- Sophia courses are legendary for being some of the fastest-to-earn college credits out there, but how fast is fast? Today, I'm going to find out for myself and report to you.
Note: As at least one helpful person has pointed out, the Sophia course I took is only rated by Sophia for one college credit. Please excuse me if I refer to it as 3 credits in the video. Thank you for the correction!

I did 43 credits with Sophia within a month. I am so grateful to Sophia. Fast accleration to your degrees with no DEBT!
Do you already have to be enrolled in a college before taking these?
@@Bea_Strong no you don't have to be with a college. You can look up the degree you want and look at the classes and make sure Sophia will partner with the school of your choice. But it's good to be enrolled because you can see what will transfer over to your school and if the classes are a matching equivalent to your degree program. You can give them a call for further info. But they help me achieve my bachelors fast because I did the balance of my courses on their platform and graduated, and I only had to take a capstone course with my school and I was finished. Many people do all their credits on the outside and transfer them in so they can graduate quickly.
After earn Credits what is your major and how many credits you transfer your new college? What is you college name?
@talkwithalana7489 that's my end goal - unfortunately I did my BA in my country back in 2003. So I want to do undergrad credits as quickly as possible to ultimately enter Law school. That's my dream
@@cayetano6547go to UMPI 1500USD for a BA. They are so good I am doing my masters with them right now.
Sophia is awesome!! I earned 98 credits in just over six months from Sophia, the credits along with CIS-194 from ASU satisfied the AAS requirements from Pierpont Community and Technical College. These courses along with BIO 101L from Study satisfied all the general education requirements for UMPI as well as many elective options. I transferred 90 credits in that applied towards a degree program. I start with UMPI in the next term. Without Sophia any college would not have even been on my radar let alone attainable.
How come you did not choose ASU ? Its a amazing university.
@@eb4676Cost and time commitment. UMPI was cheaper and fit my schedule. I completed 30 credits for graduation in under eight weeks.
Sir, can you please share the list of the courses . Thanks in advance
Congrats and it did the same for me and I am so grateful to them.
@@sulemanashraf8945 Are you asking for the list UMPI courses I completed?
Correction: As at least two helpful people have pointed out, the Sophia course I took is only rated by Sophia for one college credit. Please excuse me if I refer to it as 3 credits in the video. Some colleges might still take it for 3 credits, but this is a goof on my part. Thank you for the correction!
I love your videos. You're an unsung hero! Under your direction, I was able to transfer 81 credits into my degree program. I completed the courses (27 of them to be exact) across the span of two months. I think that's pretty impressive.
Amazing stuff, Aaron! Great work!
After earn Credits what is your major and how many credits you transfer your new college? What is you college name?
Turning a 4-year degree into a 1 month college experience, lol 😂
Facts that’s good shit for people who want it
😂
@@Hanger5ent_officialis it really acheivable ?
Facts 🤣👏👏👏🥹
@@ProGamER__801 6-9 Months is more reasonable, but that’s only if you really grind
I just knocked out a couple of classes on Sophia, 9 credits in a matter of 6 days. I work a boring part time night job which allowed me to do the classes while working.
Brb bouta get a degree in 6 months. Thx for this 🙏
Did you end up doing this
hahahha😆
how did it go? 💀
I managed to take Intro to Web Development in less than 30 minutes and Intro to IT in less than an hour, since I had experience in both of these subjects and didn’t even really have to do any reading. In total I’ve taken 16 classes and though Sophia, but it was over probably three months. English Composition 2 took me the longest due to waiting on assignments to be graded.
This is amazing. I'm going to make a Short about this.
I did intro to IT in a couple of days and that’s ONLY because it was something new to me, and I definitely took my sweet pretty time, lol. Note that I’m done, I know I could have finished that class in like two days. However, I’m not mad at it, I want to learn particular things.
My wife earned over 40 credits in a month.
I must say thank you for your videos, I was stuck trying to graduate with many GE credits that I had to take, and my school is pretty expensive; after I watched your video, I started with Sophia, and now I have submitted my first 9 credits in two weeks, and I have almost done with two more that are worth 6 more credits, if I finish this week I would have done 15 credits in 3 weeks! These Sophia credits are outstanding!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!!
