I love the question of “Does the name of the University matter in the work force” I cannot speak for all but I believe ABSOLUTELY not. Which is why I am here and working on a college hackable degree. I work in corporate office of Daimler (Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner) who has tons of employees with the most prestigious fancy degrees and certifications and they still hire people of online degrees. I don’t even have a bachelors and beat my competitors in my new role that had prestigious degrees and certifications. It still boils down to experience, engagement, your charismatic personality. Mastering STAR method interviews are your best selling points as long as you have the qualifications. I also worked in HR before and have been on these interview panels and witnessed it first hand. & Lauren your response was perfect!
Let me make sure I say this, if it’s degrees with University of Phoenix type of schools - they do tend to frown at those. ✋🏼
You need a megaphone, because you NAILED that! So nice to hear from someone watching this concept unfold first hand who can confirm what we’re saying. :) Glad you found us, and aren’t spending more time/money than necessary to get the degree you need 😄 And also, way to beat out people with more credentials on paper, that’s awesome. 😎 -Lauren
@@CollegeHacked exactly, when I started seeing it more and more… I’m like okay I need to see what competency based online school options I have without having to spend a lot of money. Not only that my director has me on a career path and said the only thing stopping me from moving up was a Bachelor’s… good thing I don’t have to sacrifice a lot of time and resources doing so with an already busy schedule. When I discovered your channel I got more than what I was hoping for! Never knew there was a way to hack a degree and I wouldn’t have discovered a great school like UMPI without yall.
Sorry for all the gibberish, Im just excited and beyond grateful!😁
@@beccastone101 We are always down for happy gibberish!! 🤩 Making a college degree accessible and reasonable is something we are really passionate about, so we are HYPED to hear that you're excited too! We are cheering for you!! 🥳
Great work thank you guys for your excellent explanation
Thanks for watching! 😁
It’s not that it’s a Christian University that’s problematic for many - it’s that it’s Evangelical. Catholic colleges like Notre Dame don’t have the “too Christian” problem. It’s too bad, because Liberty has such a great and flexible online program!
This is a good point!
Evangelical Christians are literally funding a genocide in Palestine, there's no way anyone with humanity would enroll there.
That’s because Catholics have very little sense of conviction.
I’m honored that you both liked my question :)
Haha good! We got a kick out of it 😎
Hi, my favorite people. I'm just showing you guys love, support, and respect. People listen to what they say! They are the truth!!
You are too awesome 😁 Thank you for all your support, you’re a hacking legend 😄
That was a good CS / SE comparison!
Thank you!! I appreciate that, now I feel less anxious 😂😜 -Lauren
Hi! Love all of your videos, I've learned SO MUCH! My dream job is to become an equine assisted psychotherapist/psychologist. I'm finally starting on my path to this dream as my children are older now. My goal is to graduate with a degree before they do, so college hacking is right up my alley. One of them is already in university so I'm sweating here, haha. Help me out, College Hacked!
This is my mum! I'm so proud of her for pursuing her dreams to be a psychologist! Can't wait to attend her graduation, she definitely deserves it! :)
My wife, but also my best friend. So incredibly proud of her for working towards her dream job!
@lion-in-the-lake, you are the raffle winner!!! Can you email Dr. Lauren Daly at lauren@collegehacked.com to get your appointment scheduled?
@@CollegeHacked wow!! Thank you so much! Yes I will email Lauren right away! I'm so excited! 😄
I thought that my dream job was programming. It is fun, but I've learned from the college courses that it might not be for me. Instead, I'm switching into Accounting. I love financial conversations and wish more people could be helped from those who are financially saavy.
I went to ITT also and i can comfim American Military University took my credits. American public university js their non military side and jm sure they would take the credits also.
I'm glad you included that question about Liberty University. I'm also atheist and like some of the things about Liberty, but dislike the forcing of Christianity on its students.
It's good to make it a clearer choice for us non-religious folks to avoid Liberty University if we don't want to perpetuate this exclusionary philosophy.
