- Guys, I can't say enough how impressed I am with Shannon and his dedication to finishing his Sophia! He used free downloads, discount codes, and an amazing work ethic to spend almost nothing on his Sophia courses, and you can do the same! Check out this video to find out how!

I love it. I took 96 Sophia Credits (32 classes) in roughly 2 months. I went to UMPI and finished my BA in 2.5 months (58 credits, biology was worth 4). I graduated with 152 credits. I had a lot of extra electives because I took everything at Sophia while waiting for UMPI to start. They didn't offer everything in the first session so I had to take a second session. 100% don't regret it. In less than 3 years I have an accredited BA from UMPI, a Master's from UMPI, and a Doctorate from Virginia University of Lynchburg. I even got my PMP during that from what I learned from UMPI and passed it my first shot. I did this while working full-time, on chemo, and recovering from a heart transplant.
Kudos!
Congratulations! You're awesome!
this is incredible, and deserves a 1 on 1 because wow!! Godbless you for being an inspiration
@Panda Angry It's possible. A bachelor's can be finished in 6 months online with other work experience. A Master's is 1-2 years, again depending on research capacity and prior overall course work. By the time you get into a Doctorate, the research and paper can take as little as a year if your coursework aligns with your job. By the time you figure out the higher Ed process most people can get through work like no one's business, it just depends on aptitude, time management, and degree field. A PhD in medicine is always going to take more time than any other field but a Master's or Bachelor's degree before becoming a licensed physician takes less time than the process to become an M.D instead of a PhD, one not really being synonymous with the other in academia of science or humanities compared to the other.
A friend did their Bachelor's degree by 18, had a Master's by 20 and did Doctorate work with all told, meant they spent 7 years in collegiate classes, pre-internet, balancing travel and work. (Obviously they skipped HS and took more college courses before they bothered choosing a Master's or PhD.) Princeton,Harvard, and Yale used to have correspondence/accelerated degree programs via mail in schooling where people would challenge courses (minimum scores for the degree field pass was 96٪ or above). The students could do most of the work in a year (usually only those with a higher literacy rate and I.Q) or more. From there, again, everything else is gravy.
Nowadays I imagine it's very doable to get a Bachelor's degree within 6 to 12 months of HS if you specialize or do more skilled trade work before leaving. A nephew did that with Cybersecurity and IT thanks to dual enrollment, summer youth internships, and a self processed penchant for computer geekery and goofing off with his friends. It's mostly focus, parental encouragement/freedom, and personal interest that drives kids through school programs at rates people don't think is "possible ". It's true that they don't study like the average student, what they do is fun or at least very interesting to them so they build craft skills contiguously and non-linearly but with a more interconnected grasp of daily usable subject matter than some of their nin-working/interned collegiate peers.
This is not to say college is useless. A good University will plot out the path some students don't know how to navigate and that's great too. All education is valuable just so long as you can articulate your skillset to someone else. You are not your degree.
@Panda Angry Exactly! I was able to apply years of working in a business environment to my studies. This made a lot of what was in my BA and MA easy for me. A lot of the concepts in my MA and BA were all about concepts I learned at work, and classes our bosses had us take.
My BA and MAs were the fastest. The Doctorate took me the longest. The first 75% of the doctorate was all business classes, basically a review of the MA/Ba stuff I already learned. They usually redo it to help people catch up. Since I didn't lose momentum I had an easy time.
Each school was an accredited state university too!
Wow that’s great to hear I’m rooting for you
I seen you can just google the answers from Sophia and pass the tests... what is the happy medium between learning but finishing quickly?
Don't Google the answers if you haven't tried to master the concepts. What time you save now will bite when you have to explain certain aspects of your degree skills and requirements to an employer. Very often, they're used to Google quality answers these days so they will challenge you based around broad but complex problem sets from a panel of experts where if you give them the "Spark Notes" i.e older school literary summary version of the skills/competencies, they won't hire you. There not looking for perfect answers but they want to understand your ability to solve complex issues that CAN'T be Googled away.
