I'm torn between going to work or doing a PhD? I started my own business, and I paid for all the academic experience up there.
My age is 27.


I've never been praised, but I tell myself I'm good.

  Language requirements at UMPI
Posted by: yc1981 - 06-06-2024, 12:47 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (9)

Are most people here just doing the liberal studies degrees at UMPI? I originally chose a liberal studies with history minor. But my advisor pointed out that I could just do a regular history degree if I took 2 foreign language classes instead of 1. I've been warned off of taking any language courses at UMPI through this forum and it looks like maybe Sophia is the best option. But I'm intimidated by trying to do Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 when I'm barely eke-ing my way through Spanish 1. I feel like it will take me an eternity for just that one class. Has anyone taken language courses anywhere else? And has anyone taken Sophia Spanish 1 and 2 without any Spanish background? Thank you!

  Doctorate in Ed?
Posted by: VintageGirl85 - 06-05-2024, 11:49 PM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello, first let me appologize im just so lost on where to go and what to do at this point, BUT IM A GIRL ON A MISSION!

I am in WA State, USA and am a public school teacher. We are required to have continuing ED. credits, and need them for pay raises. I am looking to possibly change careers in the next few years, but still while I am teaching will need more cont.ed creds and or another degree. 

ME:42
HAVE: BAed from WGU (2012)
          MAed from WGU (2018?) 
          a CRAP TON of "credits" from SophiaLearns. (that so far are completely useless to me for continue ed or payraise)

My state has requirements for who can accredit schools ( OSPI Accreditation List ) 

SO WHERE IM AT, 

OPTION 1) Find a way to "credit bank" these so they will show up on an official transcript from ANY school that will bring them in (the more credits the better) even if that means I "enroll" in Ed College again for another?? BAed? 

OPTION 2) Find the FASTEST and CHEAPEST Dr. in ED that can be done ONLINE

I have bene going through these threads and I feel im drowning in amazing new info but am struggling to figure out how to accomplish EITHER of these? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, overwhelmed so I apolozie for the rambling or missing info.

  Questions about BUS 240
Posted by: Lorvey - 06-05-2024, 11:19 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

Friends, when I tried to complete quiz 13 of BUS 240, there were two questions that I couldn't get right. 
I tried more than a dozen times, but all failed. If I can't complete quiz 13, I will never be able to move forward. 
Can anyone answer these two questions?


I have solved this problem. It's fine now

  Coursera Plus - Available at Pierpont?
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 06-05-2024, 09:23 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (3)

Anyone know? Does Pierpont provide Coursera Plus to students? 

Apparently UMPI provides 6 months Coursera Plus, if you can get 6 months from Pierpont as well, that would be a whole year to get extra certs.  For example, someone can do Pierpont BOG AAS with a Business emphasis and when done, they can do the 6 months from Coursera to get the 40+ technical credits and more.  When applying to UMPI, they can go for the BAS with a minor or two, plus the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL.  

If they want, they can delay their enrollment for the BAS or a different UMPI degree for another 6 months to get Coursera certs/credits towards the electives.  This will max the transfer credits and also fill the electives, plus will add to the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience.  Once this is all done, if you really wanted to, you can do extra Coursera or EdX classes to extend your learning or knowledge skillset, plus pad that resume...

  SDC Premium Edition - Would this work?
Posted by: legenwait4itdary - 06-05-2024, 06:00 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (6)

Hello,

I will be traveling in July and while I will have time to do some studying, I will not have time and place to take the final exam.

I was thinking about getting the Premium Edition for July, completing all the quizzes and assignments and then switching to the College Saver subscription and taking all the Final Exams.

Would something like this work? Will my progress be saved? Will I see all the assignments? (I understand I will not be able to submit them for grading but at least I can have them completed and submit then on the first day I switch to the College Saver subscription submit them for grading.

Thank you!

  Adult starting from scratch
Posted by: Mom2my2 - 06-05-2024, 03:17 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (10)

North Carolina, USA 
Your Age: 48
What kind of degree do you want?:  Liberal Arts or Business
Current Regional Accredited Credits:  0 

Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  
Commitments: I teach several highschool classes in our Co-Op, plus my own children, plus being the kids' taxi. It feels similar to a full time job but with flexible hours. 
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 15 hours a week, maybe.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None


Hello!  Before kids I was in business and loved my work.  For the past 15 years I've been a stay at home mom. During this time, I've been homeschooling my children and teaching Middle School writing and High School logic and economics in our Homeschool Co-Op.   I feel like now, it's my time to invest time in obtaining a Bachelors degree.  


I've loved reading the posts on this forum and could use some personal advice on what direction to take and how to create a degree plan that uses my time well since I'm starting from scratch.   Since I don't have a plan for what to do with the degree afterwards, I am flexible on what to pursue...business, liberal arts, psychology- whatever is easiest and most expeditious . I do prefer writing to maths. 
Thank you!!!
