You'll also need a science-with-a-lab for UMPI. I see several science courses but I don't see one that has a lab. The cheapest/easiest way to do that is Biology 101L from Study.com, but it appears that almost any science will do as long as it's 4 credits. 3 credit science courses don't count.
ICC credit will probably be faster than Study.com. But ACTFL will certainly be faster/easier, since you can get up to 12cr for it if you're fluent in any of the many languages they offer, and get that in like 30 minutes. CLEP, if you're fluent, will also work for Spanish, German, or French (not Italian).

Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely doing a UMPI BABA in Marketing, and I'm currently working on redoing my spreadsheet. Does anyone happen to have a mock up UMPI degree plan that outlines the general business electives a bit better? I saw the one that fast tracks you to your degree, but it seems like it's a very specific route to take, whereas I'm trying to organize it by category so I can figure out where to place the courses I've already completed, then backfill with Sophia. The English course in question was done back in 2018.
Tab 1 on my spreadsheet is where I am at the moment. Thanks again for all the help.
Thanks again!!!

Well, Damn.
Here are the instructions:
General Education Curriculum
Fulfilling the Gec: The University of Maine at Presque Isle’s General Education Curriculum (GEC), consists of 22 learning objectives organized under five General Education Learning Outcomes (GLO’s). To complete the GEC, select at least one course for each objective.
My problem: GLO 1 (Effective Written & Oral Communication) Learning Objective B lists ENG 121 (only option), while GLO 2 (Critical & Creative Thinking) also only has one learning objective in Objective C, which is ENG 121.
How do I select one course for each objective, when there are solo duplicate courses in two different GLOs? -___-
So... I'm officially stuck now at GLO 2; Objective C -- am I taking this too literal, or something?

Email your advisor, I think just one course is required and can be used in multiple field requirements (similar to COSC where a course can double dip the requirements, but you still need to make up the courses). You just have to make up the number of credits to total 120. Again, email your advisor or the dean/director for details on what can/can't be done.

One class can cover multiple competencies. ENG 121 covered GLO1b, GLO2c, and GLO4b for me.
MSML, WGU 2022
BAS, UMPI, 2021
AAS, Pierpont C&TC, 2021
ACE (119): Sophia, 93; TEEX, 5; SDC, 12; ACTFL, 6
RA (50): ASU, 8; ONU, 3; UMPI, 39
NA (16) : UoPeople, 16
Other: ENEB/Isabel I, MBA (2021)
Also dropped a gazillion of classes!!

I'm sorry if this is obvious, what is an RA credit? I've been out of the researching phase for a while.

RA - regional accreditation
There's also NA - national accreditation
Different accreditation bodies are different levels.

RA is Regional Accreditation, and congrats on the move up to Account Manager! For some reason I had a hunch...

As already stated, RA is regional accreditation/regionally accredited. NA would be national accreditation/nationally accredited. RA & NA only apply to colleges and universities. Alternate credit such as CLEP exams, Sophia, StraighterLine, and Study.com are not and will never be either RA or NA.
