Unaccredited or Life Experience Degrees that are legal?

[ak1238]

No I looked at their curriculum. I don’t have much experience in networking, Linux, web dev...things like that and I do not have competency in a lot of those classes. I’m still open some life experience degrees

Your first post in this thread was on June 9th. If you'd signed up for Sophia at that time, you could potentially have 30+ credits by now.

I spoke with UMPI and they said the YourPace program accepts max 90 credits and 30 has to be completed at UMPI. Are people really accelerating those 10 classes in a month and a half? I could probably transfer in 60 or more credits

I guess person is looking for smth fast without putting any effort into it. But unfortunately such thing doesnt exist.
Ur only option is to put work into it to be able to get any legal degree. How fast it can be done depends on u. But there is no way u can just get legal degree without doing actual work

I’m fine with putting in the work but I’m looking to be strategic aka not spending too much time if I don’t need to. Like how WGU lets students accelerate vs going to a 4 yr college. I’ve looked at UMPI and WGU and it’s looking like it’ll take more than a year to finish

I was just curious - Have you compared the UMPI BLS MIS concentration?  How did you come to 1.5 years for the WGU option? Are you just using the WGU website example of an average student taking 1.5 years for the degree for some programs? Both institutions provide competency based degree options, it may not be exactly the same but the way students complete assessments/projects, etc, is similar.

To complete the BLS with the MIS minor at UMPI you need ZERO experience in networking, Linux, web dev, or anything even remotely related. I completed the minor and have ZERO IT experience.

How long did it take you?
