SNHU new gen ed requirements

[Jonathan Whatley]

Numerous self-paced courses in calculus and other advanced math areas with RA credit from Roger Williams University, but not cheap:

Some grad schools even ask for Sophia/SDC transcripts with percentages and calculate those classes into your GPA, even though most undergrad programs count them only as pass/fail classes.

I'm curious to know how would that work for Sophia courses.

I saw someone else's Sophia creedly transcript on YouTube, there only pass/fail, no mention of percentage earned.

Credly is pass/fail, but SDC will send out their own transcript (with percentages), if asked, and students can request a Sophia transcript to be sent via Parchment. The Parchment Sophia transcript will have percentages.

haven't read the entire thread, but 1.5 years is going to be tough if you really want the recommended courses
they all have prerequisites

I know, I don't mind taking my time to learn things.
What I care about is competency based ways to earn credits (75% of the credits)
If it takes me 30 hours to learn introduction to psychology but 300 hours to learn calculus 1, I'm okay with that.

Calculus 3 is usually required before Real Analysis
and of course that means Calculus 2 and Calculus 1

https://www.mathematics.utoronto.ca/site...ites_0.pdf

... list of courses that are recommended to ... in order to be seriously considered for the terminal master’s program :

* Linear Algebra, e.g. MAT 224
* Groups and Symmetries, e.g. MAT 301
* Complex Variables, e.g. MAT 334
* Real Analysis, e.g. MAT 337

State University of New York
Empire State University has all those
https://catalog.esc.edu/undergraduate/courses/math/
MATH 3010  Linear Algebra  (4 Credits)  
MATH 4010  Abstract Algebra I: Group Theory  (4 Credits)  
MATH 4025  Complex Variables  (4 Credits)  
MATH 4030  Real Analysis  (4 Credits)  

all offered online            
https://explore.suny.edu/courses
enter
"Empire State University" for the school
"Mathematics" for the subject area
"Upper Level Undergraduate" for the level

you could search that site for even more courses
pretty expensive if you're not a New York resident though

there's also
https://westcottcourses.com/math-courses/
* Calculus l  (4-year transferable)
* Calculus ll (4-year transferable)
* Calculus lll (4-year transferable)
* Discrete Structures (4-year transferable)
* Linear Algebra (4-year transferable)
* Methods of Proof (4-year transferable)
* Abstract Algebra (4-year transferable)

which is self study, proctored exam, credits MUST be through UMass Global  
https://westcottcourses.com/transferring-credits/

there's also American Public University System            
https://www.apu.apus.edu/course-schedule...tDirection=

* MATH418 Topology
* MATH305 Real Analysis
* MATH220 Linear Algebra

and other courses

as for Southern New Hampshire University
https://www.snhu.edu/admission/academic-.../VJnjmVIKe

one of these is required for the math degree
* MAT415 - Abstract Algebra (3)
* MAT470 - Real Analysis (3)
you can do the other as an math major elective

It's a shame that American Public University System is for profit
They have some interesting courses

How much does parchment cost?

[rachel83az]

For Sophia, I believe a Parchment transcript costs $5 to send. I could be wrong. It's not very much. An ASU transcript, also through Parchment, costs $15. The fees are set by the transcripting institution and not by Parchment.

Can one transcript contains all the courses you did through Sophia?

[bjcheung77]

Parchment goes by provider, so they have different agreements, it should be $5 for Sophia.org, $15 for ASU, and if you have some other institution, it'll go according to their rate...

I don't see how that matters
they're accredited
their price is around the same as other schools
I'm sure they have some crappy teachers, but all schools have some bad ones
too bad they don't have a reddit page to check out
SNHU does have a reddit page https://www.reddit.com/r/SNHU/ and there are complaints about some courses and praise for others

discrete math for example

Update: I got surprisingly good news from my SNHU advisor. She has gone to a meeting/seminar regarding the new curriculum and was able to give me notes on what Sophia classes will be accepted to transfer for the new BSCS course evaluation.
