Which degree program are you considering? What are you transferring in? I can tell you that UMPI isn't extremely difficult in my experience. I took 4 courses in my first term and 8 in my second term (I took 7 weeks to complete the 8 courses not even the full 8 weeks). A term is 8 weeks long. It is all competency based and you are 100% on your own schedule. You just need to complete 2 courses each term if you're a full time student. I find this set up much easier than hunting all over for courses and hoping they get accepted by the school. I also don't have to worry about the UL reqs because UMPI offers every course needed to complete each degree. UMPI is pretty generous with transfer credit too. You can apply for free and see what they say about your transcripts also.

I was planning to go for ComSci and Psychology degree and Associate in Math with TESU but it will cost around 7 000$. UMPI will be cheaper if i work full time on it . I will probably finish in 2 terms. The only disadvantage is amount of writing it will include. English is not my 1st language so academic writing in big quantity is a challenge

UMPI doesn't offer any of those degrees.

If UMPI did offer CS, I probably would go there instead of TESU.
RE: UMPI - Cofffeee - 12-13-2020
It would be a gift if they did. UMPI had psycology major. But its not there anymore. It could be MIS, project Management and Leadership minors for me with the current degrees offered

On campus they don't even offer a CS degree. They received a federal grant and in January about a dozen students will start the new on campus CS program that's offered as a combo between 2 University of Maine schools. The learning platform that UMPI uses doesn't offer a CS degree as far as I can see. I've done some research on the learning platform and it looks like they already offer all of the bachelor's degrees the platform offers. It's not their own platform like WGU. It's also a VERy small school with about 1,400 on campus students in normal times.

I haven't seen a psych degree from them over the last year. There is a BA in Business Administration with a Project Management or Management and Leadership concentration and a BLS with a Project Management, Management Information Systems, or Management minors. In January, the new MA in Organizational Leadership begins.

They accept ACE and CLEP. You must complete 30 credits at UMPI.

Were you able to work on transfer credits and add them into your degree after you had already started a session at UMPI? I'm still taking outside courses aiming for the TESU degree, but to be honest I'm also looking at UMPI as an option.
