If you're going with UMPI, don't take English Comp from Sophia/SDC. UMPI is much easier and faster!

American Government at UMPI is a piece of cake! It can be completed in 3 days. I wouldn't pay to take it at Study. I'd prefer getting an easy A in my GPA. I would take English Comp at UMPI as well. Each one is 1 paper at UMPI. BUS359 hasn't been offered in awhile and was not open to everyone back when it was offered.

Hey tb1109, basically depends on your situation, it may be a good idea to provide more details by filling in the template and last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works
Everyone will have different ideas on getting the 10 courses at UMPI, depending on your budget, commitments, energy, time, etc. If you have the energy, money, time, then I would suggest keeping the plan "as is" and complete the HUM103 at Study.com or UMPI if you don't want to... If you have more cash, energy, time, then you may want to add courses at UMPI too, like a double major or concentration.
Side Note: Just make sure to have about the max of 10-11 courses to take at UMPI, if you can transfer in different courses that may be easier, do so to exchange harder courses at UMPI, such as the English I & II courses as mentioned. Again, it really depends on your preferences. A mix/match approach to balance every course by number of assignments, assessments, or exams. If you like writing, great, take more with those, if not take less...
