Which courses from Sophia.org can be transferred to UoPeople

[StoicJ]

Here are the ACE credits I had approved by UotP:

ACE (30 credits)
Sophia- Developing effective teams = 1 sh electives
Sophia- Essentials of managing conflict = 1 sh electives
Sophia- Ancient Greek philosophers = 3 sh electives
Sophia- Intro to statistics = MATH1280 Intro to statistics (satisfies 1 of 2 maths)
Sophia- Accounting = BUS1102 Basic accounting (core business)
Sophia- Intro to ethics = satisfies core ethics
Sophia- Macroeconomics = BUS1104 Macroeconomics (core business)
SDC- Principles of finance = BUS2203 Principles of finance 1 (core business)
SDC- Intro to world religions = 3 sh electives
SDC- Personal finance = 3 sh electives
SDC- Intro to entrepreneurship = 2 sh electives
TEEX- Cyber Security for business pros = 2 sh electives

I also had 51 credits approved from regionally-accredited institutions. I had several other courses I could have had evaluated but they would not have fit in any needed slots, so I left it alone.

FWIW, it seems to me they are pretty generous on ACE-recommended. If you are pursuing a bus admin degree I think they would take ACE business/corporate communications, principles of marketing, business and society, and org behavior for the core business equivalents. I also think if you have a strategic management in there they'd take it as BUS4403 Business policy and strategy.

My 1st eval was done within 2-4 days as I recall. This last one came back in 2 days.

just an FYI, I cant see the exact number right now (U of P has a real janky interface) but IIRC it seems they accepted all of my community college courses that were a pass (C or above)

So 17 bucks per class (not credit) , 85 credit hours.

The normal semester timing kind of makes them a no go for me but hopefully that's good info for anyone else reading this later.

That "only 75%" thing coupled with the semester format though, ick. I can make 350 bucks a day after taxes doing overtime (12 hour days), adding years to my degree plan to save a few thousand is hogwash.

A competency based program may be more of what you're looking for sine they don't follow a semester schedule. Depending on what you want to major in here's some options:

More info for those who might be interested. "only 75%" leaves just 10 courses to complete through UotP, I believe. 

For the BSBA I think a person might be able to do 26 transferable courses through Sophia (78 hrs). They may be able to do 4 courses that Sophia does not offer via Study.com (12 hrs). That leaves 10 UotP (30 hrs). If they did 2 courses per term for each of the 5 terms, that is 10 courses in one year. POSSIBLY, the entire thing could be knocked out in one year, starting from $0. $60 application, $510 transfer fees (30 x $17), $XX transcripts, $1200 assessment fees ($120 x 10), $100 proctoring?, $400 Study.com (2 months), $480 Sophia (6 months?) = $2750 total. Seems possible. You could stretch it out over two years, lighten the workload tremendously, and the cost would be the same. Just an idea. Truth be told, I got a lot more out of the 2 courses I took via the term route than I did via my Sophia and SDC courses. It did take a lot of time, though.

Sorry about reviving such an old thread. Just wished to add UpPeople accepts Sophia's Human Anatomy I class for their Health Science degree.

They accepted from Sophia:
English 1
Statistics
Nutrition
Environmental science
Anatomy 1
I think Biology


Not sure if micro/macroeconomics, us history, art history, microbiology, lifespan dev will transfer. I am still a provisional student.
I sent my onlinedegree.com transcript, they haven't evaluated it yet so I don't know what will be accepted.

I am working on algebra and plan to take sociology on sophia. If they don't accept psychology from OD, I'll have to do it on sophia.

Most of the core health subjects don't have alternative ace credit options. They didn’t accept the saylor biology course I did.

thank you very much for the answer!
specialty courses do you know if we will be able to get from sofia?
have you taken lessons from anywhere else or only from wisdom?

@kwstas, I've edited the previous post for clarity and removal of duplicate information... People share what was able to be transferred to UOP and that's how we update others, from posts, threads, WIKI, etc.

Okay, I had a closer look at what Sophia courses were accepted (I couldn’t see every course when I first transferred them because they were accepted as electives).

I wanted to edit my previous post to avoid repeating info, but for some reason I can't edit so here is the list with what they accepted from Sophia for the Health degree.

They accepted:
Anatomy & Physiology 2
Microbiology
Introduction to Ethics
Biology
US history 1
Art history 1
Nutrition
Environmental Science
English composition 1
Intro Statistics
