Lightbulb Dr. Zaborney Summer 2
Posted by: lv702777 - 07-04-2024, 09:23 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello Everyone, I hope you're well. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone in Summer Session Two has any info on what courses Dr. Z is instructing this session? I have taken two courses from him which were great. He is not taking all the course load anymore, so I also have taken another HTY/POS with Dr. Hinson. Both are great instructors. I did POS335 and POS489- Dr.Z, then POS343- Dr. H. If anyone has taken or is enrolled in another Dr. Z course not 335 or 489 can you share with me? I'd appreciate it. P.S. I will go to anyone, but I am looking for Dr.Z specifically as I know everyone raves about him, truth is he is very connected/accessible responds to e-mails, grades quickly, provides feedback, which makes the learning journey move along.

  Free college for "Senior citizens"
Posted by: jb111 - 07-04-2024, 06:00 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (8)

Hi.  So I'm trying to lay out education plans and my fiance says you know there are a lot of free classes at age 60.  That's 3 years away for me!  Age varies by state:
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-...s-by-state 
 
Some aren't free (and/or you pay for books/other fees) if trying for credit.  There seem to be some private colleges that offer discounts (much harder to search but they exist).

If there's any more info, please add to the thread.  Hope this helps with older folks' planning Smile

  Received offer for job I did not apply for after receiving doctoral degree.
Posted by: soliloquy - 07-04-2024, 04:57 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (7)

I recently accepted a dream job that I didn't even apply for! I initially interviewed for a position leading one department. During the process, a highly respected panelist seemed unimpressed with my presentation, which left me disheartened.

Surprisingly, the CEO called me shortly after the interview, offering a different role. Less than 24 hours later, I received a generous offer for the COO position, with a 133% salary increase from my current job.

I am thrilled to join an amazing team at the end of this month. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart... and He will make your paths straight." I'm grateful and amazed at how things have worked out. ? You all are the gift that keeps on giving.

  Are EDX MicroMasters Courses Transferrable to TESU?
Posted by: animuscerebri - 07-04-2024, 03:28 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi everybody,

according to this TESU link (see https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/edx-credit), you can transfer EDX MicroBachelors courses to TESU BACS. However, I haven't seen any information on whether you can transfer EDX MicroMasters courses to this degree program.

I'm asking, because I've completed three out of five courses in the EDX MicroMasters Program in Statistics and Data Science from MIT (see https://www.edx.org/masters/micromasters...ta-science), namely

- Probability - The Science of Uncertainty and Data
- Fundamentals of Statistics
- Machine Learning with Python: from Linear Models to Deep Learning

It would be great to be able to transfer grad school courses to BACS.

Has anyone had experience with this?

  Does Sophia's Project Management still come to UMPI as BUS 141?
Posted by: berlinerd - 07-04-2024, 02:22 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (7)

Sorry if I am asking in an incorrect thread, but...

does Sophia's Project Management still come to UMPI as BUS 141?

It's showing in mainestreet database as if yes. But I am ready to give an oath that I saw somebody here on forum telling that Sophia's course does not cover BUS 141.

Maybe I got hallucinations... trying to finish all this stuff and finally get my degree... Smile

  Online Electrical Engineering Degree
Posted by: OtterDen - 07-04-2024, 02:18 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

In contrast to Computer Science, Electrical Engineering usually requires in campus study. This may be due to the fact that electrical engineering focus on hardware and requires physical labs to teach the materials, such as building a circuit.

Recently, there have been more fully online Electrical Engineering Bachelors programs that is accredited by ABET. Here is a list I found online from Reddit:


  • Old Dominion University - Computer Engineering

  • University of Arizona - Electrical and Computer Engineering

  • University of North Dakota - Electrical Engineering

  • Stony Brook University - Electrical Engineering

  • Arizona State University - Electrical Engineering

  • Florida International University - Computer Engineering

  • Mississippi State University - Electrical Engineering

  • Clemson University - Electrical Engineering

  • Lamar University - Electrical Engineering

  • Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University - Engineering

  • Indiana Tech - Electrical or Computer Engineering
A few years ago, ASU (Arizona State Universitywas the only institution offering fully online ABET accredited BSEE. There were others that were partly online, but would require you to visit occasionally for weeks at a time.

Source:
  1. Online Bachelor Degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering : r/ECE (reddit.com)

Something to keep in mind: Although it sounds close, Electrical Engineering Technology is a significantly different degree than Electrical Engineering.

Use this link to find out: https://amspub.abet.org/aps/name-search?...eOnly=true

This link will lead to a search page on the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) website. This specific URL is configured to search for accredited online programs in Electrical Engineering. ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that accredits post-secondary education programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.

Using this link, you can find detailed information about accredited fully online electrical engineering programs. The search results would typically include information such as the name of the institution, the specific degree program, and its accreditation status, which ensures that the program meets certain quality standards important for future employment and licensing qualifications in engineering fields.

  12-18 months PhD in Health Sciences - Faulkner University
Posted by: michaeladsmith2 - 07-04-2024, 01:10 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (18)

I recently contacted Faulkner University and spoke directly with Dr. Cody Thompson, Program Director. 

Let me share two things.


1. I already hold a DHA (Doctor of Healthcare Administration) from Virginia University of Lynchburg. In speaking with him about transfer of doctoral credits, here is his direct response: 

"Dr. Smith,


My apologies for the delayed response. It looks like I could give you credit for 8310, 8309, and 8306. I can't apply credit for multiple courses from the same course, and these are the most clear to apply to our coursework from your DHA.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cody"

2. Outside of my specific scenario, the program is actually 18 months. 10 courses, plus Dissertation. The courses are all 5 weeks long [https://www.faulkner.edu/academic-resources/academic-calendar/#5week].

I would be done in less time based on three courses being transferred. 

"This fully online graduate program consists of 10 didactic courses, totaling 30 credit hours, which can be completed in one full year. This is followed by five dissertation courses that total 15 credit hours. The dissertation phase can be completed in six months, depending on the student."

https://www.faulkner.edu/graduate/gradua...es-phd-hs/

And of course, Faulkner University is RA with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

For a PhD it's pretty economical @ $780/credit x 45 credits = $35,100 (approx)

  Question about LawShelf
Posted by: TINASAM - 07-03-2024, 05:56 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Does anyone know where these courses could transfer into? Like what programs/degrees and from what schools? I'd love to take some of these, but would rather know that they can be brought in to some degree so that they can be useful.

I'm in the middle of a huge health flare and immense brainfog so I hope that the above makes sense, it does in my head. Smile
