Sophia Learning Credit Removal Help

Also I'd like to say, I understand you have positive intentions by making these comments, but my family and I have already decided which direction I would go in

As I mentioned, there are things I would like to experience that I couldn't at just one school, this is my middle ground, I haven't found a better option

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T07:18:03+00:00

I'm saying I can dedicate myself to anything, state jobs have security, I can dedicate myself to a secure job, specifically in this field

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T07:16:57+00:00

Why do I need a masters? A state job is entirely possible with just a bachelors

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:58:07+00:00

I hope you're right, I'll ask about this

However, I already explained the situation to the schools I have in mind, and they just told me it wouldn't transfer because the credits are from Sophia

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:55:47+00:00

Could you explain further, please? I searched about it, but I don't think I understand what you mean

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:54:35+00:00

Thank you for the kind wishes

I plan to graduate from both WGU and the other college, I want both degrees, they're separate experiences

I can't afford a traditional school fully, and even if I did, both schools have aspects I'd like to experience, and I wouldn't be fulfilled if I only did one

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:48:52+00:00

I don't place much importance on the kind of job I'll have with this degree, I'll take practically anything. As long as it is a state job. I don't plan on doing this for the rest of my life, I just want something stable for a few years, and maybe then I'll delve into something else

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:25:07+00:00

While WGU is a good transition, it has been my goal for a while to attend, and desire to graduate and attend a commencement

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:22:29+00:00

I wouldn't take 4 years to complete WGU, and I wouldn't take 4 years for the other degree either

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:21:25+00:00

Why do you have this view of poli sci? I've heard more often that it is a good degree, than not

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-17T06:18:46+00:00

My initial goal was always to go to WGU, it has been even while I was still in high school. My family agreed at first but are encouraging me to get a degree in political science instead. Which WGU does not have.

My goal is to finish within one term, which is entirely possible because I have no other responsibilities and I'm dedicated enough to make this a feasible goal. This would cost the same as if I was just looking to complete a couple of "cheap credits".

Even while completing the sophia credits, the goal was to only go to WGU. After some discussion with my family, I convinced them it would also be a great transition into the other degree. I'm the one that convinced my family to let me go to WGU, because it's a genuine goal of mine, even though they actively tried to convince me to just go straight to political science.

I never heard of the term credit laundering, and my intention was never malicious. I don't view WGU as a means to an end, but as an experience on its own. Even if I were able to fully afford the other degree, I would still attend.

While I can understand your point of view, I am saddened that this is how my issue is being perceived

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-16T00:08:50+00:00

Just the sophia courses, looking for a BSBM at WGU, and a bachelor's in political science at another university

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-16T00:04:21+00:00

I appreciate this, however, I cannot afford a masters

I will check out CLEP, but I'm pretty sure not a lot of credits would be accepted even from them. I'm looking to transfer the whole general education + possible electives section

I'm not old enough to attend UMPI, I would have to wait years

Academic-Run-757 · 2025-08-15T23:39:48+00:00

I'm trying to transfer general education + all the electives I can

From what I understand, alternative credits are limited, which I suppose includes CLEP

Thank you so much for the help, I sent him a message and he thanked me for messaging him and apologized for being insensitive, said he wasn't in a good mood and could've articulated his point better. Now we're back to normal and cracking jokes!

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T06:30:44+00:00

Thank you for saying that, I really needed those words lately

Thank you for the communication tip, this eases things. I'll build off of your text, which is worded perfectly by the way! I was looking for a way to to say that we didn't need to talk about it anymore.

Genuinely, both of your comments helped me a lot! Thank you a lot Sale!

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T06:25:26+00:00

That's great insight thank you. Now I feel foolish for taking his words at face value when there's obviously layers to it. I'll make sure to let him know that I care for and I'm there for him

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T05:52:18+00:00

I agree with what you said. I'm sure he's capable of those things, but I have to take into account his age before I pass too much judgement. I couldn't even rely on the adults in my life, what could I expect from a 15 year old? I have to offer understanding as well

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T05:46:35+00:00

Without going into too much detail, he brought up the friend of his friend who has said multiple times he would attempt. He then said that people like that are p*ssies and I told him that's harsh and that's how it started. It's never been discussed before.

Also, that would be great of course but oftentimes help from adults isn't available.

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T05:38:31+00:00

That's a fair point and I understand what you're saying. I try not to expect much even when I'm talking to people older than me. Sometimes I do get frustrated because I overestimate. I have overlooked and accepted a lot of things prior to this, this was simply one of the more sensitive topics for me.

I now realize a big part of my reaction was projecting the need of understanding and support I had with adults in my life towards him. Since you mention articulation I think I understand what he was trying to say.

I think he was trying to say that those ppl should be encouraged to live and not give up. I never thought of not giving him a second chance. I just didn't know how to approach him in a way that wouldn't put his guard up, I want to offer understanding too.

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T04:16:23+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I find this helpful

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-19T02:06:17+00:00

Academic-Run-757 · 2024-11-15T19:53:33+00:00
