a paid plant on the board for UMPI AND Strut Learning, right, right?

i wish they'd pay me. I think my reviews got over 30 people to enroll so far.

Sure, I saw that if your other post.  Honestly, I was kind of thinking of your UMPI MAOL experience when I posted my comment. If these assignments are on the shorter side, this could be an awesome program to accelerate through. If each of those 5-8 assignments per class are going to require 30-40 pages of writing each and if you are going to have to go through a process of revisions to earn that A, maybe not so much….

I'm not a fan of risking money to be honest. But, I feel like... It is worth the shot. I'll commit to one semester in full gear and we can see how I do. I can definitely report back on DegreeForum with how I'm doing if people are interested. If I am satisfied with my progress in my first six months and don't feel like... I did in the MAOL I'll go through all the way.

Except for the dissertation I know those are going to be soul crushing lol

I enrolled.  I'm retired, so I can make this my "full time" thing and see how it goes.

Awesome! ARe you starting in October or January?

Next week!

How was the first month? : am really interested to hear how this program is going.

They just told me the orientation and other requirements will be in person

Oh no!

Hmmm. That might be why the program is housed at the Knoxville campus instead of the online campus like the other online programs.

Six weeks in they spring this on you?  Bait and switch territory.

Yeah. :| I emailed them back and was like is it mandatory, was told yes. I responded "this is way too short of a notice to book a flight to go 2,200 miles" after that they told me they can do an online orientation for me....

WHEW! The program advisor (different person then enrollment orientation person) was like wait what and said she'll push for online orientation for me too.
