UMPI Degree Plan

[ss20ts]

OP - are those courses from UW UL credits?

To be honest I have no idea.

I went and looked at their website, and it's funky, but I was able to find the following, which doesn't quite match what you input:

BALM300X: Intro to the HR Function 3cr UL
BAEF301X: Stock Market Performance 1cr UL
BAOS300X: Sales & Data Analytics & Communication Using Spreadsheets 2cr UL
BAMS300X: Marketing Foundation Concepts & Applications 2cr UL
BALM310X: Organizational Behavior & Leadership 4cr UL

Can you confirm my info, or tell me that your info is correct instead?

Also, how much longer do you have left in your current term there, and are you going to finish anymore courses?

oh my God!! You are the best, yes is correct probably I typo on my end!

Hello Everyone, 
I'm tired and I want to finish a degree fast, I'm currently at the UoW Flex for Business Administration, 
I like the classes the problem I have is that is the slow pace in a way. You have to pass each assessment with an 80 and sometimes you have 6-14 assessments ranging in quizzes, Projects, Papers, etc.

another thing that drives me crazy classes are divided. for example, Economic 1 has 2 courses. Marketing has two courses. So you end up taking more courses for the same amount of credits. and many are like that.

I still need 32 courses to graduate, instead of 15 or 16.

Anyways here are my courses, my questions are the following: 

1) Can I take other courses to accelerate before I start at UMPI in Study.com, SL or Sophia?
2) How important is Business Accreditation? UW Flex business program is AACSB, UMPI I believe it doesn't have any.

I don't think employers care too much at least my company doesn't care. They pay 100% if you go to SNHU, Excelsilior, CTU and a portion for DePaul University and I believe most of them are the other accreditation.

As a currently enrolled UMPI student, here is my advice. It looks like you're going for a business degree at UW. UMPI has several opportunities for business degrees including a BA in Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting, Project Management, and Management & Leadership. There's also a BLS (Bachelor's of Liberal Studies) with minors in Project Management, Accounting, Management, and Management Information Systems. 

https://online.umpi.edu/

At UMPI, you will be required to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. You will be required to complete the GEC (their gen eds). You will be required to complete a specific number of UL credits. This will vary based on your degree program. You will have to complete the majority of those credits at UMPI. You will also have to complete UL credits outside of the major/minor. No need to worry though. UMPI offers every class you need to complete all of their degrees. 

You asked about accelerating. That's a thing at WGU not UMPI. Why? At UMPI you move at your own pace. You have 8 weeks to complete as many courses as you can or want. Each term is 8 weeks long. There are 2 terms in a semester. We have 3 semesters so 6 terms. 

I recommend you start on Sophia as soon as you can. Below are the courses I recommend you complete at Sophia. I do not recommend taking any English or public speaking courses on Sophia. They're far easier at UMPI. Much less writing and can be completed significantly faster at UMPI.

Accounting
Ancient Greek Philosophers
Approches to Studying Religions 
Communication at Work
Conflict Resolution
Environmental Science
Introduction to Psychology
Introduction to Sociology
Introduction to Statistics
US History 1 & 2
Visual Communications

That's it. Then apply. The application is free. You'll just need to pay for your transcripts. 

At UMPI you'll still need an 80 on your Final Assessment to pass the course. There are quizzes throughout our courses but they are not factored into our grade. You will only have one actual assignment and that's the Final Assessment which varies from a written 3 hour exam to a paper or project. Some papers are 3-5 pages and others are 15-20 pages. It depends on the course. Feel free to send me a pm with any questions you have about UMPI. 

Thanks for your advice, question why would I take some of the courses you mention if I believe some of my courses already count as some of them. 

For example Social Environment, History 2, Dep 2000 and Philosophy. 

Thanks

The name Social Environment doesn't tell me what type of class it is - social science, science, etc. Same for DEP2000. You don't have a history course listed in your courses. You'll need history classes to fulfill the GEC reqs. I have no way of knowing if the philosophy course you took is the same as the Sophia course. You also need 40 credits of gen eds and then general electives to fill out the degree at UMPI. Sophia courses are cheap easy ways to do this.

Yes, that makes sense, many of those courses transfer at UW as social science, natural sciences and gen Ed so I’m expecting to be the same. 

Just sent the transcript I will also check again with SNHU and WGU
