  UPI Study
Posted by: Phracker Jacks - 09-28-2026, 11:03 AM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (2)

I wanted to start a thread for UPI Study (University Pathways International) transfer results, especially for TESU.
UPI has its own TESU transfer/equivalency page, and TESU also lists UPI as an approved provider:

UPI -> TESU:
https://www.upistudy.com/pages/tesu

TESU Approved Provider Directory:
https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/methods-...ectory.php

There are also some useful community-created transfer guides, including MajorMash:
https://www.majormash.com/

I signed up for UPI a while back mainly as a way to work through some of the Gen Ed gaps on my TESU evaluation. The lifetime-access option was a big reason I went with it because it takes some of the pressure off — I can work through courses at my own pace instead of worrying about a subscription clock.
There are also quite a few Computer Science courses I am interested in. Some would basically be repeating subjects I studied years ago, but most schools will no longer accept those older credits because of their age, so UPI could be a useful way to refresh the material and get current transferable credit at the same time.

One thing I have noticed is that the published TESU information still does not cover everything UPI offers. A number of the Gen Ed courses, including things like English Composition I and II, are not shown in some of the transfer information


UPI also shows two types of mappings:

  • Verified by TESU
  • Reviewed/recommended by UPI, but not yet TESU verified
I would especially like to hear from anyone who has transferred one of the UPI-reviewed but not TESU-verified courses. Did TESU actually award the equivalency UPI recommended, or did it come in differently?

A few courses I am personally most interested in seeing current TESU results for are:
  • Project Management
  • CS 373 – Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
  • CS 251 – Data Structures and Algorithms
  • CS 381 – Database Programming
  • CS 390 – Systems Analysis and Design
  • CS 354 – Introduction to Operating Systems
  • English Composition II
  • Physics I / Lab
For AI and Data Structures, I am especially interested in how they come in for upper-level credit and whether they can be useful in the CIS area. Even if they do not fit exactly where expected in CIS, upper-level computer-related credit could still be useful in something broader like the BS in Technical Studies.
Project Management is another one I am especially interested in because I have not seen a clear current TESU-verified mapping for it.
When I asked UPI about some of the newer courses earlier, I was told additional ACE/NCCRS reviews and updates were expected around August. At the time, several of the course/syllabus pages were showing pending review.

If anyone has recently transferred UPI courses to TESU, it would be useful to post:
UPI course -> UPI/MajorMash suggested equivalency (if any) -> actual TESU equivalency -> LL/UL -> where it applied
I am particularly interested in courses that are missing from the published list, are UPI-reviewed but not TESU-verified, or were evaluated differently than expected.

It would be useful to build up a current set of real transfer results for UPI rather than relying only on suggested mappings.

  Dallas College BAS in Management (CBE)
Posted by: Mint Berry Crunch - 09-26-2026, 04:05 PM - Forum: General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges - Replies (1)

I was curious to see if there were any new CBE programs that have been released that we haven't discussed about on here and there seems to be a few. C-BEN has listed 5 new programs, of particular interest, Dallas College (which is already on our CBE wiki) has recently released a new CBE program for a Bachelor of Applied Science in Management. The program has total cost of $11,880 for 120 credit hours (less if you transfer in 60-90 credits). 

The following is a general breakdown of the requirements for the first two years, third year, and fourth and final year:

First Two Years - 60 credit hours
Complete two-year degree (AAS, AA, or AS). Earn associate degree providing technical, occupational, or academic transfer preparation.   

Third Year – 30 credit hours                
Complete remainder of bachelor’s-level core requirements, if any, and foundational business coursework.

Fourth and Final Year – 30 credit hours
Complete the following prescribed, upper-division, competency-based management coursework. Courses are taken in sequential order. All courses are three credit hours for a total of 10 courses and 30 credit hours.

  Conversion/transfer options from ENEB into another uni to be awarded their Masters?
Posted by: DegreeNerd - 09-26-2026, 12:49 AM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (27)

Am currently approaching soon halfway-ish in these four Masters qualifications from ENEB:

Master in AI for Business
Master in Big Data and Business Intelligence
MBA + Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (this is their double Masters offering, the first two are being done each as a single Masters degree)

My natural concern is that having four degrees all from ENEB on my LinkedIn and CV might look just a little "odd" to say the least. 

How can I "spread around" the credits/qualifications I'm getting from ENEB at a minimal-ish cost? 
Am thinking I might instead have them listed as something like this instead:

Master in AI from ABC
Master in Big Data from XYZ
MBA + Master in SCM from ENEB 

As that would look 100% better!

I know that ENEB has arrangements with the University of Isabella and UniMarconi? But it's a bit opaque in understanding exactly the processes and costs involved in this. 

Can any one of my Masters go to any one of Isabella or Marconi? Or do each only accept certain specific degrees from ENEB? (Edit: seems like Isabella at least can take any degree whatsoever from ENEB and convert it over: https://iseb.es/programas-formativos-uniseb/ ?)

Are there other universities I could use my credits/qualifications from ENEB that I'm not aware of? 

Extra details if this happens to help:
My Location: Australia 
My Age: late 40's
What kind of degree do I want?: Masters
Budget: am very flexible, but preferable as cheap as possible! (if it is over US$5K I won't even consider it for a second, hopefully it's just a few hundreds of dollars? But if I must, I'll go higher)
Dedicated time to study: very motivated, will work hard 24/7 if that is what it takes!
Timeline: sooner rather than later?

What a deal! Just $5 per exam

I have my hopes up and fingers crossed that they'll bring out some proper STEM degrees, and not just business degrees.

