  Advisor Question
Posted by: slreed - 02-13-2025, 10:40 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (17)

I received my welcome email from Chelsey Parker at UMPI on 2/6/25. All my transcripts have been evaluated and I can see all of that in my UMPI account. I have tried several times to schedule a call with Chelsey to no avail. But I actually don't even know if I need to talk with her. I need to talk with an advisor.

In my account under "Advisor" it says "none assigned". How do I get an advisor assigned to me? 

I really need to discuss my degree plan and register for the Spring semester. 

Also, I wanted to talk with the advisor about taking courses on Sophia learning and transferring those to UMPI. I didn't begin Sophia until after I had my other transcripts accepted by UMPI because I needed to see what requirements I would have remaining to fulfill in Gen Ed. I wanted to wait until I spoke with my advisor before beginning Sophia in order to explain my plan and make sure they were ok with it. But I want to take the Sophia courses before beginning the Spring term with UMPI. So I went ahead and began to take the courses. 

UMPI accepted 79 transfer credits. 

Here are the remaining Gen Ed credits needed and the Sophia Courses I plan to take to fulfill them:

2D Visual Communications (completed)
3A Intro to College Math (completed)
3B Statistics ***Do I need to take another Math course or can Intro to College Math fulfill both 3A and 3B?***
3D Chemistry ***I already have Bio with a lab so Chemistry without a lab should fulfill this requirement, right?***

30 credits remaining which will need to be fulfilled at UMPI:

21 credits in History ***I have fulfilled all of the basic LL History credits and 3 credits of UL History***
9 credits in Electives

Advice?

  How to get my AAS in Accounting to a BA
Posted by: mriern99 - 02-12-2025, 10:53 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (7)

Hello! I would love some advice.


(I’m sorry if any of this isn’t formatted correctly, I’m new to this forum, but I did some research and tried to format it appropriately.)

I'm nearly finished with an AAS  (Associate of Applied Science) degree in Accounting from a local community college, so most of my credits are from low level accounting and business courses. 

In hindsight I should have gone for the Associate of Arts, since the accounting classes I've taken aren't so transfer friendly, which I didn't realize at the time. Regardless, Ideally I would love to have my entire Associates degree transfer, and take advantage of the remaining transfer credits some colleges allow by taking classes from Sophia or study.com or something similar to max out the transfer credit maximum of the college that would take my credits. 
Or not, if someone has a better plan! I really don’t know what the best option is. I'm a little lost and worried that all my hard work might not have gotten me as far as I thought.

I’ve been looking at Excelsior University, because they have a generous transfer policy, but it’s hard to figure out what will apply towards my degree and what exactly I would still need. They require 30 high level courses that I don’t have, and they seem reluctant to give advice until I’ve applied and enrolled. 

Like others, I’m looking for the fastest, cheapest way to get my BA, while being able to use the credits I have from the community college. 
I would also like to leave the option open to eventually get a Masters in Accounting or business, because I need extra credits anyway in order to sit for the CPA exam, and it would be nice to have.

Timeline: I’m hoping for under 6 months to get my BA and under 2 years if I go for a masters. Really as fast as possible, but I also can’t do more than 5 hours a day of school work. I’ve been pretty successful at it so far but it’s hard to commit to a serious schedule with small children.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None


Notes:
-I’m comfortable with proctored tests but prefer unprotected. I love and do well working at my own pace without live classes like zoom.
-My GPA is currently 4.0 but might be a little lower after this semester.

  Best Excel or Word course completion template worksheet
Posted by: NapoleonInRags - 02-12-2025, 05:03 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Is there a place (site) that has a nice collection or free Excel or Word course completion template worksheets?

I'm currently not happy with mine and looking for a new blank one. The one I created is getting a bit messy and looks rather embarrassing.

Anybody want to share their blank one with me here? I'm sure the DF users have some great ones. 

Thank you..

  Is Multiversidad legit?
Posted by: jr2341 - 02-12-2025, 03:01 PM - Forum: Graduate School Discussion - Replies (17)

I'm not sure about a Mexican university called Multiversdad Mundo Real Edgar Morin, is it legit? In the website appears that they have RVOE (I understand that is a kind of accreditation), Apostille and US credential evaluation by California University FCE. Do you know something about that? I'm interested in one of his programs, but I'm not sure if this is legit or worth it. The only ranking that I found it that university is AD Scientific Index.

  Opinions: Bachelor of Arts vs Bachelor of Science (for Business and/or Marketing)
Posted by: fieldnotes - 02-11-2025, 05:20 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I'm deciding between three degrees, and I'm curious whether you've found any difference in career prestige between BA and BS degrees?

For context, here's what I'm deciding between: 

  • Bachelor of Arts Business Administration - Marketing 
  • Bachelor of Science - Marketing
    Bachelor of Science - Business Administration
My thoughts: 
  • Maybe UMPI's BABA-Marketing because it's got both Business Administration and Marketing in the title, win/win! But maybe Bachelor of Arts isn't competitive in tech markets because technology leans analytical/scientific?
  • Maybe WGU's BS-Marketing or their BS-Business Administration, because Bachelor of Science degrees lean technical?
  • Maybe BS because I'm in the San Francisco tech market? But maybe no one cares about the designation as much as they care about the degree topic and professional experience. 
Would love to hear your thoughts on the difference in career value for a BA vs a BS in tech.

Hey, my local community college is a Sophia partner; Does anyone know if its possible to transfer in Sophia courses, earn my associates at the CC, and then transfer to a state school that wouldn't usually accept ACE credits?

Thanks!
