Yeah great for Americans!v anyways congrats! I've been checking them out only to find out no international students

Congratulations on becoming a first time parent!

@hiringsquad140 congratulations on the new baby and degree! Can you share more about the experience? What degree did you get?

@@trusttruth9916snhu is international friendly

Congratulations on the degree & baby!

Amen! The certs in certain programs are an amazing option 👏🏼

I’m thinking about going to wgu for cybersecurity. I have no experience or credits or anything but have been wondering how fast I could complete the degree and how much time I would have to put in for that.

Oh, thanks for the correction!

Is that college accredited? And public?

@@alraidernation5128 it’s been a college for more than 100 years, it’s regionally accredited which is preferable. It’s private.

That’s all it took?? Awesome 😎

You are so welcome! 🥳

Hello, did you end up transferring to WGU and if so how is it?

How was your experience?

What company do you work for? What programs allow companies to pay for college tuition?

How long you took to graduate from UMPI? Do you have 0 credit or credit transfer? Thanks

@@ishady27 I transferred in about 60 or so credits from previous college work and Sophia. I have been in for 2 terms and expect to graduate in 3. I'm not flying through it though, I've been busy with family and work so I'm taking it a little slower than I wanted to.

@@jenniferzorek9403 3 terms to graduate is awesome. Congrats to you. I hope I could do the same too 🤲

Jennifer, that's amazing! When you graduate, please send us an email so we can celebrate with you!!!

@@ishady27 Thank you! You can do it too!

That totally makes our day!! 🤩🤩

How’s your workload? I’m thinking of doing cybersecurity or web design and digital.

@@optymystyc so since then I switched to WGU because they include compTIA certs with the program but UMGC wasn’t bad at all. Super easy.

Which union?

NIIIIIIIIIIICE

Is it hard? Any math involved? I took College Algebra when i got my Assoc. Will that waive math for me?

How much is their TA for masters peogram?

@@larryhoover5782 the TA covers 750$ of a masters class. I pay the remaining amount.

Do vets get a discounted rate?

@@JDMorris81 yes

Way to go!!

I’m so old and trying once again to get my degree. It almost feels like it’s useless at this point because I’m so old

@@mycustompaintedlife502 Yes I agree as I am of early retirement age over 62yo, but I have over 127 college credits of accumulated college courses over the many years for Electronics, Computers and finally Business major(s); I finally feeling it is only the right educationally justified thing to do a final big last educationally motivated objective push to finally get a Bachelor's Liberal Arts Degree with Minor in Management Studies with UMPI educational facility institution; as that would have a tendency to be able to be more transfer college credits friendly for the many times I have found myself going back to college again to take college courses to improve and add to my general overall educational knowledge and better interesting overall variety of skill set experiences. This has led for me to objectively directly looking at UMPI much more closely as I like it for the very lower level of for college credit course transfer loss due them being much older than average and for the one's that may be in fact be to old one still has the option to at least take them with either Sophia.org or Study.com third party college credit earning transfer institutions. I also love the lower direct target objective cost of $1,400 ($25 per day) per eight week highly concentrated and focused college studies option which would allow one to objectively educationally achieve as many practical educational college credits in one eight week push for those who may have minimal free time availability that would allow for the most realistic flexibility. I also directly objectively highly appreciate the very compellingly popular rational common sense UMPI University approach to earning college credit experience for the older returning college student with its rather unique ability to de-emphasize the quarterly test exams, mid term exams and final exams in favor of rough draft set of written learning working assessment evaluation projects/essays that are formally evaluated by a designated assigned instructor for college course. One merely simply needs to follow the typically default recommended highly helpful and useful instructive corrective supplementary college student feedback; before submitting the final assessment assigned written evaluation project/essays that one will finally be evaluated and recommended for successfully earning one's objective college credits. Now this rational and logical minded direct objective educational approach seems to be the best objectively direct course of action; since I am also a very straight forward no-nonsense ex-military Navy sailor who is very much goal and objective oriented when it comes to achieving my final educationally compelling learning set of objectives for the last final time.

@@mycustompaintedlife502never too old to learn

Which kind of discount is that?

What damm discount and what job

A discount on tuition my mama work at Piedmont medical center and that is one of the companies they partner with which is why I got q discount. The catch is the company have to be on their list. My job was not but my mama job was.

Maricopa community college has a good program currently but is not very flexible on the fluff, and I wanna finish b4 AGI emerges in a couple years.

Also a program that has the most capstone/ portfolio building projects would be the best.

Alternatively a fafsa loan eligible certification would be legit too.

Did you ever find one? I think the best option was a comp si degree from Purdue or wgu. Or Maybe data analytics. What masters in AI are you looking at?

I only know of the Texas masters…

How long in total you get to finish?

@@trusttruth9916 two sessions. I took the cornerstone course and the information literacy course in one session (8 weeks) and the capstone in a second 8 week session.

