  Case Manger – Next Step
Posted by: MichaelGates - 06-27-2026, 10:27 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (4)

Case Manger – Next Step

I just took a position as a Mental Health Case Manager. I thought I might turn to the forum here as see if anyone has some suggestions for my next degree, a degree that would complement the new position. I have had an addiction counselor license for some time and I do volunteer work as a crisis counselor, where I talk openly about suicide, so I am not a novice to the field

Yes, I have spoken to the company about what degree might be helpful to climb the ladder, if I choose to climb, and they did not have a recommendation. I will keep an eye on company handbooks and other posted open positions for future ideas. While the company does not do tuition reimbursement, but they do provide free continuing education through Relias, which I will take full advantage of and pursue vigorously.

I do already have many relevant Spanish propos and will probably do some more too. I am thinking about taking more from the European School of Health (ESHE). I have done their Expert in Management and Prevention of Occupational Health Risks, University Expert in Social Psychology and University Expert in Vision Sciences.

The company has hinted that they might be going to a service which would allow me to use my addiction counselor license with them. So, I see the next degree maybe as a degree that will help me move to the next level of my state counseling license, which would require a United States Accredited Masters in a specific field of study that they consider a Behavioral Science Degree. I have attached a file that outlines the areas that would qualify. So now it is about finding the Masters in that field that would be via distance learning, and very low cost. I will certainly be looking for something that is very low in cost. So if you just started typing Harvard Medical School, just slowly walk away from the keyboard.

Judge Tosses ED’s ‘Professional’ Degree Definition, Likely Aiding Student Borrowers

The ruling says the Education Department violated Congress’s instructions by adding criteria strictly limiting which degrees qualify for higher federal student loan borrowing caps. https://bit.ly/4uVABZE

  UMASS Global offering Self Paced MBA
Posted by: SpartacusPM - 06-25-2026, 04:48 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (1)

Link to apply here:

https://www.umassglobal.edu/academic-pro...self-paced


Quick hits:

  • 6 month terms
  • $3915 per term
  • Rolling Start dates
  • 30 credits
I don't see mention of AI for this one, but the courses listed on the landing page have the same course numbers. With this having 30 credits versus the 36 in the pilot program, this should be very doable in 6 months (baring any major changes to the course load)

  Completing TESU History BA
Posted by: Wayne195 - 06-25-2026, 03:47 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (1)

I am finally picking up my long neglected dream of completing a History BA with TESU. My account with TESU has been inactive for the last 2 years and I'm trying to decide what's the best option to bring it active again as far as taking a course or TECEP. As of the last evaluation I had with them, I have 93 qualifying credits on my degree plan. I'm getting to the last bit of the journey so I want to be careful not to waste my effort studying something that doesn't fulfill a requirement in my degree. So far, I have earned no upper level credits.

What I'm most concerned about presently is the 15 residency credits that are required with TESU. I understand that the capstone is included in that, and TECEP's don't don't qualify. Therefore, I have basically have 12 credits(4 classes) to take as part of the remaining 27 credits for my degree. 

Here's a spreadsheet someone on here had helped me compile when I was pursuing this a few years ago for reference. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...id=0#gid=0

  Any Inherent Drawbacks of UoPeople over Big 3?
Posted by: sal1820 - 06-24-2026, 11:44 AM - Forum: UoPeople - University of the People Discussion - Replies (25)

I feel some folks on these forums consider the Big Three and brick and mortar campuses with generous online offerings as more respectable than UoPeople. I could be just me since UoPeople got its regional accreditation less than two years ago. 

But are there any inherent drawbacks to studying at UoPeople over the other online university generally recommended for transferring to? I know it's not yet listed on Anabin, so if you want to study in Germany then you will need to get a ZAB equivalence. 

Are there any other such drawbacks or complications of getting a degree from UoPeople.

  Help=how value SCQF11+ Italy MU2 master by UK ENIC ?
Posted by: pine333 - 06-24-2026, 07:27 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - No Replies

I am writing to seek your guidance regarding the academic equivalency of the GMU MU2 qualification. Specifically, I would like to know if the MU2, when combined with SCQF Level 11, can be evaluated as a Master's degree equivalent by UK ENIC.

This information is crucial as I am planning to apply for an EngD programme, and I want to ensure my qualifications meet the necessary entry requirements.

Looking for some guidance below is my current credits. Looking for any degree (not Liberal Studies)  I did get the Pierpoint Associates when it was a option but looking to upgrade to a bachelors.

  WorldQuant U Free Grad Cert, Possible Future MScs in AI (NA DEAC)
Posted by: Jonathan Whatley - 06-22-2026, 07:23 PM - Forum: Free Courses and Certificates and Good Deals - No Replies

WorldQuant University (WQU) is launching a free online graduate certificate in Applied AI Fundamentals.

It consists of these five courses, each 3 semester hour credits, scheduled in seven-week terms:

  • AAIF 600 Foundations of Disruptive Systems
  • AAIF 610 Visualizing Disruptive Forces
  • AAIF 620 Applying AI for Adaptation
  • AAIF 630 Applying AI for Mitigation
  • AAIF 640 Leading Ethically in AI-Driven Transformation
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and earn at least 75% on a two-hour admission test for the program. An applicant has two attempts to pass the test. WQU’s site provides open access resources to prepare.

WorldQuant University Wrote:The Admissions Test will assess foundational probability concepts including probability distributions, expected value, and risk quantification; statistical competencies including descriptive statistics, statistical inference, and correlation and regression analysis; data visualization skills including reading charts and graphs, interpreting histograms and distributions, and identifying misleading or deceptive visualizations; and critical thinking abilities including quantitative reading and interpretation, logical reasoning, and research and data literacy.

Students who complete the program will receive a digital graduate certificate of completion and emailed transcripts.

The program is described as “entirely free, with no hidden costs.” WorldQuant University is funded by the WorldQuant Foundation, which is connected with the WorldQuant hedge fund, both founded by Igor Tulchinsky.

WorldQuant University is nationally accredited by the DEAC. Applied AI Fundamentals is the second subject WQU will offer an academic credit program in, after Financial Engineering, in which it offers an MScFE and an embedded graduate certificate. No courses overlap between the Financial Engineering and Applied AI Fundamentals programs. Students can be in progress in only one of the two for-credit subjects at one time.

If you’re interested in transferring credit from these courses to another institution, determine whether your intended destination will accept these courses, will accept DEAC credit, and will accept a transcript sent only by email, not on paper.

WQU also offers free project-based learning Labs that lead to non-credit badges and certificates, in Data Science, Deep Learning Fundamentals, and Computer Vision.

WQU also holds approval from the District of Columbia, its home jurisdiction, to offer an MSc in Applied AI and an MSc in Strategic AI and Innovation. Neither MSc has launched yet.

Amazon Prime Day 2026: Shop the best deals from Apple, Adidas, Hanes, Shark and more up to 60% off before the summer sale kicks off

https://shopping.yahoo.com/deals/breakin...51806.html

I got the AirPods Pro, and they're pretty cool. The sound quality is out of this world, and the noise cancellation works almost as well as having expanding foam earplugs in your ears. They're great for Zoom calls and listening to music.

Any good deals you've seen? Is anyone planning to buy anything during Amazon Prime Day this year?
