WGU let me transfer in 36 credits from my previous undergrad degree towards their Bachelor of Science in Software Development. Then I transferred in another 11 credits from Sophia which only took me a month to complete. So I came in with 47 credits which is nuts, 38% completed with the degree with their transfer process. Now the plan is to take 2 classes a month for the next 9-12 months and graduate with my second bachelors.

[@Icyyellowsandroutes8823]

I'm sure they're a good college but I find it ironic that they offer an Artificial Intelligence program when their "chat with a bot" on their website doesn't even answer questions very well. You think they'd hire someone to program more "intelligent" AI software to answer students questions. That'd be an ultimate form of advertisement for them for that program alone if they could accomplish that. Especially if they showcase that someone similar to an AI student are the types of people that designed the programming. Something like,... *This chat bot is designed by one of our very own AI program's students* They'd probably have more students and/or popularity than they could shake a stick at. Like all businesses though, even colleges, money is always one of the biggest obstacles.

It’s a bit overwhelming playing the return to college game. Especially with transferring credits. One thing you didn’t touch on with these 5 schools is how they might evaluate older courses / “expired” credits. I think with pandemic era, there are tons of people with older credits they’d like to apply to a new or finishing degree. Myself included. Also, which programs within respective schools are the best to obtain degrees in? Going bts for a liberal arts degree is a waste of time, unless you just want the accolades of having a degree.

[@CollegeHacked]

Interesting points, J. You'll find that over 85% of people go into careers that have nothing to do with their degree, so a liberal arts degree is really useful in just being a rubber stamp that gets you the job.

[@felipewatkinson2101]

Dr. Clifford. After serving over 40 years as a second-gen Christian missionary to Mexico, and having worked as a self-taught BI/ Tableau Developer in the healthcare sector for the last 8 years, I am finding it necessary to once again re-invent myself in order to ensure job safety and security. I am native level fluent in both English and Spanish, so the path of least resistance would be a BA/MA in Spanish. The second option is to continue to build on my existing IT skills and pursue either a BA in Cloud Data or Data Analytics. However, being 60+ and working full-time, the first option makes much more sense. The one caveat is that I need to do it in the least amount of time at the most affordable cost possible. What do you recommend?

[@CollegeHacked]

Great question. So with the first, there's only so much testing out of a Spanish degree you can do. And same with the second. They are both somewhat limited. So if you wanted to make this as easy as possible, I'd consider finding any old bachelor's degree as long as it's hackable and then using that to leverage you in to an MA in Spanish because I think that will be the easiest. Of course, if you'd rather be making IT money, then I'd go the other direction.

Hey, that's awesome! Congrats!

do that mba same as offline mba . can you be corportste ceo

@@dummyyy9092 becoming a CEO is more about experience and accomplishments. An MBA just gets you started on the career path to CEO.

I am finishing up at NCTC in Texas and want to attend an online college for an accounting degree. I run my own business and have a heavy work load. Is this possible?

[@CollegeHacked]

Very possible! Check out the Accounting degree options at UMPI :) No deadlines, work at your own pace.

[@missdesireindependance5194]

I will look into excelsior as an option. I was just turned off by the high out of state fee.

[@CollegeHacked]

Yeah, I'd avoid EC at this point. Like your other comment mentioned, UMPI and SNHU are both great options.

Hi. Can you please do a review of Ashworth College, Penn Foster, Martinsburg College, Columbia Southern University, California Coast University, Washington Technical Institute and an unaccredited school called Stratford Career Institute? Thanks.

[@meg_swag2406]

Best colleges for 100% online for physiology (clinic-phys preferably). I’ve been applying and I have been looking at Grand Canyon, southern new hamp., Capella university. I’m stuck on which one to do… capella is pulling my eye but the others sound good too. Working full time and kids. Please give me some insight!

[@CollegeHacked]

What is the criteria for best? :) We wouldn’t recommend a for-profit school, so out of that list: SNHU!

[@meg_swag2406]

@@CollegeHacked what is really the different between for profit and non? I mean I know they put money in different things but when it comes down to it, do most employers really care if your college was for or non? Or is it more money from my pocket type of situation?

[@CollegeHacked]

@@meg_swag2406 It's more of the latter, but the former can be true too. Employers are sometimes in-tune enough with higher ed that they know the quality of instruction is generally worse at for-profits (as with anything, that's a generalization and not true of ALL for-profits) because the money isn't going back into the students and their experience, it's going to shareholders. If you're at the beginning of this road, it's worth choosing a non-profit to be safe. If you're already at a for-profit and relatively close to finishing, you should likely finish the degree. It's still better to have a college degree than to not have one! ;)

About to get my BSHS from SNHU in just less that a year. Only had to take 9 classes

[@CollegeHacked]

Excellent!!

[@pnailiztick408apple]

Which online school would you recommend for getting a bachelors in accounting?

[@CollegeHacked]

Honestly, THAT is a really good question. I'd need to do some more digging to see which accounting degree has the most free elective requirements in their accounting degrees. I could help with that over a consultation (collegehacked.com), but you could also dig into that and figure out which ones are the most transfer friendly. I hope that helps! Just look for large free elective sections in the accounting degrees.

If I’m understanding correctly, UMPI requires a person to be 20 years old to do the online program. What online college would you recommend for a highschool student wanting a Bachelor’s degree before the age of 20?

[@CollegeHacked]

You are correct about UMPI and the age minimum! Check out Liberty Universities Dual enrollment options :)

[@penny2093]

Has anyone heard of American Sentinel University?🤷‍♀️ I am looking at this school’s nursing program.

I am really leaning into UMPI or TESU as an international student transfering some credits and hopefully going to follow your advice to end everything in one year while I work on my business. I had a question would there be an issue for doing a masters because I want to do masters after undergraduate at Australia or US ? Especially with regionally accredited is that an issue with international schools not accepting these degrees for masters / post grad. Would u recommend a "bigger name " to avoid this issue like a University of Wisconsin, Purdue global Umassdartmouth etc

Go for what fits your learning style best.

[@travisphillips2900]

Very informative video. What are your thoughts on American Public University System? The fact that they are for profit and their graduate rate concerns me.

[@CollegeHacked]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of them for exactly the two reasons you mention. There are cheaper, higher quality, less predatory ways to do school. Basically there are schools that are better in every way.

Do you specifically need an associates? Typically our clients are finishing bachelors degrees in the time someone would finish an associates, so it’s usually not faster. What’s the end goal?

Any recommendations on a good online school where my daughter in high school can take classes? Here high school will pay for the courses and give her duel credit her senior year!!

[@CollegeHacked]

Sounds like you’d benefit from a “chipotle” degree at a competency based school 😄 That’s a build your own major at a school with classes that don’t have deadlines they just have assignments and you can complete then quickly using the knowledge you have from work and life. The law enforcement stuff will transfer for a good amount of credit usually, but it won’t fit in too many majors apart from a a build your own. The right school/major depends on what your highest level goal is (personal satisfaction? certain grad program? certain job?). Plan from there! 😄
