UMPI? WGU? What to do, what to do!

[ElderlyLeemur]

A PHR cert is worth 3cr UL at TESU f you took it between 01/01/2014 - 07/31/2018.  Any chance that's when you took the exam?  Otherwise, it's worth 2cr LL via ACE if you took it between 1/1/18-7/31/22 (so you could conceivably put it on your Credly transcript if they will do that, no idea).

So, IMHO, if you want an HR degree, then your best option is TESU's BSBA w/concentration in HRM.  If you don't care and just want "any" degree, then the UMPI BLS w/minor in Management is a good option.  It really depends on what kinds of jobs you're looking at - if you have years of experience, and just need a check-the-box, then UMPI is fine.

But honestly, TESU is good, their BSBA/HR degree is good (I have one), and you're well on your way to a degree with them.  You could get most of the remaining credits via test-out (Saylor, TECEP, CLEP, DSST, Davar, or Coopersmith) as opposed to Sophia if you wanted to.

I'll do degree plans for UMPI and TESU tonight.

Thank you kindly.  Unfortunately I took the PHR in 2020, passed on the first try with little study mainly due to having many years of experience in the field.  It is on my Credly as a Certification but no ACE credits listed (to my knowledge but now I have to confirm, lol.)
I really prefer an HR degree but yes, this is more a "check the box" situation. I own my own business so it's not really a "need" unless I want to continue HR consulting or be someone else's employee again which is always a possibility!

I look forward to seeing your degree plans and can't thank you enough!
