UMPI grad here! I still watch your videos, I tell everyone I know about your channel. Starting my MBA program this summer at University of Texas at Dallas.
🤩 You made our day, that is too cool. Thank you for the word of mouth, and CONGRATS on your bachelors and impending masters! 😍😍
Congrats
Congratulations!!! I'm inspiring to be you!
Congratulations! What did you get your degree in @ UMPI.@itsdonye
@@Sippurpose Thanks! Liberal Studies. But I highly recommend you go for the BS, it's only 3-4 additional classes.
In Europe, there is a HUGE difference in how Universities are perceived when compared with Colleges. If you're looking to work in Europe, you need "University" on your diploma. However, in a university system, there are smaller divisions called colleges (think Cambridge University's "Magdalen College" where CS Lewis taught), If you go to a college that is *within* a university - you went to a university.
Makes sense, thanks for this!
Umpi is in fact a university, it’s a state university.
I watch every single one of these videos! I'm currently working on my second BA Comp sci and Biology from TESU and third BA Business Admin from UMPI!
WOW. You might break a record. Both for watching all of our videos and having a ton of degrees 😂👌🏼
Interesting fact about Bellevue, it’s a partner school for Walmart’s Live Better U program. So essentially any full or part time hourly employees can enroll in Live Better U and Walmart/Sam’s will pay 100% of the tuition up front.
This is probably why they come up so much! Thanks for the info 😄
I love these Q&As. They get me through my work day.
Dawww 🥰
I'd love to see more love for the graduate level and higher degrees from this channel. For example, things like how portfolio submissions work and how they compare between different universities.
We’d do more grad stuff, but there just isn’t enough demand to justify the time/editing investment so far. But we do a few grad consultations a week now, so there’s help for anyone who needs it!
Clifford I was accepted to the UMPI MAOL yesterday. I will be starting soon. Thanks to your great advice!
You are so welcome, and congrats!
Excelsior accepted the most credits (101 credits for me) when most schools only offer 90 credits max of transfer credits...
Would so many transferred credits affect grad school application?
Just found out UMPI isn’t accepting my transfer credits from a trade school, mainly electives. 😢. Currently have 24 credits completed on Sophia need to get up to 90. Completed those in less than a month. Was so glad to hear you talk about those upper level credits, I was wondering if I could do that! Thank you for providing all this information and giving hope with great guidance to people.
How did you do 20? I’m still on 1 credit 😂😂
@@fuilik1 unemployed at the moment and using Sophia as my 9-5. 🫡🫡🫡
If you mean they are accepting your credits only as electives, consider a liberal studies major! They should apply there because there is more space than in a structured degree :) You got this! 👏🏼
@@CollegeHacked unfortunately they are NOT accepting them as any type of credit (credits are from Universal Technical Institute). I was thinking they would accept them as electives. Also no credit for my work experience including 20 years of business management. I enrolled in their BLS with a minor in management. UNOH has stated the will accept the credits, I may change strategies. Thank you for the reply!
Hey, try and take at least half of your courses at UMPI, they are not hard as you think, some are long and some are extremely short.
I just want to thank you both. You have helped me so much in narrowing down the schools and programs I want to attend. I found the information shared on this channel very valuable and credible. I just applied to UMPI!
CONGRATS AMANDA!!! 🥳🥳🥳 We are rooting for you! 😁👏🏼 So glad we could help :)
@@CollegeHacked thank you SO much! I'm looking forward to attending UMPI!
Wgu does have internship options. They use handshake to connect you with employers.
I already schedule my call next Tuesday but I suscribed to Sophia Learning today and just stared English Composition I !!!!
We can’t wait to get you situated! 🤩 Happy hacking 😎
this is my first step to my Phd ....
SOPHIA!! UMPI!!!
4:00: When you eventually get around to researching UWM, you’re not going to like what you find, lmfao! I’ve personally researched the shit out of it, and while up to 90+ CLEP credits are SUPPORTED in the IT degree, that same degree only has a 35% transfer rate for ACE credits in general (i.e., at best, only 14 CLEPs can fit in a BS, and only 7 CLEPS to an AS). Most of their degrees also do not support the DSSTs at this time. TECEPs might actually be a possibility (since they have been confirmed to accept FULL COURSES from TESU), but though don’t have a transparent policy in place for it yet.
My man. You are the real MVP! 👏🏼 Bummer about the results, but awesome research.
