? help and/or confirmation requested - Slammyelis - 11-12-2023
Hello! Plenty of changes in my life and path since joining here in May of 2022. Such is the story of many of us, right?? I am hoping to get some validation that I’m on the right path as I stepped away from this to pursue a professional opportunity and it’s taking a minute to catch up and adjust to where I’m headed next.
I have completed the GEC requirements for UMPI BLS Mgmt Minor, in addition to 28 of 41 general electives credits through Sophia and two RA sources from the early 2000s. I believe I’m sitting at a total of 78 credits to transfer in as of right now.
The BLS Mgmt requires 6 courses, 2 of which I believe I have already satisfied at Sophia: Intro to Proj Mgmt & Business Communication (for PCJ215). If my calculations are correct, I have 14 classes left…42 credit hours, 30 of which will need to be taken at UMPI. That leaves me with 12 credit hours or 4 courses at either SDC or Sophia. I need help planning which courses to take please.
Of the 24 UL credit requirement for the BLS, I believe I have satisfied 3 credits through Business Law though I did see a post that this may not be coming in as UL anymore — can anyone confirm? Should I go ahead and knock out two more UL through Sophia with microbiology and business ethics? I would then have HR mgmt and Ops Mgmt to satisfy minor UL requirements to do at UMPI (and I believe need to do at least 6 UL courses at UMPI).
For the remaining UL, since the majority need to be completed at UMPI anyway, is there any need/benefit to doing some UL at Study, or would you advise that I stay with Sophia for more LL credit and go straight to UMPI in the new year?
I am a good writer and a decent test taker, so I don’t have a problem with either method though for courses that are simply filler as opposed to part of my area of focus (business, management, HR, leadership, marketing, ops, etc) I’m inclined to do whatever is easiest/fastest/cheapest and memorize to pass an exam vs write a thorough paper.
Hope that helps…would love to ideally finish in 2 terms or less in 2024!
Thanks in advance! (Also I’m posting on mobile and the formatting looks odd — apologies if it shows up that way on the viewing end as well.)
Directional advice desired, please. And thanks!

Hmm, you may want to review the WIKI plans and see what options are best for you to take, an option I would recommend is to complete the 3-4 classes for exemption to the MAOL, just in case you want to go that route. Basically, if you take the 3-4 classes, you can get exempted for 3 classes and take just the 9 of 12 for the MAOL at UMPI. Other than that, you can try getting a second minor for the UL requirements as the minors usually only have a few and not enough UL...

Thank you @bjcheung77 !
What’s the likelihood that I can request to complete a minor technically not offered in yourpace?
RE: ? help and/or confirmation requested - bjcheung77 - 11-13-2023
Really depends on the minor you're looking at, they may have minors available already, it just might not be on the Your Pace platform. If that's the case, you can take them through alternative credits or from other colleges and transfer them in. Reference Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-UMPI-Multiple-Minor-Inquiry
