Got my Grades for Spring II term!!

[joshua27]

I got all my grades back today.  The turnaround time was very good I thought, although I still think they need to work out how to post grades as students complete classes.  I ended up with two Bs (which I knew already because these were the two classes I had with exams).  In hindsight I really wish I had studied for my exams so I could have pulled out a 4.0 but I'm quite pleased with my 3.767 and that will allow me to graduate Magna cum Laude.  I was also super proud to score 6 A+ grades in classes with papers.  I felt like I had done a really good job on ALL of my papers but 6 out of 8 marks at A+ is okay in my book lol.

Overall my experience at UMPI has been excellent and I love the fact that my diploma will be coming from a brick and mortar college.  I've said this before but I really appreciate all the help from the members of this forum.  You have all been nothing short of excellent helping me navigate the degree completion experience from developing my degree plan, completing classes at Sophia and then SDC to finally this 8 week marathon of a term on my road to completion at UMPI.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone.

Great work! You put in the effort, you deserve the grade! Work ethic pays off in the long run!

I cannot even imagine caring 12 credits in a term. You did well though and should be very proud of yourself!

Another success story!

You kicked ass and got this done in under 6 months.

Do you have any plans for an MBA?

4 months and 4 days technically from the time I started to the time I submitted my last final lol.  I completed 91 transfer credits and 30 credits at UMPI.  I ended up with way more transfer credits than I needed since I had some RA credits from two previous universities as well but it all worked out.  I got a bit carried away on Sophia lol.  

I do plan to pursue my MBA.  I likely will start down that road this fall.  The company I work for just informed up that a new tuition reimbursement program is coming out this fall so I'm planning to wait around to see what it consists of.  I will likely go ahead and apply for my FAFSA to ensure I can pay for the MBA without issue and then hopefully utilize my companies program once the time comes.

Now I just have to figure out which program will fit my learning style the best.  I prefer openbook/notes exams (who doesn't?) and shorter paper requirements.

Give Amberton a look. They have a variety of MBA programs. All of my exams were open book. There is no proctoring. There are not a lot of exams because it's grad school. Mostly papers/projects depending on the course and professor. I did the MBA in Strategic Leadership and had a lot of freedom in the courses I selected. There were a few required courses, but most of my courses were up to me. I wasn't required to take any accounting, financial, HR, marketing, or economics courses. Amberton is $300 per credit plus a few fees (I think around $25 per term). They have 4 10 week terms a year. Nothing is due on holidays which is nice. Other programs such as CSU Global have deadlines on holidays with zero leeway. That was fun 4th of July weekend!
