High School Diploma

My wife is from Germany, RIESA to be exact. She went to a B&M college for her Associates and is not in TESC. As I recall she had some international transcript service translate her education documents for evaluation by her schools.

She is at work now, but I can have her message you later if you like?

Let me know, as she has been there and done that-

 

Yes recruitin, thanks. I wait for your mesage

By the way, you would do yourself a great favor by dropping in at www.amazon.com and buying yourself copies of Mariah Bear and Tom Nixon's _Bears Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning_ and Tom Nixon's _Bears' Guide to Earning High School Diplomas Non-Traditionally_.

 

Nice list. I looked at a lot of these before enrolling my son. I'm not sure if it matters to anyone, but some of the schools on this list are nationally accredited, not regionally. I'm not normally one to care, but depending on what you intend to do with the diploma, you may want to stay with the regional accreditation. Some are also quite expensive compared to the others.

Sorry about the two bad links (now corrected)!

 

Actually - Penn Foster is $900 for the high school program, if you pay it all up front, otherwise it is $950 or $995 (depending on your payment plan). It is $15 for an transcript evaulations.

My best friend is going through the program and I am helping, as much as is needed, so did lots of legwork in the research in what program to go with. I also have helped over the past month or so with studying and stuff. Here is my two cents:

1. They accept transfer credits - but you still have to pay for the entire program, they only waive the requirement for the classes, not the tuition associated with it. It is nice though to have some classes waived.
2. The classes are step up very well, they have 3-7 mini books for one class. With a test at the end of each. This makes it eaiser to understand smaller chuncks of material.
3. The phone and e-mail services is great, they respond within a day (most of the time within an hour) - phone is better than e-mail in my opinion. The only bad part is that customer support has nothing to do with what materials are online, and there is a disconnect - there is no one to talk to about the website, so you just have to wait for the material in the mail sometimes - which slows down the classes.
4. The online instructor help is a nice feature, they will give you feedback and even refer to page numbers in the text.
5. The website is nicely set up - easy to see what has been sent, what payments are due, online exams, online study materials.
6. The grading curve is higher than most typical classes. For example, a 91 is a B, not an A. It is not a huge problem, but just be ready to real ace material to get that A.
7. They do an intro class up front and "test" on how their website works, how the program works, how to get help, etc. This seemed corny to me at first, but has really helped to know how to get information now. It really made good sense.
8. There are very easy classes up front, but as you go, the material is harder. There are a bunch o f English classes required - the first is super easy, what is a noun, etc. But you need that as the foundation for the writing portion of the next class. Set up very chonological....

That is the good and the bad so far... I can't think of anything else, if there are any particular questions, please feel free to ask, I have a source that can answer, and some things I know too.

 

Ok, I'll forward this thread to her.

Good luck,

 

Hello Isabella!
What do you want to do with the Associate Degree in Business Management? Do you want to use it in Germany? This point is important!

mintaru

 

Yes, I want to use in Germany. Is any problem?

 

The Associate's degree is not well known in Germany.

Yes, there is a problem!
It's the utility of an Associate's degree on the German job market! This degree, or something comparable, is unknown in the German higher education system. Therefore it's also unknown to very most German employers and that's really a major disadvantage for you if you need a new job. An American Bachelor's degree is much more recognized! I suggest you should go on after the Associate's degree to get also a Bachelor's degree.

Ok, here goes, allow me to paste this note from my "sent box":


Germany!!
Sprichst Du Deutsch? Ich nehme mal an, dass Du deutsch redest. Ok, hier ist was ich damals gemacht habe, als ich in die USA kam. Ich hatte einen 12-Jahres Abschluss in Deutschland und bin gleich am College angenommen worden (fuer ein Associates) aber die wollen sehen, dass Du einen gewissen Geldbetrag auf dem Konto hast (weiss nicht wie das fuer online learning ist) Da brauchst Du vielleicht gar kein mindest Geldbetrag. Aber mit zehn Jahresabschluss in Deutschland (oder Rumanien) koenntest Du gleich mit einem Associates anfangen. Wer hat Dir gesagt, dass Du ein High School Diploma brauchst? Auf's College bin ich gekommen, mit einer Uebersetzung von einer Amerikanischen Uebersetzungfirma (gehe zu yellowpages.com und guck translators nach, rufe an oder email denen, ob die High School diplomas uebersetzen (dein 10-Jahres abschluss gilt als High School Diploma hier)) Sende es denen, mich hat es damals 80Dollars gekostet. Das brauchst Du fuers College.
Emaile mir doch einfach mit Fragen:

Bis dahin
