Take your time reviewing advice on posts, threads, WIKI, and my signature links, here's an example thread that has info on the Big 3/CBE & PLA Cost Comparison, ACTFL/Foreign Transfer Credit, TESU Residency Waiver Tips, Degree Plan Template Links: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid335188

Within this thread above, you'll come across an Equivalency Example link, it's the perfect tool for Degree Planning! Moderators have updated this for the main institutions we recommend, TESU/UMPI, PUG/SNHU/WGU... At the bottom, it shows categories for all 5 institutions and also COSC/Excelsior, displaying all the degree plans for each institution!

Side Note: Duplicate Posts & Threads, Off-topic, Revival of Old threads.

Sometimes members have questions and want to create or revive an older thread to get the question out, it may sometimes come out as a revival of an old thread that hasn't been updated in several years (Or creating multiple threads in different sub forums, or even 'hijacking' the thread with your off-topic questions).

It may be a good idea to create multiple threads and keep updating it continuously with your questions or requests for info.  For example, a degree plan to know what course goes where.  However, if you start one thread for every single provider and course, that'll be too many, it'll be easier to reference and track with that one thread just for you as it's geared for your educational journey.

You might want to have a few threads and keep updating each of them, such as 1) a progress thread, 2) a questions or answers thread, 3) a degree plan thread all for yourself and keep updating them, 3 threads can pretty much house all you need... You can create another thread for whatever else you think will benefit yourself and others, these are just examples.

Ideally that's what I would want, but it never happens, people keep posting 1 question 1 thread and sometimes repeating the same thing on another thread.  The main reason you want to do this is so your details are compacted and concise, if you create multiple threads, it'll be harder to dig up info on your scenario/situation and people who are trying to help can't provide you a more complete or detailed answer.
