General education (UMPI VS SOPHIA)

[rachel83az]

I am wondering myself.....
How many Sophia credits does UMPI take? Will they take all 90 credits just from Sophia?
Iam looking into Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration – Project Management Concentration or Bachelor of Liberal Studies - Project Management Minor via UMPI. Any input would be great.

I am just finishing up the BABA in Project Management.  I considered doing the BLS, but it honestly really wasn't much harder to do the BABA.  And if you are starting from scratch with Sophia courses, I definitely recommend doing the BABA.

The wiki that was linked to above does a great job of showing what you should take at UMPI vs. elsewhere.

I transferred in a combination of credits from past colleges, sophia and study. com.  When I started UMPI I needed 12 courses to get the BABA or 10 to get the BLS.  In one session I have completed all the courses I need for the BABA in and am now working on an extra course that will allow me to add on a management minor. I have set aside this time to be able to work full time on this, so depending on your situation you might find one term difficult, but you can definitely get it done in two or three.

Generally, a BABA with concentration would be better to complete than the BLS with a minor. I usually only recommend the BLS with the minor because of max transfer of credits, as 60+ can be electives, this is only for those that want a quick 'check the box' degree and don't really want a major or want to salvage their current credits.