WGU accepted all of my transfer credits from my previous (now defunct) college. I'm currently a student and I'm pretty happy with WGU
Excellent! 🤩 It’s always great to hear good transfer credit stories, because that’s usually one of the downsides to WGU is if someone has transfer credit that doesn’t fit in the degree!
Great video!!
I’m excited to see more from you guys about Excelsior University. I’ll be finishing up my degree there in August!
Nice! How has the experience been, would love to know anything you’re willing to share 😄
Excelsior is a good school and my friend brought in 117 credits and only had to take a 3 credit capstone
Hello! I enjoy your channel. Was surprised to see my comment made it. I actually have forgotten what my point was 😂 I believe my point for a “hack” is having your employer pay for part of a degree. I’ve had help from employers on both masters. Thanks for what you do!
Nice!! You’re doing it right 😁
Nexford University is not Regionally Accredited (according to DAPIP). It is only DEAC accredited (not recommended)
Hey y'all, I really loved the video!! Wondering if y'all will ever do a video on UMGC? They have some pretty interesting programs of study, particularly the one that stood out to me was their BS in Homeland Security Degree Program because I haven't seen a lot of online universities have these types of niche/specialized degrees which I wish more online universities had, especially for someone who has a background in a niche/specific program like Homeland Security.
UMGC is on the list for a review! :) TESU has homeland, and it’s the only one on our usual list of schools that does, you’re right to say it’s rare! Would love another option to recommend, hopefully UMGC will be the one 😊
APU is actually very ACE friendly with Sophia and Study. Up to 90 transfer semester credits allowed.
It is horrible. It is only for profit and the department of Education has had problems with it. STAY AWAY FROM IT!!
Yeah, I looked up their transfer guides after the video and they at least have clear equivalencies! Still won’t send anyone there because there’s always going to be a better option reputation wise, but I stand corrected on the hackability 😋
You should look at Salem University in West Virginia. While they are For Profit, they have a 40% graduation rate, accept some CLEP and Sophia (even into the Nursing program!) and some masters degrees while not offering ACE/CLEP, they offer experience credit for non-traditional students coming back for the graduate degree. All the programs are accelerated and you get 1-2 courses per month/4-weeks so it’s great for working adults. I can’t get you in contact with the people I know if you want!
I like the sounds of it! Tried to find the Sophia equivalencies but they don’t seem to be public. If you think they are hackable and have someone there willing to talk to us, we’d love to learn more! email clifford@collegehacked.com
About to start YourPace program with about 40 credits transferred in but no Sophia. Need about 27 courses. But signed up to Sophia just now to make things easier/faster/cheaper (hopefully) because of 9:19 haha. Thanks guys! Y'all are awesome!
Excellent choice 🤩 Happy hacking!
11% graduation rate at APU is insane! Took a break from my Sophia statistics milestone to comment.
😂👏🏼
Amazing ! Vídeo thanks 🙏
I’m curious what you think about the Fort Hays State University (FHSU) online program. It looks like they have an online CS degree for less than $200/credit hour, but I don’t know much about it outside of that.
Public state school, great graduation rate, awesome per credit hour price, and good transfer policies.. the only downside I see on cursory glance is it doesn’t look like they accept ACE credits from Sophia/Study, only in relation to military.
Dr. Stumme, I just found your channel the other day and i am so grateful for it. About 2 years ago i recieved my AA in psychology and tranfered to a large (and expensive) 4year university in my area. I had an awful experience there and dropped out, but after finding your channel i now have faith i can complete my degree quickly, inexpensively and while working full time. I have looked into UMPI regarding a bachelors in psychology and if all goes well, i want to obtain a masters in social work. I dont necessarily want to be a social worker, but i am very passionate about mental health and psychology as a study. Do you recommend i follow through with said area of study in terms of career opportunities or would it be better for me to switch my major so social work for a bachelors degree? I want something as hackable as possible though
Social work is a surprisingly hard major to find at a hackable school, but it’s the licensure that leads to complexity. If your goal isn’t necessarily to be a LSW, definitely recommend doing the psychology undergrad at UMPI and letting your experience with that inform your next step 😄
Hi
I learned a lot from this video !
Informative!
What is the cost of your program?
Thank you!!😀😀😀
So glad you found it helpful! Visit collegehacked.com for current prices 😄
You mentioned that potential students need to get the Clep/Sophia class credit complete BEFORE applying to LUO or SNHU? Is there a reason for this?
Do online schools reject transfer credits after a student has only taken the step of applying?