What does it mean to be “hackable”?

@@gordyjackson9335 it means you can transfer in at least 75% of a degree’s required credits using alternative sources like CLEP test, military training via ACE/JST, Sophia Learning/Study/Straighterline/Google Certificates/IBM certificate all that have ACE credit recommendation. In the case of Excelsior University I was able to transfer in 113 of 120 credits using, military credits, Sophia, Study, Google and a some college transfer credits. I only had to take three courses at Excelsior to get my bachelors degree. I’m going to be starting a masters degree in a few months.

Congrats!! 🥳🥳

Check out Liberty University :)

That's awesome! Enjoy!

How can you get a pilot degree online? That’s awesome though! How does the price compare to other pilot degrees?

how did this workout?

You’ve got this! 🥳💪🏼

How long does it take and is it good for a person with a full time job

Working on the script now!

Liberty or UMPI would both be very good option for the military specific student depending on one's chosen particular university chosen major; liberal studies and minor in management would likely be very flexible in that requirement with UMPI; however LIberty University has much more to pick from a typical variety of chosen majors.

Hi, Biff! You could purchase a single session to talk about PhD programs, definitely :) The help we can give is just more limited at the graduate level, since graduate programs can’t be “hacked” in the same way undergrad degrees can. But knowing the differences between delivery models, potential residential requirements, and life experience options would probably provide a good bit of value to you! Our team also has PhDs, so lots of practical advice and insight on what the process requires and what to expect. Email me if you’d like! clifford@collegehacked.com

UAGC has been coming up a lot, it’s on the list!

I'm sorry what do you mean as the 'deac' accredited college credit?

@@ishady27 I'm referring to national accreditation

@@keithsdrinker I know and this really should change with colleges as well as employers.

Awesome!! 😁

That makes sense . It will look good on the resume 👍

Nice work!!

I got my bachelor's from SNHU and the army paid it through Tuition Assistance.

I am a 50 plus year old wanting to start college. Money is no option I will just need support. Any recommendations. I am thinking of something in the humanities field.

@SEEKERONE1 SNHU is great if you are looking for something online. Just avoid for-profit universities because a lot of them (but not all) are too expensive and not well respected.

Look at the University of Massachusetts Global (UMass Global) despite the name they are California-based. It's re-brand of Brandman University that was previously part of the Chapman University System. They have traditional courses and competency based programs. Their tuition is on the higher-end so you'll want to see if the grants really make a difference compared to the other schools on this list.

Sorry, that's a little bit outside of my area of expertise.

I was wondering the same thing. Look up Cal State University online programs. They show all the degrees available fully online and through which campus.

This was fortuitous, I was filming it just today 🔮

WGU is a great school. The only reason it’s not a good fit for you is because you have a chunk of transfer credit and WGU degrees don’t have free elective sections, meaning you’re likely to lose some of that credit. Look into UMPI and their YourPace, Liberal Studies majors! ~62 credits of free elective space 😎

Yes! It’s definitely possible to use financial aid for these schools, particularly at UMPI for their YourPace programs, which are so hackable you can reduce the total cost down to about $6,000, which is less than the max Pell Grant available, so you could potentially get the whole tuition for the school paid for and would only pay for the hacking platforms (Sophia.org and Study.com). Definitely worth contacting UMPI and filling out a FAFSA on fafsa.gov to see your aid eligibility :) The more information you know about your potential options the easier it will be to make the best decision for your situation! And you can get all this info without paying anything or committing yourself to anything-just start with data gathering.

Why not do the prereqs on Sophia for 1/4 of the cost? :)

Drexel is a great school, just not very hackable.

Yes, TESU has a very high successful graduation rate and a decently affordable twelve weed educational term along with a very transferable and TESU evaluation of previous college courses taken and work/life evaluation portfolio experience especially for their business accounting and business accounting CPA program

Purdue Global is awesome! We recommend it :) Particularly the ExcelTrack degrees.

I’m in the same situation as you. I’m looking for a great place but I don’t know what to do or who to choose: between Purdue or Liberty University. Doing my masters in business. I do appreciate your advice. Blessings to you.

Here you are

Check out my most recent shorts video, it explains the basics.

Will do!

Ok cool

@@CollegeHacked Yes please do so, I have 3 months attending GCU, and will like to know your review on it.

FYI… Purdue University - Global is not the same thing as Purdue University. If you want a degree in Health Information Management that’s actually worth the money, check out University of Michigan - Ann Arbor’s program through Coursera. Liberty University is also great, and they offer a discount for military and first responders.

Schools don’t provide laptops anymore, thankfully! That was a big scam for a while, they would roll it into your tuition cost but they would charge you WAY too much for it. You’re much better off getting a new or refurbished laptop on your own :) UMPI has a criminal justice major worth checking out 👏🏼

UMPI does not :)

Already scripted. Getting ready to film it!

