Hello to everyone

I recently found one of bjcheung77's comments, related to the presence of many UK universities/instituitions that provides an online Top-Up master's degree (Level 7 and so on), that can be done without having a bachelor's.

Do you guys know any UK university that provides this kind of degree?

Two Boston-area universities, the Massachusetts Institute for Technology in Cambridge and Brandeis in Waltham, announced plans to cover full tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn less than a certain threshold amount starting in fall 2025.

AT MIT, incoming students with an annual family income below $200,000 will have tuition fully covered by the university, and students from families with income below $100,000 will have their tuition covered as well as all other fees, like housing, dining, and an allowance for books and personal expenses.









MIT, Brandeis to waive tuition for students with families earning below a certain income

Hey there, 

I have decided to make a UMPI degree plan for the BABA: Accounting. If I have messed up somewhere in the Excel, please let me know. 

This is also the degree plan I am working towards, I am opening up my Sophia account (and then Study) soon, if there are any discounts please let me know. If there are any tips, "heads up," or anyway I can save time/money, please let me know.

I have piggybacked off user @Kylan11

DEGREE PLAN: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...ue&sd=true

Features:

• Class counter by Provider 
  
• Total and Earned Credits
  
• Completion percentage
  
• Upper Level Requirement Counter (must have the majority of UL classes completed at UMPI)
  
• Automatically marks classes as "Done" once Finish Date is filled in, and updates the counters
  

• The UMPI part is easily doable in 2 terms (even 1 if you have the time). I took the hardest/least interesting classes right away in the first term when my motivation was at a peak, so that Term 2 was extremely easy. Preference and difficulty are of course subjective, so think about it for yourself strategically.
  
• BUS 325 is I believe the longest class in this program. Lots of big milestones and the final is huge. You want to enroll in this class first, at the start of a session, and slowly work your way towards it while you complete other classes. 
  
• BUS 343 is likewise a bit more involved than other classes - although nothing like BUS 325. You may want to enroll in this class right at the start of your second term.
  
• Join the Discord! It's a great tool for staying motivated and has a ton of useful info.

The Mexican Institute of Public Health has offered online healthcare courses for a long time, and recently started issuing badges.

I never made any threads about them because the courses are expensive and don't offer transferrable college credit. Since 2017, they offer MOOCs in a variety of healthcare topics that are self paced.

Signing up for the course is free, but they charge a modest fee to obtain a certificate of completion (I haven't checked how much it costs).

Hello everyone,

I don't post often, but I did discover - for those interested - a Master of Arts in American History from Gettysburg College for $7,500. Its $750 per 3-credit course with a total of 10 courses:


https://www.gilderlehrman.org/masters-degree-american-history


Not a bad price at all. However, there is a bit of a barrier in place:

Eligibility: "We are currently accepting teachers, district supervisors, librarians, museum professionals, and National Park Service employees. Community college instructors are eligible to apply as well." Additionally, you need a bachelors to enroll in this program as well.

Though, you could get around this possibly if you do substitute teaching (maybe). It is recommended that you email maprogram@gilderlehrman.org for that info.

Further information suggests a "MA+15/30". My interpretation reads this as if you possess a master's degree, 15 of the 30 credits can be transferred. So the degree COULD be $3,750.

For all of those interested, I recently obtained an email (this morning) from O.P. Jindal University. They are changing their prices for the MAPP and Master in International Relations, Security, and Strategy via the partnership with Coursera from 6k to roughly 3k for those who may be interested. The degrees are also being streamlined from a 2 year format to a 1 year format. Per the email:

• Fully Online Master’s Degrees
  Both the MA IRSS and MAPP programmes can be completed entirely online via Coursera, offering the flexibility to finish within 12 to 24 months at your own pace.
  
  
• Comprehensive Curricula
  - MA IRSS: A deep dive into 21 core and elective courses on topics such as diplomatic practice, international security, and geopolitical strategy.
  - MAPP: An interdisciplinary curriculum covering public policy theory and practice, including economics, governance, programme design, social sciences, and research methodologies.
  
  
• Specialised Learning Tracks (MAPP Only)
  Choose from two specialisations—Data Analytics or Policy Design—to develop expertise that aligns with your professional goals.
  
  
• Global Faculty Expertise
  Learn from renowned scholars and experienced practitioners in the fields of International Relations, Security, Strategy, and Public Policy, ensuring a blend of theory and real-world insights.
  
  
• Interactive Learning Environment
  Both programmes offer a dynamic mix of pre-recorded lectures and live tutorials, creating an enriching and flexible learning experience.
  
  
• Global Alumni Network
  As a JGU student, you’ll join a prestigious network of professionals and global leaders, offering valuable networking opportunities.
  
  
• Affordable Fees
  The updated fee for both the MA IRSS and MAPP programme is ₹2,50,000, making world-class education even more accessible.

Hello, I'm new here and I have some questions about how the online diploma process works. After doing some research, I came up with a plan. First, I want to choose a school, then gather as many credits as possible from resources like Study.com and Sophia, and later enroll in the school and transfer those credits. Is this how the process works? For the school, I am considering TESU, which accepts international students. I am here to understand the process and figure out what kind of plan I should follow.