Thank you!
A large majority of secular schools force indoctrinate secular humanism upon their students by requiring courses laced with their atheistic world view. This is especially offensive because they almost universally hide their misconduct whereas Christian schools are very open about their doctrine and code of conduct.
Just joined umpi, going thru enrollment right now. Still completing Sophia courses. Can I transfer the credits before the semester starts in May?
Yes
Not sure if you’re asking if they’ll get it done before then (because there are 6-8 week wait times for credit evals there right now), or if you’re asking if it’s a good idea to do the hacking and transferring first. But to the first one: hopefully! To the second, definitely :)
Great video. How receptive is Columbia Southern to nontraditional transfer credit like Sophia or Straighterline? Are they better than GCU?
Sophia is American Council on Education credit ACE
It has pretty good transfer charts! Looks fairly hackable at a glance. It’s on the list for a video :)
Dream Job: Mental health. I write for a podcast that's become about psychology because my employer doesn't have the heart to stifle my interests. I've won a few national writing awards, hold a P.I. license, and have earned 60 creds on Sophia (thanks CH!). I'm super stoked, but my accolades might as well be a rummage sale in the eyes of my old community college. 😅
Hi how did you get a P.I license? You mean Psychology right? Please guide me
@@fuilik1 my mistake, I should have clarified. I got my *Private Investigators license before I started down the path of Psychology and trying to get college credits again
You Guys have been a Life saver! After 3 months I have 84 credits for my business admin degree. Now I'm Pushing for either SnHu or Umpi to finish up. Which is cheaper? and whats the work load like on 13 classes? is it possible in 1 semester?
Amazing work! 🥳 Glad to help! 😄 SNHU is not competency based (their classes run 8 weeks in length even if you get all the work done on day 1), and usually costs about $11k and takes at least 6 months-10 months if you don’t get your appeals to take more than 2 classes in a term granted after your first term.
UMPI tends to cost about $5,500 and the 10 classes-if planned strategically and executed on with ALL the hours in your life-can potentially be completed in 8 weeks 😜
@@rickyrixx If only there weren't so much space between what should be and what is 😅
I've been looking for you! I know you're no longer the Pop Song Professor, but TOP is back!!! The Clique misses you. Come back just for Clancy, please❤💛
Sorry if i bothered you! l-/
I’m thinking about it and listening to the song. Stay tuned.
Hey how about you finish those 5 videos on pop song professor to talk about the new TOP era!
They already explained themselves, what do you need me for? 😉
I’m offended that UPenn didn’t pop into your mind! C/o ‘94
My dream job is Mental Health Counselor in private practice. Because I have a passion for it.
Thoughts on Arizona Online or Arizona Global?
Neither of those are complete school names, not sure which ones you mean!
Any thoughts on grad psych programs at SNHU or UAGC? Will SNHU accept Sophia for foundational courses? Would a PsyD at UAGC be respected at all? Thanks for all you do!!
Yes, SNHU accepts Sophia courses for their general education requirements (some study.com is needed too). Terminal degrees are interesting, because whether they are reputable from a certain school all depends on the community you’re using the degree in. If you go to Harvard to teach, they probably won’t enjoy a degree from UAGC too much. Most other places? Doubt they’d write off the brand name, I think it would be more about your curriculum and dissertation.
Dream job would definitely be running a Non-Profit that takes bright kids and/or troubled kids out on a large research vessel to study whales and migration patterns. Changing their lives while also making a positive impact for cetaceans worldwide. I already work with kids but scaling it up like this would be incredible.
I'm Malcom's friend and I think college hacking is awesome! I think that's such a good idea to. I've seen him working with children he's a great teacher.
What about Davenport University? They have the major I want which is Accounting Fraud Investigation.
They are at least somewhat hackable :) They take CLEPs and DSSTs, though it doesn’t look like they accept Sophia and Study.com
I'm graduating from a non credited Bible College, at least the evening part. Would Liberty even consider any classes I've taken like Bibical World View?
