Decision time: BABA/Leadership vs BLS/Management

Quick update in case it's useful for anyone else now or in the future with similar goals or background as me.

I completed the SDC equivalent for BUS 260 on Friday and am awaiting the exam grade. I have completed everything except the exam for the SDC equivalent for BUS 415. I got 99% for quizzes and 94% for assignments, so I'm not worried about the exam. I only need a 17 on it. I will take it sometime this week when I have about 45 minutes available.

I re-sent my Credly badges to edocs because since I first sent it, I have added a few more Sophia classes that met some requirements.

Between all of this, I need 12 classes at UMPI: BUS 200, MAT 140, BUS 220, BUS 240, BUS 325, BUS 440, BUS 460, BUS 469, BUS 489, BUS 321, BUS 330, BUS 335

I am planning to do them in pretty much that order. I want to save one or more that can be done via SDC for last, in case I can complete residency but not all 12 classes this session. That way, I can do the one or two I still need via SDC and apply for graduation. There are SDC equivalents I have not done yet for 321, 330, and 335. If I can't do 10 classes this session at UMPI, then I will need another session regardless.

Yesterday, I took the orientation class, then started reading on my first two real UMPI classes, BUS 200, and MAT 140.

Today, I submitted all milestones for BUS 200. The hardest one for me was the Excel spreadsheet. I use Excel a lot, but rarely for formulas and functions. I had to do some reading on that, and I will be interested to see the feedback on that one. The Word and PPT docs were easy for me so far - for milestones, you don't do full final versions of the documents with all features, so they may get harder for the FA.

I then started on MAT 140. I did the first milestone (super easy if you are good with basic math and understand things like sales tax and discount percentages) and am about to work on the second milestone.

I like how UMPI presents the material. So far, so good.

Awesome!  I start on September 3rd and am super excited.