WGU and LUO are the two main schools where sequence matters, they have some idiosyncrasies :) If you’re hacking on your own just make sure to call your school first and talk to them about your plan so you know the details!
I watch all your videos and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone ask this question.
South College (private for-profit, I know I know) offers a competency-based DBA and EdD. Would love to hear your thoughts on those programs. Thanks!
I’m not aware of another CBE DBA, so major points for that. Minor point deduction for being for-profit, which you already knew 😉 But their website is well put together, their 6-month blocks are perfect for doctoral work, and Reddit seems to like the program from what I read! I will say the admissions requirements are very low, but if they have the infrastructure to support less-prepared students then that doesn’t have to mean bad things automatically.
What is the best way to get a bachelor's as a way to set yourself up for graduates programs in the psychology/mental health field while also not having your bachelor's degree be worthless?
I think what you’re asking is if a major other than psychology can get you into grad psych/therapy programs, and the answer is yes 😄 If you Google Liberty University LPC, their therapy licensure degree will pop up. Once you look at the admissions requirements you’ll see they accept any major, no prereqs for admissions requirements needed. Not all quality schools are so lenient, but some are. As far as what major to go for, accounting or billing and coding are good ones.
WGU gives degrees to anyone with a pulse. Most of their degree programs can be completed in a few weeks, if that. I have no idea how they are accredited.
That has not been our experience with them
I'm having a hard time finding info about free electives at UMPI
Almost any class in a source of credit they accept will work as a free elective there :)
Great video! I found out Liberty University online will accept 90 of my previous credits towards a BS Interdisciplinary degree. I was initially very excited, but I'm not sure if I should commit to LUO because of recent negative press regarding 14 million dollar fines and that Hulu documentary regarding the former college president. Do I need to worry about LUO losing accreditation for this type of stuff? Or am I over thinking this?
This is an excellent question. The way we think about this issue and guide clients is to evaluate how the core issue the school is having might impact their personal education. In this case, the problem was with residential students and Title IX requirements. This is something that won’t impact your personal education, so that’s good. As far as brand name, the school is definitely not losing their accreditation. As terrible as what they did was (and thankfully they got called out and penalized for their actions), it was a part of the campus culture. Reputation wise, it’s never fun to have your school attract negative press, but it doesn’t automatically mean the whole school is bad. If they were in trouble for misleading students and poor academic standards, that would be a very different story. :) That said, everyone has to make their own decision about where to attend school and what they feel good about so it’s up to you!
What are the 3 upper credit level courses that umpi will take from Sophia
If I only have a handful of college credits would it be a good idea to transfer to WGU for my bachelors without having a AS or AA ?
I see Computer Science being offered at UMPI, can it be accelerated?
It’s only offered in their structured 8-week course style, so it can’t be completed as fast as a YourPace degree, but it’s likely still hackable!
How about National University? I’m trying to figure out their accreditation
Used to be solid, but in the last few years it has had leadership issues. It’s a regionally accredited non-profit, though.
Finance degree for indian and college?
Southern New Hampshire University or Thomas Edison State University!
Do you know anything about The Open University? It popped up while I was doing some research and it seemed pretty good! Just curious if you all know anything of it.
Great option for those who need a degree recognized in the US and UK 😄 It does not appear to be hackable though.
Which school is more reputable snhu or tesu? Thank you 🙏🏻
Both are reputable, but if you mean which is regarded as having a higher quality curriculum, TESU. They don’t accept Sophia courses for anything but free electives, which is the main drawback for the hacking experience.
@@CollegeHackedthanks so much for the reply 🙏🏻 highly appreciated
I got questionss!
Hear me out…
I enrolled at SNHU (BA MIS concentration) when I shouldn’t have.
My starting date should be May 6.
According to my own credit mapping, I should be able to transfer about 87 credits with Sophia.
I spoke to the counselor and told them I might delay the start date (until July). They said I could stay at the May 6 date window, and submit or transfer any credits while studying with them.
Should I believe them that I will be able to transfer credits?
They claim that they’re not sure that the current curriculum and transfer credits will be available for next starting dates.
So should I do a marathon run on Sophia and try get as many credits in one month?, or should I try to push the date to take it more easy? Is there even a valid reason to push the start date? lol
Other online colleges for this degree?
Honorary mention to SNHU admissions team, they are phenomenal!
Thanks for creating this channel🐢
Im waiting on the application to be accepted. They said since I don’t have any credits to be checked, I can go a little bit faster.
