While DEAC is nationally-accredited, it doesn't make it a bad option. I earned my bachelor's degree at a DEAC-accredited school & was accepted into a few really good MBA programs at regionally-accredited schools
Like Martin says, it's not the end of the world, but that jump from a nationally accredited bachelor's to a regional master's is less assured, so you have to know the risks.
In regards to the person asking how much mathematics they needed to pursue an accounting degree, or in their case, get away with, most traditional colleges & universities now require one year of calculus, and that has been the standard, since the early 1980s, which was set at the University of Pennsylvania, and most schools, nationwide, followed their lead shortly afterward.
I know people that apply extra credits for the calculus requirements by a stand alone course. It's not great considering how exspensive college is in general, the course fee is a bit more and isn't usually built into the curriculum. It stinks and is a way to bilge more money and time from other students. ASU includes calculus in their courses, and are rigorous enough that ABET and AASBC (STEM and businesses/finance/accounting higher ed certification) will transfer well even IF it doesn't necessarily fit into your day to day career activity. It's because computing and engineering overlap with software and other service questions as part of the future landscape. The issue I have with it is the calculus doesn't really apply to the daily operations skills you need in the job. If you don't use the information you bet it's going to flow from one ear and out the other side.
I’d like to learn more about this group of ten going back to college. I’m 54, unemployed, interviewing but interested in taking online classes. Yet I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

I didn't finish college (attended a CSU in CA from 2000-2004). Will any credits I earned transfer to an online? I know some will not since the time frame is over 15 yrs. Any advice?
I say go for it! If you have under 30 credits, I wouldn't sweat it and just pick a school you like and earn the credits back in other easy ways. But most of the schools in this video will have some great options for you and will likely take a very serious look at your credits: ua-cam.com/video/qOo14LpYcL8/v-deo.html. I've seen credits from the 70's show up in LUO transcripts, so I wouldn't worry about the age of the credits when it comes to online schools. They are very forgiving.
ON the topic of "How long does it take to prepare for a CLEP?" I got over 100 credits through CLEP/DSST/ACT-PEP exams in my late teens/early 20's. I took all but 1 of those COLD - with no studying at all. I chose to study for Statistics, because I NEEDED that one class to finish a degree, and didn't want to risk it - I spent a week studying for that one. I had been a good high school student, and was an avid reader. I passed about 80% of the tests I took on the first try (if I failed, I did not re-take that exam, I just moved on). I chose to take tests without preparing because of a work benefit that gave me free exams - there was no financial risk to failure. I did avoid the exams in subjects that I knew I was very bad at. So, it's entirely possible, if you're doing in exam in a course you took in high school, or in a subject you feel reasonably comfortable in. I don't think I'm a genius or anything : )
Grand Canyon is not a for-profit university, it’s actually like Liberty University a Christian college with brick and mortar campus as well as online programs.
@@CollegeHacked Thanks for the correction, I should clarify that the Dept of Education classifies them as a for-profit however the IRS and the Higher Learning Education Commission classify them as nonprofit. Good marketing indeed.
They are sooooo close to being regionally accredited (www.uopeople.edu/student-experience/quality/accreditation/#:~:text=The%20WASC%20Senior%20College%20and,9001.) which is the gold standard, but it will be a year or a few years before they are. Personally I'd take them more seriously once they are, but I love what they stand for!
Hi, I try to make appointment with you but July is full. I’m traveling abroad this month. I have Ged and my English isn’t good. I hate essays. I’m looking easy degree with no or less writing, what’s your recommendation please respond my question thank you,
Hey, thanks for trying to set up a meeting! Yeah, I'm getting super booked, but I have spots in early August still! Less writing? Well, math's an easy option for that. All degrees will have some writing, but math is good, and economics maybe. Some science degrees. But especially in an online degree, you are going to do a lot of writing--that's just the nature of the beast unfortunately. Happy to help you research more in an appointment where I can figure out more fo what you're looking for. The good news is that if you pick a degree that has you doing fewer courses at the college itself (i.e. hacking a degree), you can significantly cut down the amount of writing.
@@CollegeHacked thank you for your response, what you think business administration, or which business degree is easy and has less writing, I’m 34 years old self employed my goal is to have bachelors degree
@@somalivideoschannel1802 An Accounting business degree will have the least writing for sure, but the best degree is the one that preps you for your "next step" after graduation. A general business administration degree will be the easiest because it will have more free electives, which can be hacked more effectively.
First of all, I appreciate your help, now as I told you I have ged. from here what is next for me? where do I start. Is it better to go community college or apply one of online college? my goal is to get bachelor degree ASAP. At the same time after I finish my degree I don’t want to feel empty like I have no learn anything, please give me your best advice
@@somalivideoschannel1802 I could give more help in a consultation (collegehacked.com), but I will say that my first step would be to pick an online college and major that meet career goals, then start earning alternative credits (Sophia, CLEP, etc.), and then apply to the college. That's the usual blueprint I use.
Great question! For graduate school, I payed for my first semester with lawn mowing money and then got the other three paid for by the school by working as a Graduate Student Assistant. For my doctoral degree, because I was a full-time professor, my school let me attend their classes for free (up to 18 credits a year).
Hello! If I need to cancel my membership with Sophia learning, do I have the option to go back and continue? Or is it a one and done type of situation where I do whatever I can and once I cancel that’s it? (Finances are currently shaky so what I have this month I may not have next month for the auto renewal so I was wondering how I can make this work). Thank you for your time!
Are degrees from online degrees such as TESU, internationally recognised? (I’m a South African and wondering if these degrees would be accredited here? If I get a degree from online uni from TESU for example and transfer in a lot of credits, will I have issues with applying to graduate programs? (How will the transcript look like?/Do u have a GPA?)
That is a really good question for the graduate school you want to go to. Everyone will have different policies, so you want to go straight to the source. Plan backwards by researching admissions requirements at your desired graduate program. There's usually a web page there that says everything you need to know.
TESU is a perfectly legitimate school that has produced nurses, doctors and engineers. However, ask the graduate school if they'll take the credit. Some graduate schools won't bother with you if you have CC credit, do research.
@@malcolmjelani3588 That seems discriminatory if you ask me. I know it's because they want to insure students can meet the proficiency requirements but excluding people outright without reference to how hard or easy they perceive community college to be is arbitrarily limiting their graduate pool.
Hello my friend! I am from Brazil and I work remotely in a company in the USA, I would like to know if you have already consulted for someone from outside the country. I am interested in a college on business/marketing.