If Google is a summary search tool, how you use, organize, and build on the material is how you stand out among a sea of other applications. I can guarantee someone who did more practice problem solving while using Google to help them will do better than someone who copy pasted their answer.
Add to that most college replacement classes have an anti-plagerism program built in, you run the risk in certain proctered tests (AP,WGU,Saylor, CLEP, ect) of having your test score revoked. Then, your out $100 dollars between test fees and materials and have to wait to take it again. Computers AND people are good at pattern recognition for answers that sound too technical or too similar to certain questions that they know has a "Google cheat answer". Cheating only saves time when you don't get caught and even then, if enough people pass, they will get suspicious based on some of their data modeling and monitoring to rewrite questions in such a way that they can't be bypassed via Google.
If yo ever found the answer let me know
I don’t think anyone should look for a happy medium between looking up the answer and actually learning the material to pass the course. Even though Sophia is only $99 a month, you’re still paying for a product/service which is the information and certification that you learned it. If you Google the answers you probably will not remember them and it will show later down the road of your educational journey, or worse, in your career. You would only be cheating yourself and setting the stage for frustration and embarrassment at some point in the future.
I just completed 12 courses in 4 days. Not a bad route to take.
Killing the game!! Keep it up 😎
This is insane congratz. I wish I had a good approach for calculus since I wanted to do computer science
Which courses did you take?
How do you manage your time ?
How small this courses are 🤣🤣
I just started my first Sophia course on Friday. I finished last night. A little over 36 hours. So glad I was referred by UMGC to do this.
This is exactly where I'm at in my career. I need to get by BA as soon as possible. I'm so thankful to have found this channel. I have learned a lot
Sophia courses offer coupons that many can take advantage to finish their degree. 36 credit is a good bit.
Yes, Miss desire Independence, that is correct...I took advantage of 2 discounts, Month 1/25% and Month 2/20% savings. I am in the opinion, that since I spent 1-2 months in "Trial" mode, doing Course/Unit/Challenge 1's for FREE, that possibly Sophia sent me discounts to entice me to actually "register/pay", which I did...twice. And just too clarify, 36 Courses (not credits)....over 2 months...36 Courses = 105 Credits total achieved.
I completed 42 credits in 2 1/2 month. Not all of them were easy.
Excellent work! 👏🏼
I just finished my first Sophia course, Art History, in one day. As well as the entire Environmental Science material with just the milestones left that I'll do tomorrow. It's awesome!
Hello pls help
Aside this 2 courses which others did you find easy??
@karlvykendra7251 it's going to be different for everyone, but this is what I found easiest to hardest.
Environmental science
Intro to business
Intro to ethics
Spanish (5 Touchstones)
Art history
Human biology
Biology lab (not difficult but annoying with touchstones)
US History 2 (Touchstones)
Calculus
Touchstones will slow you down while you await grading some take a week. Spanish took only about a day each.
Commenting for the algorithm. Great vid as usual. I hope more people find your channel and lean that they can finish school too!
Thanks on several levels!
Currently doing this. Knocked out 6 classes in 5 days. Giving myself a 2 day break and then planning to do another 6 in 6 days.
Wow!! 🤩
Did you do college algebra as one of the courses?
You’re kicking a$$ 👍
Love this guy. He has a lot of wisdom and a cool beard
Agreed!
What courses did you do?
Great advice to prestudy before paying for your subscription
Agreed!
He hacked Sophia 😊
I’m up to 10 in my first month
🥳🥳
I just finished a course in 2 days, it went by so fast I'm scared to present it to my academic advisor because he may be like "wtf".
Good thing it’s not up to him whether to accept it 😊 This process is supported and encouraged by the Department of Education, and as long as your chosen school accepts the credits via their transfer policy, you’re good 😎
😂
I’ve learned a lot from Sophia.
Man.. you're asking the right questions! Loved this. Thanks for making this interview. I learned a lot!
been mulling this over for about 4 years now lol the TEST OUT OF DEGREE METHOD... Thanks to the channel, this guy, and others. I'll be starting in October.
