We can’t wait to meet with you! 😁😁👏🏼

Way to go!! 🤩

I just wanted to say the BIGGEST thank you for this comment. This will save me thousands. ❤

We need a review on this school asap

@@MrOilmoney Eh, they only have seven programs, none of them in Tech. I also don't yet see an obvious way of accelerating the program. Could still be a good fit for several people, though.

@MateDrinker33 Some do not want a degree In tech. The reason I asked for the review is because it is the price for Texas residents deserves a more in depth look... hence the review.

@MateDrinker33 The video is about the cheapest college not the cheapest tech degree college.

What years did you attend, and did you need to appeal to take 4 classes?

Also if you don't finish a class it will be waitlisted.

And yet all that effort still gets you a nationally accredited degree 😔

@@CollegeHacked Could you transfer any of that to a more accredited program?

Yes on CSU please!🙏

Yes! CSU it's been recently regionally accredited and thy have a specific degree I want

It’s becoming more concrete-they’ll only accept two Sophia courses. Swap for Study.com!

I joined SNHU and they’re allowing me to take 60+ credits at Sophia. I haven’t started yet but they gave me a list. I have a list from my SNHU advisor to start. I’m going for my bachelor’s in business. I hope this helps.

@@CollegeHacked Revision to my own comment--they do still accept Sophia, it's been a whole debacle because they didn't make any formal announcements, just hinted at changes and we all reacted swiftly :) New video about it coming soon!

We’ll have to investigate this! 🔎

Check out your chosen grad program curriculum during your bachelors and take classes that touch on the same content. Then in your admissions essay, talk about the specific classes that overlap with what the school highlights as important in their program and tie in how you’ve basically been dreaming and planning on attending their school/program for a while!

@@CollegeHacked thanks you guys are the best

Check out our latest release!

It depends on the end goal. ACBSP works just fine for the majority of people :) AACSB is more of a research focus. If the end goal can be met without AACSB that’s much better for hacking.

1. Yes 2. No :)

Competency based learning is the future and WGU is capitalizing on it.

It’s been open for 20 years so I think they will be okay. Remember most people don’t have the dedication or time to finish in 1 - 5 months. I believe the average student finishes in 2 - 3 year.

@@karlstrauss2330 True, but i remember when people were saying similar about university of phoenix, and now its a joke of a school. Many employers are getting weary. Wondering if IT managers are starting to take notice of WGU.

@@davysmith8569 the problem with U of Phoenix is that they’re for-profit and have been involved with so many legal scandals which really damaged their reputation more than anything. So long as WGU stays non-profit and maintain education standards they should be OK.

