Which courses from Sophia.org can be transferred to UoPeople

[StoicJ]

Here are the ACE credits I had approved by UotP:

ACE (30 credits)
Sophia- Developing effective teams = 1 sh electives
Sophia- Essentials of managing conflict = 1 sh electives
Sophia- Ancient Greek philosophers = 3 sh electives
Sophia- Intro to statistics = MATH1280 Intro to statistics (satisfies 1 of 2 maths)
Sophia- Accounting = BUS1102 Basic accounting (core business)
Sophia- Intro to ethics = satisfies core ethics
Sophia- Macroeconomics = BUS1104 Macroeconomics (core business)
SDC- Principles of finance = BUS2203 Principles of finance 1 (core business)
SDC- Intro to world religions = 3 sh electives
SDC- Personal finance = 3 sh electives
SDC- Intro to entrepreneurship = 2 sh electives
TEEX- Cyber Security for business pros = 2 sh electives

I also had 51 credits approved from regionally-accredited institutions. I had several other courses I could have had evaluated but they would not have fit in any needed slots, so I left it alone.

FWIW, it seems to me they are pretty generous on ACE-recommended. If you are pursuing a bus admin degree I think they would take ACE business/corporate communications, principles of marketing, business and society, and org behavior for the core business equivalents. I also think if you have a strategic management in there they'd take it as BUS4403 Business policy and strategy.

My 1st eval was done within 2-4 days as I recall. This last one came back in 2 days.

just an FYI, I cant see the exact number right now (U of P has a real janky interface) but IIRC it seems they accepted all of my community college courses that were a pass (C or above)

So 17 bucks per class (not credit) , 85 credit hours.

The normal semester timing kind of makes them a no go for me but hopefully that's good info for anyone else reading this later.

That "only 75%" thing coupled with the semester format though, ick. I can make 350 bucks a day after taxes doing overtime (12 hour days), adding years to my degree plan to save a few thousand is hogwash.

A competency based program may be more of what you're looking for sine they don't follow a semester schedule. Depending on what you want to major in here's some options:

More info for those who might be interested. "only 75%" leaves just 10 courses to complete through UotP, I believe. 

For the BSBA I think a person might be able to do 26 transferable courses through Sophia (78 hrs). They may be able to do 4 courses that Sophia does not offer via Study.com (12 hrs). That leaves 10 UotP (30 hrs). If they did 2 courses per term for each of the 5 terms, that is 10 courses in one year. POSSIBLY, the entire thing could be knocked out in one year, starting from $0. $60 application, $510 transfer fees (30 x $17), $XX transcripts, $1200 assessment fees ($120 x 10), $100 proctoring?, $400 Study.com (2 months), $480 Sophia (6 months?) = $2750 total. Seems possible. You could stretch it out over two years, lighten the workload tremendously, and the cost would be the same. Just an idea. Truth be told, I got a lot more out of the 2 courses I took via the term route than I did via my Sophia and SDC courses. It did take a lot of time, though.