I feel like California Coast University is a no go because it’s DEAC accredited and not accredited by a regional body but a national body.
While DEAC is nationally-accredited, it doesn't make it a bad option. I earned my bachelor's degree at a DEAC-accredited school & was accepted into a few really good MBA programs at regionally-accredited schools

get a noise gate for your streaming software so you can run AC. OBS has one built into it.

Grand Canyon is a private, for-profit school :) But you just proved how good their marketing is.

Hey I was curious about your opinion on the University of the people. Specifically the computer science program.
They are sooooo close to being regionally accredited (www.uopeople.edu/student-experience/quality/accreditation/#:~:text=The%20WASC%20Senior%20College%20and,9001.) which is the gold standard, but it will be a year or a few years before they are. Personally I'd take them more seriously once they are, but I love what they stand for!
Can you build a college plan for high school student?
I want to get an EE degree. Any good places that are CLEP friendly?
Electrical Engineering? Probably not. That's a very hard degree to hack.
What do you think about Ashworth College and Penn Foster?
Haven't looked into them, but I'll add them tom y list.

How did you pay for your graduate and post graduate degrees?

For my doctoral degree, because I was a full-time professor, my school let me attend their classes for free (up to 18 credits a year).
WGU is that a good school
A really good one! Yes! They are regionally accredited and operate on a subscription model, so you can go at your own pace.
Is Achive Test Prep. RN program is good school?
As a prospective international student comes fall 2023,can I use Aleks math to hack my first year classes while in Africa

I think you can just go back to it. But I'm not sure. I'd check with them.
What happens if you fail the CLEP exams? Can you retake it? Once, twice, three times?
I don't know of a limit, but you can retake them.
