With more AI/Machine Learning Classes moving online and for ACE credit, is there a degree yet? Minimal in-institute classes allow us to transfer as much as possible. Between Google, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and more, getting classes within AI/Machine learning to 30 credits is very doable.

Hello everyone, I've been busy! I hope you've been great! Currently, I am working on business policy strategy and business analytics at UMPI. The workload has exceeded my expectations! Anyway, I have three classes left. I will take two classes next session and one in the spring. I've heard BUS325 is complicated, so I will do that one last due to the fact that my current business policy strategy class is so long and I feel tired. Unless there is a problem, I will take these classes in the following order. Any thoughts?

Thanks

BUS 353 Business Ethics

BUS 335: Organizational Behavior

BUS 325 Financial Management

Hello everyone!

I previously sought help from this forum to determine how to obtain an accounting degree with the goal of becoming a CPA. After much research and reflection, my goals have since changed and I am now eager to start a career in sales. Since I received some incredibly helpful advice before, I hope that you will be willing to help me again.

Since experience is highly valued in sales, I am currently applying to entry-level roles. While I understand that having a degree is not a necessity in this field, I still want to get my bachelor’s degree because I think it will help open doors for me. In particular, a common way of entering business-to-business sales is through a trainee program but the vast majority of companies require applicants to have a bachelor’s degree. While I would ideally like to specialize in a technical/scientific industry in the future (e.g. healthcare, industrial, SaaS), I think majoring in business administration will give me the most options. Thus, I anticipate pursuing UMPI’s BABA in Project Management & Information Systems but would like to hear your advice.

Your Location: Ohio, USA
Your Age: 22
What kind of degree do you want?: Open to suggestions but most likely business administration - anticipating pursuing UMPI’s BABA in PM & IS

Budget: I don’t have a strict budget but would prefer to keep it under $8K. Cheaper is better unless it takes considerably longer.
Commitments: I intend to work during my studies but do not yet know if it will be full-time or part-time.
Dedicated time to study: I can dedicate as much time as needed to study when I am not working. I anticipate this being about 20 hours per week if I work full-time and at least 30 hours per week if I work part-time.
Timeline: I don't have a strict timeline but my goal is to obtain my degree in less than 1 year.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I expect to pay for my degree out-of-pocket but will continue researching my options.

My buddy noticed the website stated 113 credits out of 120, I got a friend in the miilitary who is looking to transfer all his sophia credit which is 128 credits.

He didnt take any previous college credit prior to doing Sophia, and doesnt have any Study.com or Straighterline credit. 

I believe he is looking into Bachelors of Professional Studies in Business and Management. I tried looking at the catalog and but it was a little confusing to navigate and match up what classes align to the sophia transfer equivilancy sheet.

Hi,

Do we have a list of PhD funded programs which are not required application fee?

I noticed yesterday that all of the courses with statistics.com have expired on 09/30/2024 with ACE. Hopefully they are in the process of renewing, but in the meantime just be aware of it and hold off on taking classes with them. Not sure how that will influence the TESU Bachelor's in Data Analytics if these courses don't end up getting their ACE accreditation renewed.

I am applying for your space at umpi, but they require my college transcript, which I don't have. I wonder if there is an alternative option?
BTW I had thought about Pierpont AAS but I found it on 10/04. I was sad.

I wonder how the school knew he used AI. ChatGPT will answer the same question in different ways due to its algorithm to provide unique answers. In my last degree program I had to do peer reviews, and I was certain that some were written using AI. I pasted the text to ChatGPT and asked if those were written by AI, and it gave the same answer, "it was written by someone with advanced writing skills, or had help from AI". That's not proof.

To everyone on this forum that has helped me out, thank you so much for the guidance you've provided. I can happily say that I received my final grade in my last UMPI class (a 4)( and have finally completed the required coursework to finish my undergrad journey!

After trying (and failing) college several times between 2009 and 2016, I started again in January of 2024. I had somewhere to the tune of 30 RA credits and some military JST credits mixed in. Since then, I have completed 46 Sophia credits, 9 Coursera credits and 30 UMPI Credits. I also received my BOG AAS with emphasis in criminal justice in the spring and used that as springboard to keep me going.

I completed 10 UMPI courses in two YP terms, and I will graduate with a BLS degree with minors in criminal justice, history and political science.

It hasn't all been smooth sailing. It seemed like life got in the way as much as possible- a few bouts with COVID, a nasty case of shingles, and both parents dealing with some scary illnesses, but I made it through. This forum is truly a great place to draw guidance, inspiration and motivation from.

To anyone who is still plugging away at their degree- keep going! You will get through it and it will all be worth it at the end.

Thanks again, and take care.
