Posted by: legarams - 05-15-2024, 01:54 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello, I am an international student based outside USA looking to get the Pierpont A.A.S to get an associates degree with an area of emphasis in Maths or Finance.

I would like to do a degree with one of the big three, or an american university but I cant afford that currently. I was wondering if the credits I have are overkill, and what more I would need to get the A.A.S. Any other advice based on what I have share is also welcome.

  Help creating a degree plan for education bachelors.
Posted by: System360 - 05-15-2024, 12:14 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (9)

HI there,

I'm trying to figure out how I can get a degree done in the next 4 months. I have already taken several courses on Sophia Learning, and I'm attempting to get enough credits in that I can finish a degree at UPMI in one session. I've currently taken Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Visual Communication, Introduction to Psychology, Project Management, Introduction to Ethics, Anatomy And Physiology 1, US History 1, Principles of Finance, Essentials of Managing Conflict, Developing Effective Teams, Introduction to Business, and Managerial Accounting. I'm aiming for one of the Liberal Arts degrees that UPMI offers. I need advice on how I'm going to make this work though. How many credits does UPMI take at once? Also, I need help putting together a plan for myself. I am on a deadline because I need to get a degree so I can move to a different state and help a close family member support themselves. Unfortunately, they'll be out of a home by the end of the year, so I need to go fast and get my degree so I can support both of us. Currently my living situation wouldn't work with that, and I make minimum wage. Such is life, but I see an opportunity here, and I intend to grab it.

  Why is there a DEI ban in place?
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 05-15-2024, 10:36 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

Just confused why there is a DEI ban in place, aren't these programs helpful to the less affluent or the minority?

Big Grin List?
Posted by: Cocolisa1 - 05-15-2024, 09:50 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (8)

So is there a list of non-MBA cheap degrees in under a year that are competency-based? 
Someone made an excellent point yesterday on my question. Not everyone needs an MBA and the only ones listed are those for MBA

  It Costs Over $10 Million in Opportunity Cost to Go to College
Posted by: LevelUP - 05-14-2024, 08:29 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

I actually came to this conclusion on my own and was searching the internet for an article written by someone who could properly analyze the opportunity cost of going to college.

The common statistic I see is that people who go to college make $1 million more than high school graduates. However, the opportunity cost isn't factored in.

  "New Ivies" According to Forbes
Posted by: sanantone - 05-14-2024, 07:03 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Forbes claims that employers are souring on the Ivy League colleges. Some of the listed schools have long been classified by some as Ivy Plus, Southern Ivies, or Public Ivies, but I'm just sharing the latest news. 



The Public Ivies:

Binghamton University (New York)
Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia) 
University of Florida
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Texas-Austin
University of Virginia
University of Wisconsin-Madison (Wisconsin)
Note: Military academies were not included in their analysis and the University of California universities were excluded as well because they don’t consider test scores. 

The Private Ivies:

Boston College (Massachusetts)
Carnegie Mellon University (Pennsylvania)
Emory University (Georgia)
Georgetown University (District of Columbia)
Johns Hopkins University (Maryland)
Northwestern University (Illinois)
Rice University (Texas)
University of Notre Dame (Indiana)
University of Southern California
Vanderbilt University (Tennessee)
Note: Forbes’ analysis excluded schools with fewer than 4,000 students, the “Ancient Eight,” and four Ivy-plus schools: Stanford, MIT, Duke, and the University of Chicago.
