Hi everyone,

This is my first post, so be merciful if I miss something. Hopefully, I am doing this properly! 

I’m looking for guidance on how to efficiently earn my degree in Education while making the most of my current resources. Here’s my situation:

• I am a Canadian currently studying Computer Science at University of the People (UoPeople) but have decided to switch to Business instead. I am in my first year and only have a few credits.
  
• I have a scholarship at UoPeople, which makes it the most affordable option for me right now.
  
• I don’t have the upfront money to pay for a semester at UMPI or WGU, and it would take me about a year to save up for the required one/two semester needed to graduate from those schools.
  
• I also have access to Sophia.org and Study.com to help with earning credits.
  
• My real goal is to get a degree in Education, but UoPeople does not offer that option.
  

Hi all,
What's the most number of degrees from WGU that you've ever heard of a single person obtaining?  I've been looking at several YouTube channels about WGU, umpi, and other CBE programs. In addition to seeing people finish in 6 months to a year (although that is not the norm), I've noticed several people with multiple degrees from wgu. However, the most I've actually seen either on YouTube or on various forums have been people with three WGU degrees, although several of those folks were working on a fourth.

The reason why I ask is that I know that this forum as well as others like it are full of lifelong learners and many people here are using their annual tuition reimbursement from their employer.  So as long as their employer approves and they really like going to school I can imagine someone picking up a lot of these degrees. 

It reminds me of the guy who used to work for some University in Michigan and picked up 34 University degrees from that school simply by using tuition reimbursement.  In my own life I knew a woman who picked up three or four college degrees while working as an administrative assistant for that university.

I need some help on where I should be spending my time to complete my coursework.  For some reason a bunch of credits didn't transfer over from a Criminal Justice Academy so I need to goto the Source and Request a Transcript - maybe 20 elective credits give or take.

I work full-time and have 2 kids in elementary school - M-F work and get home around 6/630 - kids in bed by 830 so maybe have an hour or 1.5 hours.  Weekends are free.

I would like to get this done as soon as possible as I need to have any kind of Bachelor's Degree to use the Certified Financial Planner marks of which I already passed the exam.

Tried to login to work on course today, and the wording on the website is as follows:
We’re sorry but as of January 29, 2025, OnlineDegree.com is no longer offering its free courses.
We began on a mission to make college more affordable, and to keep our courses free… however, the costs associated with providing this to people have become too great. We made the difficult decision to close the doors.
If you’re an existing student, and would like to request we send a transcript to your university, please send an email to support@onlinedegree.com with your login email, the school, and their address.

By any chance has anyone mapped or done this through TESU?

Where would the best place to get a math degree online be? Sounds fun, I'm a math guy.

Arundhati Parmar at MedCity News Wrote:[At his Senate confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated] that President Trump has urged him to “end the hemorrhage of rural hospitals” by leveraging innovations like AI and telemedicine. Stating that would have been perfect. But then he went a step further by delving deeper into such “innovations,” as he called them.

“Cleveland Clinic has developed an AI nurse that you cannot distinguish from a human being that has diagnostics [capability] as good as any doctor,” he said, according to a livestream of the hearing. “We can provide concierge care to every American in this country even [in] those remote parts of Wyoming, Montana and Alaska, etc.”

There is only one problem.

No such AI nurse exists in the Cleveland Clinic. Here’s an emailed statement from a spokeswoman:

“We believe that the thoughtful and safe use of AI has the potential to enhance medical care for patients. We are utilizing the technology in many areas of our health system, and while we appreciate being mentioned as an innovator, we have not developed an AI nurse as part of our efforts,” wrote Andrea Pacetti, director of media and public relations.

So what could Kennedy have meant?

It’s entirely possible that Kennedy saw Hippocratic’s AI agent in action in a phone conversation with a patient […] Hippocratic AI’s CEO, Munjal Shah, has spoken eloquently (albeit fantastically) about a world where AI nurses could dramatically alter the landscape of chronic disease management.

But Shah was very clear that he is not going down the path of AI doing diagnostics.

“In fact, we explicitly are not even going to allow people to try to use it to do diagnoses,” Shah insisted in the October 2023 interview. “I don’t think it’s safe, honestly.”

Hello everyone, 

I am looking for information regarding University of Brazil, Campinas (Unibraz). On their website, they claim to be accredited: Unibraz Accreditation Page. However, I would like to verify whether this university is officially recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC) or not.

The reason for my inquiry is that their PhD programs are extremely affordable, as seen on this page: Unibraz PhD Programs. Given the low cost, I want to ensure that their accreditation is legitimate.
Does anyone have experience with this university or any official confirmation regarding its recognition?
Any insights or information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance

Although, I am just at the halfway point of my Year 2 Winter class, I just enrolled in my year two Spring class.


This time we will read  Michel de Montaigne’s The Essays; Blaise Pascal’s Pensées, Friedrich Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals, and Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams. In the Tutorial section of the course, we will do  a close reading of three books of the Bible: Genesis, Job, and Matthew.

But wait: That's not all!

I also just signed up for 

the FREE Dimensions of Diversity Information session. I hope this course opportunity is not irresistible but, as there is so much that I don't know , this one may be well turn into an additional investment.

I've always wanted to do a Penn Foster degree (because I think they can be completed really fast) but eventually found out that I wasn't able to because the programs are US-only and that Penn Foster global isn't open to Canadians either and so I was informed of their partner school, ICS Canada. Unfortunately, ICS Canada didn't have any degree programs.

But that school has now closed and on the website, it says to go to Penn Foster:

I left them a message on chat so I should be receiving an email back.
