  Roadmap to UMPI BSc Psychology 2025
Posted by: flan_eur - 12-18-2024, 07:22 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (12)

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to bjcheung77 for the helpful advice shared on a previous thread I posted. Your insights were greatly appreciated!

Here is a bit of background about me:

  • Location: Europe
  • Age: 30
  • Desired Degree: UMPI BSc in Psychology
  • Current Regional Accredited Credits: A Bachelor’s + Master’s in non related topics (both earned in Europe - can I use them to transfer for the 35 general credits that I need?). Additionally, I have título propio credits in areas such as counseling and team leadership, though I’m unsure how feasible it would be to validate them through NARIC. Wouldn't mind to start from scratch. 
  • ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None at the moment.
  • Certifications or Military Experience: None.
  • Budget: $5,000.
  • Commitments: Full-time work and family responsibilities.
  • Study Time: Approximately 10 hours per week, though I’m willing to pause personal and professional obligations for a couple of months to make significant progress or potentially complete the program within that timeframe.
  • Timeline: Preferably by summer 2025, but definitely by December 2025.
  • Tuition Assistance: None available, so staying within budget is crucial.
While I’m quite familiar with the European education system, I am new to the American one. I consider myself a strong test-taker (better if they're not proctored  Angel ) and have experience with writing assignments.
I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any guidance:

  1. Recognition in Europe: Would this degree be recognized in Europe? Could it potentially qualify me to register as a fully licensed therapist in any European country? I’d love to hear about any similar experiences.
  2. Timeline: Would it be realistic to complete the degree within one or two sessions (YourPace) if I dedicate at least one session to full-time study?
  3. Degree Plan: I reviewed the UMPI BA Psychology Degree Plan, which seems very detailed and helpful. Could someone provide a beginner-friendly explanation of the typical roadmap? Am I correct in understanding that I should complete the Study.com and Sophia courses first, and then enroll at UMPI to transfer the credits?
  4. Residency Requirements: Does UMPI require any form of residency for the YourPace program? From what I understand, it does not, but I’d like to confirm.
Once again, thank you all for the invaluable information shared on this forum. I truly appreciate the efforts of the administrators and contributors who help guide newcomers like me.
Looking forward to your advice!

Best regards,

  Best path for interior design (NCIDQ exam) for bachelors in another field?
Posted by: spohara - 12-18-2024, 04:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

I'm looking for the cheapest/fastest route to the NCIDQ exam for interior design for someone with a bachelors degree in another field (no related credits).

From what I can tell so far the options are slim and mostly in person.  From what I see there is little difference in the credit requirements between the handful of "first professional" masters and bachelors degrees.  There don't seem to be any online masters and local would be tough (UNA is the only program close enough).  Any good way to hack these? Alt credits possible (I see nothing on SDC)? 

There is also theoretically a "certificate" option, but I am not sure these actually exist and meet the 60 credit requirement.

  BAS Management Minor Degree Plan
Posted by: shadow_gabe - 12-18-2024, 03:54 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (11)

Hello,

I'm just trying to get clarification on my degree progress report (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z8THML0...drive_link) and how should I plan to take my courses? 

I transferred in 169 credits from other schools, sophia and my AAS.

It says I have 18 upper credits that I need to fulfill, but I'm only counting 3 courses that are, 300 or higher on my degree progress report.

Additionally, I'm overall only counting 9 courses that need to be completed on the report, but to satisfy the residency requirement, I must take 10 courses.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Posted by: kakasahib - 12-17-2024, 10:16 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (9)

Hello Everyone, 
I am planning to complete the BA Computer Science Degree. I am NJ resident and live (will say 5 mins drive). 
I am more concern about the Discreet Math which i don't have in my current UMPI BLS Degree. Any suggestion that Study.com or cheaper other courses i can transfer?
I have completed UMPI BLS in IT and Project Management. 
I competed UMPI MAOL as well. 
The goal for me is to complete the Computer Science Degree. 
My all UMPI BLS Credits transferred from  Sophia which were around 121 where all the IT course (Intro ones)

Anyone has any suggestion? I can take Mercer county Discreet Math but its 4 month long and cost 192/Credit (almost $600) for 4 month. 

Thanks

  TESU BSBA Capstone Professors
Posted by: promise22 - 12-17-2024, 01:15 AM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (15)

Hi,

I passed my last exam for my BSBA yesterday Smile . I'm hoping to register for the BSBA capstone for the January term, so I'm trying to decide what professor to choose.

It looks like I have the option of doing the Guided Study with Professor Timothy P. Kenny or the Online with 
Dr. Sandra Mohabir-Mckinley.


I think I'd prefer to do the Online, but it doesn't look like there is a lot of info. on 
Dr. Sandra Mohabir-Mckinley - I wasn't able to find her on Rate My Professors. It looks Timothy P. Kenny has 4.6/5 rating on Rate My Professor. 


If anyone has any experience with either of these 2 professors, I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts on them. 

Thanks for the help!

  Just Graduated - English B.A. in 6 Months!
Posted by: e36374 - 12-16-2024, 11:23 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (3)

So grateful to this forum, I really couldn't have done it without the info here. I started the first week of May and finished up on October 28th. My degree was conferred on December 13th! Now I'm just waiting to get it in the mail Smile

For anyone curious, here's a basic rundown: I started with about 15 creds (3 from taking a class at my local university during high school, then 12 from one semester at brick-and-mortar college). Between CLEPs (totally free), Sophia, and SDC, I knocked out 90 credits. I took 9 creds at TESU. I was only planning to take SOS-1100 and the Capstone, but I ended up taking a third bc I had very limited options for UL non-ACE/NCCRS English classes. BYU Independent Study does offer two UL English classes, so those made up my final 6 credits. FWIW, I highly recommend BYU IS. Each 3-credit class was about $750 so less than half of a TESU class, and you can work through it as quickly as you want. I took about 3 weeks per class and they were my two favorite classes I took the whole time.

If you add my semester of brick-and-mortar college it's about 9 months but that was so long ago that it feels totally separate from what I did this year. And still very short all in all! 9 mos vs. 4 years traditional, and all for under $10k... can't beat it. Thank you all again.
