Project Management Degree Plan Confusion

[dcacosta]

Hello!

Have a question for you wonderful people....

I have decided on UMPI BABA Project Management program. I am following the degree plan on the Wiki to the T, but I am confused on the electives....

For example, BUS 440 can be accomplished with IBM Data Analyst Certificate which transfers in as BUS 440, and 9 credits BUS1XX (business electives).

Sorry if I sound silly, but what are business electives? Also, even with these electives the degree plan says I still need 20 general elective credits. Is there any reason for this? Are these electives from the Coursera courses accounted for in this degree plan?

Thanks!

P.S. - I appreciate all the motivation I've gained from this forum. 30 days in and I already have several courses completed with Sophia!