That's amazing work! You're awesome!
I've got 3 more classes to complete on Sophia before moving to study and then WGU.
3:40 that is true for all of the courses. I’ve taken 15 sophia classes in 2 and a half months and every one is like that
Sir, this just made my day. I am looking into an aviation maintenance management degree with liberty as I already have my A&P certificate but was not sure how I could make the time to complete all of the courses that I need, much less afford them. I believe this will help me tremendously. Thanks!
If you use Sophia for a month or two and cancel your subscription can you still transfer your credit after that ?
A lot of the stuff in the leadership/management related courses on Sophia was covered in my Quality Driven Management training at FedEx.
All managers and admins go through QDM once per year so I breezed through those courses without much difficulty
Nice! 👏🏼
@@CollegeHacked FedEx Ground has decent tuition benefits too. I think even part time package handlers are eligible for a few thousand per calendar year now
@@DanielJPaczok Awesome info! Are they still pretty competitive to snag a job with?
@@CollegeHacked depends on your area but they usually have a big hiring push as it gets closer to Christmas.
This just reaffirms that the current college system is a scam 😂😂😂😂 and those core course are needed. Im taking my basic here ...
Just started one course and finish Saturday.
Can you do a video rating Northern Arizona University. They offer self paced bachelors.
I made a spreadsheet of each course. How many milestones, and how many touchstones. I avoided touchstones as much as possible as it's the holidays, so grading would be slower and it would slow me down in general.
I avoided Math (it's my kryptonite) and focused on the career, humanity and history courses.
When you sign up, have a plan and stick with it! If a class ends up more difficult than expected. Drop it temporarily and focus on the next course. Check out the syllabus for each class.
Just some of my pointers for those interested. Thanks for the shout out Doc!
Can you share the spreadsheet?
Thanks for sharing the tips.😀
Thanks a lot
Could you send the spreadsheet?
The only problem I found out about Sophia is that colleges such as mine (Colorado state university) can be very picky about what you can or can’t retain. Unfortunately for me I was only able to get 19 credits. However if I could get more I definitely would go here.
Yes, we have a list of 7 or so schools we talk about a lot for this reason.
@ have you found the solutions to these “picky” colleges? I would like to earn more credits while I’m overseas
I did 30 credits from sophia in 5 days ...
Which one offers credits by watching only videos and taking quizzes?
English was play. But it’s taking forever for them to grade my papers.
Do you know if you can take Sophia courses while you’re enrolled in the university of phoenix and if possible how many credits transfer?
You should ask your school. You don’t want to do any classes that will not apply to the degree program ur enrolled in. Always look at your advisement report to see what Sophia classes will satisfy the required classes that u still need to complete.
Question. If my daughter took around 60 credits on Sofia and went to Liberty University for her Junior year, could she then transfer her senior year to a University that does'nt take sofia credits like Belmont U here in Nashville. As a senior within a major?
Technically that’s called credit laundering 😜 And it’s always possible the credits might be accepted by accident that way, but in general that doesn’t usually work because transcripts are divided by school and Sophia shows up as “Sophia Inc” :)
As a different option,
Suppose you Graduate
UMPI,
With 90 Sophia credits,
Can you then get a 2nd Bachelors degree,
At a different college,
Using 90 credits from UMPI?
If you don't pass the final on Sophia and you retake it. Is it the same test.
No
So if you’re 45 years old and have a PhD or years of experience, which includes pleasure reading, you can pass a college course made for 17 year olds. Not dogging anyone I’m just saying this is more of a feat for someone right out of high school and someone over 30. The reason people can fly through college so quickly is because you accumulate much of the knowledge in life.
You nailed it! Very well said :) And this is also the reason hacking shouldn’t be so frowned upon just because it can be fast.
Started 4 days ago and have so far got 12 credits.
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
With Sophia if you take more than two courses a month you get hit with $70 per course. This includes three credit and one credit courses, such as labs.
This means if you took four courses in a month it would cost you $240 while if you took two courses a month for two months it would cost you $200 and add $70 per course and the cost just keeps going up.
