  Online credit course at community college
Posted by: obonis - 09-13-2024, 07:22 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (5)

I applied for admission in st Louise community college from Bangladesh. They sent me email with my stlcc id saying that "student id number (A number) is sent in a different email". but I didn't get any email. When I sent email to them they said I would get it in a separate email. Then I waited, checked spam and when I got no email, I again emailed them. They said I need to go to the campus in person.what to do?

  Feeling overwhelmed
Posted by: JerBear3000 - 09-12-2024, 03:17 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi there

Married, sole bread winner, 34, two kids in North Carolina. Have a good career currently but thinking of pursuing my dream of being a therapist/trauma specialist. I have no education at the moment. WGU has a bachelors of psychology now. It feels scary to consider making the leap, the investment, and doing something new. My kids are young so I want to enjoy the time with them as much as possible. Is it better to pursue knocking out the degree at an accelerated rate or taking one class at a time and going the long game? Could I take one class at a time that is condensed?

  TESU BA Math and CS Degree Planning
Posted by: thornytumbleweed - 09-11-2024, 06:39 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (30)

Hello everyone.  I've been a long time lurker and am finally getting my act together to pursue something that I have wanted to do for a long time.  Specifically to get a math/CS degree.

I've attached a .pdf with an outline of what what I currently have planned.  

Some background first though.  I have a BS in geology from the 1990s.  It is from an RA state university in California.  I also have well over 100 credits from a couple of California community colleges.  Because of this, I am not worried about fulfilling the general education requirements.  If something does come up, I know that there are a lot of resources here to determine what to CLEP or do for any GE requirements.  

I have the following Math Courses
College Algebra
Trigonometry
PreCalculus
Calulus I, II
Non-linear Algebra
Number Theory
Statistics
Tests and Measurements
A few (9 credits) UL Math Education classes from when I thought about being a math teacher.


I plan to take the following 
Linear Algebra
Calculus III
Discrete Math

I am curious about being able to take statistics classes at statistics.com and apply them for the math major.  Can this be done?  Or are they only for the data science majors.  I am specifically interested in things like multivariate statistics, regression analysis and several other courses there.  Is there a list for what classes at statistics.com transfer to at TESU?

I have several CS credits that are quite old in Fortran and BASIC.  I doubt that these are valuable anymore.  More recently I have done the following
Python Programing
SQL 
Intro to databases
Intro to analytics

I plan to take mostly study.com courses to manage my budget for the remainder of the CS courses as detailed on the wiki at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ience_Plan

I have also completed two ACE accredited certificates on Coursera that give credit at TESU according to the wiki at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera 

What I am curious about is how two majors works at TESU.  Specifically CS and Math.  Both courses indicate that you can include natural science, math, and computer science as electives.  How many of these electives can overlap between math and CS?  Do they count anything from my first degree?  

A few final thoughts.  I am semi-retired and this is a passion project that doesn't have a large budget.  I have seriously thought about getting a masters in statistics when I fully reach retirement age.  It'd be fun to teach statistics at a community college in retirement!  Getting the BA in math and CS would enable me to pursue an MS in statistics.  

Thank you in advance for taking your time to answer my questions.  I've tried to research as much as I could; but I recognize that I will need some of your expertise too.

  Seeking Academic Writing Resources for UMPI BAS Degree
Posted by: garveymoshe - 09-11-2024, 02:52 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello everyone,
I’m nearing the completion of my Pierpont degree and planning to transition to the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) for their Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) Degree Plan. Before applying, I want to refresh my academic writing skills.
Could anyone recommend resources or materials on academic writing? Does UMPI have its own book on the subject? I know that Thomas Edison State University (TESU) uses “Writing Research Papers: A Complete Guide” by Lester, J. D., & Lester, J. D., Jr. (2018) for their capstone courses. Does UMPI have an equivalent resource?
Any tips or materials you could share would be greatly appreciated!

  Seeking interviewees with non-accredited/non-traditional degrees for Ohio State Study
Posted by: mitchell1857 - 09-10-2024, 02:36 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Hello!

My name is Sam and I'm a doctoral candidate at Ohio State studying non-traditional colleges and universities. I previously posted on DegreeForum earlier this year so if this post looks familiar, that's why. I was able to connect with a few helpful folks here who I interviewed about their experiences with non-accredited colleges and universities, and I am still seeking interviewees so I'm here again. I know that these kind of recruitment posts can sometimes be annoying for people, so I do apologize in advance, but I hope this won't be seen as too off topic. 

TLDR: Ohio State PhD Seeking adults who earned degrees or certificates from non-accredited colleges/universities for a 60-90 minute interview about their experiences. 

Formal call for participants

Hello all, I am a doctoral student at The Ohio State University in the department of Sociology. I’m currently completing dissertation research on non-accredited colleges and universities and I am recruiting adults who have obtained a degree from a non-accredited college/university and would be willing to participate in a 60-90 minute interview via Zoom or telephone to talk about their experiences. I am interested in talking to both individuals who intentionally sought out a degree from a non-accredited institution, or individuals who were unaware that their college was non-accredited at the time of earning a degree.

Some examples of non-accredited institutions (with some nuances regarding accreditation in certain countries): Rushmore University, ENEB University, Alexandria University, Ashwood University, Corllins University, Frederick Taylor University, Suffield University, Pacific Western University, Thornewood University (note: your institution doesn't need to be one of these to participate, these are merely examples).  
 
Your participation will help increase knowledge on these institutions, why adults might seek credentials from non-traditional colleges, and higher education more broadly.
 
For any questions or to participate, please contact me at mitchell.1857@osu.edu or fill out this Google Form.
