I just noticed they added this class recently. Will this course be sure to count and replace bio with lab?

One thing to mention. Human biology with lab is worth one credit at Sophia, and bio with lab at Study.com is worth four. How can this impact me when I submit my classes to UMPI?

Human Biology is worth 3 credits at Sophia. The lab is a separate course and is worth 1 credit. You need to take BOTH courses for it to count at UMPI. The work for both should be less than the work for just Bio 101L at Study.com.

Thank you for clarifying that, Rachel83az. I will consider taking it because I am still enrolled in Sophia and will have next week available. Thank you! Besides that, I will also need to take Bus307 organizational behavior at study.com and managerial accounting at InstantCent. Are there any other options for completing these classes?

According to UMPI's database, Sophia Biology Lab comes in as Biology Elective and DOES NOT fulfill any G.E. requirement.

You can do Chemistry & Lab with Sophia or Biology & Lab with Study.com

Course Experience:  CLEP, Instantcert, Sophia.org, Study.com, Straighterline.com, Onlinedegree.org, Saylor.org, Csmlearn.com, and TEL Learning.

Other students have reported using Sophia's Biology + lab to fill the GE requirements. I kind of trust them over the database, which has previously had some weird errors.

You can no longer do Managerial Accounting at InstantCert. You would have to take it at Study.com or UMPI.

Ok, then it should work.

UMPI's database shows Intro Nutrition fulfills 3C so either that course or Human Biology if you do Chemistry + Lab

Why wouldn't they have gone to Credly as you finished each course?

I went ahead and started Human Bio at Sophia. It appears to be a very simple and enjoyable course.
