UMPI BLS MISM VS Pierport then UMPI BAS

[k681]

All three should take a similar amount of time and effort. The BLS/BAS can be “potentially easier” since they are more flexible and allow you to choose more “easier/shorter” courses. I found the BABA to be more straightforward since it lacks that freedom in course selection.

@k681, Where in BC are you? I was in Nanaimo/Parksville two years ago - August for vacation, 3 days/2 nights (Inn at Long Lake) with two other families, it was a great trip.  Actually, my kids liked it so much, I went back this year in Mid March as well, 4 days/3 nights at Bayside Oceanfront Resort in Parksville and we went around to Qualicum Beach, plus surrounding areas, etc.

Anyways, here are a few threads you want to review, in addition to many others about UMPI and their BA, BABA, BAS/BLS options, it's really personal preference, and I think your preference right now is to transfer all your Canadian credit (60) of them as electives, then do 30 more credits from Sophia.org such as the Language, Science & Lab, gen eds, etc, to max remaining transfers.

You can then do the final 30 credits at UMPI for residency, again, for the last few months, I've been recommending a balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience.  You may have certs/experience and looking at a 'check the box' degree, you might even go for the UMPI MAOL afterwards, when you get to the Masters, the Bachelors isn't really looked at anymore.

I am in Vancouver/ Parksville and Nanaimo definitely has that chill west coast relaxing vibe! glad you enjoyed the trip. If you ever do come back, do plan a visit to Tofino which is approx 4-5hrs away from Parksville area!

Thanks for the information. In order to get my 60 credits from my diploma as credits, would I simply submit it to WES for them to evaluate or do I simply submit it through UMPI and have them assess it?

Thanks again for all the detailed info. I'll definitely check out those threads..

If you're only applying at UMPI, you shouldn't need a WES evaluation for Canadian degrees. For the most accurate information, contact the UMPI admissions office as it is likely they updated the procedures due to the influx of students.
