So glad to have found this forum, as I've been researching online and am ready to earn my degree!
Background
My last experience with competency based education was with WGU back in 2010. At that time grading took quite awhile and it was hard to progress - I only stayed one term and it left some anxiety. I currently work in tech, but would like to transition into consulting in the next 7-10 years. My goal is to earn a Masters degree, and I would like to be able to gain admission to an online program similar to UT Permian Basin.
I currently have 77.36 regionally accredited credits, and I'm thinking that a quick Liberal Arts degree at UMPI might be the ideal fit for me, with a focus area - still researching this. I was really excited about this path forward, but after seeing comments on slow grading / delayed enrollments I'm a little nervous and researching a few other programs. I plan to pay out of pocket, and feel like I can't afford admin delays.
My question
I've read quite a few posts and it looks like grading at UMPI is pretty consistent at 3 days. Is that current? Any current student concerns?
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, and thanks in advance!
