Gracias por compartir tu experience; I’m planning to do my master with Purdue: nice to know about your experience. Blessings and good luck to you. 🙌🇨🇴💝🇺🇸💐

One project per credit or per class?

So happy to hear it! 🤩

That is annoying That it is a different Degree!

Yep PUG isn’t even related to PU. Any school with “global” on their names are not the real thing. Its a knockoff with little to no accreditation

Nice! You’re in their structured program rather than the ExcelTrack it sounds like. Sounds demanding in a good way 😄 Thanks for the insight!

@@CollegeHacked@CollegeHacked I am on the same track, and the workload has increased tremendously during my senior year.

Unfortunately they are not hackable 👎🏼

Excellent work 🤩 And thanks for sharing your experience!

Does it make you take test with a camera watching you??

That’s the real Purdue, which isn’t hackable, so we do not 👎🏼

UMGC is a great place for your grad program, sorry your Purdue experience wasn’t so great. Thanks for the feedback :)

You wont learn anything until ur in the field brother. College isn’t there to teach you about your career it’s there to familiarize you what you’d be doing in ur field. You will understand everything from actually working in ur field and learning

Whats your GPA ??

how much does it cost?

@@darkmavrik2490 I’m not sure. I never paid much attention since I was using the gi bill.

It’s on the list! 😄

Hello, I'm planning to get CBE Safety and Health but I'm ESL don't know if I'll make it, just working on my GED,.

Did you have to verify if you were able to transfer the credits? Additionally, what degree did you apply for? I am based in Texas and I would like to look further into this please and thank you!

There are two different sets of programs there, the weekly deadlines majors and the ExcelTrack majors. Often times the advisors aren’t trained on both, so they probably didn’t know much 😅 Unfortunate reality in schools that have multiple types of degree offerings!

Haven’t had anyone go through that one!

Go for it; these losers are complaining and they don't have degrees like we do.

We would love for them to add CS 🙏🏼

Listen go to course hero and download assignments from different Universities and compare them; Purdue Global is par with them; all Universities use similar resources in IT classes; for example when I was doing research I used to find material from different Universities; similar to the one we were learning in Purdue Global; don't let these losers discourage you; they are jealous that we have plenty of options online and they are attending regular Campus, wasting gas and paying for books.

Engineering is a tough major to hack, especially if the program is ABET accredited. Typically those classes and their prereqs have to be taken through a school and can’t be hacked. But if your longterm goal requires ABET, then it’s worth it.

UMass Global is on the list! :)

IT changed my life.

@@me_not_me Please don’t fall for this scam.

@@Shadow_2_2 How much did it cost you?

If your job will pay for it and no other school, it’s still worth it. But you might contact your HR about possible alternative options given PUGs current situation.

@CollegeHacked thank you for responding! Your videos also helped me put some things in perspective. And I, in fact, did take a closer look at our catalog. I have decided to go for my MPA through CSUF instead.

I have that same issue with my job, it pays for Capella but I’m concerned about their reputation.

Correct 😄

Good quality programs, and they accept 90 credits of transfer, but they are barely hackable. No Sophie/Study accepted, so not hackable in our book.

This is a great question! Finding former instructors on LinkedIn is a great way if you don’t have any contacts left from your former program. If you really have no way of finding anyone appropriate for the ask (usually jobs/grad programs want 1 academic, 1 professional, etc.), contact the admissions team and ask what they prefer you do. Usually they’ll just let you submit two professional recs, as opposed to requiring an academic one.

Very well said!

