I'm not sure how you reached 22 required courses... as the 8 UL plus the 7 remaining would be 15, and that is really what your first impression of 14 courses are. Unless you have completed a few of the courses from UMPI already, I don't know how you reached the 22 number.I've already completed almost 7 courses so far. It seems to be misunderstanding on my part, I did post my transcripts in the forum and was given an estimate of 14 courses, I.e 42 credits left to complete by members of the forum. But it seems I was mistaken. I transfered in the majority of the courses offered by Sophia. I'll hopefully be able to work through the remainder during the next session.
How many courses did you transfer over to UMPI and which degree are we looking at? They allow up to 90 credits into your degree program, the remaining 30 must be from them, so if you can find courses to transfer in before you start, then you'll know which remaining 10 can or must be done through them.

Oh weird, I thought it would be that they would give you an evaluation that's non-official, and then you can work towards other courses first (transfer up to the 90 credits), then enrol with them when you want to (similar to WGU). In the case of WGU, they won't allow you to transfer any more courses if you have started enrollment.

UMPI is very different than WGU and how it works! There is no unofficial eval. You get your evaluation and then you're apparently enrolled immediately. If you want to transfer in additional courses, you need to get permission. It doesn't seem to be that difficult to get permission but I guess you need a good reason.

This is quite the shock as I was under the impression I only had 14 courses to complete in total with UMPI but it now seems it'll be closer to 22. Any recommendations on what upper electives to pick to get them done efficiently?You should have received a degree audit that shows your degree program, what is completed, and what is outstanding. You can also find this info in Mainestreet>>My Academics>>Academic Requirements. Are you getting your info about the number of classes remaining from one of those sources?
Oh, if you are not yet enrolled, you will be able to see your requirements in those places once you are enrolled.

I agree with freeloader go to mainestreet and show us any requirements you're missing.
I Think because you're doing Liberal Arts you have a ton of elective credits to do, but Sophia.org targets a lot of gEC, which doesn't always apply to electives.
Also check your Transfer report to see if anything you transferred didn't make it to your degree audit. Mainestreet > My academics > Transfers
RE: YourPace Easy Elective Courses? fastest completion - portia8 - 04-21-2021
I posted all of audits on the UMPI & Sophia thread back in Feb. My audit said I had completed 78/120 credits, leaving a remaining 42 to complete or 14 courses. Today when I was discussing my degree progression with Jessica I was instead informed I still have 8 electives to complete additionally, this is directly from Jessica. I've already completed almost 7 courses with UMPI, I had hoped to be finished in 2 sessions but it seems that will not be the case thanks to that tiresome BIo requirement.

BUS 125 is just how to use word, and spreadsheets.
BUS 321: Human Resource Management is a multiple choice exam that's on the easier side.
Do you feel comfortable with basic French or Spanish? French I or Spanish I are easy and the professor is really nice. She's super involved and dedicated.
DO NOT TAKE HUM 103, or the Computer IT classes, they have really long finals.

What could be taken instead of Hum 103, anything outside of umpi
RE: YourPace Easy Elective Courses? fastest completion - ashkir - 04-22-2021
If HUM 103 is required, take it. If you don't have to do it, skip it. I found no equivelent.

The math requirements vary depending on which degree you're pursuing. Everyone is required to have Eng Comp.
