  Debate/speech competition transfer credits? Fave advisors?
Posted by: PLEX - 03-19-2024, 01:35 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (4)

If anyone else had their RA credits for competitive debate or speech courses accepted by TESU, I'd love to know details of the original course code and description, as well as the TESU course code and description they mapped it to. Just looking at my newly-evaluated transfer credits and I'm very sad to see four semesters of "SP-26, Forensics" at RA college - 8 credits of A grades - was evaluated as "CDR-1999" with zero credits. 

I earned these a LONG time ago (and wasted tons of time winning awards when I should have been earning a degree). So, I wonder if the course ID and/or description as merely, "Forensics" (not LEO-related) are just no longer in whatever databases they use. I also see TESU does not have their own competitive debate/speech offering. However, they did accept a number of my other ancient classes, as well as oddball classes that are not quite like anything they have on offer. 

I applied mainly just to get the two free TECEPs they are currently offering newly-accepted student, and to see their credit evaluation so I can begin choosing and planning a degree. I have more alternative-source credits I know I need to complete before really digging in at TESU. 

So, I wasn't really planning on talking to an Academic Advisor just yet. However, I'm guessing that's the best way to press them on the non-accepted credits..? If that's the best next step, can anyone recommend their favorite from this list?

I browse the mobile rather often but a few threads become almost incomprehensible when it’s filled with [bold] words words [words/] and so on

Am I perhaps missing a setting or option to enable formatting ?

  best way to get a CS degree for people with experience?
Posted by: bwokbwok - 03-18-2024, 10:00 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (8)

Your Location: Washington, United States
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer Science 
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have completed a general study associate degree from a community college near Seattle. Also went to a different community college and finished a few chemistry and biology classes.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 
Sophia Classes I have completed: 
Calculus I
Introduction to Information Technology
Introduction to Java Programming
Introduction to Networking
Introduction to Relational Databases
Introduction to Web Development
Principles of Management

Any certifications or military experience? No

Budget: Not tight on budget but want to spend as little as possible, within 8k is ideal, but I care about saving time more than cost.

Commitments: working full time as a web developer, no pet no kid

Dedicated time to study: I can spend about 2-3 hours on weekday and 5-8 hours on weekend.

Timeline: As fast as possible.  I would like to finish within 1-1.5 years (12-18 months)

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I don't believe I am eligible. Female with 100k annual salary, would love to apply for scholarship if there's any good recommendation.

Hello all, I have been working as a web dev for the past 2 years. I don't have a bachelor degree and feel like this is making it harder to get a new job especially for all the recent changes in the IT field.

I was planning to get a degree via WGU and transfer credit from Sophia and study.com. After looking through a lot of information online, I doubt that I can finish WGU in one term (6 month) even if I transferred in everything from Sophia and study.com.

Then I found out about TESU which I think maybe a better option for me since I can transfer in even more classes from outside sources and really just pay for one term in TESU.

At this point, I want to complete the degree asap instead of worrying about the quality of my education since I am already working in IT. I heard that TESU is very flexible so I am hoping I can get about 60-70 credits transferred from my associated degree. 21 credits from Sophia (If I am right about each course is 3 credits). And I am planning to take 8 classes or more via study.com (about 24 credits). Then I will finish the remaining classes with TESU. 

Is this a correct estimation?
Is there any better options for me?
Do WGU graduates have a significant advantage in getting into Master degree in the future comparing to TESU?
When should I start applying for TESU if I think it will take me 4 months to finish all classes vis study.com? (I know that I will be transferring credits from 4 different sources, 2 community colleges, Sophia and study.com)

Just want to say thank you all for all the good information, I tried to read as much as possible but feeling a little dizzy at this point haha. But this guide is amazing!

  Lifestyle Prescriptions University
Posted by: ADC2305 - 03-18-2024, 09:46 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (2)

I've lurked in education forums for a few years and read as much as possible about accreditation, etc. Due to the cost, I signed up with Lifestyle Prescriptions University for their Ph.D. program and utilized my healthcare qualifications. I got a scholarship, which only cost me about 10k USD to do the course.

The course is in lifestyle medicine and health coaching, which I always wanted to do, but I have struggled in England to find a university that would support my research.

The accreditation is the bad part, but the European International University that accredits the course got regional accreditation for its DBA in the USA. I'm hopeful I can also get this with Validential when my course is complete.

I started the course a few months ago, and the content is decent so far, but I will update you as time passes.

  BACS BSCIS plan guidance
Posted by: LAMi - 03-18-2024, 07:24 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (23)

Location: not from us 
Age: 24
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor's in CS or Software Engineering  
Current degrees: not related to cs and probably not recognized in the us , but I have a  bachelor and a masters in medicine and I am 6 months away from completing my MD .
Current Regional Accredited Credits: none
Completed RA classes of note: none

I am 6 months away from finishing my MD , and I didn't really like medicine from the start but kept going just to get the degree , I really like everything programming and tech related , so I decided to be serious about it and get a degree in cs . I first found the WGU program and it was a dream , especially that it could be done in a short period of a time (I need to get this degree in the next 6 months to a year otherwise I ll have to go back to practicing medicine ) . But then WGU is not open for international students . 
 I tried looking at other alternative with the same price and duration options , I found TESU but it was a mess trying to understand all the credit transfer options and trying to calculate how much time and money it will take me since I have no credit . And I also have to take english certification exams to prove that I can speak english that will also take time . what are some options available for students like me ?

  Associates after Bachelors? 2nd Bachelors
Posted by: aslhou - 03-18-2024, 05:12 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (16)

Greetings,

I am considering doing a second bachelors where only credits from an associates degree would transfer.
I have 5 courses from cc, 6 courses graduate/non-degree, and 4 courses undergraduate that would not show a diploma on the transcript.  Otherwise most of my courses are on a transcript with my bachelors degree mentioned.

The wiki for Pierpont says they won't award an Associates if you already have a bachelors.  Has anyone confirmed this with Nancy?
Any other affordable school option that would give an associates with my existing credits from the bachelors?

Thanks!



I found that many community colleges offer a "reverse transfer," which is granting you an Associates degree after you left the institution based on credits received at a 4 year university.  I filled out this form for my previous CC, even though it says you won't be eligible if you already earned a bachelors.  Any other ideas?  thx!

Guys, there's a Master called the Execute Master. The most typical is EMBA. Is this master's degree equivalent to an official master's degree in Spanish-speaking areas? Is it equivalent to a master's degree in the United States and Canada?