We’ll add it to the list! :)

None of these do you have to go to in person except for a few very specific degrees sometimes at some schools, and those are all master's degrees.

Love it!

Nice!

Indeed we do. We've helped folks from (I think) 9 different countries so far! We'd be happy to help you too. :)

You can do it. I am a UMPI online student who transferred credits from my previous uni in S.E.Asia.

Great school! Not so hackable

Thanks for your reply@@CollegeHacked

Here for the answers!

They were one of ours too, until they just recently changed their transfer policy to stop accepting Sophia credits 💔

@@CollegeHacked - WOW !!! Thanks for letting us know. I graduated just in time..😊

You want a regionally accredited degree. While the conventions are created by the US, the rest of the world judges the degrees based on what the US says about them, so you want to stay away from UoP if you need an employer to respect the degree. If you only need the piece of paper to get through HR screenings and you have programming skills (can pass coding challenges in interviews and such), then UoP would probably work just fine.

Have you had any luck?

@@CollegeHacked I did eventually! I ended up doing the college credit work around (if you have so many credits you don’t have to worry about your diploma, so I did one more Sophia class to get me there) otherwise I would have had to snail mail it in. I’m going to SNHU though after all because they accepted almost double of my previous credits than UMPI. I’m sad because I wanted UMPIs true competency based format but hopefully SNHU will be a good decision.

Sorry, we only cover US colleges!

Just sign up here, and we'll get you started! www.collegehacked.com

We likely will eventually! But you can’t hack a grad degree like an undergrad degree, so that’s why our focus doesn’t tend to go there as much.

I've worked with one or two others. :) You're not alone.

That’s funny I was actually thinking about trying to do a online German university from the USA because the extremely low cost. Do you know which ones are the best? Why do you think umpi is better than all the German universities?

@@haveaniceday7950 its much more flexible. German distance learning programs are not that much cheaper if you hack UMPI. Maybe 50% cheaper but you will take much longer to graduate, so you pay an opportunity cost. There is no testing out or moving ahead so UMPI is by all accounts faster. Most online programs from Germany are in German on the undergraduate level. There is the Fernuniversität Hagen which is a state owned distance university. Its almost entirely in German and super inflexible compared to UMPI. I am not sure about the private universities here that offer online degrees but I doubt they will beat UMPI in terms of flexbility and even in terms of cost they wont differ that much. In person universities cost almost next to nothing here upfront (Just with taxes) Which one / ones were you considering if I may ask?

Hi, I am in the same boat 😂 i want to study in SNHU but i am likely the only one in Saudi Arabia who is looking for hackable online degrees i didn’t find anyone who are interested in it

​​@@alganad2609 ارحب يالسعودي . انا مثلك قاعد افكر اسجل في نفس الجامعه بس متردد. انت سجلت والا باقي؟

We feel the same 🤪 Any competency based program! UMPI and their YourPace degrees, Purdue Global and their ExcelTrack, and WGU, those are our top 3 recommendations :)

For high school? Great! :)

Do you mean you’re a senior in college or high school?

Nope!

Don't tell WGU I said this, but if you want a business degree, UMPI is better. :)

Same here,I am sad..

@@CollegeHacked Better in which way,? WGU online Competency based and can finish at your own speed?

Yeah I Just started looking about a week ago found WGU about to enrol only to find out that they don't accept international students! i'm pissed because that was my fastrack ticket

@@trusttruth9916 Yes, the UMPI University College Degree is also online competency based and also self paced; the UMPI delivered online courses are delivered in eight week flat rate term sections for $1,500 per term so if one has enough time one can potentially take up to thirty college credits in that eight week flat rater term sections for $1,500; also they do not have class proctored exams whatsoever at all; the actual for college credit course class grade is entirely based on one single final written evaluation and assessment project/ essay that is highly recommended to be submitted as a initial written rough draft for evaluation and assessment; that is in fact looked over by assigned college class instructor that has marked and edited the initial written rough draft that was submitted for rough evaluation and assessment for the highly recommended feedback response improvements; the student resubmits the assigned written evaluation and assessment project/ essay with the proper recommended feedback improvement to be incorporated into the final written evaluation and assessment project/ essay for earning the college credits for the college course taken. Now it simply does not get better than that for a typical four year university college student and for $1,500 for a single flat rate full time rate college tuition rate for eight weeks that is repeated six times per year annually with up to fifteen to eighteen full time for college credit course load every eight weeks. Now one could even probably finish 120 college credits in under two years time, in under ten eight week flat rate full time $1,500 college tuition term period, six times per year that would add up to a very modest and reasonable eight- eight week flat rate full time $1,500 college tuition term period for an unheard of $12,000 in under a year and a half. Even if one cannot afford more than one term eight week flat rate full time $1,500 college tuition term period one can still optimally earn let's say around eighteen college credits in the last eight weeks of the year; year after year one can still earn the four year university college degree still in less than seven years quite readily and easily

really? I have had no issues with getting in contact with them.

