  online DHSc, NO Dissertation or Capstone, EVMS?
Posted by: lookingformore1 - 12-24-2024, 05:00 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (43)

After looking through this forum, seems the one DHSc w/o dissertation or capstone is at EVMS. Anyone know any others? I am a NP, the doctorate program for PA's wouldn't apply. 
If you have been through the EVMS program and have feedback, would be great to post as well , thank you

  UMPI Master of Science in Business
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 12-24-2024, 07:44 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (93)

[Update in July 2025: The Master of Science in Business landing page is now up, describing the first three concentrations noted below and accepting applications for courses starting in Fall 2025.]

The University of Maine at Presque Isle's proposal to add a Master of Science in Business (MSB) program by the YourPace competency-based education modailty is advancing through the University of Maine System. The proposal was approved by the Academic & Student Affairs Committee of the UMS Board of Trustees on December 16. The next step will be approval by the full UMS Board of Trustees on January 12-13. [Update: That approval was granted.]

A UMPI press release states these first three concentrations "are expected to be offered when MSB classes start in Fall 2025, and the remaining concentrations will roll out in future sessions:"

  • Communication [name was changed at launch from the name during planning, Communication Management]
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Human Resource Management
In the December meeting, President Rice stated the remaining concentrations are expected to become available in the next 18 months after that:
  • Business Intelligence
  • Finance
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Global Business Management
  • Healthcare Management
  • Project Management
All students would complete core courses in:
  • Managerial Accounting and Finance
  • Strategic Leadership
  • Business Analytics and Decision Support Systems
  • Sustainability, Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Change Management and Organizational Adaptation 
[Edit: In a later meeting, one other future concentration was discussed:
  • Artificial Intelligence Policy and Strategy (it seems likely the Master of Artificial Intelligence Management proposed separately earlier has been repositioned into an MSB concentration)]
The teaching staff will include existing faculty at UMPI and the University of Maine at Fort Kent, including two new full-time faculty at UMPI, one hired already, one hiring upcoming.

The proposal is available on pages 5 to 48 of the pdf pagination in this set of documents prepared for the December 16 meeting. Note that since preparation of that plan, the anticipated launch of the MSB was pushed to Fall 2025, not Spring 2025. The meeting is available on YouTube: the section discussing the MSB runs from 12:07 to 49:46 here.

  How to get into an internship if you don’t need school credit?
Posted by: Dori001 - 12-24-2024, 06:53 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

I recently graduated with a B.A. in Film and Media Arts from Temple University and am doing two remote internships. I want to apply for more internships to gain experience, but many require school credit, which I no longer qualify for. Some only require proof of school enrollment, and a few don’t have requirements, but those are rare.

Do you have any advice? Is it possible to enroll in an affordable college for one class to qualify for school credit, or are there other options?

It’s hard to find jobs without experience or connections, and I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you!

  Denzel Washington Becomes Licensed Minister in COGIC
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 12-23-2024, 07:02 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

The great actor and director Denzel Washington became a licensed minister at the historic Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in Harlem this weekend, a church he attended as a child. His father had also been a minister. Denzel turns 70 this week. "It took a while, but I'm finally here," he told the congregation. He also received water baptism at the ceremony.

Reports describe a licensed minister in the Church of God in Christ denomination (COGIC), a more than a century old Pentecostal denomination with predominantly African American membership, as an in-training status which enables its holder to become an ordained minister or elder in the future.

It's great news for Washington, who discusses his faith in a recent oral history in Esquire: "Things I said about God when I was a little boy, just reciting them in church along with everybody else, I know now."

And it's a refreshing change from the many times media report a celebrity has become a minister, and it turns out to be an online ordination with little or no quality control.

  Non-Western History: ACE or NCCRS option?
Posted by: jg_nuy - 12-23-2024, 03:06 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi,
Has anyone found an ACE or NCCRS option for the Non-Western History requirement for the BA in History AOS at TESU? My son has had no luck so far and would love to find an option. The options from Study dot com don't work for this requirement.

  Degree Forum Wiki - are you inclined ?
Posted by: any4yeardegree - 12-23-2024, 11:51 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello DegreeForum members.

I noticed the Wiki needs donations but has not posted anything about it - that I'm aware of.  

I've used that Wiki many times over the years but never noticed they need donations - maybe the banner is only seasonal.  If you feel so inclined, I'm sure your contributions would be greatly appreciated.  Btw, I'm not an at all affiliated.

  I want to take the BIO101 Proctored Exam on Saylor.
Posted by: Trion1991 - 12-23-2024, 04:44 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (1)

I want to take the BIO101 Proctored Exam on Saylor. I chose to use Saylor because it's WAYY more affordable than the others. It would be really helpful if I could get some notes to study from since the material on Saylor has too much fluff. I'd be willing to pay for some good notes too. I'd also like to ask for some advice on the proctored exam.

I know this is a primarily american focused site, but i know a german fully online university that is really cheap and fully accredited in germany and US and Canada. its called international university of applied sciences, im still on the fence about going to it, so im just asking if you guys know about it and if its worth it for someone on a really tight budget.
