bjcheung77 accountability thread - UoPeople BS Health Sciences

[Antonella]

Well, what do you know?!  I just applied to their BS Health Sciences degree program as they're now RA and it's one of the programs that can't be had for this cheap, easy, fast elsewhere.  Even though they've got a funky 'degree mill' sounding institution name and need some work on the teaching back end (along with their leadership or management), it's a good deal if you can get it!  The other degree I'm interested in is the MEd Advanced Teaching (IB), I'll do that afterwards... I believe the next term starts June 19th, I hope to get accepted sooner rather than later...

Oh that's so cool, I applied as well! Did you find any resources regarding how many Sophia credits they accept and how much it will take to complete the degree with those?

Basically, for UoPeople... The most they accept is 90 credits for transfer or 75% of the undergraduate degree programs. Depending on what degree you're applying for, it's going to depend, if you're doing the Business or Comp Science, you shouldn't have a problem getting up to 90 credits with Coursera, Sophia.org and Study.com, etc...

For Health Science, it's the same, but the majority of the classes available from alternative options aren't sufficient enough to cover 90 credits or 75%, you'll have to take some classes elsewhere or complete them at UoPeople. Majority of people should get at least 60 credits in without issues, the last 30 to transfer over is going to be harder to find.
