  TESU Law school, NO GPA, almost all ace transfer credits, and 2 Fs?
Posted by: CanICode - 07-28-2025, 05:33 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (10)

Hey everyone,

Long time no see.

I got a full ride to law school. I absolutely slaughtered the LSAT which covered all holes.

  Degrees in Content Creation?
Posted by: LevelUP - 07-28-2025, 04:53 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

If we address the elephant in the room, we might acknowledge that many students these days want to be YouTubers or online creators. So what they need is to learn how to create content effectively.

What Is a Content Creator?

Given that, could we list some links to online degree programs related to content creation?

I am confused: SDC Philosophy 103 now comes in as an elective. Can it still be used to fulfill a bunch of GE requirements? Thanks.

If someone takes a course via an alternative provider and then changes his/her mind and wants to take it a second time at UMPI to count for the 30 credits, is that possible?

Just a warning but Sophia is apparently cracking down which I am not surprised about in the least. A lot of crying going on over at Reddit.

Question 6sigma - worth it? with ASQ certificate?
Posted by: Maltus - 07-27-2025, 03:05 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Since I'm enrolled at a regular state university I could take the first six sigma-step (yellow belt) for free. As an Add-on I could get a AQS-certificate for EUR 180 (about 200 USD). I'm really interested in learning about this method and the yellow belt only takes 8 hours. Of course they want to sell you the green and the black belt as well
Has anyone ever done 6sigma at all? What do you use it for?

And ist the yellow belt on its own worth it - even if I decide not to take the green and black belt?
Does the ASQ-certificate make a huge difference on my resume or is it just a waste of money?

  Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF) Missed Attention to Detail
Posted by: Charles Fout - 07-27-2025, 11:13 AM - Forum: Military Discussion - Replies (5)

So I'm reading news stories, with photos, about the  Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (CMSAF). So the Air Force senior enlisted person is getting blasted for addressing Airman while his neck tie was too short. Silly rule, but it is a rule and, thd CMSAF is obligated to be the perfect exemplar of uniform standards. 

I assume he has his own decent size staff of senior enlisted people. I think his staff failed him. They should not have let him appear in public without a perfect uniform. This may appear to be insignificant. I think this little case study deserves discussion. 

Does it even matter that his tie did not cover his Belt buckle?

What difference does a leader's appearance make?

Did his staff fail him(I think they did), or is he the only one responsible for his uniform?

  Cheapest Bachelors, any degree..CBE preferable
Posted by: Edriveless - 07-27-2025, 07:35 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (36)

Your Location: United States (I’m the sponsor. My friends daughter whom I’m the godparent of a girl who lives in the Philippines in the province)
Student’s Location: Province in the Philippines
Student’s Age: 22
What kind of degree do you want? Any — She doesn’t yet know what specific field to pursue, but she needs a bachelor’s degree to qualify for decent jobs in the Philippines. We are open to suggestions that are fast, practical, and employable.

Current Regionally Accredited Credits:
She completed 2 years of a tourism degree at a local college in the Philippines (not regionally accredited, but possibly transferable depending on the school). We’re hoping she can transfer those credits into a full online program.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
None yet, but open to exploring Sophia.org or Study.com if needed.

Any certifications or military experience?
No certifications yet.



Extra Context:
I’m helping fund her education, so we’re looking for something under $1,000 USD total. Ideally it would be fully online, self-paced or competency-based, and open to international students, since she will likely remain in the Philippines. Accreditation doesn’t need to be regional as long as the degree can be used locally for employment or possibly evaluated later on.

Questions:

  1. What are the most affordable options (under $1,000 total) for finishing a bachelor’s degree online for someone in the Philippines?
  2. No need to transfer but if there is anything that can be 1k or less that is self pads/CBE for a good bachelors any degree so can find a good job to help her family 
  3. Is ENEB (with IEE or WES evaluation) a practical path if she needs a degree just to meet job requirements, not for grad school?
  4. Are there self-paced or competency-based programs that are fast, practical, and budget-friendly, even if non-traditional?

Thank you all for any advice or recommendations!

  Is this possible or a far away dream?
Posted by: HonuDiver - 07-26-2025, 08:31 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Hello!

My GPA wasn’t the best and I have attended other colleges throughout my life. It’s never “stuck” but recently I decided my dream was that I wanted to go to law school (I turned my life around) but I never thought it was possible with my history of bad grades. Then I got to thinking I need to take a bunch of credits to get a better grade. I was originally thinking of using UMPI to get an undergrad but now I’m wondering if it would be possible to use it to boost my GPA. Or if there are other schools that are self paced and graded to get my GPA up. I don’t need anything fancy for law school - I’ve considered liberty or somewhere with a low/moderate acceptance rate. 

Thanks!
