  Need an accelerated program to self support myself

Budget: no budget, can use fed and private loans and military aid from parent
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: N/A, have received employment reimbursement when staying only with one parent before moving
Commitments: family moves too much, # of younger siblings to take care of depends on what parent I stay with
Dedicated time to study: can study as much as needed

Short term: I'm searching for an accelerated program either in ADN or ABSN. My goal is to increase my earning potential from less than $20 an hour to $35 or more within 18 months. Long term: I'm considering pursuing a four-year degree in a math-heavy field like engineering or actuarial science. I've lost interest in Computer Science after changing my major multiple times. If I opt for Accounting, I'll need to retake the course since I received a D previously. Currently, I'm enrolled in WGU's Healthcare Administration program to maintain eligibility for aid. However, I'm not a big fan of online learning long term because my family often uses it as an excuse to relocate frequently.

Open to all suggestions and degree paths to be self supporting.

  Applying for a Master's in Computer Science with undergraduate degree from TESU
Posted by: DONG - 04-09-2024, 04:52 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (9)

Hello everyone.
Due to my previous low undergraduate GPA, I am considering obtaining a bachelor's degree quickly through TESU to improve my undergraduate GPA and then apply for a Master's in Computer Science. Is this method feasible?
Can the transcript of TESU's Bachelor of Computer Science degree, which maximizes transfer credits, be used to apply for a Master's degree in Computer Science at other schools? How is its recognition?

  UMPI BLS MISM VS Pierport then UMPI BAS
Posted by: k681 - 04-08-2024, 07:48 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (11)

Hello everyone, finding this forum and the wealth of information has been tremendously helpful so firstly thank you all for info so far..
Now I have a question:

Your Location: BC, Canada
Your Age: 35
What kind of degree do you want?: Any Business or General Degree with IT
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Unsure, previously obtained a diploma of 60 credits from Ontario, Canada but unsure if it is transferable to USA

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0

Provider Total Credits: 0
Class Name, Credits, Grade

Any certifications or military experience? No
I am a Canadian currently working full time in a field unrelated to IT with an unrelated diploma from Ontario.

I am looking to switch career toward IT and that's why I am wanting to get a degree with IT Minor and/or a BAS with IT concentration.

Through researching the forum, I've found that there are two paths to take through UMPI that seems to be relatively quick and easy..

  • 1. Take as many required courses on Sophia and Study.com according to the degree wiki and then apply directly to UMPI BLS program and focus on courses toward a concentration in management information systems.
  • 2. Have my diploma assessed through WES, and then applying through Pierpont, then take any required courses, obtain the associate degree and then finally applying to UMPI using the AAS from pierpont.

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions as to which path is "better" in the sense that it may be quicker/cheaper/easier ?

Posted by: Atwygon - 04-08-2024, 03:44 PM - Forum: Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, OnlineDegree.com, Sophia.Org Discussion - Replies (4)

Hey everyone! I’m currently enrolled at UMPI for a history focused degree and I currently am sitting at about 21 credits. I was wondering if anyone had any specific information on what classes I should take on Sophia. And if it’s possible to transfer these credits over! Thanks for your time.

  UMPI Minor Question
Posted by: WayToGoGrad - 04-08-2024, 02:39 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (6)

I am currently majoring in Supply Chain Management at UMPI. I registered prior to finding this forum and was not aware that adding a minor was an option. Which is the best combination Supply Chain and Information Systems minor or Supply Chain and Project Management minor?

I also noticed the BBA-Project Management & Information Systems am I allowed to do both BBA Supply Chain & Project Management & Information Systems ?

I currently have 15 credit total left to complete Business Administration Supply Chain Management (planning to take two courses through Study.com)  

My goal is to work towards a position ( career change)  in Purchasing & Logistics, or Sourcing (Sales)

  Do credits expire?
Posted by: mattbau43 - 04-08-2024, 01:32 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (10)

I have re enrolled in college after 20 years off. I checked my MaineStreet and my credits look active but that was in reference to being valid in the year 2000. Does the credits automatically validate into my UMPI degree or are they manually assessed and ok'd?

Do the credits expire?

Posted by: doyouhowdo1 - 04-08-2024, 10:09 AM - Forum: Doctorate Degree Discussion - Replies (26)

Hello everyone,

I will start my DBA with South College this November. I'm planning to finish the DBA in 1 or 1.5 years. My question is, is it possible to do PHD top up degree? I'm asking because I saw some universities offer PHD All but dissertation(ABD) courses. So am I allow to do the PHD ABD right after graduate from a DBA? If this is allow then it will save so much time.

  A neuroscientist explains why stupidity is an existential threat to America
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 04-07-2024, 12:45 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Interesting read indeed... "We may have heard of “collective intelligence,” but there is also “collective stupidity,” and it is a force with equal influence on the world."

"This new theory of stupidity I have proposed here — that stupidity is not a lack of intelligence or knowledge, but a lack of awareness of the limits of one’s intelligence or knowledge — is more important right now than ever before, and I’ll tell you why."

"By cultivating this type of awareness in ourselves, and making an effort to spread it to others, we can fight back against the stupidity crisis that threatens our nation."
