Find holes in my BABA plan

[BoatShoes]

Hi! I have taken the plan from this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-for-3-222 

Then attempted to update it based on this link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents 

As well as this link: http://catalog.umpi.edu/preview_program....ortfolio=1

Has anyone made a similar plan? Can you advise where I might run into issues?

@BoatShoes, Welcome to the board, that's too compact and concise of an intro post, it doesn't provide enough information that is asked for in the addendum and template within the sticky thread above your post. By providing an overall picture of your scenario, we can further assist you better with the extra details, please reply back and complete the addendum and template here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Nice update, you're on a roll, I skimmed the spreadsheet, it looks good... I would follow the Sophia.org and Study.com combo and then do the remaining classes at UMPI for residency purposes. I would try and get this done in two sessions, but if it has to go to a third, you're well off to complete that!

For the time being, I suggest completing the extra classes that go towards the MAOL, as your BABA degree already has a couple of them, you can take two more, and the MAOL would only need 9 classes. If you get that done in two sessions, it'll be FREE because of tuition reimbursement for next year!

Thanks, BJ. Do you know if UMPI prefers certain electives for the BABA? Or are the ones I chose fine? 

When you mention "extra classes" towards the MAOL, are you referring to classes I don't have listed on my sheet? (this is a great point btw)

There are 4 Bachelor-to-Master class replacements possible, but only 3 of them will apply to the MAOL. Taking all 4 classes will not reduce the MAOL class list to 8.

• BUS 335 Organizational Behavior replaces OLS 550 Team Leadership and Collaboration
  
  
• BUS 353 Legal & Ethical Issues in Business replaces OLS 520 Democracy and Ethical Leadership and Decision Making
  
  
• BUS 440 Business Analytics replaces OLS 610 Leadership and Business Operations
  
  
• BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication replaces OLS 620 Strategic Communications
  

You can take any elective course you want. You can also bring in additional courses beyond the 120 required for your degree, and they will appear on your transcript.

That's correct, for reference, you should review this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid400861
And then there is the WIKI, which has the same info above: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Un...esque_Isle
Last but not least, you should review the UMPI Plans: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

Okay. I believe I have all four of these courses on my list now, and it should match the plans in the wiki. Thanks for the help!

Hi BJ - I have done more research on some of the above threads and the plans listed on the degree forum. I've also completed two Touchstone Sofia courses this week. Enrolling in two touchstone courses was a rookie mistake, as now I am handcuffed until one is marked complete...

Would you mind looking for any red flags or recommendations in my updated sheet? I am not sure It's worth restructuring for the PM minor, but I am curious about your thoughts. 

Thanks.

Thanks for the input! I have included these classes in my plan - as the MAOL seems like a natural next step.

When I click the links and cross-reference the UMPI requirements with the Sophia courses listed, I only see three Sophia courses that map to UMPI requirements, and two of them map to the same UMPI requirement. So, they would only cover two requirements. I also see Sophia courses that map to UMPI "BUS 1xx elective", but I think you need a BUS 3xx elective, don't you? This is new to me and I might be misinterpreting or checking the wrong lists. Has anybody written a simple list of "take this at Sophia to knock off 7 UMPI requirements" or the like? I guess that is what the linked lists are, but I think I must be missing something in how they translate. Thanks.