There are actually a number of unaccredited Bible colleges on a special approved for transfer list LUO has 😄 What was the school?
Some type of C level executive, I've always liked to be knowledgeable and lead others. Always seemed like a good fit for me.
I’m willing to be this person’s friend.
P.S. When you make it big and need to hire a software engineer, please remember this moment. I’ll have my resume ready.
🤣👏🏼
6:28 Once I got a *degree* using my hacked credits, then every subsequent institution saw my credits as regular college credits in the given topic/area, and would consider them as such for the degrees I pursued after that : )
You got very lucky!
What school did you did you go to?
Dream job, to work in tech remotely and not have worry about my family future 😊
same buddy ol' pal 😉
My dream job is to be an Attorney, growing up in new york everyone gets stuck in the cycle of going to CUNY (city) schools because it's what's affordable however not many graduate due to the long tradition approach of 4 month semensters and lack of advisement. Persuing law without advisement has been discouraging financially and academically but since finding the college hacked community I've been able to transfer to Umpi. Umpi is also sister schools with Maine Law so I'm taking the college hacked road all the way to Law school hopefully because they have a 3+3 program. I would love to receive the 1-on-1 advisement because I've wasted so much time already and I know my journey is long, I just want to make sure I'm finally on the best and quickest path to get to where I want to be. I know this journey will not be easy but it definetly seems even more obtainble as I plan to finish my undergrad this year and hopefully start law school as early as next year!
Congrats! Your journey is not long because you have shortened the path so keep moving until you reach the finish line. When you graduate share it with all of US. We need to inspire each other because that is what life is all about.
Is Bits Pilani Bachelor in CS degree in coursera worth considering for whom who want to go to CS field and dont have an CS degree ?
I’m not familiar with it, but will say the value in tech is almost always what you can do rather than what you have on paper. Sometimes jobs require a degree, but they Always require skills. If that program teaches you skills, then it’s probably a good learning tool. If you’re wanting it to accomplish another purpose (stand-in as a degree), it may not do that.
Hi Clifford. My friend is trying to get Financial Aid from UMPI but he has a school that is closed down but it's on his previous associates degree transcript when it was active. Now they don't want to release the FA until he gets that transcript even though it can't be used they want it for some sort of regulation that they stated by phone. What can he do to get this problem solved? He tried to get through the comission of independent education and they still have not sent it. You are familiar with UMPI so I would really appreciate your advice.
If the school is in the US, the Department of Education could have a record :)
I was a Philosophy major (Ba of Phil) a while back at a brick and mortar uni w/ about 80~ credits. Now I wanna get a comp sci degree and don’t know if it would be better to go to TESU (bc of theirs being a Ba) would do you all think?
I kinda have been all in on WGU but w your videos now I see so many options
The only downside to WGU for you is them not having free elective space for you, but they’d be great for the CS education. But doing a credit eval at SNHU and TESU would be a good way to see your other options :) Both have free elective space so you won’t need quite so many classes. TESU is more hackable. BS vs BA won’t really change much for you in this circumstance so all doors are open 😎
@CollegeHacked THANKS!!! Quick and awesome info-- applied to TESU and am looking into SNHU now. love the channel 💙
When ITT went bust 2016, I did a video on how you could save your national accredited units to Regionally accredited units. In other words laundry the lower quality ITT units to higher quality units.
Interesting. Did you hear back from anyone who had a problem down the road because they did that, or did things generally pan out ok?
@@CollegeHacked I'd have to check, I did a video with all the suggestions in the video.
My son started Western Oregon University last fall. The recruiting team and the advisors primised him all kinds of scholorship and grant money. When the term was coming to a close around christmas, all those promises fell through the floor. He moved back home owing $8,000.00. He has a job and is working on paying that off. The problem he's having is he wants to be a psychologist. That's a very specific and narrow field. How "hackable" is that?
