  Advanced Placement equivalencies at TESU
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 02-19-2025, 11:46 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - No Replies

Do we know the equivalencies of Advanced Placement exams? Not just the number of credits but also exactly how they come in?

Our daughter is interested in the BA in Arts degree, and she was wondering if the 3 AP classes would fulfill the 9 credits of studio arts for the degree (i.e. Drawing, Painting, 2D Design).

  RA like ASU with option to add credit at end of course?
Posted by: LastFrontierLearner - 02-19-2025, 10:52 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Are there any other RA online classes like ASU's Earned Admission that give the option of making the class for-credit at the end of the course instead of the beginning? I've tried Googling and searching through the forums here but haven't come up with anything. 

EDIT: For a bit of context, my 13-year-old twins are homeschooling and they are chomping at the bit to start college classes. They definitely have the reading ability and motivation, but I'm looking for options where they could potentially earn RA credit with a bit of a safety net as they adapt to the rigor of college-level classes.

Thank you - I have already learned a ton from all of you!

  Need Help Finding a Transferable Public Health Data Systems and Informatics Course
Posted by: karaloehrer - 02-19-2025, 01:29 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Hi everyone, a friend of mine needs to find a course on Public Health Data Systems and Informatics that will transfer to Grand Canyon University (GCU). They cannot graduate until they complete this requirement, and since they’re already halfway through their capstone, they’re feeling really stressed.

Has anyone successfully transferred a similar course to GCU, or do you know of any accredited universities or online programs that offer it? Any recommendations or guidance on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help!

  Transferring undergrad alternative credits when applying for Graduate Program?
Posted by: Kgaul - 02-18-2025, 07:56 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (3)

I received a BSBA via many alternative credits for my second Bachelor's degree in 2017(not at WGU), I am a certified teacher and need 3 more credits in Math on an RA transcript in order to get another subject area certification.

The question: If I take a straighterline Math now, and apply to a WGU Master's program will the Math class show up on my WGU transcript when I send in my transcripts for the Masters program, or will they just take my Bachelors' degrees as a whole?

I only spoke to them via the chat right now and they said yes, but I am skeptical. Does anyone have any experience in this area?

  Credit-eligible courses for computer modeling for lathing?
Posted by: Welons - 02-18-2025, 02:22 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I need to do some 2D modeling or technical drawings by hand for my side-projects that I do on a lathe. If I could draw or do this on a computer it would make my life easier.

I searched Sophia, study.com as well as Coursera but couldn't find anything where I'd get credits. Does anyone know if there are any credit-eligible courses? Might as well make it count if I can before I spend a week on Udemy.

  Completed Final Class - East Texas A&M / TAMUC
Posted by: ATM925 - 02-17-2025, 11:34 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (5)

Well, it took a little longer than expected, but I completed my final courses for my BAAS in Occupational Safety and Health last week.  The term ends on 2/28, and I will graduate in May, but I am done!  Thank you all who guided the way.  I started college in 2002 and left in 2004 and had 12 credits... I found this site in 2022 and decided it was time to finish my degree. It took me a while to get started, but this past year, I worked through a lot of Sophia courses, and between my 12 from the early 2000s and 66 from Sophia, I was able to transfer 78 into TAMUC/ East Texas A&M and completed 42 credits as outlined below:

Term: Summer II 2024 - 9 credits
CID

342
Leading Innovation

 
MMJ
1307
Mass Commun in Society
 

ORGL
339
Legal Issues in Organizations

Term: Fall 2024 - 2 - 7 week terms - 18 credits
PSCI
2306
Texas Government

SHCB

SHCB
301
Tech Wrtg & Comm in Saf & Heal
 

 
SHCB
310
Legal Aspec of Safety & Health
 

 
SHCB
320
Measures of Safety Performance

 
SHCB

Human Factors in Occupa Safety


Term: Spring 2025 - 15 credits
SHCB
340
Safety and Health Program Mgmt


SHCB
358
Essentials of Proj Mgmt


SHCB
410
Environmental Law and Mgmt


SHCB
430
Hazardous Materials


SHCB
499
Safety and Health Capstone


So, I was able to finish in less than 1 year after transferring 78 credits.  The cost was $3,000 ($750 per term).  It is my understanding that the cost is now $1000 per term, but since I started when it was $750, I was grandfathered in at that term price.  Overall, it felt like a good value, and I am happy with the result.  Now, I am looking into graduate programs.

