    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 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.

      @mrmartywaring Před 2 lety +3

      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

    • @CollegeHacked
      @CollegeHacked  Před 2 lety +7

      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.

    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 : )

    • @CollegeHacked
      @CollegeHacked  Před 2 lety +1

      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: czcams.com/video/qOo14LpYcL8/video.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.

      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!

      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

      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.

    • @malcolmjelani3588
      @malcolmjelani3588 Před rokem +1

      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.