The great news is that the person makes the degree, not the other way around :) Work hard to learn things from your program you can point out in interviews later. How you feel about your degree is the main factor in how your interviewers feel about it. If you can talk about what you learned and genuinely say it was a good experience, that’s what they’ll get from it. Rather than have to lie, try to isolate some really positive things you experience or learned from the degree :) But you’re right that starting over elsewhere for cyber will mean losing a lot of credit. WGU would be the best transfer but you’d only get direct equivalencies because of their lack of free electives. Certs are more important for cyber anyway, I would go that direction if you feel ill-prepared by the degree :) (in addition to finishing the degree)

Enroll in courses through Sophia and transfer your credits to UMPI. Sophia's exams are open book and unproctored, allowing you to use an online calculator to successfully complete the necessary MAT classes.

Do your math on Sophia.

Dennis said it beautifully 😊

@@CollegeHacked .... thank you both for the feedback. Math feels like the biggest obstacle by far to a college degree. I will definitely check it out. I really think a video on the topic would help a lot of people.

Purdue the residential campus bought Purdue Online. They are not the same school, but they are indeed related

​@@CollegeHacked The Purdue University system has about five campuses. The main Purdue, the one that is ranked #43, is by far the largest and most important. But for example, Purdue University Northwest's mascot is the Lions, not the Boilermakers. They are different universities in the same system. Purdue University Global is like that, part of the Purdue system, not part of the #43 Purdue itself. The UNC-Chapel Hill / UNC-Pembroke analogy isn't perfect because the Purdue system is smaller than the UNC system and more built around the main campus. Maybe a better analogy would be LSU-Baton Rouge vs LSU-Shreveport. But for instance, if you are accepted to PUG, you can't decide to instead take all of your classes on the Purdue campus as an in-person student. You would need to apply to Purdue and be accepted. Also, the degree requirements are different - I don't mean just a difference in format or possibly difficulty, they are actually different classes. They are accredited as separate universities. The chancellor of Purdue is not the chancellor of Purdue University Global. They are different people in different jobs. Etc. In other words, it is not like Penn State where their Global campus is the same Penn State with a different delivery format. It is literally a different (albeit related in the sense of being part of the same system) university. Someone who goes to LSU-Shreveport and simply lists it as "LSU" on their resume, or someone who goes to UNC-Pembroke and simply lists it as "UNC", or someone who goes to PUG and simply lists it as "Purdue" ... or in some other way tries to pass of the actual university attended with the more prestigious related university (eg during the interview refers to "when I was a student at Purdue" in a deceptive way) ... is playing with fire.

$371 per credit, need at least 45 credits (180 credits in a quarter hour system bachelors), so at least ~$17k. If that’s the degree you want and that’s worth it to you, awesome! But consider that UMPI’s Communications degree is $5,500 :) Is the BS vs. BA worth $11.5k to you? I can virtually promise it isn’t to anyone else 😜

We’ve heard good things about it! It sounds like you’ve had an easy time so far?

@@CollegeHacked great. I have not started yet, I start April 6. However- I have looked over some videos and whatnot. Most say the same about the PUG process

I’m thinking about it and listening to the song. Stay tuned.

Sorry, but we only review US schools :)

I'm doing my bachelors there and I like it :)

We are aware :)

Thanks for watching, glad you’re enjoying the content! It’s definitely possible, just lots of writing papers, like she said! 📝

Did you start with PUG? If so, how are you feeling about it? How is the writing situation?

I am considering PUG right now for my Masters online. How has your experience been thus far?

@@dominiqued.4114 I have absolutely no complaints. I am in ExcelTrack, and in less than a month I went from 89 credits (transferred from another college), to 140 credits. I put about 8 hours a day into my classes though. Nonetheless, I will graduate with my bachelor’s in one more month maximum. Purdue Global only offers one master’s degree in ExcelTrack, but they do have others in traditional format. My advisor Yolanda is in constant contact with me and answers my questions very promptly. When it comes to ExcelTrack it is extremely extremely writing intensive. Writing is all you do, and if they paper is not borderline perfect, they will send it back to you. There is no grade lower than a “B” in ExcelTrack, with the exception of if by the end of the quarter you either did not resubmit assignments or did not submit assignments at all, then you will receive an “F”. I currently have a 4.0 GPA, but again, my achievements are due to the ridiculous hours I am putting in. I say go for it! Another option is WGU. All of their programs are comparable to ExcelTrack in that it is mostly competency based and working at your own pace. Some of the master’s programs can be complete in less than a year for students that already have a bachelor’s degree. On their website they note how long it takes the average person to complete the program. As with PGU, you pay one flat fee every quarter and you can take as many classes as you are able to handle.

