Brandman now UMass Global - Effective Sept 1, 2021 - bjcheung77 - 09-04-2021
Hey, I got this email on Sept 1 and forgot to post about it.... checked and may have missed a thread post, but anyways, here it is!
It's Official! Link: https://www.umassglobal.edu/about-umassglobal/umassglobalfaqs
Tuition hasn't changed for 2021/2022 for MyPath either! https://www.umassglobal.edu/tuition-and-aid/tuition
This is great, gonna apply to the MAOL and see how their MyPath system works compared to the UMPI.

UMass Global MyPath™ Bachelor of Science in Information Technology looks interesting, would be curious to see LL course equivalents.

The UMPI MAOL is Brandman's MAOL. Same courses. Same assignments. Different professors for some classes.

Sagence Learning aka Strut Learning https://www.strutlearning.com/ designed a majority of the MyPath courses for Brandman. But, Brandman does not hold an exclusive license to them. UMPI licensed out their courses for the YourPace program and adjusted them from there.

Brandman, from reviews we've seen, seems to have about double the amount of assignments as UMPI. If you sign up for it and take it bjcheung77, we'd be very curious of your overall pacing and how your MyPath experience goes. Along with UMPI the following also use this same platform/developers: University of Louisville, Brandman, Central New Mexico Community College, and El Paso College.

Don Kilburn, the CEO of UMassOnline, was recently interviewed by Joe Sallustio and Liz Leiba, and this acquisition was a big part of the conversation:

The ACP is extremely outdated; it died in March of 2018, and many schools that took that didn't take any other ACE credit. Also, much of it is now gone: Ed4Credit & Ed4Online went the way of the dodo bird, they were acquired by Pearson; and I don't think you can take Pearson courses any longer; JumpCourse died at some point as well.
So the ability to bring ACE credit into this program is questionable at this point; add to that the Credly/Acclaim transcript, and you've got a lot of 'splainin' to do to try to get these credits accepted.

Brandman had all kinds of weird partnerships, and nothing appears to have changed. UMass Global accepts ACE credit recommendations at the undergraduate and graduate levels. They're very liberal in credit acceptance.

Yeah I already covered the ACE credits up above. Their list is outdated as some of the providers don't even exist anymore.

On their page, they do say that they accept credit from other providers from the ACE directory. But we don't know what the equivalencies are.

The link I provided from their website says what they accept and how it transfers in.
