Is there anything else I can be doing to get ahead on the other courses? Is there anything similar to Study.com where I can preview some of the content and attempt to get a head start?

Thanks for this! Do you have any idea when this replacement will occur?

2D is the GEC area HUM103 covers. HUM103 is an UMPI course which is leaving at the end of summer. There's already 2 options for 2D on YourPace aside from HUM103. There's an English Lit course and a graphic design course as options. Like I said before, there is NO Sophia equivalent.

From a quick glance, you have 13 courses left for the degree, you can transfer in a max of 3 more. I would suggest trying to complete those three before the session starts if at all possible by following the advice above.

BUS 489 - I avoided taking this course even though I had time and it would have meant completing a second concentration.

Obviously you need to take 10 courses through UMPI, so you likely don't want to take all of the courses listed here through Study.com...but there could be an argument for taking some of them if you have time and if the cost isn't a hardship.  For me, I took some courses I had less interest in through study.com - ungraded - which left me some room for some electives at UMPI.  This allowed me to take a few "easy A" courses at UMPI instead of courses i would have struggled to be interested in.

Thanks for this. Will be interested to see/hear what class eventually replaces HUM103 and if it's transferrable for future students.

Yes! There were a variety of factors. The lower cost was a big one, but the primary reason for going with UMPI was the name. It simply sounds like the most legit school out of all the schools that get discussed on this board - probably because it has the University of Maine system backing in its name.

This is incredibly helpful. I really appreciate your insight into what each of these courses will demand. I'm going to use this to plan out my semester. After taking all these classes recently, is there anything that you think I can do to get a jump on some of these UL BUS classes prior to the semester starting on 7/3? Or is that pretty much impossible?