I registered with them months ago, they did respond slowly, but in my case, I finally got my classes confirmation a few days ago. So I will enroll in their summer terms (May 8, 2023). With 90 credits to go, I hope I could pass each class fast, so I could graduate in 6-9 months I hope 😀😀😀

It at first you don't succeed, email people in leadership. :)

@@CollegeHacked clever

It is always better to send a introductory letter of intent to apply at UMPI to their admissions department; before sending over the electronic college transcripts which must be sent over by your educational college institution and not ever by you as the college student of that educational institution; now it is always a good idea for you as the potential UMPI college student candidate; to also objectively directly request to have your educational institution also transmit over at the same time the same duplicate record attachment copy of your electronic college transcript that was also directly sent to UMPI; this is to facilitate, confirm and verify the time/date stamped copy of electronic college transcript records and its included contents that was transmitted for future reference if ever needed; then also immediately follow up after receiving one's own said directly transmitted attachment of electronic college transcript record from one's own educational institution; by sending over the same said referenced objective follow up electronic letter of intent of the completed electronic college transcript record transmission transaction to UMPI; now one can and should always also request that UMPI reply and respond back about what to objectively do next as part of the ongoing prospective UMPI college student candidate ongoing enrollment and UMPI class registration on-boarding facilitation process.

No, because UoP isn’t regionally accredited and Franklin is.

Actually a certificate would be the easiest :) The drawback to being what’s called non-degree seeking is that you aren’t eligible for financial aid. If you can find an undergrad cert that meets the credit hour requirement you have, you can use financial aid AND confer the cert at the end to have something for the work :) Check out Liberty University, they do a lot of certificates that roll into their AA and BS degrees if desired.

@@CollegeHacked Thank you!

I currently plan to take straighterline. Most online require in class labs. I am Currently a stay at home dad and want to knock out as much as possible to become a nurse

WGU :)

Those are a lot of diverse areas! Sounds like you would benefit from a one-on-one exploratory session with us :)

@@CollegeHacked Don't have the money to pay upfront.

These are the two types of accreditation used in the U.S. Regional accreditation is typically considered more prestigious and widely recognized (i.e. it's the gold standard for degree accreditation). In most cases you will want a regionally accredited degree, especially if you're planning to pursue a graduate degree in the future, transfer your credits or enter a competitive career. There are a handful of regional accrediting bodies that cover various regions in the U.S. MSCHE, NECHE, NWCCU and HLC are just a few of them. There are also specialized or program specific accreditations like IACBE for instance which is a common one for business-related degrees. There are also some forms of accreditation that are required for state licensure such as CACREP (for counseling/therapist master's degrees) or ABA (for law degrees). These are usually only for graduate programs however. To summarize, if you're going for any degree whatsoever, make sure it's regionally accredited. If you will need a specific license for your future career, make sure your degree has any accreditation that is required to get said license. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Quicker than what? 😋

We’ll add it to the list! :)

Good info!

That would be awesome!

I hope so!

Thomas Edison State has a degree in Aviation Management if that’s what you’re looking for :)

Yes! Hacking is usually done before the classes at the school being graduated from, but many schools will also take dual enrollment students if that made more sense for your situation :) In high school, a great first step is to take CLEP exams that overlap with the class subjects they are in already!

Not yet!

We’d actually recommend going straight for the bachelor’s! At UMPI you can finish a YourPace degree in CJ with about 6 months of hacking and 6 months at UMPI, done in a year for about $5.5k :)

Liberty University :)

@@CollegeHackedI will say that it has not been easy for me to get into Liberty’s DBA program. Any advice? Is it hackable on this level?

@@riecie554 The DBA is definitely competitive, but there are many courses you can "hack" via portfolio credit. Check it out! www.liberty.edu/online/credit-experience-by-portfolio/

@@CollegeHacked thank you!!

Try the YourPace majors at UMPI :)

Look into the University of Maine at Presque Isle’s YourPace program :)

Ashworth isn’t very hackable and they have cumbersome transfer policies. CCU has great transfer policies but no equivalency charts, and it’s only nationally accredited. Penn Foster College is also only nationally accredited. We highly advise pursuing a regionally accredited degree. :) There are better schools you could attend than these ones.

It is strange that you say that when in this same video you talk about a University of People which has the same accreditation as the three that I mentioned before and you say that regional accreditations are recommended when you also talk about Liberty University which is also nationally accredited.

Nope, Liberty is regionally accredited.

UMPI, Purdue Global, WGU :)

I didn’t see nothing for UMPI for masters

It’s a for-profit, which means there are better schools :)

WGU :)