  UPIstudy for homeschool
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 09-24-2026, 07:26 AM - Forum: Homeschooling General Discussion - Replies (5)

So I decided to splurge a bit and signed up our 12 year old homeschooler for the lifetime membership at UPIstudy ($449). At this age, speed is not of the essence. In fact, I would prefer her to take her time with assignements, revise them (multiple times, if necessary) under my guidance and really spend time learning rather than speed running the courses. The goal is for her to do multiple courses over the course of the next 4 years before she can enroll at TESU and also top it up with UL ones at Coursera. Undecided as of which degree she will go for at this point, and things may change at TESU and with her interests anyway.

Currently doing Brilliant.org for math and Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) for writing and grammar.

  Looking for guidance for UMPI
Posted by: acesup_11 - 09-22-2026, 10:49 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

I hope you are all doing well. I tried to do some research but I am at a loss.

I wanted to get my associates ( I need it as soon as possible)  and then eventually my bachelore's. 

I have some credits from community college (attached) and it seems that sophia is the fastest way to finish everything. (correct me if I am wrong)

I am not sure which is the fastest and hopefully easiest courses I would need to take. If this is the wrong place I apologize but I really want to help my family. Thank you all and let me know if you have any questions.

  Post-bacc credit transfers Non-matriculated
Posted by: esummer - 09-21-2026, 08:56 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Old TESC Alumni.

Interested in options on having post-bacc credits recognized (preferably by al mat) other than the ILA/Onetranscript/Registry.

Would TESU take transfer credits as a visiting student if I took a TECEP? Would all those credits be on one transcript with my old completed ones from years ago, or would they be two separate ones?

If I chose ILA, or any of the other credit registries, would those credits be "granted" or simply "logged"?

I'm looking at TESU for the sake of having one consolidated source, but the cheapest option is what I will take if it meets my needs.

Doing this for the prerequisites of a professional credential that wants those credits "granted" by an RA institution.

Thanks for your help.

  TESU BACS Interested
Posted by: justsomeguy - 09-20-2026, 05:48 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

Hello,

Interested in the BACS here at TESU, here is relevant information about me

Status: US Citizen, Full time student, Ideally graduate from here as cheaply as possible.

Background: Graduated with a BS in an unrelated field from a Four Year Regionally Accredited University in the United States. Currently pursuing an MS online aiming to graduate in late 2027 in the US as well

Goal: To use my BS degree to bypass the GE courses and electives which should total me to only having to take the 45 credit AOS (Area of Study) classes (I could be wrong). To complete this CS degree with only taking the capstone and maybe another course

Progress: Ive been on this forum and just understanding what i will be getting into. Now, looking through study.com and Sophia learning to find the TESU CS equivalents and mapping where to take what. I’m just planning until I pull the trigger on signing up for study.com to knock out ALOT of CS classes which i estimate will take me 3-4 months. But some of the elective stuff was hard to find/understand. Here is a breakdown I made, please let me know if this is right. I also realize I wont have to take the SOS-1100 class since I already have a BS degree (https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/en/curre...ent-policy) outlined here which is kinda nice ?
A. Required Courses (18 Credits)
 
COS-1110
Introduction to Programming
3
COS-2410
Data Structures
3
MAT-2310
Calculus I
4
MAT-2700
Discrete Mathematics

COS-2400
Operating Systems

COS-3300

B. Computer Science Electives (18 Credits)
 
 
CIS-3010
Management Information Systems

CIS-3110
Database Management
3
CIS-3200
System Analysis and Design I
3
CIS-3510
Software Engineering (pretty sure theirs no transfer equivalent)
3
CMP-3540
Network Technology
3
COS-1160
C Programming
3
C. Natural Sciences, Math, and Computer Science Electives (6 Credits)
 
CIS-1070
Computer Concepts and Applications
3
D. Capstone (3 Credits)
 
 
LIB-4970
Liberal Arts Capstone - Natural Sciences, Math and Computer Science
3
 

Bottlenecks:
1: I am currently pursing a MS degree which has one big challenge. Lets say I do all these study.com courses to fulfill the degree and then apply to tesu to take the capstone, and then graduate after the course. I would essentially need to make sure I graduate at TESU first and then in my MS program after. I can easily take less classes in my MS to focus more on this CS and graduate later but bottom line I cannot be graduating in TESUS CS program AFTER I complete my MS or else all that hard work from study.com would essentially be voided. They outline it on their website
Second Bachelor’s Degree
If you have earned a previous baccalaureate degree, and wish to pursue a second, you must complete a minimum of 24 additional credits, including the required capstone, for the degree. These credits must be in the area of study and/or core of the degree. They must also be earned after the date your most recent degree, regardless of academic level, was conferred.
 
Worries:
1: I’m pursing a MS right now and while it wont be much more work on my plate id hate to be breaking some kind of rule here being dual enrolled. I could just not say anything but who knows. I don’t want to pause this masters and would like to get both done within the year 2027. The MS program is aimed for working adults so i figured i would just do the CS program "full time" and treat the MS as its intended purpose of being a weekend thing lol

2: the Capstone in general, from the research aspect, time consumption, and ETS major field test. I know I can just grind out the research aspect in the 12 week period but I been seeing on here the ETS exam is pass or fail and you must pass so kinda worried once I get all this study.com stuff done, apply, to only then get booted out for failing a ets exam would be soul crushing.

Again, I have yet to submit anything or even start admission now so any advice tips or tricks would be helpful and ill answer as best I can and I apologize if some things in here may not be accurate, please correct me if needed. Ill hopefully post again after applying and seeing what admission says about the course plan.
