I know I have to take 10 courses at UMPI, with what I have in the attachment so far, is it a realistic goal to do all this in one term and graduate in May? I plan to go for the BABA in Management and Leadership. This will be paid for by the military, but I am trying to rush to be done with my degree before I apply for Officer Training School this summer.

First my quick review on University of the People

Pros:

• It checks the Associates and Bachelor's degree box for me
  
• Got two degrees in 3 years
  
• I graduated without any debt
  
• "Most" recruiters and headhunters won't care
  
• Its connection with Sophia was a game changer for finishing
  

• The support from advisors is minimal and sporadic
  
• Peer review is the horror you heard it to be
  
• (and this is a "me" problem) I am almost ashamed to tell anyone that I got a degree from there & won't put it on my LinkedIN 
  
• I wanted to be proud of this moment and I'm not (again, a me problem)
  
• The quality of education I got seemed a bit subpar and I "did" the work and have a 3.6 GPA. Sub par in that the materials and information were extremely dated and with the speed in which information and business shifts, so much of what they had us studying was obsolete. 
  
• There is NO school spirit (merch or otherwise--I asked, and asked about a total rebrand)
  

Hi, folks.

Not sure if this is the right category. Feel free to move it if not.

Curious if anyone has insight on any way to transfer credits from Intercoast College (ACCET-accredited) to TESU, UMPI (or, for that matter, Excelsior).  I have a friend who works as a drug/alcohol counselor and got a certificate (and maybe part of an associates) from Intercoast.

I'm guessing it's a no, but I'm wondering if there might be a way to credit-wash to get her some credits for the work she's done.  I know that students at DLCAS.com have successfully transferred credits (or credit equivalencies) to a couple of regionally accredited schools, and I don't think that place has any accreditation at all.

It isn't the end of the world if she can't, but if she can... it will give her a leg up on completing a bachelor's degree.

Any input appreciated.

They seem to bill themselves as serious and to be taken seriously by their alums, but I keep seeing posts in various places stating that they are not accredited and/or have a degree mill reputation. 

What's the story on this outfit accreditation-wise?

I used a lot of the resources you get when you google, U.S goverment clep reddit. Adam norris was by far the most helpful, same with the quizlets, Im not sure why everyone hyped up modern states so much because I didnt really click with it at all. Im sure its useful for the voucher though but I didnt wanna go through with all that work. Know about PACS, Pluralism, Political behavior through demographics and there history, basic history on the documents, know why they were written, enlightenment john locke stuff, you need a strong foundation and youll be good. I also used lots of chat gpt, if you have hyper specific questions, its very good for learning in accessory. 

 I am so estatic i passed, I was so scared. 2 more to get into my dream college.  I am a little seasick thinking about the accounting and biology exam I have to complete next...    

You can do this! 



The test was easier then I thought, the difficulty is in the wording of the questions. I studied so much I knew top to bottom and they made the most basic terms I knew easily, very confusing. I tried to just breathe through them and imagine i was doing a practice exam. 


copyin' and pasting from reddit. I did all these religiously for about a week.  

• CLEP Study Guide Quizlet - this was good and included some of the Modern States questions so it was a good refresher. Link: https://quizlet.com/687372274/american-government-clep-2022-study-guide-questions-flash-cards/
  
  
• Terms Quizlet - this one had some good terms that came up on the test. Link: https://quizlet.com/2091670/american-government-clep-flash-cards/
  
  
• Overall Quizlet - this one was also good and had information from a bunch of different places compiled like it had the different Articles, some important cases, the thinkers, etc. Link: https://quizlet.com/89064488/clep-american-government-practice-test-flash-cards/
  
  
• Court Case Quizlet - this summed up the important court cases very well. Most of them didn't appear on the CLEP exam (and some random, lesser-known ones did) but it's still good to know nonetheless. Link: https://quizlet.com/27546487/major-court-cases-american-government-clep-flash-cards/
  
  
• Amendments Quizlet - this was good to fill in any blanks you may have in amendment knowledge. It's short and to the point which is useful. If you're really struggling with amendments, try to use the Matching Game feature of Quizlet until you've mastered most. It's definitely not necessary to know all amendments to pass though.

I'm finally looking at UMPI and seeing how there system is different than the other options in this space. 

They have a generic Gen Ed curriculum with 5 categories of learning, and several "objectives" each. 

At the beginning of the list, I was thinking each course listed was required. As I progressed 1/3 down the list, I realized that was way too many classes. The little blurb at the top of the page doesn't explain this. So here's my question:

In each objective, just one of the listed courses is required?

(And that includes the consideration that somes courses can pull double-duty and fill requirements for two objectives.)

Good afternoon, i wanted to check if it’s possible to have two accounts with SDC. I’ve reviewed the policy but I am seeking clarification as I’m trying to take advantage of the 30% off deal again. My current account no longer has an active membership, so I wouldn’t be using both accounts simultaneously. I recall seeing a post about this topic but couldn’t locate it through the search. Could someone please confirm or provide guidance on this?

Just checking to see if anyone is building any degree transfer lists for University of New Hampshire CPS?

I’m transferring accounting credits from WGU to either TESU or Excelsior. I have 118 accounting credits from WGU - so ideally I’d like to choose the school that lets me transfer in the up to the maximum.
Does anyone have any experience with the accounting degrees at Excelsior and TESU? I see TESU has the BSBA and BS in accounting and Excelsior has a BSBA. Between these three degrees which one is the most transfer friendly? Thanks!
