UMPI YourPace Computer Science

[asianphd]

Whoa, I really excited about this! As an International student, it is very sad that I cannot apply to the WGU! So, thanks a lot UMPI! Love you!

Just a moment when I'm considering applying for a CS degree at my local university and now UMPI offering this degree at YourPace. Well, gonna prepare for it from now so I can rush on the curriculum really fast later!

When did you see that because I remember in January I emailed UMPI regarding a CS degree at YourPace and they said that it is in consideration for soon offering the CS complete online that why I did not consider to enroll because it was not available.
I went to their website and I did not see any info regarding UMPI is offering this degree online!

If you read the first post of this thread, the CS degree isn't due to be offered later in 2021 or early 2022. I think asianphd is getting ready to enroll as soon as it's available and pre-studying CS concepts to make the degree easier.

Yes, this is correct.

[gams007]

Yes, this is correct.

Some one has to send a transcript with all his computer science alternative courses to see what comes in at UMPI so we have a idea to make a study plan.
I'm one that would like to see I currently working on the BACS from TESU I'm currently taking 9 credits form a community college, I do not want to pay for another semester I can enroll at UMPI and take any course at my own rhythm, right now I'm attending zoom classes almost every day and I'm a busy person and it to hard to keep me on track. Most of the time I have to watch the zoom session while driving through my phone.

Judging by the attachment in the first post, I'd still prepare to go to TESU, as a lot of the requirements match / sync up. If UMPI does have their program live by the time you're getting ready to enroll in TESU to take your expensive capstone (and pay $6 grand) and UMPI hasn't announced it yet, take TESU or WGU.

If UMPI does announce it, you'd know when, and you've already prepared for a CS degree,so you'd have a lot of common overlaps. UMPI is pretty transfer credit friendly. They do outline what classes are needed in the attachment as well. They do require a lot of around the same level of classes for the most part.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Information and Data Management Concentration

Can anyone tell me what that actually is?  Is it like end user stuff.... or like creating software that does it?

[rachel83az]

Without seeing the list of courses, it's hard to tell. But I'm guessing that it's to prepare you to be a database manager.

Its probably more on networking and DB side of things,

Broadly speaking, it'll probably be this a mix and match of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_management
