SNHU new gen ed requirements

[ausernameisneeded]

You can always take the courses at SNHU (or elsewhere) and transfer them to TESU. TESU allows for essentially "any" math as long as you meet minimum UL/LL requirements. There are also a handful of math specific requirements, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics.

No those required courses have to be graded and have to count towards your GPA

What Master's degree is this? Graded, I can see. GPA thing is a bit weird. I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.

[ausernameisneeded]

How long do you think that will take, because I wanted to start Sophia courses in October and apply to SNHU in December with minimum 30+ credits.

I'm scared of wasting my time earning credits that won't transfer and ending up taking 15 courses at SNHU

I wanted to do only 10 courses at SNHU 

If SNHU become less transfer friendly, college might be off the table for me.

Before you mention TESU, UMPI or another school, I need minimum a bachelor in mathematics and these courses (graded) to get into grad school:
Linear Algebra
Abstract Algebra
Real Analysis 1 and 2
Complex Analysis

TESU only have Linear Algebra in that list

At least SNHU have Applied Linear Algebra (I'm required to have a proof based one but this won't hurts), Abstract Algebra and Real Analysis 1, that's 3 out of 5, which is not bad.

For the SNHU Math degree plan, there are 3 open spots for Math Electives. You could take Calculus 2 (MAT251) at Straighterline for one of those spots, which probably won't fill the Calculus 2 requirement in the major since it comes in as a different course number. So you still would have to take Calculus 2 again at SNHU.

Statistics.com offers a course called Regression Analysis that comes into SNHU as MAT303, which would fill a MATH elective spot.

It's a matter of how many courses will transfer into the GE to know how many total courses you would have to do at SNHU.  I would do the GE first, transfer them in and see which everything falls.

Why won't General Calculus II at Straighterline won't transfer as Calc 2 at SNHU?

Although not listed in the experience page at SNHU, https://www.snhu.edu/admission/transferr...ighterLine,

Straighterline claims that it can transfer as calc 2:

Calculus II: Integration & Series - MAT-275
General Calculus II - MAT251

So where are you going to find the other 2 courses for that particular grad school?  And which grad school is it?  Is there another grad school you can go to?  Why that one?

It might be helpful if you tell us your ultimate goal so we can help you find an option that you haven't thought of.

Sorry, I didn't write that post correctly.

Those aren't minimum required courses, there are suggested prerequisites.

I quote the university of Toronto (https://www.mathematics.utoronto.ca/grad...ccordion-1):

We recognize that our students come from many different places and with a significant range of differing backgrounds. Hence there is no fixed and rigid list of prerequisites, and applicants are considered and often admitted even if their formal previous mathematical education is very different from the informal list of prerequisites provided. In general, we’d like to see some sort of overall mathematical maturity and experience, and we appreciate (though we do not require) evidence of in-depth concentration in one mathematical discipline or another.
Yet this List of Suggested Prerequisites provides a non-binding list of courses that are recommended to applicants from within the University of Toronto in order to be seriously considered for the doctoral stream and terminal stream master’s programs. Students coming from other institutions will have to make the appropriate substitutions.

Also, it's not like I have 100% "ultimate" goals

I'm interested in analytic philosophy and pure mathematics right now but if  learn (self study) a lot of math courses and don't like it I'll switch to CS.

University of Toronto is my 1st choice right now but what I'll learn later or what can happen later can change that choice.

What I have are hypothesis, experience can prove wrong those hypothesis.

So those hypothesis are:
I want to graduate with a bachelor of mathematics in(or under) 1.5 years. If I don't like it, I can switch to CS or another major.
I want to get into university of Toronto or another Canadian grad school for a master in mathematics or CS or another major.

I'm actually interested in learning, I'm not just there to check a box.

It's a Math Master.

What I meant by counting towards your GPA was It has to be graded at your institution (I'm not sure. I don't have evidence) because transfered courses are pass fail.  

Sorry for the confusion

Sorry for the confusion

What? No. At least at TESU, transferred courses are only pass/fail if they were pass/fail at the original institution. I have multiple ASU and Strayer courses on my TESU transcript - all with letter grades.

