TESU Theater Arts/BSBA Entrepreneurship vs UMPI's Accounting or Hist/PoliSci

[dfrecore]

The thing people say about the BACS and BSBA/CIS is that there is some overlap with courses you take - so you're killing 2 birds with 1 stone. However, you can just as easily do your 6 AoS courses that count towards Entrepreneurship and not worry about overlap:

This is the SDC list of courses you can take for that AoS, although some can be found elsewhere (you need 12cr of UL):

Required courses:
BUS 121: Intro to Entrepreneurship
MARK 301: Marketing Research (UL)
FIN 306: Small Business Finance (UL)

AoS Electives:
BUS 106: Human Resource Management
BUS 202: Intro to E-Commerce
BUS 203: Intro to Retail Merchandising
ACC 303: Cost Accounting
BUS 309: Digital Marketing & Advertising (UL)
BUS 315: Logistics and Supply Chain Management (UL)
BUS 321: Small Business Management (UL)
MARK 302: Consumer Behavior (UL)
MARK 306: Principles of Selling (UL)

Hi guys, I’m back a year later with my WES report finally. It’s been a struggle since I moved to China and trying to pay for stuff outside it (WES) took months to figure out. 

WES has just finished my accreditation today. I need a degree plan showcasing which credits I need to finish and on which website. 

Your Location: Beijing, China
Your Age: 24
What kind of degree do you want?: UMPI History and Political Science. The history major.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 60 Lower Level credits, foreign equivalent, accredited by WES. It has been sent to UMPI already (have not enrolled yet), and the official report is being sent to me, I currently have the digital report, attached.

I’m guessing that since my credits are foreign (as it only specifies that it’s lower level), they will only apply for the free electives portion, and I’d need to do the full GEC and Major credits on study.com/sophia.org. I just need to know which ones I need to do. 


Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None

Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: Not an issue
Commitments: None
Dedicated time to study: 8 hours per day, weekdays
Timeline: As soon as possible, before May 2025.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None as I’m a foreigner.

It looks like you have the foreign language requirement covered with your Japanese credits. One of your acting classes may or may not cover the 2D/2E GEC requirement.

You can use Sophia for your GEC and part of your history requirements. Here is the link for the General Education requirements for UMPI - you can use the first option listed for each GEC requirement, with the exception of English Composition 2, where Workplace Writing II is recommended over Sophia's English 2: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...ts_Roadmap

Another option for you to investigate is to do the BLS with a minor or two of your liking along with the 4 classes that can go towards the MAOL, this way, if you're looking to do the MAOL as well, you'll have 3 lesser classes for the next educational journey at the Masters level. Your main objective right now is to get an evaluation from UMPI and then complete the requirements through max transfer of Sophia.org credits, you will need to do 10 UMPI classes for residency.

I can’t do a BLS as it’s not recognized in my country and I’d rather not take that risk. But thanks for your advice, I’ll email UMPI right now.

I finally got my degree report from UMPI.

I have to ask, is it straight forward in what I have to do now that I have this degree report? I need to correspond it with the standard degree plan? 

I satisfied these so far:
-GEC - GLO 2D. ENG 211 or ART 108 
-GEC - GLO 2E. 2E. ENG 151 or HUM 184
-12 credits in the major
-2.00 minimum cumulative GPA

Unfortunately, non of my Japanese credits seemed to satisfy the foreign language section, should I contact them about this?

Also, is it possible that the only website I would need to use is Sophia and not study.com? Because study.com is quite expensive.

Foreign language would be fulfill if you took a class where you learned Japanese. Taking a class taught in Japanese such as a literture course does not fulfill the foreign language requirement.

Can't see your degree evaluation with the link you provided.

Yes you can use Sophia to complete the GEC. No need for Study.

[bjcheung77]

Review the UMPI degree plan links and investigate the degree of choice, I believe you're looking at a BABA or BA, find the Your Pace program that fits your needs... and then follow the degree plan on the WIKI links.

I did take plenty of Japanese language classes, it was required every semester.

The screenshots don't show what courses you transferred into UMPI. It's just what GEC requirements you still need to meet. You can do a screenshot of your unofficial transcripts on MaineStreet. There it will show how each courses transferred into UMPI.
