UMPI Evaluation - BSBRose21 - 05-17-2022
I am trying to decide which option to go with - TESU or UMPI
Here is my evaluation for UMPI. Since this was completed I did finish American Government from InstaCert.
I am not set on the minor in Management.
Thoughts?

You have more classes you can complete on Sophia and transfer them to UMPI. Most people complete their BLS in 1-2 sessions at UMPI. Don't know what program you're comparing it to at TESU. You could complete your degree faster at UMPI and for less money if that is a concern.

Which Sophia classes would I be able to add in to the evaluation?
I would like to complete it as fast as possible - money is not as big of a concern.

Doing a little search-fu I came up that the OP is considering the BA in Liberal arts at TESU and you had more than enough RA credits already.
In this thread, the OP stated that money is not a concern.
In terms of time, the quickest you can graduate from TESU is mid-December of 2022.

For UMPI, maybe you could start 08/29/22 and graduate around November 1st if you could do UMPI in one session. Otherwise, your graduation would be towards the end of December 2022.

Early July start date may still be possible.

If OP has 7 courses to do yet, it may be close.
I need more info before I can make a firm prediction and put my hat on the line

What you could do is do 5 courses, then take the remaining 14 at UMPI over 2 sessions. This way you could make the early July start date.
You would need something like:
American Govt
Biology w/lab
Spanish
Environmental Science
History
How good is your Spanish? Have you studied it before?
I suggest doing America Govt at InstantCert since you need that course for either UMPI or TESU. By the time you finish American Govt, you can decide which school you want to attend.

Business Law on Sophia also wasn't bad for me. I drew out the touchstone longer than it needed to be but if I focused on it like I should have it would have been done in 1-2 days. It took them 3 days to grade.

@BSBRose21, Learner Over-Look, you're just showing us one side of the picture... where's your newest evaluation from TESU so we can compare what courses are required for both. For example, if you need the same 5-10 courses at both institutions, finish those first from InstantCertCredit, Sophia.org, or whatever provider that has it... then compare the remaining 10 courses at UMPI vs the last 16 credits at TESU (assuming you are looking at taking courses vs paying the residency waiver fee).