The ONLY reason why a TESU transcript would show pass/fail for transferred courses would be because it's from a school (such as WGU) that only grades in pass/fail or the course is from an alternate source - Study.com, Sophia, etc. (Or the course is a TECEP, which is ony pass/fail.) If you transfer graded courses from SNHU, APUS, etc. to TESU, they will be graded on your transcript.

For probably 99.9% of Master's programs in the USA, this is no problem at all. They will calculate their own whole-program GPA, if needed, rather than relying on just the GPA TESU gives.

Wow you just dropped a revelation.

I have one millions questions.

So let's say I took 5 classes at SNHU or UMPI, transfer them to TESU, will those courses count towards my GPA?
Will those courses show the percentage on the transcript?
Can I take courses at UMPI in the yourpace program, transfer them to SNHU and have them graded on my transcript at SNHU?
Can it affects my GPA at SNHU?

For probably 99.9% of Master's programs in the USA, this is no problem at all. They will calculate their own whole-program GPA, if needed, rather than relying on just the GPA TESU gives.

How would they do that?


Is an A+ = a 97% to 100% in every university in the US?

[rachel83az]

Wow you just dropped a revelation.

So let's say I took 5 classes at SNHU or UMPI, transfer them to TESU, will those courses count towards my GPA?

Yes, they will count toward your whole-program GPA. They will not count toward your institutional GPA. Most grad programs don't care about institutional GPA at all if you have transfer credit.

Will those courses show the percentage on the transcript?

They'll show grades, if that's what you mean.

Can I take courses at UMPI in the yourpace program, transfer them to SNHU and have them graded on my transcript at SNHU?

Yes, they'll show as graded at SNHU and almost anywhere else (WGU would be an exception; again, they're just pass/fail).

Can it affects my GPA at SNHU?

Only SNHU classes affect your SNHU GPA. Only TESU classes affect your TESU GPA. But the transfer classes always affect your whole-program GPA. Whole-program includes both institutional and transfer credits.

For probably 99.9% of Master's programs in the USA, this is no problem at all. They will calculate their own whole-program GPA, if needed, rather than relying on just the GPA TESU gives.

How would they do that?


Is an A+ = a 97% to 100% in every university in the US?

They will ask for all of your transcripts and calculate based on that. They don't just base everything off of your final degree transcript. On each official transcript is a key that shows what each grade "means" in a standardized fashion, because not every school equates certain percentages to specific letter grades. The admissions people for graduate programs know how to read these keys and to calculate whole-program GPA based on what each one says.

Some grad schools even ask for Sophia/SDC transcripts with percentages and calculate those classes into your GPA, even though most undergrad programs count them only as pass/fail classes.

[LevelUP]

So let's say I took 5 classes at SNHU or UMPI, transfer them to TESU, will those courses count towards my GPA?

Will those courses show the percentage on the transcript?

I can't speak for SNHU GPA, but for TESU:
1. Courses that transfer into TESU don't affect your GPA.
2. Courses transferred in are listed on the transcript but don't show a GPA.

The GPA is calculated by only the courses you take at TESU.

Why won't General Calculus II at Straighterline won't transfer as Calc 2 at SNHU?

Although not listed in the experience page at SNHU, https://www.snhu.edu/admission/transferr...ighterLine,

Straighterline claims that it can transfer as calc 2:

Calculus II: Integration & Series - MAT-275
General Calculus II - MAT251

If a course's number is different I wouldn't assume a course will transfer in. I would suggest asking SNHU advising if the course will transfer.

Given how incompetent SNHU advisors have been lately, asking SNHU advisors versus asking a Magic 8 Ball may yield the same results.

[dfrecore]

GPA's don't transfer - a school may look at your GPA for various reasons though - but they generally won't transfer your GPA (although they may list the grades on your transcript, they normally calculate a GPA based ONLY on the courses taken at that school).

When you apply to grad school, they should calculate an internal GPA - that is, they will ask for a transcript from each school you went to (and each school will have it's own GPA).

> I want to graduate with a bachelor of mathematics in(or under) 1.5 years.

haven't read the entire thread, but 1.5 years is going to be tough if you really want the recommended courses
they all have prerequisites

Calculus 3 is usually required before Real Analysis
and of course that means Calculus 2 and Calculus 1
