I think it's more the concept that Sophia Project Management takes time, and UMPI BUS 141 takes time, so if you have a choice between spending time on one or the other, that time is better spent on BUS 141. However, having personally completed BUS 400 & BUS 401 after transferring Sophia Project Management, I was really worried that I was missing some important information, but it ended up being fine. In the end I was happy that I didn't have to take BUS 141 at UMPI because I was able to find an easy LL elective, but either way seems like it would be ok.

BUS141 at UMPI is REALLY easy. I did it in less than 3 days. Just had to wait for approval on my project. You do start with PMI info in this course. Sophia's Project Management course isn't PMI based so there is a difference between the 2.

Alright I decided to go ahead and apply to the UMPI English program and see how the credits I have play out. I can still do some Sophia etc before classes begin at the end of August, correct?

Again, thanks everyone for sharing all of this knowledge, I really appreciate all the input.

Also, does this look about right?

Thanks!

It's workable... You want to max your Sophia.org and transferable credits before you begin the degree at UMPI. Is it the English one with Pro Comm/Journalism concentration you want to get? They have other degree options such as CJ, History/Political Science, etc. Maybe get an evaluation first and then decide as most of your credits aren't in the social sciences.

Yes, the Pro Comm/Journalism is what I’ve decided to aim for provided the process goes smoothly. 
How long do the evaluations seem to typically take? I know Monday will throw things off with Memorial Day.
