Advice for my 17 year old daughter with over 100 credits done... Computer/IT Focused.
#2
UoPeople is not a "real" university in the eyes of many universities like Georgia Tech. At least, not yet. She will need a degree from what's (formerlly) known as Regionally Accredited universities. Right now, UoPeople is Nationally Accredited, though it is in candidacy status for Regional Accreditation. An NA school might be perfectly acceptable for employment purposes, but it kind of sucks for continuing education.

I could be mistaken about Georgia Tech not accepting NA degrees, like those from UoPeople. If I am correct, she might or might not be able to use a Bachelor's from the University of Cincinnati, but GT would completely ignore any credits she earned from UoPeople. They just currently don't exist. She could wait and hope that UoPeople gets RA status. If it does, I think her degree would count as RA because it was completed during the candidacy period; I'm not sure about that, however.

Question: why is she getting so many degrees? What does she want to do with her life? Having so many degrees in such a short period of time, in such diverse fields, may actually hurt her future employment prospects.
