Quick degree for my wife

[ashkir]

@Dan, did you get started with your degree?  What did you do since you last posted here? I actually have the same recommendation as I have on that post.  UMPI is a very good option, wife has the language requirement and also a science lab it seems, she just needs to complete a BLS with Education Minor and also a Management Minor for the "business" part of things.  Voila, you get both minors instead of thinking of either one... https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...lease-HELP

@bjcheung77, I have not!! I actually transitioned into an IT role with the Fed Gov't and they are putting me through an associate degree for IT (The ill fated Eastern Gateway Community College program). The program will be cancelled after the fall term. Then I will begin chasing the bachelors probably through UMPI as you suggested. THANKS FOR ASKING!

I will have her apply to the school and see where the credits fall but your suggestion sounds solid!

Thanks, 


Dan

Yes, BIOL1004 included a lab. She has not gotten an Associates. Should she?

Thank you for the help!  

Dan

It is up to her, if she wants the Associate's right now. It will be free from Pierpont. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC

For her BA, I do recommend University of Maine at Presque Isle. Management or Educational studies will be best. Focus on the Bachelor of liberal studies. Since you have a lot of credit overlap with her, you two might be able to do the same degree, and do some classes together.

University of Maine at Presque Isle is all self-paced and you can work at your own speed.

I also believe Charter Oak will work out as well. 

Where would you and your wife would like to go is the question at this point? You both are way ahead of the game of most forum members. I recommend just applying at UMPI or COSC and getting your credits evaluated, to see how much work you have left.

Thank you so much for your input!!! 

I need to look into Pierpont. If an associates degree is complete does that create any additional opportunities/benefit with University of Maine at Presque? 

Sounds like it may be time for me to finally bite the bullet and go also!

Not much of an extra benefit. You can do a Bachelor of Applied Science with an Educational Minor or Manaagement minor, I believe, instead of the bachelor of Liberal Studies. However, it will likely take longer to get your pierpoint degree confirmed, and you'd already be done with the BA by the time the associates arrives. I usually recommend the associates if you have a lot of credits to go still. You both look really close, and can finish this before it can arrive.

Understand! Thanks again!

The BAS requires 40 technical credits which UMPI is VERY strict about. I have not seen anyone admitted to the BAS for YourPace in quite awhile. Everyone is being sent to the BLS program instead. I have an AAS in Business Administration with well over 40 technical credits and was still denied the BAS in YourPace.

Interesting! do you have any resources outlining the admission process?

You did not say how many credits each course was, nor did you include grades. If anything is below a C, that would be important to know. Let us know if any course is more or fewer than 3 credits as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UMPI - you need a lab science and an ethics course - so I'd suggest going to Study.com and taking BIO 101L: Intro to Biology w/Lab and then PHI 103: Ethics - Theory & Practice (you're paying for 2 courses, so you may as well take 2).

For the UMPI BLS degree, it looks like she'll bring in 84cr + 7cr for the Study.com courses; and then there are several choices that will work: Management (1 of 6 courses covered); Accounting (2 of 6 courses covered); MIS (2 of 6 courses covered); and Educational Studies (at least 2 of 7 courses covered, but you have tons of UL in that major already). You're bringing in tons of UL credit, which is nice.

For the UMPI BABA degree, it looks like she'll bring in 72cr + 7cr for the Study.com courses; and she has taken 2/3 of the courses for the major, but hasn't taken any of the courses for the concentrations, so those are going to take more effort - 42cr to complete for that degree.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For TESU's BSBA w/concentration in Management, she has 81cr now, and needs the following:

Sophia
- College Algebra
- Ethics
- Prin of Finance
- Business Communication (so that your UL Business Comm course can go in the AoS)
- Project Management

SDC
- BUS 120: International Business
- BUS 102: Principles of Marketing (so that your UL Marketing course can go in the AoS)
- ACC 202: Intermediate Accounting II or another short LL business course that will work in the AoS

OTHER
- CSM Learn math course

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For EC's BSB, she has 84cr now, and needs the following:

Sophia
- College Algebra
- Prin of Finance
- Project Management
- Intro to Business

SDC
- BUS 108: Business Ethics
- BUS 307: Leadership and Organizational Behavior
- BUS 120: International Business
2 add'l UL business electives

COOPERSMITH
- MAT-303: Quantitative Analysis

I have heard that EC will no longer take English Comp II for their Level 2 Writing course for business degrees - they are now requiring Business Writing, and I don't know that they'll take Sophia's Workplace Writing I (formerly Discover the Writer in You) or Workplace Writing II (formerly The Power of Persuasion) for that requirement, meaning you'd have to take it at EC unless you can find it elsewhere for less. So for me, this degree is OUT until further notice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of options, but if it's me, I'm doing UMPI's BLS with 2 minors.

The admissions process is simple. You fill out the free application and have your transcripts sent to UMPI.

UMPI will only count 90 credits so with 91 credits something won't be used. 

The BLS required the majority of the 24 UL credits to be completed at UMPI. Something to be mindful of.

Thank you for the breakdown! She is applying to UMPI this week!
