Transfer cybersecurity minor/major into UMPI?

[ss20ts]

Minors and majors aren't the same thing. You need to complete a certain amount of credits in a major at UMPI. UMPI does not offer CS or Cybersecurity in YourPace. You'd have to transfer in the courses. With a minor it's not a problem because you only have to meet the residency requirements for the first minor. Majors aren't the same when it comes to residency requirements.

Actually, the residency requirements aren't for majors but for degrees. There aren't any residency requirements for majors.

I completed 2 bachelor's degrees from UMPI and YES there are residency requirements for each major and the first minor in the BLS. You should read the college catalog. The requirements are in it.

Of the 30 credits required for residency (e.g. must be taken at UMPI), 12 must be in the major and 9 must be upper-level. Reads like a sub-requirement for residency purposes.

"All four-year degree candidates must complete at least 30 credit hours of study through UMPI in order to receive a baccalaureate degree. At least 12 of these credits must be in the major and at least 9 of these 12 must be at the upper level (300-level or above)."

All bachelors degree candidates have to do 30 credits; candidates do not have to do 30/12/9 credits per major. What you're saying is that a degree candidate needs to do 30/12/9 credits per major. But this would entitle them to get two degrees instead of simply two majors.

"In order to receive additional degrees, the following conditions must be met: (1) The first degree must have been awarded; (2) The student must apply through Admissions for subsequent degrees; (3) A minimum number of credits must be earned beyond the total hours earned for the previous degree: 15 for each additional Associate, 30 for each additional Baccalaureate."

Unless the requirements for two degrees and two majors are the same, students wouldn't need a second residency requirement. BLS students don't have majors, for example.

One can have 2 majors and will not earn 2 degrees. You one double majors in English and History, one degree is awarded at graduation - the Bachelor of Arts. The diploma will list both majors. The transcripts will list 1 degree with 2 majors. 

Completing 2 degrees is something different. I did complete 2 degrees at UMPI. I had to complete 30 credits at UMPI and the minor requirements for my BLS. Then I had to apply for graduation and wait for my degree to be conferred. Then I had to apply again to UMPI and be accepted. Once accepted I still had to complete and additional 30 credits at UMPI. All 30 credits had to be completed AFTER my first degree was conferred. I also had to meet the major requirements for my BABA including the 12 credit in the major and 9 the UL credits.

And you're also wrong about BLS students! BLS does in fact have a major. The major is Liberal Studies.

Basically, at this juncture... I would only recommend people who have all the major/minor requirements try to do this, if you're starting from scratch, skip it... I would recommend doing the BABA PM & IS instead, and have a balanced mix/match of the trifecta of certs, degree, experience instead.
