20:34 It sounds like the pretest doesn’t eliminate work in some/all classes, I might have misspoken here! Investigating..
Can someone please explain to a European why Purdue is prestigious?
I lack the context. 3:26
For ETAMU specifically, which degree do you think is overall the easiest to hack? Organizational leadership, Human Resources or General studies?
Did you evaluate the University of Maryland Global?
My son graduated from SNHU in May, with an MA in history. His BA is from Texas Tech.
Can you please g do a video on National University? I don't see many real reviews on this school.
I wanted to enroll at PUG for my MBA degree, but they now have a minimum three term enrollment minimum and a cap on credits per term.
Decided to apply to Umass Global and I am very pleased with the program!
Coming from UMPI where I did my BLS and MAOL, I find the course pacing and format at Umass very similar to UMPI.
Do any of these schools give gpa’s when you graduate?
UMPI’s online program facing review after reports of students earning degrees in weeks
The video of best colleges looks very interesting to watch and I love it
So once I’m done with one class, I add another?
WGU is a little harder, but that's what makes it the best in my opinion!
What happened to UMass Global
Topic tags in the videos would be great.
Would love to hear your feedback about Smarter by 1 Degree.
I 'm a 50-year-old student, a 28-year veteran educator, and I am posting this to document a 5-month pattern of institutional negligence that has blocked my graduation in December 2026. I have followed every old-school rule by the book for four decades, yet I am being forced to watch a broken system stall a 15-minute manual data entry task. Here is the exact forensic history of what has transpired since day one: On a personal note, I've tenured my resignation as a student. There's nothing more I need to learn about my job and no student can or will emulate what I have gone through.
February 11, 2026: I officially initiated my graduation review process to audit my decades of academic history stretching back to my 1996 Spring and 1996 Fall semesters. Because my foundational coursework was tied to my archival Social Security Number long before modern Student ID networks existed, the modern PeopleSoft database split my identity in half.
April 7, 2026 (The Meeting Ambush): I had my first formal meeting with Registrar and Dean of Advising. The meeting was a calculated attempt to gaslight me. They yanked an incomplete, automated report out of the printer—the completely wrong paperwork template—to catch me off guard at 9:30 AM (printed at 8:05 AM without my input) to falsely claim I only had a fraction of my credits. They had the audacity to tell me that my 27 unblemished years of employment as a public education specialist 'did not align' with the Technical Studies track. When I asked about Plan B, they handed me a few sheets of paper suggesting I pursue the Early Childhood Development program, described as “only 48 more credits.” I boldly stated that I am done taking courses. I was not there as a student seeking additional classes. If the college motto is “From here, go anywhere,” then I should be allowed to walk the stage and receive what is rightfully mine, because I earned it.
April 16, 2026: Following that ambush, I compiled a comprehensive 43-page forensic evidence binder detailing my 95 total units and submitted it under the title 'THE REPORT: A Thirty-Year Academic Legacy and the Mandate for VCCS Intervention.' This was met with an immediate, automated out-of-office brush-off.
April 27, 2026: The campus generated a frozen, incomplete automated 'What-If' script locking my online portal at a false '19% Complete' and an inaccurate 2.290 GPA line, completely ignoring my 44-credit Technical Studies Block under VCCS Policy 2109.]
June 15, 2026 (The Paperwork Trap): Following a formal legislative inquiry from a sitting Virginia State Senator's office, Registrar Nicole Wilson sent a defensive email at 4:54 PM claiming federal privacy rules blocked them from speaking to the Senator without a brand-new electronic release form June 16, 2026: I immediately completed the electronic document. My official student inbox holds the automated receipt proving the electronic FERPA Release Form was fully processed and FULLY APPROVED on this exact day. The local campus has possessed complete legal authorization to merge my records and verify my credits for 39 straight days. They chose to sit on it.
July 5, 2026: I officially submitted my formal Summer 2026 Graduation Application.
July 23, 2026 (3:21:54 PM): Under mounting pressure, a human technician finally opened my student profile and refreshed the calculation. The new report explicitly proves they changed my Academic Plan to Technical Studies and opened my 2026 Fall Semester block (08/01/2026 to 11/30/2026) to serve as the data bucket for my credits. Yet, they knowingly closed the screen leaving my progress line stuck at 19% Complete. To expose the absolute truth of how they responded to my records, here is the official context of the formal complaint ledger I have submitted for executive review: 'Program 718 explicitly allows credit for training, work experience, collegiate coursework, certificates, internships, independent study, and apprenticeship credit. Nowhere in the catalog does it restrict which type of professional experience qualifies. My 27+ years as a Teacher Assistant, combined with validated coursework and certifications, clearly meet these requirements. Despite this, the system record reflects only a fraction of my earned work, and no full manual audit of my legacy credits has ever been conducted.
Throughout this entire pursuit, no one has ever asked for or verified my SSN, which means the system cannot fully or accurately track my legacy credits. Additionally, some developmental courses I successfully completed are being ignored, which directly contradicts Program 718’s intent. I have observed multiple inconsistencies within the system itself: · My academic progress percentage dropped from 20% to 19% within 24–48 hours of my meeting. The number of credits reflected in the system has been inconsistent and fluctuates daily (showing 95 credits at one point, then dropping to 28 credits). All documentation I have been provided thus far has been printed on paper, and I have not been allowed to view any of the working records or calculations on the live system. During my meeting, I was told directly that “we just cannot give you a degree based on experience.” This statement flatly contradicts Program 718 guidelines, which explicitly allow credit for professional experience, certificates, and documented training.
