TESU / SNHU / Purdue Global - Need Course Plan please

[tuckerarabi786]

Check with the immigration consultants again to be sure, but I don't believe that an Associate's degree will be at all helpful for immigration. It'll be a detour and a waste of time & money.

For example Canada Immigration.
They have option to state if done Associate Degree or Bachelors or Masters.

I am rechecking for Australia & USA too...

What was concerning me that.

If i just quickly gather credits from Sophia and Study in 1 month.. Say 45-50 credits..
I transfer for Associate... get enrolled..
Do 3-4 courses more... and side by side in free time,.. add more credits in Sophia / Study...
And than I utilize these later for Bachelors.

But having Associate degree in advance, will at-least help me start and send off my migration documents.. So i do not waste many months.

This was one option i was thinking too.

FYI, you can probably get a Bachelor's degree from TESU or UMPI in the same amount of time as you'd spend on an Associate degree at TESU or SNHU.

[LevelUP]

If you wanted a bachelor's degree as quickly as possible, then UMPI would be the fastest, which can be done in 6 months or less for a business admin degree, considering you spend 20-30hrs a week studying. This UMPI degree would cost only $1400 if you can finish in one term.

Then you could transfer that into TESU, avoid having to do any general education, and skip the SOS-100 cornerstone. If you plan things perfectly, you only have eight courses to do.

However,  I agree with Rachel83az that you risk being sidetracked going after another degree.

How many hours a week do you have available to study?

I got an email from WES Canada.
To check from above URL, if the university is mentioned in it.

But if its not available, they said can apply for evaluation.

So SNHU is their.
But TESU and Purdue Global is not. But i think when i apply for evaluation, they will accept it too.

I can manage 20-30 hours per week... Yes... 

At the moment i am studying from 7:00 AM till 7:00 PM.
With 4-5 hours break in between..

Trying my best to meet some goals... 

I just need to get this thing done...

[tuckerarabi786]

Any idea..
if WGU is accepting international students?

I checked the Curriculum of WGU.. looks excellent...

[rachel83az]

WGU hasn't accepted international students in a long time. If you want a Computer Science degree, you can choose either SNHU or TESU. If you want an IT degree, and are okay with A LOT OF WRITING, there is Purdue Global.

Of those, TESU would be the fastest way to get a degree.

I wouldn't go with a UMPI degree. It isn't a technical degree and probably won't help much with immigration anywhere.

I was doing some calculations..

So i think around 7-10 hours it can take for each 3 Credit Course at Sophia to complete... Especially the Maths (Calculus etc)...
And if i spend say 4 days on each course..
In 2 months, i can have around 15 courses (3 credits) completed, gaining 45 credits....

I hope this speed of doing courses is logical ?
I already have started some courses in Sophia....

So just making myself accountable too, how long everything is going to take...

Can anyone share how long it took for them... so i can monitor my speed...

---

So maybe if i take the 4 months deal at Sophia... that seems the right decision. I presume..

Does Sophia has any further Coupon / Discount code ?

---

For the Milestones... For each questions, do we have 3 chances also or just 1 chance?

For reference I completed 62 credits of Sophia in 1 month. Note that all my courses were milestone courses not touchstone courses (milestone courses can be completed quickly, since there's no written assignments only exams). 

The subject matter will dictate how long it takes you. For example; since I'm doing environmental science at school I was able to do the environmental science course within 2 hours, but only because I already knew enough of the required knowledge. Other classes such as Financial Accounting took me about 3 days, because I had some prior knowledge of accounting, but definitely nowhere near what they were testing. It honestly all depends on how well you know a subject and then your time commitment. 

I'd say of my month of Sophia, I was only really working on Sophia courses for like 2 weeks of that month, because I had other things going on at the time. 

Realistically if you just sat down an entire day, you could probably complete 2/3 courses a day, depending on how well you know the subject.

For reference: I did ALL of the Sophia math courses (College Algebra (3cr), Calculus 1 (4cr), Introduction to College Mathematics (3cr), Introduction to Statistics (3cr), Principles of Statistics (2cr)) within 1 day, but that's only because I knew a fair bit about maths before I started the courses. But that's technically 15 credits in one day. 

I'd advise you, before just blindly start doing random Sophia courses (as I did). First get a degree plan together, then see what classes you can take through Sophia and then do those. 

Even if I did 62 credits within a month, almost half of those credits are useless, because they're not needed for my degree, where as I could've spent that time doing English Comp 1 and 2, that is needed for my degree. 

Hope this helps.
Also I believe another thread on here posts Sophia discount codes every now and then, but I personally am not aware of any.

Milestone questions do not give you 3 attempts, you have one attempt to answer it. However, it does not automatically mark your question and you are able to revise your answers before submitting. You can retake exams (milestones), but note that the questions WILL be different than your first attempt.

[LevelUP]

To preserve the integrity of our college degrees, we typically don't post how many hours it takes to do alternative credit classes unless it is around 20 hours or more.

We usually say time in days or in weeks. The exception may be CLEPs or exam-type credits.
