  Study.com and UMPI Transfer Credits – Recent Updates
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 2 hours ago - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - No Replies

Many here already know Study.com as a solid transfer option for UMPI, but a few recent updates make it worth another look. They continue to offer ACE-approved courses that transfer smoothly, and they’ve made several changes that streamline the process for students:
 
New pricing model: There’s now a $95/month plan that includes 70 of their courses (gen ends and prereqs). You can work on two courses at a time but can complete as many as you’re able to finish within the month, which can make it more practical to complete several classes before your next UMPI session.
 
No more proctored exams: Finals are now open book and open note, which can help people who have test anxiety. Faster grading: Written assignments are usually reviewed within a couple of days, allowing students to move forward without waiting.
 
Mobile access: The new mobile app lets you complete lessons and quizzes from your phone — a useful option for anyone balancing school with work or family.
 
If you’re planning your next UMPI session, these updates could make Study.com an even smoother way to fill in remaining credits.

  Psychology 2nd degree plan
Posted by: evanmonast - 6 hours ago - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - No Replies

Hello all, in 2022 I earned my BAS with minors in Political Science and Social Studies. I had a ton of fun in school and it helped me land a job in federal law enforcement. I just came back from a military deployment and am looking to make a career change (still in federal LE). In order to do this, I would like to boost my odds a little more and go and get my BA in Psychology with a Pre-Law and Sociology minor. 

I've gone ahead and did the what-if report that UMPI offers and there are a number of courses I will need to complete. The good news is that time is not a worry of mine. On the other hand, grades are. I would like to keep the door open for law school down the line and for this reason I am wondering if there are easier sources of credit for the following courses...I don't necessarily care about the amount of work required, just if the professors are known to be harsher/more lenient on grading and what the popular paths are for transferring in credits. 

For the Psychology major the courses needed are

PSY 205 Lifespan Development
PSY 311 Research Methods I
PSY 446 Psychobiology

and 9 from the following 

PSY/SOC 200
PSY 235
PSY 341
PSY 360
PSY 370
PSY 374
PSY 375
PSY 380
PSY 382
PSY 448
PSY 496


For the Pre-Law minor the only course I need is Business Communication

For Sociology I need any 3 UL SOC courses.

  Finnish universities are no longer affordable for non-EU/EEA
Posted by: SunnySideOfBPD - 7 hours ago - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - No Replies

Hi guys. I was scrolling the MOOC pages of Finnish universities, and it seems that starting last year it's no longer possible to pay something less than 10000 euros per year for a proper degree. I am a non-EU citizen residing in the EU and I don't fall to the fee exemption category, so if you have the same situation as mine, you shall think of other solutions (i.e., the US institutions).

  Advice requested: accelerating a Bachelor's in Accounting or Business
Posted by: mytime - 10 hours ago - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - No Replies

Your Location: 

  • MN, US
Your Age:
  • 40
What kind of degree do you want?:
  • Ideally, a BS in Accounting or Business (Admin/HR/Operations Management, etc.).
  • Degrees are school-specific, based on a tuition benefit through my employer (list included below). 
  • While Accounting is my top choice due to my 20 years of experience in the field, the most important aspect in choosing a degree at this point is the speed at which I can complete it.
  • I plan to pursue a master's degree in accounting, business, HR, data analytics, or a related field after earning a bachelor's degree. I do not plan to pursue a CPA license.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
  • 0, due to credit age and/or applicability to the degrees I'm interested in.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
  • 0 - I recently enrolled in courses through Sophia Learning.
Any certifications or military experience?
  • No military experience. 
  • I have certifications in a different field (healthcare) that would not be applicable, per the advisors I've spoken with.
Budget:
  • N/A - the degree will be covered by a tuition benefit through my employer. 
  • I plan to cover the cost of the ACE credits so I can transfer in the maximum number of credits and accelerate. 
Commitments:
  • I work part-time, 30-ish hours per week, in a flexible, self-directed role.
Dedicated time to study:
  • 30-ish hours per week.
Timeline:
  • 9-12 months (or less) would be ideal. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement:
  • Tuition assistance is provided through my employer, as outlined below. My preference would be a degree program covered at 100%, since I am aiming to accelerate. I'm open to the other options as well.
    • Bellevue University – Degrees Covered at 100%
      • Bachelor of Science in Management

  Taking labs with classes - how does this work?
Posted by: suzycupcake - Yesterday, 04:33 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (9)

Hey everyone -

I avoided all the sciences as best I could for as long as I could and here I am..

I'm taking some straighterline courses with labs and this might sound silly to people who have done labs before but how do I do this? Do I do wait until this lab kit comes in the mail and then start the course (Anatomy and Physiology I) or is the lab portion a separate course itself? 

And how do you actually do this? Do you take pictures or videos of what you are doing and mail them somewhere?

TIA!

  Recent Study.com Updates for WGU Students
Posted by: bjcheung77 - Yesterday, 12:13 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - No Replies

Questions about the best way to finish gen eds or electives before starting at WGU come up often. Study.com has made a few updates recently that may make it a more convenient option for some learners. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new and why it might matter for WGU-bound students:
 
Pricing and flexibility: Study.com’s new $95/month plan can work well if you’re completing multiple courses in a short time. With open-book finals and quick grading, it’s easier to stay productive throughout a billing cycle.
 
Course variety: Their catalog covers a broad mix of subjects, which can make it simpler to find everything needed for WGU degree requirements in one place.
 
No more proctored finals: Open-book, open-note exams remove the need to schedule or sit through proctoring — a nice change for anyone juggling work or family commitments
 
Fast grading: Assignments are typically graded within a couple of days, helping students stay on track when trying to finish courses before starting at WGU.
 
Course structure: Lessons are short videos, which some people find helps maintain focus compared to longer formats.
 
These updates could be useful for students looking for more flexibility.

  Unidema and Harvard Collab Incoming
Posted by: Kalas - 11-03-2025, 03:32 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (5)

Got an email today advising me that an amazing new collaboration with Harvard is coming soon. You may know Unidema as a Spanish school of cheap propio master's degrees regularly featuring every degree they have for less than 100 euros on groupon.es. Unidema is...not exactly a high-end propio, only offering digital participation trophies with no transcripts. You can take the classes for free and only need to pay if you want said digital participation trophy. I tried the international relations course before it was pulled and wasn't particularly impressed. Everything is in Spanish but translates just fine with Google. 

I'm not expecting anything useful to come from this, but you never know. If the collab degrees have Harvard's name on them and have a transcript that looks semi-professional it could be worth playing some evaluator lottery. The email is below, as translated by Google.


UnidemaPro (Unidema & Harvard)
The program we never imagined launching
Hi Anon,

I'll be brief. As we mentioned, this email isn't (yet) the important one, so you can leave it on read. The next one probably won't be ?

Launching UnidemaPro, where you can train and get certified by Unidema and Harvard (yes, the most prestigious university in the world according to the Shanghai Ranking), is the biggest event in our history. This isn't just because of the enthusiasm and time we've dedicated to it, but also because of the responsibility we have to do it right.


That's why we need you.
We need your opinion.

It literally takes 30 seconds.


Fill out the survey here (30 seconds)


https://f1muh.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com/mk/cl/...9hR-QTLU3v

In upcoming emails, we'll include the entire enrollment process.
It's a unique opportunity that I wouldn't let slip away under any circumstances (for whatever reason...).

Talk to you soon ?
