This school any good abroad?

I need a degree in anything to teach English in Asia. Will this school accredit me to work overseas? Thanks!

UMPI is a fully regionally accredited public university. It will almost certainly tick that box for you. It won't be a "recognizable" name, in either a good (Harvard, UCLA) or bad (University of Phoenix) way.

Completed: BSBA OpMgmt - TESU June 2021

UG - AP Tests: 20 credits | APICS: 12 Credits | CLEP: 6 credits | Saylor Academy: 6 credits | Sophia.org: 27 credits | Study.com: 12 credits | Davar Academy: 3 credits | TESU: 15 credits | Other College: 99.5 credits

I found this smart sheet. I just signed up for a Sophia to do my general ed to take these courses. What your opinion?

That website is from a forum member. It's how he completed his UMPI degree. He completed the BA in Business Administration with Management and Leadership Concentration.

No. Because it is my smartsheet and I am the only one who posted a full degree plan, I slightly altered it based upon what I learned to let people take the maximum credits to transfer versus having useless credits for no reason.

You need a regionally accredited degree, then you shouldn't have any problems teaching overseas.

Also, you don't need to learn how to speak the language of the country you will be teaching English in.  You don't need a Master's of Ed either or any other special certifications.

This YouTuber got a degree from TESU in Liberal Studies, makes a bunch of money teaching ESL overseas in various countries.

I watch his channel! He is part of the reason why i want to get this online degree. I know TESU worked well getting a work visa in China for him but because i have never heard of someone getting a degree from UMPI i need to make sure a degree from UMPI is sufficient enough to receive a work visa abroad In China or Russia. Thanks for your reply!

UMPI is the University of Maine at Presque Isle. It's one of the universities in the University of Maine state system. It's a VERY small rural university with about 1100 on campus students. It's been around for over 100 years.
