Hi All,

Originally, years ago, I was going for a BA with a focus in Mathematics from TESU. Now my long-term goal is to become a Psych-NP, but I'm taking it step by step. Below is a table of the credits I have accumulated so far with the TESU equivalency.

Questions:

1. Do I need to fully complete a bachelor's degree as a prerequisite for an accelerated BSN program, or can I use the 111 credits I have?
   
2. Since I'd like to see if this is the right direction for me, I'd ideally like to start slow:
   • Which courses can I take now (without being admitted to a program) that I can still use for a BSN?
     
   • Would those courses be transferable to programs like that?
     
   • Where would be a good place that offers those courses with the necessary labs (online and self-paced preferred)?
     
   • What is a list of courses that most BSN programs require?

Hi does anyone know if credits from sophia are garunteed to transfer? I’ve seen some posts saying study.com doesn’t transfer over or pierpont not accepting some sophia credits. Also i’m a dual enrollment student so if anyone knows if that changes anything please let me know. I’ve also sent an email asking this question a month ago but i still haven’t received anything back. If anyone has any information it would be very helpful.
Note: I haven’t started taking sophia courses yet because i’m unsure if they would transfer but I would like to take these for now:
sophia:
Intro to chem
Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2
human and micro Biology 
English composition 1

Well, maybe not dogs and cats yet, but the government of NY has decided to kill pet squirrels.

"An upstate man whose beloved squirrel was cruelly killed by the state said he was treated like a “terrorist” when 10 government agents descended on his home during a five-hour raid."

It's good to see NY has their priorities right.

I’m seeking recommendations for the easiest and fastest courses at UMPI that fulfill the 2025 BLS in Management requirements. I’ve heard that the required number of courses is changing from 10 to 12—can anyone confirm this?

Hey everyone.

I'm working full-time, outside of the US, and want to become a lawyer eventually. The opportunity cost of not working for three years and increasing my cost-of-living by going to the US is just not worth it in my shoes, so I'm looking at online law schools.

I see there are many options, and they're usually either ABA accredited, CalBar accredited, or completely unaccredited (e.g. Novus Law School). I'm interested in EITHER ABA or CalBar schools (completely fine if I can only take the Bar in California).

I learned that CalBar accreditation requires a minimum of 32 months of study, and ABA has even stricter requirements for online degrees (uncertain?), so I suppose that's why I couldn't find any 2-year online JDs, although there are many 2-year in-person JDs.

That said, I want to know what's the fastest & cheapest online law school? I have a 175 LSAT and 4.0 uGPA (BSc from public state university).

Some schools I'm aware of:
- Purdue Global: 2 years, 8 months! 100% online! But over $50,000 and no significant scholarships (I asked). Can start in January!
- Albany Law School: 3 years, 3 months. Online. Only September 2025 start. 1 yearly in-person residency required.
- National University JFK Law: 3 years and $62,000+.
- Vermont Law: 3+ years, residencies required
- Colleges of Law: 3.5 years, residencies
- St Mary's online: 3 years, 8 months
- CSU, 3 years 5 months. 6 residencies needed (!)
- University of New Hampshire: 3 years, 5 months. 14 residencies needed.
- 4 years: South Texas, Abraham Lincoln, Northeastern, St Francis, Touro Online, Dayton, Lincoln Memorial... many others

So far Purdue Global seems like the best bet, but it's still over $50,000. Anything cheaper? Any other hack/method I could sit for a US bar in a quicker/easier way (for example, I know that if you're an attorney anywhere in the world, you can sit for the CalBar - anywhere I can do that for less than 50K/32 months?).

Any thoughts and information is greatly appreciated.

Now i ran into the next problem.
After successfully taking the IELTS online Academic exam, i discovered that TESU does not accept the results if I send them. But TESU is not listed in the organisations, which accept IELTS (appearantly TESU is not one of the 12500 organisation that do). I have reached out to IELTS and TESU. Ielts said that TESU needs to register on their website((https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/iel...UuMTIuMC4w)) in order to send them my results, and TESU made it clear that i am responsible for IELTS sending it directly to the admission.

Given this situation, I feel that I have taken the exam (which cost 420 USD) in vain now and I guess my only way to enroll now is to get 9 credits at another english speaking university.

Has anyone had problems with this before?

Hi all i am looking for a degree plan for a bsba at tesu. I am looking to maximize transfer credits and have a already fulfilled all of the gen ed’s and elective requirements. I am seeing if anyone has a degree plan that shows what courses I can take to fulfill the requirements for the bsba. I do not care what the concentration is in. Thank you guys in advance for all of the information and guidance this page has on it!

Hey
Has everyone here completed or is currently doing the BS in construction from TESU. Would like to know what you transfered in from Sophia, study etc. I need help with degree planning. Also can someone give me an idea about how much it would cost for an international student. 
Thanks in advance!

So before taking my ACTFL test, I went through like all the ACTFL threads on this forum and I found out that the consensus was that schools probably wouldn't accept an ACTFL test for English.

Turns out that University of the Cumberlands only accept the English ACTFL:

We received your speaking proficiency today; however, we wouldn’t be able to accept it as the Credly Achievement was for a test of Punjabi proficiency, and we only consider tests of English proficiency for credit equivalency.
