RE: UMPI Degree Planning Advice - Course Requirements - bjcheung77 - 01-03-2024
When you look at the classes on the WIKI, if it has any requirement fulfilled, it's good for each one, both, or more requirements. What people always get confused on are the requirements, they're always looking at 'double dipping' with COSC/UMPI. I tell people always to look at the total number of courses, you need 40+ courses/120+ credits to meet the requirements as some classes can be used for multiple requirements. Thus, when you create your spreadsheet template, you'll know you have 40 classes total and you verify each one is filled by reviewing each requirement on the WIKI, it's that simple, people don't understand that or how that works. Voila, Ta da!

At UMPI, one course can fill multiple requirements. But only 1 course can fill each requirement. For instance, let's say that you took College Math, Algebra, Statistics, Precalculus, and Calculus from Sophia. In the GEC requirements, there are 2 slots where these can fit. Depending on what other classes you transfer in, math would account for only 3 or 6 credits in your GEC, even though you have 15 math credits.

So would this document be accurate? I organized the courses by colors. The colors associated to the cells basically mean that the cell that has a filled in an additional learning objective; for example English Composition 1 fulfills the 1A learning objective. English composition also fulfills the 1D learning objective as well so I made any cell that can be covered by English Composition green. So my understanding is that English Composition 1 covers both learning objectives 1A and 1D simultaneously.
Just for a second example, I have Introduction to Ethics on there as well. According to the Wiki, that course satisfies the 2A, 2B, 4C, and 5D requirements so I made all the cells associating with Intro to Ethics yellow showing that I do not have to find a course for those objectives since the one course covers all four. Is this correct? Thank you in advance.

Just took a look at the link you sent, it seems like my understanding of the GEC and learning objective requirements line up as the spread sheet I made lines up with some of the courses on there more or less. Thank you
