Thanks to everyone here I am now enrolled at TAMUC

After years of not being in school I decided to finally get things done. So after digging around, found this forum and started reading up. I think my situation was a bit unique (maybe) as I had many hours from WGU but they were over 10 years old and I was not sure what all would have transferred into any other school. 

So after reading up here, and getting signed up with sophia.org I started tackling some of the electives that looked like they would transfer over to TAMUC in addition the the WGU credits and the few U of H credits. Well, they accepted over 100 hours of credits. So now I basically have a couple of core classes needed, 4 required major courses then I need to fill the rest of the 36 hour requirement and I will be done. 

Now it is a waiting period for the official class start day, but I am excited and interested in seeing how fast I can get this done.

Congratulations on getting started at TAMUC!!

I felt the same way about some of my credits, I was not sure if anyone would accept them and allow them to count towards my degree. One of the things I liked the most about TAMUC was that they accepted just about everything that I sent over from community college from 25+ years ago. Then after I filled in my missing core classes using Sophia, I only needed to complete 14 classes.

It took me 4 of the 7 week semesters to finish my 14 classes, and it took my wife 3 of the 7 week semesters to finish 12 classes. The amount of time it takes you may vary, but there are 2 recent examples you can look at.

That's awesome. I'm glad you were able to pull the trigger and will soon complete a major life goal.

Currently at TAMUC. Found nothing but great things here so far. I’m in a CBE program and it is fantastic. Professors have been great and helpful and advisors the same- although probably switching my major to a different CBE, a good experience so far from the staff.

What major did you pick?
