UMPI Gen Ed Requirements?

[Claudia P]

I am working on Sophia courses so I can eventually apply to UMPI for a BABA with Management & Leadership concentration.  Wish I could apply for the August term, but don't think I'll be ready. 
I still have 6 Sophia courses to do, Biology with lab to do through SDC, American Govt through Instant Cert, and I have to CLEP out of Spanish.

I have a few questions:

1. I am taking US History I and Art History I at Sophia.
   Does UMPI require US History II and Art History II (like they do Micro and Macroeconomics) to meet their Gen Ed requirements?  I would rather take business classes if the II's are just going to come in as electives.
   
   
2. Also, Math is not my strong subject.  Do I have to take College Algebra and Intro to Statistics through Sophia, or can I just take math at UMPI?
   
   
3. I took Accounting Principles at community college in 1991 and got a C.  I'm thinking about taking Accounting on Sophia in case UMPI doesn't accept my old cc credit.  If they accept one, the other just goes toward electives, correct?  Or does UMPI sometimes refuse to accept old community college credit?
   

Thank you very much.

American Government is no longer offered from InstantCert. You can take this class at UMPI and finish it in 3 days with an easy A.

You only need 1 US history and 1 art history course for the GEC. If you take the second one then they will go towards your general electives. 

I would take the Math for Business class at UMPI. That's what you'll need for the BABA. 

UMPI will accept a class with a C for the grade. What college did you take the Accounting Principles course from? It may or may not transfer as Financial Accounting which is what you need for the UMPI degree. Sophia's course will transfer in for Financial Accounting.

1. You don't need US History II or Art History II.

2. If math isn't your strong subject, I'd say to do it at Sophia instead of UMPI. Sophia's is relatively easy and painless. UMPI might not be as painless. You will need both Algebra (Sophia) and Math for Business (UMPI) for a BABA.

3. If UMPI brings them in under the same course number and name, that would only be 3 credits total, none in electives. I haven't heard of them having issues with old CC credit, though.

You don't need algebra for the BABA. The Math for Business fills the math GEC for BABA students.

Thank you Rachel83az and ss20ts!
I didn't know American Gov't was no longer available.  Thanks for the heads up.  
I took ACC111 Accounting Principles 1 at Mesa Community College in AZ in 1991.
I understand now that I'll need both Algebra from Sophia and Math for Business from UMPI.  Will I need Statistics from Sophia, too?
Here is everything I've completed and plan to take in time for Oct 22 start date; would love to hear your suggestions or if I missed anything.  I am aiming for a Systems Analyst or Business Analyst position in the future.

The Math for Business is a fun class with decent scenarios in the quizzes and final assessment. I really enjoy math; however, with a proper level of common sense, you will be able to navigate the class with decent success.

Thank you so much.  I did very well in high school Algebra (back when dinos roamed the earth).  Then I tried College Algebra at my community college last year and had to drop (it moved so fast), so now I am completely intimidated by math.  I am looking forward to giving Algebra and Math a go once again.
