ACE Credit Expirations

[ss20ts]

I liked WGU's old accounting degree - it was actually a BS in Accounting, and had a little bit of the business core, but tons of accounting.  Now, it's just a business degree with an accounting concentration, far less accounting.

I would definitely look at UMPI, their accounting degree is equivalent, and that degree is very easy to plan out.

UMPI will take almost every course from Sophia so that's a huge bonus. UMPI is soooo easy to plan out a degree for. You only need classes from 3 places if you want to max out your transfer credits. Most of them are Sophia classes which are pretty easy as well.  UMPI also has a BA in Accounting, a BA in Business Administration with an Accounting Concentration, and a BLS (Bachelor's of Liberal Studies) with an Accounting Minor. So there are 3 different options depending on how accounting heavy one wants to go.

Which other two places besides Sophia are you referring to, that transfer well over to UMPI?

Nice! I will definitely keep UMPI in mind. I spoke with an enrollment counselor at WGU yesterday, and was told that they actually allow a max of 60 credits to transfer. (I made sure to communicate to the enrollment counselor that I'm not ready to enroll yet, and that I want to earn some credits first.)

Good to know. I actually like the idea of more business, and less intense accounting, because, while I'd like to specialize in accounting to some level, I want to be well-rounded in other business aspects as well.

Study.com has a couple of classes that you can transfer to UMPI: Spanish & Biology
InstantCert also has a couple: Managerial Accounting & American Government

But, by and large, most credits can/should come from Sophia due to cost and ease of completion.

Study.com's Biology w/Lab is what you want, if you don't already have a lab science.  They probably have some additional business courses you'll want to take, to make sure that after Sophia and ICC, you have the full 90cr you want/need before starting at UMPI.