@@whiskeyrock73 I am currently enrolled at PUG. I am approaching 4 weeks into the quarter. I transferred with approximately 80ish credits, and in 4 weeks I have a total of about 144 credits. I love it. But I do not stop. I am putting in 8 to 12 hours a day. Thankfully, I am not having to work, so I am able to commit a great deal of time to it. Some days I overdo it and get mentally and physically exhausted, but I am eager to get it over with. I’m almost 43, and enough is enough lol

Nope!

Just added it to the list. We’ve had a number of people ask for it now, and they do have great transfer charts and articulation agreements. It looks like a good option from my cursory glance.

If you have no work experience yet, there are better schools for you than Purdue!

No Global, no online😊

​@ishady27 I am graduating from PUG in 10 weeks, just curious how you know it doesn't say Global or Online? I heard it did say Global. That would be fantastic if it didn't!

It says global​@@mattmadrid6587

PUG is not PU

Interesting! What about the accounting job duties makes you feel unprepared, what do you feel you’re missing?

Hey how is it so far, do you need your full time to study?

I started there also, about a month ago ✨

@@deja_1111 How is your progress thus far? Are you requiring all of your available time for studying?

How is it going

...and???

There are better schools :)

looks like it could turn out cheaper than wgu if done right. i imagine it depends on the nursing degree specialty, if it's master level or bachelor's, and the number of credits you can transfer it.

If it is not regionally accredited it probably wont be useful for nursing.

PUG already IS regionally accredited.

@@RabbiJesus its RA. But thats not the issue.

@@malcolmjelani3588 until you’ve spent thousands of dollars and hours to get a degree that doesn’t actually get you where you want to be. That’s certainly an issue.

Yeah. They also likely wouldn’t be remaining under Purdue University ownership if they weren’t.

@@MateDrinker33 things must have changed because I thought HLC was national.

I looked at their website, I didn't see regional accreditation.

I look forward to the day State 45 Education LLC completes the process of transforming the University of Phoenix into Idaho State University Global! :D

You got that right; it used to be; Sprint use to be Sprint; now is Tmobile and Tmobile is an excellent phone service !!!!!! Losers!!

Say more

Is it that they don’t care? Or is it you can’t afford the tuition? I’m quite sure it’s the latter….

@@LipstickNWhiskey I've been a student with them for years now the tuition is actually on the lower side compared to other colleges I've gone to so your point of 'youre mad cause youre poor' makes no sense, the problem I have with this school is that I am constantly working, I still make time for school work but a lot of the time i cant get the work done within their time range causing my gpa to lower, this is honestly my own fault and at this time of writing this I was at my peak struggle to balance my academic and work life, the reason I never responded to CollegeHacked was because I was writing that post out of anger and nothing more. Now to answer your question, its neither and even if it were the latter do you honestly think its appropriate to make fun of someone for struggling financially? To anyone in the future reading this wanting to attended Purdue Global and are struggling financially, don't listen to this clown, talk to them they will be more then happy to help you enroll.

?

@@CollegeHacked PUG was created as a political stunt by the former system president/ former IN governor (Mitch Daniels). Purdue faculty opposed the school, and the University Senate voted against it. PUG has been a financial and academic failure. Purposeful confusion between the two schools harms legitimate Purdue students. Their hard work is sullied by this failed cash grab.

Come one; you guys are part of the Purdue System; we are as well; stop crying and whining.

Purdue Global isn’t even related to PU. Different accreditation, different faculty, different everything.