@@davysmith8569 It's always a toss up though. Obviously people who got degrees from non-name brand schools for fields like accounting aren't going to get hired on brand recognition alone, like Harvard. But overall the quality of the graduates and the level of information they are able to apply on the job is what actually gets them through the door after the initial interview. I'd hate for decades of people's learning experience to be retroactively denied considering the sheer number of students who can't even finish a B.A in 4 years at a normal university. It's overly subjective to insist "many employers are getting weary?" Who said this and where? From what colleges or work programs are they reluctant to hire from? Why? And at what point did they suddenly decide that people short changing the college system somehow invalidates any other skills and experience the people bring to the table? Speaking in broad generalities without data is anecdotal evidence and most academics and actual statisticians hate speaking in those terms. Now for my own little philosophical diatribe on the merits and limits of online education: Context: Many people who come into WGU or other programs are career changers. People who did one thing with a different field or sat through an entirely self-taught path the their success but now want something else to further their journey along. College campuses in general suck at taking on non-traditional students especially in light of modern technology. There's no reason for people to go to night classes anymore if they can do the same work without commuting with a laptop and a webcam. Before the advent of the internet, I would have to agree, correspondence courses are cutting off key aspects of learning and interpersonal development that only a college class could provide. Now with the internet and people's relative mobility, Colleges are more repositories for scholastic information that needs to be digitized and disseminated, rather than the sole portents of a students learning opportunities. The scandal of U of Phoenix came about because it doesn't work on the same principals of academic development and the belief that research, and therefore academic street cred, it the only viable metric other than test scores to valuate people's skills for higher learning. At a Bachelor's level, almost no one cares where you come from. When you get into research fields however, Academics have their own pedigree and they often hold positions of power as gate keepers in business and academic institutions. To me what it points out is that U of P needs better resources to teach media and research as well as a full time retained faculty that is actually engaged with students and industry experts. They have the inverse problem of some of the worlds best universities, where professors are essentially unavailable to their students because they are so in demand, thus, ironically, kids are being educated by an adjunct or T.A rather than the subject matter expert. The person at hand is a subject matter expert in training at a top University, essentially the same as a questionable Professor at a For-Profit institution like U of P. This is problematic in other ways (i.e if you are making money off your students at a "good" university how much are you going to incentivize learning rather than bilking those that pay the most for the fastest degree award possible.) People ask these questions of for profit schools without realizing the same dynamic applies to other colleges where the professors expertise is in such high demand. My cynical counter is that all school is about monetary gain. Be it trade, online learning, or in person learning. We have to learn skills that we didn't before and while we find them interesting and at times life sustaining, the reality is that a certain number of professions are only worthwhile because of the money. Teaching underdeveloped kids for peanuts? A teaching shortage in the U.S and elsewhere indicates this is NOT the way to ensure basic education standards remain high. Even a Non-Profit school has to balance necessary budgets for overhead against resource distribution and care for disabled and or lower performing students. (Those who, while this is not PC to say so, will never complete a collegiate degree or hold a high level of employment due the intellectual deficits.) IT, Healthcare, and other fields offered by WGU have higher return ratings and graduation rates than most schools BECAUSE people need these services and are coming from life circumstances that standard colleges have by and large created as an exclusionary zone for attendance. While Non-Profits may preach inclusivity and opportunity, without a good online program, people's insistence that online programs are not only worse but less valuable is another way that Academia preserves a hegemony on knowledge. A direct contradiction of an organization that claims to be "Non-Profit" and therefore somehow more equitable and fair to the people most in need of higher skills training or education. All education is pay to play no matter where you go in the world, some of it gets paid for by tax payers and a larger majority by parents who move their kids to the best schools and work some of the hardest fields to ensure their kids have the same shot at upper level educational and life mobility choices. While it's fair to say that free education levels the playing field for people getting into jobs, the second reality is that a child's outcomes are the direct response to parental attitudes, fiscal dollars, and days spent making sure their child has the best possible outcomes. The difference by percentage of kids from lower class backgrounds that go onto attend college or Uni. in places like Germany is strongly correlated to whether or not their parents have any Uni. going experience. Eliminate people who value going to seek higher education as a day-to-day interaction and more kids fail to complete or enter the institution despite the fact lower level education is generally good AND is mostly free so long as you are a student. To deny students that after getting through a certain number of life experience/real world work experience means Universities and employers are essentially denying the need for any technical skills programs or lower level jobs which teach a better concrete grasp of daily skills that a university will never have the capacity to provide.

I'm interested in the answer as well.

UMPI isn’t ACBSP as of yet, but Liberty University, Southern New Hampshire, Thomas Edison, Western Governors, and Purdue Global all are 👌🏼

You’ll need proof of high school graduation or a GED to be accepted to TESU

Can’t say what the general average is at UMPI, but of our clients, yes :) 3-4 classes a term is pretty standard.

There are better schools :)

University of Maine at Presque Isle’s YourPace Psychology bachelors :)

Lots! Check out Liberty University Online :)

It is only nationally accredited, which isn’t enough for most grad schools and jobs. If it were regionally accredited it would be a better option.

UMPI doesn’t offer computer science, so SNHU or TESU

@@CollegeHacked So out of these two which one do you recommend?

@@Arham010 If all things are equal, TESU. It's more hackable and less required gen ed classes at the school. But there are a number of personal factors that could change which one is better for you. For example, TESU doesn't play nice with Sophia, so almost all of your hacked classes need to come from Study, which has proctored finals.

@@CollegeHacked Tesu had BA computer Science while SNHU has BS Computer Science. Do you think this makes a difference?

@@Arham010Nah. Not in this country, anyway.

You're right. My bad. Is my English major showing? haha

@@CollegeHacked love it!

I think that’s just how discord works.

Do you mean LAPUs new CBE program?

It stands for american public university sys. But its a regular college The college is really cost friendly but i just wanted to mention it i dont really know much about it@@CollegeHacked​

@@CollegeHackedabout LAPU’s CBE program, any info on it? I took classes there 3 years ago but didn’t finish… Maybe I can go back… but not sure if I would be able to transfer Sofia credits

@@16hrDaze If you try it, let me know! I tried about 6 months ago to email their registrar/admissions team for details and they basically said "that's a new program, we don't know anything about it yet" LOL

We haven’t heard anything like that from them :)
