What should i work on next?
#1
Hello everyone, I am trying to get an Associate degree first and then eventually a Bachelor's degree, preferably Business degree from Excelsior. I will post the credits i currently have. EU offered me financial aid so that is not going to be an issue. I just need to know what to take next since they charge $300 for an eval.
CLEP: French I and II, Score of 76/80. EU states that's worth 12 credits.
Sophia(All transfer to EU, I checked before taking):
[/url]Introduction to Nutrition
Environmental Science
US History I
US History II
Intro to College Math
Intro to Chemistry
Intro to IT
Project Management
Financial Accounting
Principles of Finance
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Intro to Web Dev
College Algebra
Intro to Business.

What kind of Associate degree? I can't remember if you're in the US. If so, have you looked at the FREE Pierpont Associate? They don't charge for evaluations and it'll probably be easier/faster/cheaper than getting an Associate degree elsewhere. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

I am in the US. I was thinking Excelsior for Associate and then do the Bachelors but they just told me I can only apply for one program at a time, I will look at Pierpont, thanks.

Nevermind, Pierpont requires GC which i am still awaiting.

It requires only 1 graded credit (I assume that is what you mean by GC), which can be completed for $25 through ASU (listed in #5 of that wiki page overview)

hahaha no i meant green card. mine is pending therefore Pierpont is not a fit for me. I think I will just skip the Associates and shoot for a Business Degree from Excelsior with a concentration of my choosing.

You can always just work on the bachelor's, and if/when the GC comes through, apply for the Pierpont AAS without pausing your bachelor's effort.

Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)

That's really a smart idea. Thank you

Yes, that is actually exactly how I did it with my degrees. While working for the BABA at UMPI, I applied for, and then "completed" the Pierpont AAS. Best of luck with your Bachelor's! Smile

@defmo, have you fully decided on Excelsior?  Did you review your previous threads from a few months ago?  
Your best bet right now is to work on Sophia.org courses that will transfer to these institutions, up to 90 credits.
1) TESU - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...quivalents
2) Excelsior - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-EC-please
3) CLEP/ACTFL - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...CLEP-ACTFL

You mentioned going to Excelsior because of the max transfer and no RA requirements.  It really depends on how you want to play your cards...  You can do things a little differently and add UMPI/WGU to your mix.  You really should tell us how long it took you to complete the Sophia.org courses you listed, so we can gauge roughly your progress & time usage to see if competency based degrees from UMPI, WGU, or something else would be an option for you.

Excelsior has some specific courses you need to take for the BSB, everything can be done via alt-credit, and no RA credit is needed which is great.

You should do the entire degree prior to enrolling there, unless you want to take your Cornerstone and InfoLit courses now (if they're free). But honestly, I personally would not go that route just yet - I would take all of the courses first, and do the Cornerstone and Capstone at the very end, so that if you end up changing your mind at some point, you don't feel "stuck" at EU.
