I'm sure of bachelor's degrees. They have online master's degree programs (public health, computer science and I believe engineering). The Regents voted a few years back to implement some sort of online bachelor's degrees into the UC system but I've yet to see it happen. Only graduate programs.mary1028 wrote:pie wrote:Yeah I mean I've never looked into it because I just assumed that she was finishing up her degree because she would go take tests while I was at work!

They have a certification course (for interior design and interior architecture) through their extension but those are classroom-based and require a bachelor's degree to enroll. I've long been interested in Ingrid's educational background because I liked her because she was such an academic and all that jazz. She COULD have taken courses through the online/extension program but it would be nuts to assume an architecture program could be finished online. It's not a read/take a test kind of path. Cal also doesn't offer online bachelor's degrees...they have courses you can take online that offer college credit and of the same quality as their standard lecture courses, but you can't get an actual degree from them (unless this has changed recently, like AFTER Ingrid supposedly was summa cum laude).
The conflicting information from people who knew her tells you what kind of shenanigans she's told people just to keep up a facade.

And, sorry, to avoid confusion she was no longer pursuing architecture after she transferred from Academy of Art. She switched to some sort of interior design major toward the end of that.
So, if I'm understanding correctly, what could have happened is that she finished up some college courses through an online program but didn't graduate with a degree? That doesn't seem to make sense for her to do. You cannot get a degree of any kind through Cal online? It certainly is all sounding weirder and weirder. I wonder if she lied to me about Cal but graduated with a degree through an online program from somewhere else. Or finished up her degree with Academy of Art with these online courses. Confusing, you guys are right.
I'm not discounting the idea that she was probably taking some classes through the extension and needed to be physically up there to finish them. Those wouldn't certainly add up to her being a Cal alumna though.
Heh I know no one cares about the UC educational system but I hate reading about this girl talking about her mythical degree! I'm glad she's successful but damn. She could have just easily said that she changed paths and pursued a new career path that she never once thought was an option. Even Fleur straight up admitted she didn't like her university experience - and she actually finished!