Is this correct? Am I understanding this rightly?
Correct except what you described is Study.com, not Sophia :) You pay $235 for the first 2 courses then $70 a course after that until you hit the max of 5 in a month. So a total of $445 for 5 classes in one month on Study.
I have a question and I’m very worried about I have read and was told that WGU won’t except Sophia credits anymore what’s gonna happen there?
We’ve talked to many of their admins and they’ve told us no changes are planned :) Operate as normal until there is official word. We’ve been doing this many years and people are always worried things will change, they rarely do :)
I see thank you for getting back to me so quickly thanks to you. I have 58 college credit so far I was just worried because I seen videos in the last week. People saying WGU won’t except a lot of Sophia‘s courses anymore, and it just got me very worried, but thank you for clearing it up
I didn’t know this even existed 😮
Happy to help!
Is there an exhaustive list of which schools' specific courses accept Sophia (and which courses)? I'm wanting to go to Oakland Community College, but I have no idea what's gonna transfer over
Community colleges rarely accept Sophia, but you can Google “Oakland Community College transfer policies” to find out! If the info isn’t clearly stated, contact the registrar to inquire. Sophia is ACE accredited, just like CLEP exams, which they are likely to accept already. I would point that out if needed to try and justify why you’re not requesting something truly crazy.
7 credits in a day and a half. Accredited to the university in attending
Does Sophia offer GPA as well or even let’s say I get college credits but not GPA then how can I earn GPA as well ?
You’ll have to transfer your Sophia credits into a university to graduate :) And the university is where you get your GPA
I did 10 courses in 8 days
Does CBU Riverside take Sophia courses? Or Chapman University? Please help me which universities take Sophia courses credit for a BA in psychology.
I don't think so.
You can call and ask Sophia
I love Sophia Learning
can u pls do a video on college hacks for international students
Step 1: Sign up for Sophia Learning The cost is $99 per month or less if you buy in a bundle.
Step 2: Choose a course The video recommends choosing a course that aligns with your existing knowledge or interests to make it easier to complete quickly. For example, the TH-camr chose a course called "Developing Effective Teams" because he has experience in the workplace and has taught college courses on communication.
Step 3: Work through the course material Each course includes videos, textbooks, readings, quizzes, tests, and assignments.
Step 4: Take the quizzes and tests You can retake quizzes and tests multiple times to improve your grade. The quizzes and tests are open book, so you can refer to the course material while taking them.
Step 5: Earn college credit Once you successfully complete a course, Sophia Learning will send your transcript to your college or university for credit evaluation.
Thank u for experience, I really like and inspiring by your videos. But here would like to pay attention to credit hours given for course. Developing effective teams is 1 credit course. This type of courses really very fast, much faster that full 3 credit courses.
Yes, you're right! I had someone else comment that, so I changed my title and added a note to the description. Hopefully that helps! But I definitely did goof here.
Does anyone know if Thomas Edison has stopped accepting Sophia credits?
I think they still accept them but they're not open about it.
Do you know any learning platform like sophia that counts for the gpa? Thank you
We don’t know of any schools that assign GPA to transfer credit, they are always pass/fail
What kind degree I can get after Sophia courses? Can I study law
Using Sophia doesn’t disqualify you from law schools :) You need a regionally accredited bachelors degree, but it can contain Sophia classes.
I did 21 credits in 3 days through Sophia. 😊
Fantastic 🤩
what courses exactly did you take?
Is there a discount code for soohia?
Only issued by Sophia. Or there are referral codes on Reddit
I signed up on June 18 and in the past 2 weeks I have completed 24 credits with another 6 pending touchstone grading.
Courses completed:
Intro to Business
Intro to Ethics
Art History I
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Financial Accounting
Business Law
Environmental Science
Pending:
Spanish I
Business Comm.
I start classes at UMPI tomorrow and am expecting to graduate in December. I would have been beating my head against the wall at Oklahoma State for at least four more semesters had it not been for your channel. The time savings is immense considering I had never heard of Modern States, Sophia, or UMPI until stumbling across your TH-cam a few months ago.
