Just completed my 1st Sophia Course for UMPI - Spg_2011 - 06-17-2021
Hi Friends!
I stumbled across this site some time ago and had been amazed at all the learners finishing degrees or starting a new one! I've finally taken the plunge and have begun to chip away at the course on Sophia for a transfer into UMPI. It was a pleasant surprise to have received my first touchstone back so quickly. I submitted it this morning! pass with 87% in Ancient Greek Philosophy.
I haven't decided on the major at UMPI, so I'm following the finalized plan for the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration – Management & Leadership Concentration, although I'm more partial to the BLS - Educational Studies.
There aren't enough words to thank you for sharing you knowledge and motivating others!

The first step can be one of the biggest you take, and keep on keepin' on!

Congrats on your first course done!
You might want to complete more Sophia courses than listed for the BABA degree. The BLS degrees have more electives that can be filled with Sophia courses.

Congrats, you don't really need to rush in deciding the degree. Slowly take the courses you need that will fit both, since it's all coming from Sophia.org anyways. You can decide when you have X credits in the bag, you don't have to decide right way, continue onward with earning those Sophia courses my friend...

Ethics and Greek Philosophy are very similar in concepts.
The hardest part is getting started. People usually know by the time they do 2-3 courses if they want to complete their degree.

Hey there!
Thanks to Sophia, SDC, InstantCerts, & Straighterline (also with the help of some credits from CC like 12 years ago) I'm now left with 6 upper level electives (plus English 2 and some creative writing class) to complete my BLS with Management minor (and then I'll have to take 2 more unnecessary random classes for residency purposes)
Anyhow-- Those who have taken UL courses at UMPI, are there any that you recommend or do not recommend? Jessica said she'd give me a list to choose from but I thought I'd reach out here to see if anyone has suggestions. I start July 5 and PRAY I can work my rear off and get it done in 8 weeks.

I responded on your other post. There are new classes coming with the new concentrations so you'll have more options than we did.
