Considering Taking on SDC
BUS 303>BUS 244 UMPI
BUS 304>BUS 240 UMPI
BUS 312>BUS 415 UMPI
BUS 310>BUS 353 UMPI

Assuming all transfer in would be 6 over the 90 permitted but im worried some will exceed the count allowed for free credits or not apply to the GEC. Should I forget SDC or just do 2 classes before I have to start paying for extra proctoring? I'm 21 and can dedicate all my time to this extremely motivated how quickly can I finish. How many credits do you think ill start with?

all of those should transfer in but that isn't certain. you can check on their transfer equivalency page or here: at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents

you need upper level credits at UMPI as well as the residency requirement of 10 courses. - check here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan - this should give you some additional ideas to what courses you'll need to take at UMPI. Good luck, I'll be wrapping up in this next session.

Yes, you can transfer in courses after you're enrolled. You just need to email your academic advisor for permission. Keep in mind that you can only have 90 transfer credits applied to your degree and you must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI.

@jarrett312, I've cleaned up the initial post as it was using very tiny fonts.  Could you see if have more details to add from the template and last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works  |  My only suggestion is to make sure you have up to 90 credits for transfer by following the WIKI guidelines for the gen eds and also the degree of choice: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...ts_Roadmap

Note: At the bottom of the link, it'll have UMPI as a hyperlink, this is where all the 'pages' are for UMPI, select a degree and complete all the requirements that can be done with Sophia.org before you move to another provider. For example, you want an UMPI BABA SCM option, there is a link for that and other minors available... again, complete up to 90 credits entirely with Sophia.org by following the WIKI plans.

If I were you, I would take one more month of Sophia and either take Bio Lab or Chem Lab - those are a real pain at UMPI.

Then, you could do a month at SDC to knock out American Government if you wanted, and since you're paying for 2 classes there, I'd probably take BUS 312: Advanced Operations Management since it's short and only has 1 paper.

Then, you're ready to enroll at UMPI. You have 15 courses to take, so that's 2-3 terms there. That's a lot of courses, but not insane or anything, just more than the average has to take there, because Supply Chain has a lot of courses that aren't available elsewhere.

If you wanted to cut that back, you could take HUM 201: Critical Thinking & Analysis, ACC 301: Applied Managerial Accounting, BUS 303: Management Information Systems, and BUS 304: Leading Organizational Change - but I'm not sure it's worth $400 and 2 months of your time there. It would still leave you with 11 courses, which still usually takes people 2 months to do at UMPI; but it definitely gives you a better shot at finishing in 2 months than 3.
