  Getting Art Degree from TESU: My Experience
Posted by: CreativeLearner - 09-03-2025, 09:13 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - No Replies

I just completed my BA in Art from TESU and will graduate this month. When I first started this journey, it was mentioned here that the Art degree at TESU is not well researched because few attempt it. I thought I would post my experience here to help add to existing information. My background: I started an art and graphic design based degree many years ago. When I applied to TESU, they took nearly all my old credits, even the older computer design classes. By comparison, my local community college practically laughed me out the door when I showed them my old Adobe classes. I was fortunate in that I did not have many studio classes left to complete. Studio classes are classes like painting, sculpture, etc and are very difficult to find online options for. TESU does not offer these classes and you have to bring them in from somewhere else. In my case, I was able to take my studio classes at my local community college, and TESU readily transferred them in. I also noticed they gave me upper level credit for some of my community college art classes which was helpful. If there is other information that would be helpful, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer!

  Judaic Studies Concentration at Charter Oak State College
Posted by: Endercreeper01 - 09-03-2025, 08:52 AM - Forum: COSC - Charter Oak State College Discussion - No Replies

I would like to get started with the Judaic Studies Program. However, I'm not sure where I could find the courses for such a program, or where I would begin.
Is there any way that I can find the courses elsewhere to take the Judaic Studies courses required?

  US Citizenship Should Not Be Required for Entry into the University
Posted by: Endercreeper01 - 09-03-2025, 08:49 AM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (4)

I am aware of Universities such as Western Governors University that require you to be a US Citizen in order to apply to their University. I don't agree with this policy. I would like for Western Governors University to open their University to International Students. 
I am also interested in finding a program here which does accept international students and doesn't require you to be a US Citizen, in order to be a part of the University. I haven't checked out the other institutions yet, besides Western Governors. However: This is certainly an important issue before I proceed.

  TES-1110-TECEP AI Unlocked: Tools, Prompts, and Possibilities
Posted by: fmsoa - 09-03-2025, 12:19 AM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - Replies (2)

Very easy 100%

60 MC Questions.
20: Basic ML/DL Concetps
20: Gen AI and Prompt Engineering
20: Ethics and Cybersecurity
Again, very basic, spent no time studying. Worked on the 30 sample questions got 29 correct.

Originally not planned to really take the test. Buy since it is free from the scholarship offer, decided to take it and still got Medical Terminology and Science of Caffeine as placeholders just in case

  What is the best first CLEP exam to take in 2025 for someone new to credit-by-exam?
Posted by: Arielbr - 09-02-2025, 09:52 PM - Forum: CLEP, DSST, and TECEP Exam Discussion. Also Modern States and InstantCert. - No Replies

I’m completely new to CLEP and other credit-by-exam programs (DSST, TECEP, etc.), and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the choices. For someone starting from scratch this year, what’s considered the “easiest” or most straightforward CLEP exam to begin with?

Also, is it better to pair Modern States with InstantCert right away, or should I stick to one platform for my very first exam?

  Lamar University: One Free Graduate Level Course
Posted by: SpartacusPM - 09-02-2025, 06:34 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (3)

Lamar University is offering free graduate and undergraduate level courses for non-degree seeking students. It is stated for the Fall 2025 term, about half of the courses have already started, with the other half starting in October. I applied and it took 2 weeks to hear that they accepted me.

It is first come first serve, but it also mentions a waiting list, so possible they extend this into Spring 2026

https://www.lamar.edu/lamar-university-p...n-network/

Here are the courses listed:

Graduate level:

  • Information Assurance and Security
  • Human Resources Management
  • Personal Leadership
  • Special Education Law
  • Nutrition Education and Counseling
  • Fundamentals of Leadership
  • Foundations of Professional Counseling
  • Reliability (Statistics)
Undergraduate level:
  • Data Mining
  • Industrial Engineering-Intro

  Does anyone know what the UMaine Farmington diploma looks like?
Posted by: huiwh1998 - 08-31-2025, 04:03 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (1)

I was Googling around and found two different diploma designs for UMF. Both look pretty real, but now I’m wondering, what’s the actual style they use these days?
Is it more like A or more like B?

Is it A (which doesn’t look quite as official, but the dates shown are from 2023):

Or is it B (which looks more authentic, though it’s from 2018 and might be outdated):

  The Rise of the 90 Credit Bachelor Degree
Posted by: SteveFoerster - 08-31-2025, 12:13 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I started writing a few comments for DEAC on their 90 credit degree proposal, and realized I was three fourths of the way to an essay, so I finished it.

  Prep for UMPI MAOL
Posted by: ExiledToGames - 08-31-2025, 10:26 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (4)

Hello World,

I have applied and gotten into UMPI MAOL (Master of Arts Organizational Leadership) starting on October 27th. I graduated with a Bachelors in History and Political Science (Summa Cum Laude) from UMPI in 2024. I transferred in almost 90 credits of undergrad classes in from Sophia.org.

I plan to use this degree as a backup plan to teaching if I ever want to leave the profession. My backup plan would most likely involve some sort of civil service, city government or non profits. If I continue teaching long term, this masters can take me into admin/coaching within the school system.

Is there any way I can accelerate or make my workload easier before the start date based on my undergrad history (listed below)?

Thanks!
