DEGREE PLAN HELP PLEASE!

[bjcheung77]

hey Bj, I see youre an expert in this forum! to get quick advice, Ive followed the template to make my situation more clear and easier for people to read. is it better to start a new with the improved one so it can attract more attention?

Hey, I got your PM... No, your duplicate thread was reported and I cleaned it up, there's really no need to double post to attract attention, the more you post on this thread the higher it becomes in the list and it'll get bumped to a 'hot tread' if there are enough posts/replies.  It's great you've provided more details... 

You really should go for the UMPI BLS for max transfer as I mentioned earlier in one of your posts replies, again, you can have a minor or two, even three as you don't have any UL credits at all, you can take the 30 credits residency and use those as the UL requirements for all 3 minors.

Having said that, I also mentioned a BABA with a concentration that you're more inclined to do as that concentration may be something you're looking at more closely than the others... You need to compare the requirements and what gets transferred in, plus the energy, time, you would want to spend on this journey.

If I were you, I'd apply at UMPI for the BLS/Mgmt degree and send in your transcripts; then, I'd enroll at Sophia and take the following:
Sociology
Spanish I
Ethics
American Government
Business Communication

Send that transcript to UMPI, and then enroll in the Fall I term.

You need to take 10 courses at UMPI:
4 remaining courses in the major
hands-on art
5 add'l courses (I'd prob choose the ProjMgmt minor which has 3 courses in common with Mgmt so 3 add'l courses) and then 2 add'l courses in whatever you want. You may be required to take more UL courses, since the Mgmt & PM minors only have 5 UL courses between them.

Thanks! jw, since I have a bunch of credit it seems, why UMPI over the "big 3" schools?

@bvndz, My answer is Cost, Ease, Speed... but mainly because you mentioned in your post that you're looking specifically at UMPI BLS Management minor.

[bvndz]

would Excelsior or TESU be a great option for me? I don't mind paying extra, just as long as I can take easier outside sources and the journey won't be too hard once im applied at the school. Bringing in 94% plus credits is kind of nice to me, but I'm not sure what the catch is.

But i dont mind getting a business degree also.

The courses you can take at Study.com for UL are not always faster or easier than the equivalent courses at UMPI. UMPI courses have repeatedly been reported to be easier and faster than many SDC options.

In contrast, the LL options you get from Sophia are usually faster/easier than what you'd take at UMPI. The exception is English Composition; that is faster at UMPI.

Excelsior's capstone has group work, which students sometimes struggle with due to non-responsiveness of their group members, etc.

TESU's capstone is about as much writing as you'll do for the whole UMPI degree.

This is answers my question! I just applied and turned in my transcripts to umpi, I will keep you guys updated once I heard back from them!

After taking these 5 classes at Sophia, I would only be left with the 10 class minimum or 30cr minimum with umpi?

From a quick glance, you're pretty close. I would wait for the application to go through and transcripts to be evaluated, you should do the Sophia.org classes as you need to transfer in the max of 90 credits that hit all the general education and electives.

Ok, I think umpi is barely opening up my transcripts right now I sent 4 there way fri evening. Can someone please help me on the rest of the easiest Sophia classes that I need to take. Because I’m scared to take a Sophia class for no reason lol

You really need to review the post from dfrecore as it lists the courses you have remaining to do on Sophia.org, I'm not sure what you mean by 'help' as we can't help you do your Sophia.org courses, you have to complete the quizzes, milestones, and touchstones if any. Work on those courses and send them into UMPI when you're done with all of them. You're not taking any courses you're not supposed to, why be scared?

Just in case you have another question and haven't decided which of the courses to take, I would review this equivalency and take the ones with lesser or no Touchstones first, or another way is, take the subject matter that interest you the most. You've got this, just do it... You can do two courses at a time, go get them credits you whippersnapper! Good Luck, have fun! https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List
