Hello,

I am looking to get a bachelors degree in accounting. I have been working in a unrelated field and decided a couple years ago that it was time for a change in careers. I started back at my local community college to start working towards this new path. I finished a associates degree and am enrolled through a four year college. Decided this was going to take to long probably around four years to complete. Distance and time is causing me to be a part time student. Since the loss of hours at work and drive time would be significant i started looking into other ways to complete the degree. My options now are these colleges you have been talking about in the forums and going to a different four year university. The new four university would be closer due to a satellite office that is twenty minutes from where i live. It would cost 18k to do that option. I really don not want to spend that much if I do not have to. So now I am here looking for help. I was looking into WGU and UMPI your pace. I am currently enrolled in a statistics coarse through the community college to finish the pre req for the four year. If can drop this and use study.com or sophia to complete this i would be more than happy to drop at my community college. I think its important to be able to sit for the CPA exam when i am done if that helps.


Location: Illinois
Age: 37
Type of degree: I am looking to get a bachelor degree in accounting with the end goal to be a masters... eventually.
Current credit hours: 101
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none
Any certifications or military experience?: none
Budget: looking for cheaper. But i will figure out what i can.
Commitments: I work full time Sunday, Monday, Tuesday every other Saturday 0630-1830. And a lovely wife.
Dedicated time to study: If I am not at work i can study. My plan is 20hrs a week.
Timeline: I would like to be done in a year if possible.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Might be able to get up to 6k from work but no guarantee I will get any.

Here is a list of my classes through my community college and one class through the four year.

Hello,

Been scrolling through the forums for a few days and put together a plan to get my BS Operations Management from TESU. If anyone with more experience could look over my plan for fulfilling the requirements and let me know if it all makes sense. I have 110 RA Credits going into it and am required to get 7 more (the highlighted classes) for my other degree. 

the one question i had is about the TESU residency credit, what is the lowest amount of credits i am required to take through TESU? i was under the impression the minimum was 6 but i have seen mixed opinion. in the second photo i show the three classes i am looking to take to fulfill the 9 credit tuition flat rate.

Required Classes Roadmap

RA Classes Not Utilized

If anything here waves any red flags please let me know.

Also this is my first post so if the photos don't load i can find another way to send.

Thank you,

Zo Ahmed at TechSpot Wrote:Michigan has passed a new law requiring all public high schools to offer at least one computer science course starting in 2027, a way of boosting tech skills and preparing the future workforce. It essentially guarantees all students in the state will soon have access to at least some computer science education before graduating.

The bipartisan bill, signed into law last week by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, aims to increase technological literacy across the state. […] The new law defines computer science broadly as the study of computational principles, hardware, software, and their societal impacts – with a focus on creating new technologies rather than just using them.

Per the site:

Several course bundles are available on the Tulane PACE Learning Management System. Users will receive a course bundle certificate upon completion of all trainings in each bundle.

People who voted for trump are idiots. There is not one single redeeming quality about that man. All the arguments for him are just smoke and mirrors.

Hello,

I am following this thread because l am from Kenya and would like to do my BA in communications in the shortest time possible. I have 25 years of experience in communications. I just need this qualification so that l can get some opportunities l feel l am missing out on. What courses can l take using Sophia and which university best suits me? I will truly appreciate some direction.

Is there anyway to get your Credly Badge / ACE credits on Coursera besides waiting on them? I completed a certification 6 days ago, and still nothing, and support is not very helpful there.

After this experience they're making me nervous.  I'm not sure if I'd trust them again for anything needing ACE credits.

Sig Christenson in the San Antonio Express-News Wrote:A video describing the exploits of the groundbreaking African American airmen [the Tuskegee Airmen], who flew combat sorties during World War II, has been removed from the instructional curriculum for new recruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the hub of Air Force basic training.

Trump, in his inaugural address on Monday, vowed to "end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life." The same day, he signed an executive order dismantling federal DEI programs. On Tuesday, the new administration placed DEI officials on leave and ordered agencies to spike postings or advertisements promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

The effects were felt almost immediately at Lackland. A memo circulated among Air Force personnel said that "in accordance with NEW DEIA Guidance," portions of the basic training curriculum were being revised "immediately." DEIA stands for diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.

The memo said a video on the Tuskegee Airmen, a second video titled "Breaking Barriers" and a third about the Women Airforce Service Pilots [WASPs] who supported the war effort during World War II had been excised from a course on "airmindedness."

A video on diversity was stripped from a separate human relations course, the memo said.

SUNY Empire State University is launching an online Bachelor of Business Administration delivered in Spanish in Fall 2025.

The curriculum will parallel SUNY Empire's existing English BBA, while the program "will include bilingual wraparound services such as tutoring, financial aid guidance, and accessibility resources."