Welcome to the hacking family!! 🥳
Yes I tried Modern states and it’s hard to stay focused
Same
I love his story. Will you do an update interview with Shannon? I’m 51 and planning to get a 2nd bachelor degree
Sophia is a lifesaver. You can do as much as you want in the shortest time possible. For help hmu
Which degree did u do
It’s bad idea. No one can remember that much content. And looks like it’s a small course.
Really nice content 👍🏼.
Is it possible to transfer credits from courses, which you already used for a degree? So basically use credits for your current bachelors degree for another bachelor? Even though you already used these credits for graduate in your first degree?
Yep! But do plan on having to do 25% of each major you get.
I think he would be a great Manager!
based college santa.
Which Sophia courses are transferable to WGU's MBA program?
None. Sophia is not graduate level credit, it’s undergraduate credit :)
@@CollegeHacked Ok thanks!
Im looking at Sophia to get a jump start on finishing my pre-reqs.
I was at WKU in person for my BSN but had to drop out in my 3rd semester 😫
Ive been thru multiple trade schools since then, and am nationally registered certified in my field...but I need a degree to continue to progress :(
I transferred my 34 applicable BSN WKU credits to IWU, and am now using Sophia to fill in the rest of my pre reqs gaps (I have some WKU creds that do not apply to my chosen degree, so only 22 credits actually apply to my Psy Degree)
It'll save both time and money in the long run, (I'll be 40 in a few months, so time matters!) with my employer and grants filling in the rest of the fiancial obligations gap! Hoping to graduate with little to no debt!!!
Way to pivot!! 🤩🙌🏼 You got this!
Where’s the UPDATE..???❤
Smart man 🦾🦾
Good for him! Love to see this!
Great video! I wish I'd seen it before I started.
I just started today and knocked out 2 classes!
Keep it up!! 😄
I'm in the situation. He's my Motivation.
I hate touchstones
How legit are those courses, and how reputable are those online schools?
Keep watching more videos! ;) That’s what this channel is all about.
There are 2 active Course in my deshboard. I can't finished that course.. So i cant run another course also. So how can i quit a course.. Because already have 2 active courses.
I can take this course when you finish one of my current courses???
You can only be in 2 courses at the same time, so you’ll need to finish or withdraw from one to start another one!
Nice
Love it!!! ❤
Is anyone doing comp sci?
Great advice, thank you!!!
Question: how did he manage studying with his children, house chores and spouse? (Assuming, by his age) Or he didn’t have to deal with any of that?
I'll let him answer, but I will say you should check out the interview with Eric I posted a few days ago. He managed a lot of this with full time work!
He looks like he's old enough for kids to be adults and I don't see how cleaning a house and hanging with the wife would prevent studying.
if you are looking for reasons you could fail, you will find them
Nicely done
I live in Bangladesh. I am preparing to enroll in a private collage but it's 4 year long and I strongly feel this is useless. I can learn on my own way faster without the drama and extra steps in the collage and I want to study CSE. Is there a way I can speed it up within 2 or even better 1 year. Cause I've all the time I need, no responsibility and social life is needed for me that will not lead me to anywhere.
Bachelor doesn’t really matter!!! It’s your master that counts!!!
That might be true for some industries, but isn’t true for all situations :)
In education it does!
You learn nothing on Sophia. You have completed 36 classes on Sophia? I don't blame, the answers are ready online and for courses that you can complete in 1 or 2 hours. Online learning is a fraud. Is it not?
It is not. :)
I do online classes through a regular college so it's not a quick fix or easy. I put in a lot of time and work into it. I am wondering if people are learning with these Sophia courses. I don't understand how you can finish so many classes in a month.🤔
Online learning isn't a fraud. Most information we consume is online nowadays.
@@FutureSyncAI so, true. I anticipate that hybrid and online learning at colleges will become the norm. Many national universities have online classes and programs in place for many majors. 😀
Is there a list of the classes took in order.
he's also like 60 years old. a little late in life.
