Doubt very much. U will have to take TOEFL ( and so on) or Eng Com 1 from RA University.

International students need to have TOEFL scores if English isn't the national language. English courses aren't a substitute.
Here's how Sophia's courses transfer to PUG.

ACE providers such as Sophia are not providing regionally accredited courses, you can however take a community college English I/II course instead for the requirements, this allows you to skip the TOEFL, IELTS

Take PUG English test to meet the international student standards. It quite easy and simple. Ask your advisor to enable the PUG English test or take English composition I and II at ONU. However, English I and II are quite easy at PUG compare to ONU. I have passed English I & II at ONU and PUG both. ONU English courses has lot more writing compare to PUG. Hence, better to take at PUG.

I assume PUG would be similar to UMPI in regards to being CBE, hopefully you can finish a degree in 2-3 terms too! Just make sure to max out your transfer and take the required courses that are easiest or most interesting to you at PUG.

Yep. It is quite hard for any degree. I have a few friends who are in Business Administration and they are struggling with many classes. However, there are few classes which are easy comparatively other places like English composition is at Sophia or ONU.

PUG is nothing at all like UMPI. UMPI has 3 credit classes with 1 paper for each class. PUG has 5 and 6 credit classes that are each broken down into 1 credit classes. Each 1 credit class has a series of assignments. My husband is in the Analytics ExcelTrack and you can't max our the transfer credit in that program. You have to take many classes at PUG. There's no transfer equivalency for many of the analytics classes. Those classes have so much work - 12 labs and 2 papers has been the norm per credit. Plus the quizzes and reading. Not to mention the research to be able to complete the labs and papers. He spends faaaaaaaar more time completing the assignments for 1 credit than I do for 3 credits at UMPI.