Yes! SNHU will let you hack on Study/Sophia while you’re enrolled with them. You could also choose to do a marathon, but there’s no NEED to :) SNHU is a fine school, especially for more rare majors. But there are cheaper options, mainly UMPI, depending on what your goals are :)
Thank you for your response🫶.
I heard about SNHU through one of your videos. And even though I am trying to get the Management Information System to start a career in the business/technology industry, your tips are useful and if I’m able to transfer credits (87/120), I could graduate in 1year (2 years at most). THANK YOU!
Btw, as an ESL student, Sophia got me on my first course with a European accent teacher😭😂
Which University require the least amount of research papers and power point presentations?
WGU!
Mr Clifford, your channel is awsome, actually I am a surgeon, I want to continue my education on doctoral programe through online university do you have any suggestions college for me that has good qualifications ? I hope you can give me several example so I can compare it, thank you
What are you looking to study? Liberty University has a number of online terminal degrees 👍🏼
@@CollegeHacked I am a vasular surgeon so I look for something linier with my professional carrier now, do you have any specific suggestions about liberty university so I can contact them ? Thanks before hand
@@affansungkar5728 It sounds like you should do some additional soul searching about what your goal is. You're already a doctor and highly educated, so if you don't know what you want to study you may not know the value you're trying to gain from a degree. If you call a school they will happily sell you on something, but it would be a better idea to nail down your priorities and reasons for pursuing another degree first so you have clearer goals. :)
How long are credits (particularly Sophia) good for? My son is 14 and I don't want his credits to expire. Thank you.
It depends on the policy of the receiving school! Usually somewhere around 5-7 years.
Could you please provide me with a list of your top five online colleges and universities that do not require proctored exams?
That information is already in our Top 7 Online Schools video, check it out 😄
@@CollegeHacked send me the link please.
Does hacking your degree like this affect your chance of getting into an AACSB accredited MBA program? I have heard mixed reviews on whether it will or not.
That’s a really good question, and it depends on the school, but generally we find that it doesn't. We’re able to go more in detail in a consultation if you’re interested: www.collegehacked.com!
I'm nearing the completion of my undergraduate studies in sociology at UAGC and I’m exploring options for online Master's degree programs in social work or mental health counseling. I'm specifically looking for programs that offer asynchronous learning. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for reputable programs that cater to students transitioning from undergraduate studies? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Liberty University has a great, asynchronous MSW and numerous other mental health degrees! :)
Thank you so much for your recommendation 😊
It’s a University
What are the three Sophia courses that come in as upper level at UMPI?
Microbiology, Business Ethics, and Business Law. Business Ethics is of the three UMPI undergrad classes accepted for transfer into their MAOL. So if you want that conversion down the road make sure you take that one at the school instead of on Sophia :)
Hi Clifford. If you reach 112 credits at umpi can you apply for the MAOL degree?
That, or the degree needs to be conferred first. Not sure which at UMPI!
@@CollegeHacked BLS management
Good hackable college for early childhood education? I have been in the field 10 years almost but need my degree to move up and im a busy mom with kids so im trying to do it cheap and fully online lol i have been looking with no luck so i thought i would ask
Seems that you don't need the degree, you only need the corresponding knowledge to teach your kid. Then Coursera is the best option.
Liberty University has an excellent, asynchronous Early Childhood Education bachelors degree :) But if you don’t need that particular major and just need specific classes in early childhood education, you could do a build-your-own-major (chipotle degree) bachelors for less time and money. :)
What about Bellevue University?
Pretty hackable! It’s on the list for a video :)
You are awesome!@@CollegeHacked
Can you hack an associate degree
Indeed!
Which school is best for accepting 100+ transfer credits with a low tuition and high grad rate: Franklin U, Excelsior or Charter Oaks? (And low residency requirements)
What means "low residency requirements"?
Lowest amount of credits required while attending that school@@ChakokkNo
The lowest amount of credits you need to earn at the place you are earning your degree from@@ChakokkNo
The amount of credits required while earning your degree at a particular institution. For example, most universities require 30 minimum credits as part of their degree requirements@@ChakokkNo
The amount of credits one needs to take at the institution where one is earning their degree@@ChakokkNo
Are you two married? Or just business partners? Or both?
Friends and business partners :) We were university faculty together for a few years while earning our PhDs and then teamed up again a few years after that for College Hacked!
First to comment on this amazing video
Does every UMPI yourpace degree require you to do some field experience?
The BABA and BLS degrees don’t :)
The way you pronounced deJesus is the whitest thing I have ever heard 😂😂😂 it’s fine, but so funny