Thank you!!!
You are a rockstar!! So glad you found us, and CONGRATS! 🥳🥳
Which one is better sophia or Fema course?
Better learning? Fema. Better as in faster? Sophia
Repost this from Discord since no one answer me yet:
I have a question regarding transferring credits from Sophia on proctored exam courses for UoPeople if anyone can answer me. Do they work? If and the U accept the credits, does that also counts as having completing a proctored exam course?
I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand. Are you asking if UoP accepts Sophia?
@@CollegeHacked no. I was just confused because some courses at UoPeople required you to take the final exam proctored. Since Sophia don't have that aspect in their courses, will the credits I receives from them work still? I've heard from one redditor that it works fine but that was about 1 or 2 years ago
I heard that WGU is not taking some courses from Sophia
Is your boot camp still available
I did the statistics course with Sophia….I did it over 3 days…maybe 1.5 hours each day….
Dang. You've got a good math brain I assume?
How is the final
I just did this one in less than an hour lol. I should have timed myself.
Nice work!
Can I enroll on this if I’ve never been to college?
Indeed!
My English two took three months
How long did you work a day, or how often did you work on it? I haven’t yet taken English comp 1 and 2 and they seem scary
English 2 would be faster to complete if your going to wgu. It only has one paper vs English 2 on Sophia there are 7 papers.
@@tonyc30917? Omg!
Is Sophia also okay for non-americans? I'm planning to take courses from Sophia and then I'm going to use the credits on The Open Unversity UK. I'm currently not in either US or UK but since both Sophia and Open University are online I'm really looking into them. I'm still quite young and just starting to figure out college. I'm really hoping to finish my undergrad studies fast so I can enroll to get my masters earlier as well. I will really appreciate if anyone here can clarify if these options are possible to me.
Nope, non-Americans can use Sophia, but usually only a few American colleges will accept these credits.
@@CollegeHacked That's okay the Open University is not an american college, it's in the UK. I'm in the process of asking them if they accept Sophia anyway, but thanks for the reply.
Anyone here no whats the easiest classes to take Im Trying to join the army. I need a quick 15 credits.
Take classes with no touchstones :)
Sorry for my lack of knowledge but the Army accept Sophia credits?
15 credits in two days here... 3x 4.5 and 1x 1.5
Question..how many classes I can fail to kick out..
I didn't know there was a kick out option. I don't think there is?
Are there grants on the Sophia platform?
Not that I know of.
For a CS Degree is collecting 90 credit hours possible ?
Only at a few schools. TESU is a good one for CS hacking.
Took about 35 credits in 2 weeks
Nice going! 😄
I did 18 credits in 5 days
A regionally accredited college is NOT going to accept Sophia credits...
As it turns out, many do. 😉 Thomas Edison, Liberty, Southern New Hampshire, Purdue Global, WGU, UMPI…. etc.
And Athens State University
How do we book a consult?
Just head over to www.collegehacked.com! Talk to you soon!
Recently with this course you can only earn 1 credit.
Indeed! Many things have changed since this was posted
Interesting challenge but that course is only rated as a 1 credit course.
Thank you for the correction!
Does the transfer of credit from Sophia Learning to the university after graduating with bachelor's degree affect acceptance of a master's degree at another university?
Not normally. The only time I've personally seen that happen is if the Sophia covered sciences and the student was going pre-med. If you need labs to apply to a graduate program, do the labs in person.
Financial accounting in 1 day 😎😎
3:04 sophia
In other words, college, never was what it used to be!
PS like your channel and I think this is great for jumpstarting young kids, and people in their careers already.
Thank you!! Glad you’re finding value 😎
I did 45 credits in a little over 3 months. Not as fast as other people but still much faster tha traditional college. Those 45 credits were 15 courses that is 3.75 semesters, assuming 4 courses per semester.
You rock!!! Huge accomplishment 😎
I’ll pay someone to take my algebra course. Please someone hmu
Open book...you can do it easily
Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ for he died for all of us while we were still sinners. He is coming back soon.
Do u have to be in college currently do do Sophia
You do not!
