  BA CS - Metropolia credits transfer
Posted by: boblax - 01-08-2026, 07:29 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (2)

Since I'm a EU citizen I should be able to enroll to Metropolia to cover a substantial part of the required courses for the BA CS degree.

Currently my plan is the following: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...id=0#gid=0

I'm still lacking a couple RA credits, as well as some Computer Science Electives, and some Natural Sciences, Math, and CS Electives.

Does anyone have experience with Metropolia and what transfers? Is it possible to only take certain classes to transfer, or would I need to complete something like the https://opinto-opas.metropolia.fi/offeri...32?lang=en with the full 120 credits in order to be able to transfer at TESU?

  Udacity MSAI $5K (cheaper with discounts, max transfers)
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 01-07-2026, 08:43 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (4)

So, I signed up for their personal discount offer yesterday and promptly received a 40% off email below.

Hi learner,

You can use your offer right away to get 40% off your Udacity subscription. Your unique code is valid until January 13, 2026, so take advantage of these savings while you can.

I checked my email again, and today was given a different discount.  A 50% off email, not as great as Black Friday/Cyber Monday's 55% off.  I was curious if anyone was able to stack this discount with the initial discount showing on their webpage of 15%.  If you stack them together, it's 65% off (I haven't tried stacking them).

Hi there,

We noticed your interest in our course. Complete your subscription now to gain access to that, the master's program and our entire course catalog.

Use code "bjcheung77's unique code" at checkout for 50% off your monthly subscription purchase. Discounts do not apply to degree program enrollment fees.

Anyways, if someone can get the full 65% off plus the 33% previously evaluated classes for equivalency or transfer, you can probably finish the degree for $2K USD instead of the advertised $5K USD due to 1/3 of the classes are completed.

  DBA or EdD cheap RA/NA
Posted by: tomicavols - 01-07-2026, 10:01 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (8)

Hi. I hold the MBA but now am a business teacher looking  for a cheap, short DBA or EdD either NA or RA. Any recommendations? I’m willing to do international ones with partnerships as well. Accreditation (national is fine) and affordability is a must. Thanks!

  University of the Cumberlands- prior learning

I recently earned my MBA and am looking into PHD programs. University of the Cumberlands will transfer 12 credits immediately for me, but has anyone done the prior learning portfolio? I don't see a thing on this site or anywhere online where anyone has even mentioned it.

  Senator Mark Kelly and a Little - Told you so
Posted by: Charles Fout - 01-06-2026, 06:28 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (11)

SELF IMPOSED MINIMIZE CONSIDERED


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yesterday's "Administrative measures" punishment imposed on Sonenator Mark Kelly gave me a little flashback and a smile.

My honest thought is that the sly " Administrative measures" punishment was tadry. 

The right way would have been to refer the matter to Court Martial.

I could not help but to remember this two decades old argument




Quote:I hate to burst Charles' bubble (and his nonsensical attack on me), but I am most certainly NOT subject to the UCMJ. Even active reservists are not subject to the UCMJ while they're between either training days or active duty sessions. As a retired reservist, I am under no one's command, including that idiot Bush. Were he to recall me to active duty, however, I would certainly cease public commentary about his inanities. But that isn't going to happen.

Well: Yes he was, and still is.

So is Senator  Kelly

  Advice for my case
Posted by: khloem.0248 - 01-05-2026, 03:15 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

My situation is I submitted Bachelor's transcript to CPA broad to get evaluation and unfortunately only 113 credits out of 120 got accepted. I just learn that Texas allows you to sit for CPA exam with just 120 credits not 150 anymore. 

So if I take a master degree with WGU do you think that I would qualify to sit for the exam? 

After finish the Master degree, do I still need to earn 7 credits for the license if I pass the CPA test?

Thank you Smile Smile

  UN consultancy/contractor applications: a black box?
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 01-05-2026, 08:16 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

Have applied to well over 100 on inspira over the past six months, many if not most applications have been sitting at "under consideration" (some for about that long), and the closest thing to a lucky break was taking the psychometric HR evaluation for one role.  

I'm assuming this is fairly typical of UN HR bureaucracy? If so, this makes the US government's HR systems (which I'm also quite familiar with) look like Barry Allen.

  Doctorate Certificate from EIU-PARIS is illegal and worthless junk
Posted by: Balchunas - 01-05-2026, 04:13 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (5)

I was recently approached by European International University EIU-Paris offering a Doctorate degree for €2,200, with completion promised within 14 days in any field. As I have not yet completed my Master’s degree, this offer immediately raised serious concerns regarding academic credibility.

Independent verification revealed that degrees are awarded with no academic requirements, often based solely on a CV and internally structured by their own team.
Further research shows the institution is not registered as a public or state-recognized university and not even as a Private University.

Instead, EIU-Paris operates as a private limited company in France (e.g., SAS/SASU) using the word “University” in its English trade name.
Registered only as a "Distance Learning Centre"
As a private company, it provides unregulated distance-learning tuition without accreditation from French higher-education authorities or recognized academic licensing bodies.
The degrees issued are not government-accredited, are not aligned with national qualification frameworks, and do not hold formal equivalence to regulated university degrees.

The use of terms such as “Private University” appears to be misleading, as this does not indicate licensed or accredited university status.
In practice, the entity functions as a private tuition provider rather than a licensed degree-awarding institution.

This operational model appears designed to avoid academic regulation while issuing autonomous certificates with no formal academic recognition.
Consequently, the degrees are not recognised or accepted by accredited institutions or official qualification frameworks anywhere in the world.

I share this with deep concern, as students and professionals may be misled into investing time and money in qualifications that lack recognised academic standing.
Strong caution is advised when engaging with institutions that are not accredited, including entities that use the term “University” in their company name without recognition from official higher-education authorities as a Univerisity. 

The Minisitry of Education in France only recognizes EIU-Paris as a "Distance Learning Provider" which costs €500 to open such companies and not a University- and this company is duping, misleading students with the term "University" in its name - its the biggest scam i came across.

  Saylor - Proctored Exam?
Posted by: bushysmalls - 01-04-2026, 03:51 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Sophia.Org, Coursera Discussion - Replies (5)

Ok, so I've finished the course for BUS 200 on Saylor Academy. Did the normal final exam, now want to do the Saylor Direct Credit Final Exam to get credits for UMPI.

I'm in the sign up page and it just says "Start Exam" after I put in my personal info. Nothing about proctoring or paying the $5, etc.

How do I get this set up to actually get the credits that I can transfer to Credly/UMPI?

  EU-based Open Universities that offer PhDs with no residency requirement?
Posted by: EliEverIsAHero - 01-04-2026, 01:42 PM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (2)

Was wondering about this when looking up the Open University of Cyprus, which does not appear to offer any doctoral-level research degrees.
