Path Recommendation for 50 y.o. male in US

[ill13]

On Friday I applied for the second fall term at UMPI for their "BA Business Administration with minors in Project Management and Information Systems"

https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/academic_p...anagement/


I Just finished the "Google IT Support Professional" [that took ~4 hours in total] and the "Google Project Management" courses on Coursera [~6 hours total]. Those should be worth 12 and 9 credits, respectively. 

Looks like I'll have to pay Coursera the $40 to get the certificates though...

This means I should have 99 credits to transfer to UMPI, however that still leaves the 10 courses for residency requirements.

Those 10 UMPI courses are likely to be:

BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing
BUS 240: Change Management
BUS 244: Management Information Systems
BUS 245: Programming for Managers
BUS 440: Business Analytics

BUS 415: Operations Management
BUS 343: Project Risk and Cost Mgt.
BUS 345: Database Management
BUS 400: Project Management App.
BUS 469: Strategic Professional Comms


The first 5 courses are said to be "easy", the last 5, well, we'll see!

Unless anyone has any better suggestions?

Looks like a good plan.  You have come a long way.  Now it's time to finish everything up at UMPI.  GL.

Great stuff, PM & IS is a great concentration to go for, even though it's mainly business related and not IT related... You're doing great with a balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience... Good luck with the remaining classes, did you get the academic evaluation back, the one with yellow highlights indicating remaining classes for the degree?
