Supply Chain Degree - WGU vs UMPI

[SCM101]

Hello!

I have a path forward for most of my remaining courses at WGU and will begin taking courses at Sophia where possible, then going to Study.com for the rest.

Sophia, Study.com, and Straighterline all returned no options for the 4 below courses. I would like to try and find a solution for 3 of them if there's any alt courses outside of the 3 mentioned options that will transfer and be accepted by WGU (The degree I am going for has 27 locked credits that can't be transferred, so the 27+3 (1 of the below) would put me at the 30 credits needing to be taken at WGU specific.)

If WGU is just the easiest place to take the course, I can do that too, just wanted to ask here first.

4 courses looking for alt option if better:

• Innovative and Strategic Thinking
  
• Strategic Training and Development
  
• Talent Acquisition
  
• Total Rewards

Did you check Saylor?

Did you check Saylor?

I had not, but just checked and it has no equivalents for the 4 courses. 

Appreciate the suggestion.

Which degree is this for? Each WGU school/college has different requirements.

Are we only allowed to have 1 thread on this forum? I asked here initially about planning a path, and BJ recommended the template. I tried to use it but decided to remove my info as I was no longer looking for help with picking a path, and have decided on what direction I'm going independently.

I created a separate thread in UMPI area asking about what the degree's look like (un related to my path post) and it was merged here.

Then I created a thread in WGU area asking about 4 specific WGU courses and possible alternatives I might have overlooked, that was also moved here.

It's just causing confusion in my opinion, and If I'm restricted to only posting over here in the Degree Planning Advice area, I can stop and just go back to silent searching / googling if my posts are causing concern/confusion.

@SCM101, no, you're doing things just fine, mods/people do things and think differently.  I thought it was better to have in a thread for your inquiry on both the UMPI/WGU options as you haven't fully decided which one to go for just yet.  

The main reason you want to do this is so your details are compacted and concise, if you create multiple threads, it'll be harder to dig up info on your scenario/situation and people who are trying to help can't provide you a more complete or detailed answer.

I was thinking along the lines of merging this until you've fully decided, then you can create a degree plan post/thread and decide on courses/provider for the degree itself. Again, I merged it as I thought you would be better helped in deciding between the two.

For me, I dislike searching for things and having it scattered all over the place, yet I also don't like merging everything into one thread, it depends on what's within the threads... I like things neat, nice, tidy... There are times I merged threads to get them more traction, so their questions get answered...

Here's an example of some posts I've merged, when someone is writing a progress thread and they're creating 1 post/thread for each course they completed, instead of having so many threads, I've merged all their Sophia.org completion threads into one.  Then their Study.com completion threads into a second one.  When people search for Sophia.org class reviews they'll see the one thread and can swiftly go through it, the same goes for the Study.com thread.

Another example was someone creating a thread for each UMPI course and wanting tips, they created 13 threads on 'tips' for each course.  Instead, one of the mods, merged all 13 into one.  Essentially, tips/tricks are very similar for each course offering at UMPI, there really wouldn't be a need for one each course, senior members answering can elaborate exactly what they did for which course...

It's all good man, only good intentions from your side. I just wanted to validate I wasn't making things a mess or violating any forum rules I overlooked. I can see where you are coming from.

For the moment, I've decided on WGU while I wait this final week to see if my appeal to UMPI for getting a better credit coverage out of the credits they landed.

I'm going to make a post in WGU specific to WGU aspects and the course I have left to see if anyone has any class specific advice for some of the courses I have options on.

Thanks for the help bjcheung77.