For anyone on the fence, just start... there's no time like the present!

I found this school through a Reddit comment. I'm surprised nobody knew about this.

  WGU BA or MAT Teaching (Elementary & Special Ed)
Posted by: hmichelle - 02-17-2025, 04:03 PM - Forum: WGU - Western Governors University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello all, I am looking for advice as someone who has a BA already in Marketing. I want to become a Teacher and am wondering if it is advisable to do the Elementary Education Master's at WGU if my BA is in an unrelated field. Do I need experience or prior knowledge in Teaching to be successful in this MAT at WGU? Would it be wiser to just get another BA in Teaching, if I go the WGU (online education) route? 

Thank you in advance for your help!  Smile

  Can I get courses added to a transcript for free?
Posted by: evanmonast - 02-17-2025, 01:12 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Hey all, I am wondering if there is any school out there that would let me transfer a few Sophia courses and put them on a transcript for free. I am in the military and earning a few college credits helps me towards my next promotion. 
I have my BOG associates from Pierpont which was free at the time and my BAS from UMPI. If I “reapplied” to these schools could I then have them add 4 Sophia courses to my transcript without applying them toward a degree and having to pay for tuition? Or any other school? 
I only need the courses put on a transcript and I do not need them to actually be applied to any degree as I’ve already transferred and applied 90 credits in the past.

  BA in Religion
Posted by: Atalanta - 02-16-2025, 11:28 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (8)

Your Location: Canada (Toronto)
Your Age: 55
What kind of degree do you want?: BA in Religion from TESU. Eventually I would like to work up to a doctoral degree, but this appears to be a cheaper option to start with than attending a divinity school, even an online one. Plus it gives me a lot more flexibility in my choice of courses and doesn’t force me to subscribe to any particular creed.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None yet
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None yet
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: as low as possible.
Commitments: I am a full-time freelance translator and my work commitments can vary wildly from week to week.
Dedicated time to study: Varies depending on workload.
Timeline: No hurry; this is more of a bucket list thing than something I really need.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Self-funded, probably.



Hello everyone,

I have been lurking and reading your posts for quite a while now, and the wealth of information is truly amazing, it has been an enormous help! Now it’s my turn to introduce myself and ask a question.

I already have a Bachelor’s degree in Music and a Master’s degree in Translation Studies, both of which I obtained from universities in the UK. I have a hankering to work up to a doctorate, but there are no affordable doctoral degrees in translation, and the academic side of music frankly bores me to tears. However, I am fascinated by religious studies and also took some courses in this area while I was doing my Bachelor’s.

After a lot of research and deliberation, I’ve decided I’d like to do the BA in Religion offered by TESU, for the reasons I outlined in the template. According to the program requirements ( https://www.tesu.edu/degrees-programs/ba...ligion.php ), I will need 24 credits in religion, but these will have to be transferred from elsewhere. I was wondering if anyone else has done this program and can tell me where they got these credits from?

In this area, I am keen to focus on New Testament theology and early Christianity, including a course on New Testament Greek if I can find one. I have already found a couple of interesting courses at ASU, and there’s one at Athabasca here in Canada that I would love to do, but…. it all adds up to an awful lot of money. If anyone has any tips on where I can find courses in religion and theology that offer transferable credit at a reasonable price, I’d be really grateful. And of course, it would be great to hear about your experiences with this program in general.

Many thanks in advance!
