UMPI Business, M.S. - PM Concentration

[colonelcamp]

I searched for this degree program on the Yourpace page, but couldn't find any details about this degree. I did find the below page which appears to be for their on-campus program, but has the same name as the one listed on the Yourpace graduate application. I'm guessing it's the same thing, but it's not clear to me. Can anyone confirm this?

That is the YourPace program. It’s not offered on-campus. You can confirm that it’s a YourPace program on the catalog page YourPace Programs and Course Offerings, under the heading YourPace Graduate Programs.

Looks like there are some upcoming concentrations in the next few days. I can't wait for when they release a concentration on Big Data and or BI

I applied for the ms pm for spring1 and was just accepted. I’m trying to decide between WGU and UMPI. We’ll see what these new concentrations look like. Any others that you’ve heard of that might be coming?

I only know what I've seen in these catalogs. I will say this though: I did obtain some information well before any of these courses or the MSB program was even announced during my discussions with some of the professors in September of 2024. I always talk about UMPI and anytime I interact with any of them in the courses, I always pick their brains about what's coming next to the institution. It's pretty cool to hear about some behind the scenes work going on. I didn't mention anything in this forum prior as I didn't want to go spreading any rumors. I just remain excited for what's to come as I believe UMPI is leading the way in universal and affordable education.

I really liked my undergrad experience at UMPI a lot. I’m leaning towards UMPI because I don’t like the prospect of exams at WGU. I like writing and UMPI is all writing.

Similar notions here, but I felt that the proctoring at the time was quite intrusive (I believe it was Examity?) and I had bad experiences with it. I did well on all of my tests and I never failed one, but the writing assignments at WGU are incredibly painstaking there and I've had the same assignment pushed back 4-5 times in addition to the lack of support I had in some courses. I moved on, went to UMPI, and never had an issue since. WGU was a great start for me in learning about the potential CBE offers, but UMPI cemented my love in higher education and it helped boost my self-confidence

Another thing I’m thinking about is how one master’s program is considered compared to the other because of the exams. Maybe WGU is more respected because it’s thought to be more difficult. This didn’t stop me from going for the BAS at UMPI, but it’s on my mind for the master’s. 

Another consideration for me is that I’m 27 years into my career in IT, so beyond checking a box for future possibilities, does it even matter. I might be overthinking this.

Was there any other memo indicating what they will come out with? The initial start was 3 concentrations, they should be adding more, but we will have to wait to see what those are...

WGU is better known. Whether that is good or bad can be situational or a matter of opinion. As far as how the courses are operated, I prefer the idea of more writing vs the idea of proctored exams, but also just a matter of opinion. It's good to have options.