Failure has played a huge role in my life, and it feels as if it is happening again. It seems nobody wanted to help me achieve my goals—they wanted me to follow what they wanted me to do. 'While TCC plays these lazy database games, the University of Virginia just publicly celebrated an 80-year-old grandmother graduating with her degree, proving that real institutions honor lifelong learning and senior academic legacies. Yet, a highly paid local community college administration cannot figure out how to guide text files across a screen for a 28-year veteran educator of the local school division
In the five months they have spent stalling this file, a Navy crew of 5,000 sailors can deploy a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier out of Norfolk, navigate international oceans, launch over 5,000 flight sorties, and return safely to port. I return to work on August 18, 2026, and my hard line in the sand for this database to be manually corrected is Monday, August 10. If that date passes in silence, this entire ledger escalates to a formal legislative grievance in Richmond to override this local campus gridlock. If you are a non-traditional student, a veteran, or a public servant in Virginia or anywhere who went back to finish your degree only to find your legacy credits swallowed by a modern database upgrade, drop a comment below. I know for a fact I am not the only one trapped behind this digital wall, and we need to document how widespread this systemic negligence truly is.
I truly believe I have legacy credits. If anyone has or had similar issues and was successful with their degree, PLEASE give me feedback.
Much appreciated!!!!!
WGU accepts Canadian resident.
I went to SNHU and WGU. SNHU would have been great if there weren’t so many discussions along with the projects/work. I couldn’t keep up every week. WGU was also great, but the proctored exams gave me too much anxiety. They also are really pushy and call or email all the time.
Question: Do I need to complete an associates degree first in order to get a Bachelors degree?
I do BYU-Pathway worldwide and it is a very affordable and flexible. A very nice program for learners.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!!!
Such a helpful list! BYU-Pathway is another great option for affordable online degree programs for working adults. With low cost accredited degrees and flexible support, you can complete your education while working full time.
I always mention BYU-Pathway not because I just go to school there, but rather due to the benefits I get in tuition and affordable education. They also help learners grow spiritually.
I think you may have broken UMPI. I was accepted and sent all my transcripts back in March and they still haven’t processed my transfer credits. I keep checking everyday and they just reply that they are behind and will be done soon.
Interesting approach. I’m studying with BYU-Pathway Worldwide, and I’ve found that affordable options and a clear plan can make a huge difference when working toward a degree.
Could'nt help but notice you mention that WGU isn't open to international students, I'm from Canada and they mentioned I must use WES to have credits transferred if I'm Canadian. I also seen some info that I could request an exemption if I didn't want my credits transferred and have my high school diploma considered instead. (Quicker & cheaper to complete those credits on Sophia rather than transferred with WES) Having a difficult time login into WGU since they implemented 2FA in order to confirm my findings.
I graduated with my BBA in Marketing at UMPI! It took me 2 years, which I’m still really proud of considering it’s a 4 year program. I probably could’ve finished even faster if I had booked a session with you guys because I ended up taking way more credits than I actually needed! I also went through IVF, pregnancy, a career change, moving into our new home, and now life with a 7 month old baby all while working as a PM in the aerospace industry. It’s definitely been a journey, and I’m so thankful for your channel and all the guidance you provide. You guys are truly out here doing the Lord’s work! Thank you so much

Great advice. Thanks! 🙏
Im a union electrician {master level} 29 years 56 ready to receive my pension and annuity starting umpi in july for buissiness /project management.
Another benefit to Liberty—if you’re military, veteran, first responder, etc., there are huge discounts. For military and vets, most programs are $250 a credit hour all the way up to the doctoral level.
Why did you say there isn't a business degree at ETAMU? There is
I graduated with two master's from Liberty. Loved my time there.
Was just accepted into ETAMU's Health Services Administration path! Managed to transfer 62 credits and have 58 to complete. Start May 11, 2026!
Very proud of my Degrees from TESU!
I have 10 classes to finish UMPI said. Could I finish faster at UMPI or ETAMU?
UMPI has been amazing. Started my MSB-Fin October 30th, 2025 and I will be finishing up next month. Lots of writing and presentations, but I prefer essays over exams.
Are there any online schools that have a good Mass Communication/Media Studies program for undergraduates that are transfer friendly?
Hi can you please tell what about top up 1 year bsc Buckinghamshire new university program with OTHM level 5 accounting and finance through study provider in UAE as compare to UMPI
Can you do a best colleges for STEM degrees online for future scientists video? I think I saw one a long time ago, but I can't find it. It might have been someone else's channel.
i have a question for you who got the phd at liberty? is a whole second level of scholarship demanded ; in terms of biblical/christion; apolegitics? ( sp? ) in addition to the regular research; do you have to do bible references for the courses as well?
Glad to have found you and your videos. Just decided to transfer most of all credits from Community College to UMPI for my bachelors in business for supply chain management and I am eager to see how it goes.
