Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can help clarify a few things about returning to UMPI as a second-degree student.
I previously completed a Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) with a minor in Management and Political Science. Now I’d like to come back for the BABA in Management & Leadership.
I’ve already submitted my new application, but I have a few questions:

1. Transcripts
   • Do I need to re-send all of my previous college transcripts again?
     
   • Or will the transcript from my BLS degree at UMPI suffice since they should already have the other records on file from my prior application?
     
2. Returning Student Process
   • Are there any special steps or forms for returning students pursuing a second degree?
     
   • Is the application process any different from applying as a first-time student?
     

Have a family member who is pursing the Organizational Leadership degree at ETAMU (TAMUC).

Here is what transferred in for her in case it is helpful to anyone:

Also as a note, ETAMU pulled in grades from Straighterline but not from Study.com or ALEKS so the courses from Straighterline will affect her GPA.

Hello All,

I'm looking for a cheap ADN Nursing program that also accept Straightline, Sophia or study.com for their prerequisite courses.

Thank you,
Noble

Wondering about two classes
Feel free to message me if you prefer. 
1. English Comp 2 - At TAMUC how many papers?  Have a family member trying to decide between English comp 2 at TAMUC or Study.com 

2. Is the PSCI 2306 Texas Government a long class ? 
Any papers for this class or all competencies? 

Is this list generally what TESU will accept?

https://study.com/college/school/thomas-...rsity.html

I didn't have the best experience with WGU, personally. I didn't like it all that much.
However, I can say that I tried at least. 
I just don't believe that the competency based model is really all that it's meant out to be, personally. 
It's kind of wacky and feels weird when I first tired.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently planning to pursue the BLS degree with an Accounting minor through UMPI’s YourPace program. I want to transfer in my Board of Governors AAS degree from Pierpont, some courses from Hawaii Community College, and a lot of Sophia courses, including Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Business Law, Principles of Finance, Project Management, Marketing, Macroeconomics, and more.

I’m wondering:

• Which additional minors can I realistically add to my BLS degree without taking too many more classes?
  
• Based on UMPI’s rule that each minor needs at least 9 unique credits (3 courses not shared with another minor), which minors have the least overlap with Accounting?
  
• Has anyone successfully added a second or third minor and how did you structure it?

Dear Forum Members,

I'm in 30s and I'm looking for some advice regarding online Comptuer Science or Computer engineering (I assume this probably does not exist online) degree options as a non US citizen.

Edit:

Your Location: EU
Your Age: 30-35
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor's in CS or Computer engineering
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Credits from a university in Asia and a few from EU-based university
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: 10-15k USD
Commitments: Nothing
Dedicated time to study: 20 hours/week
Timeline: I'd like to finish in 1-3 years
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No

What I have:
1. B.A. degree in Applied English (from a university in Asia)
2. A few credits from a Comp Sci Bachelor's course that I couldn't finish from EU (it was not fully online, I had no time back then). 
(I finished Discrete math here, so that can be useful.)

My criteria for the university would be:

- accept credits as much as it possible to make outside for low price (like on sophia) or accept it from the above mentioned places;
- be somewhat prestigious;
- it would be nice if it was self-paced, instead of traditional deadlines;
- it should be good for a potential master degree later;
- budget: $10k or if it really worth it, then $15k for the whole thing;
- I can study at least 20 hours/week;
- the goal is to get a degree that could land me a job, so a place with internship options (if it exists) could be also benefitial.

So far I was eyeing University of People for it's versatility and low price, but the reviews are a mixed bag and it's not too "prestigious".
Then I found Purdue Global, but not sure if that could fit in my budget or it worth the extra price.



Thanks for the help in advance!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently deciding between Virginia University of Lynchburg (VUL) and OakState.edu after completing the Global Master’s from ENEB. I’m mainly trying to figure out which school will give me the most value based on transfer credit potential and how they evaluate foreign credentials.

Here’s what I’m considering:
1. Credit Transfer Potential: I’ve heard OakState might allow 18–30 transfer credits toward their Doctorate in Healthcare Administration (DHCA) program — which could make it significantly cheaper than VUL.
2. Accreditation & Evaluation: ENEB isn’t regionally accredited, but evaluators like Validential can convert it to the U.S. equivalent of a master’s degree. The tricky part is whether OakState accepts Validential, or only evaluators approved by AACOMAS.

My questions:
• Does anyone know if VUL or OakState is more likely to accept an ENEB Global Master’s evaluated by Validential?
• Has anyone actually transferred up to 30 credits from ENEB (or a similar program) into OakState’s DHCA program?
• If Validential isn’t accepted by OakState, does anyone know of a foreign evaluator that is AACOMAS-approved and has worked in similar cases?

Any insight would really help — I just want to make the smartest decision moving forward.

Thanks in advance!
