Looking for opinions on the M.Ed. |

I am considering enrolling in UoPeople's M. Ed. What are your opinions on this program? I am currently working outside education. My use case for this degree would be to launch a new career as an international IB teacher in Asia or Africa.
How heavy is the course workload? How bad are the group projects? Do they expect you to have access to a K-12 classroom for research?

I just passed Managerial Communications 373 using the cheapest version of Study .com, the guide touched on mostly everything and I have manager experience. I am about to cancel my subscription for now since I don't see any for Business in Society 311. To those that have taken BUS-311 TECEP, what worked for you? I want to breeze through it and will probably schedule it next week. Working on Capstone for Health Services Technology BS to finally be done by May. Any study material would be appreciated, I avoid books if I can help it and prefer quizzes or videos but open to any material relevant. Thank you!

Help for my Kids from an OG |
Posted by: bmills072200 - Yesterday, 12:33 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice

Wow - It's been a while! I was one of the OG's on here many moons ago. I got my BS from Excelsior in 2008 and then an MBA from Jacksonville State in 2010. This forum was essential in my degree and I owe so much to a bunch a people on Instacert that led the way.
With that said, I'm now an old man with kids that are in the college exploration phase. I'd like some advice...
I have a 20 year old son that graduated homeschool 2 years ago and has been working for a couple of years debating the value of college. We think there would be some value for an in-person college experience for him. We are looking at Grand Canyon University (GCU) in Phoenix (We live in Colorado Springs). They have a large online presence, but we think he needs some of the in-person college experience to round out some of his social skills. With that said, he would like to complete his degree as quickly as possible.
GCU promotes Sophia, which is new to me, but looks incredible. Any information about Sophia (pros and cons) would be appreciated. Additionally, anyone with specific info on GCU and how to best expedite credits via CLEP/DSST/Sophia/etc would be greatly appreciated. It's been hard finding specific requirements on the GCU website about how many testing credits can be transferred in. He is looking at a Business degree.
My daughter is 17 and graduates in May from home school. She is probably looking at staying home for a year before any sort of in-person college experience. With that said, she has a good acumen for testing and work-at-your-own-pace type classes. Would you recommend Sophia for her? CLEP? I know it depends on the school and what they will accept, but what is the softest way to introduce her to this world?
I'm sorry for the relatively broad questions and I know there are probably discussions on all of these things that I have just not found yet here on the forum, but please humor me.
Thanks in advance!

Doctor of Social Leadership (DSL) Omega Graduate School (TRACS Accredited) |

So, I was looking at some of the schools on the TRACS website and found the Omega Graduate School also known as the American Center for Research in the Social Sciences (ACRSS) , which offers a Doctor of Social Leadership program similar to Virginia University of Lynchburg DHA program structure. The program only requires 36 credits and costs about $18,000, which comes out to $500 per credit; financing may be possible as they offer a payment plan that can be paid monthly for $250. The program does not require a dissertation but rather an action research project broken into two classes, DSL: Action Research Project Prospectus and Action Research Project.
It appears the program can be completed in 5 core sessions/semesters, which can be completed as fast as two years (full-time student)
Here is the catch: the school is a Christian school, and the students are required to incorporate Christian and religious themes into their work.
I just thought I'd share this in case anyone is looking for a doctorate program and is willing to consider a nationally accredited program.

Inching along and hoping to finally finish up my bachelor's this year after getting my BOG from Pierpont in December of 2024. I'm looking to get the BAS from UMPI with a minor in MIS and I want to make sure I'm on the right track with everything.

I was following the plan from the wiki that someone had shared, I don't think I need to complete the TEEX courses since I already seem to have enough technical credits, I skipped those (am I on the right track with this?)
So my plan is to complete the following Sophia courses over the next 3 months:
Critical Thinking
Intro to Nutrition
Intro to Programming w/ Python
Spanish I
College Readiness
Art History II
Ancient Greek Philosophers
Essentials of Managing Conflict
Project Management
US History II
Developing Effective Teams
Conflict Resolution
Human Biology
Intro to Biology W/ Lab
To hopefully maximize my transfer credits. Does everything look good?