VERY hackable! 😄 And that’s a field where he’s going to need advanced degrees, which makes the bachelors even less of a big deal (the meaningful part will be the masters/terminal degree). He should start by finding grad schools he is interested in attending. He can check their admissions requirements to make sure they won’t want something a hacked degree won’t offer. But 9 times out of 10 there’s no issue. He can complete a BA in Psychology through UMPI and their YourPace programs for $5,500 total. :) Happy to help if you guys need it, you can book at CollegeHacked.com!
@CollegeHacked thank you so much. I found your channel last week, went to the oldest video and am working my way up. You and your cohost are amazing. I actually found out about CLEP exams by asking ChatGPT4 if there was a way to test out of some courses. I followed the CLEP search on CZcams and found you. Don't know if that helps with keyword recognition in the algorithm but that's how I got here. Thanks again.
DREAM JOB:. Work in international affairs and diplomacy especially in the social justice and equity. Love your work! Been watching for awhile. It's been inspiring and I'm now pursuing a BA liberal arts-mgmt at UMPI, Hacking my way to prep for it via Sophia, saylor and study. Afterwards I want to get my masters online in international affairs with a specialty in the middle east. For my BA though, there is a second language requirement but only Spanish or french. I would like to rather learn basic Arabic instead. How would you recommend I approach umpi in advance for my transferring Arabic courses in lieu of those languages they offer?
French is a diplomacy language and most people in the IA field tend to picking up atleast an extra language working on the ground.
How come you were using Sophia sailor and study wouldn’t one of them be enough?
@@harryofbc-gz6tc Yes you're right. I am sure they would, however, I am choosing classes that would qualify but also that I actually have an interest in, and would help me later.
@@loa324 Yes, I agree, however, with my focus in Middle Eastern studies, Arabic will be better suited than French for my future roles.
In addition to Columbia southern, another for-profit that would make for a fun video would be California Coast University; on the face, it appears to be the cheapest for-profit I have ever seen.
Looks like it is only nationally accredited, that might be why!
Thoughs on ECPI University?
There are better schools :)
How many clep are can you take at once?
They are proctored, so only one at a time!
I know this video is 12 days old but it doesn’t hurt to ask anyways. So my question is; SNHU vs. UMGC vs. LUO vs. ASU, which school has the best curriculum for Business Administration? My main concern is picking the school with the best quality curriculum/education. Don’t think I’ve ever seen you talk about this aspect.
We don’t talk too much about prestige because we focus on getting people the best bang for their buck. Some people want to learn a ton in their degree, and some people have been working in their industry for 20+ years and could write the classes in a degree focused on their area of expertise :) They don’t need to learn nearly as much as they need the piece of paper. Different strokes for different folks! Out of that list, ASU is going to be the best quality and the least hackable (two things which often go together).
So I graduated HS overseas. I have 30 Sophia credits, can I enroll in WGU using my Sophia credits only or will they ask for my HS diploma too
BTW: My dream job is to be able to help immigrants with their documents and applications. Not a specific title.
That’s a very good plan I’m not sure about WG you because there is no campus you cannot get a student visa to attend
They will ask for high school!
I need a help
My Dream Job is to be a software engineer at a FAANG company Why? Because it pays the big bucks.
According to your course exprosmetly 6000$ spend in degree it's fine for united state and any other development country but it's not possible to any Third world country becouse it's so expensive imagine more than 100% expensive in his country education education 😢
💚
We miss you!
My dream job is to be a venture capitalist here in Africa. I want to fund people's businesses and help them grow so they can create more employment and improve peoples lives.
My dream job is building robots in china or programming automation software. What will I actually do be a teacher 😅.
If you obtain a TEFL certificate you can easily find teaching jobs in China
@uncajoe92
I have my dream job as a commercial real estate appraiser.
I'd like to finish my bachelor's degree (30+ years in the making) which would enable me more opportunities, since it appears to be needed even for lateral moves in the workplace.
Thank you for your consideration.
Stumbled onto this channel this weekend - great content!
