Degree Planning Advice - Pierpont to UMPI or WGU
#11
WGU is a great school, but they don't like to give transfer credit for anything older than 5 years.

Also, once you start WGU, you can't bring any transfer credit.

Sophia and other providers are usually faster on average than doing WGU. If you can max transfer credits into WGU, you can give yourself an excellent chance to finish WGU in one term.

If you are going to leave WGU for UMPI, then I don't know why you are wasting time taking more courses with WGU. Free or not, wasting time wouldn't be doing you any good.

Here's a thread you may want to investigate and dig through the links and other threads I have pointed to, the reason is there is a comparison of UMPI vs WGU, it depends on the student, as I mentioned in this thread in earlier replies... Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...PI-Pathway

Repeat of post #6: Merged the two threads, it's best to see if you can get another mentor. I suggest you to see if staying with WGU outweighs other options. I think I would stay and get another mentor for the rest of your studies. Good luck...

Repeat of post #9: You've got 61 credits, great job! Make sure to review the WIKI link and verify you have the general education requirements, if you do, then the rest would be all electives. Basically, Review your credits again and compare to the WIKI - You just need to apply for graduation and have them audit you for graduation.
