Help Please with BLS minor Educational Studies transfer - Linz - 01-23-2024
Your Location: California, United States.
Your Age: 43
What kind of degree do you want?: I’m leaning towards a BLS with an Educational Studies minor at UMPI. If there is something else I can do faster, I’m open to it. I’m also open to a second minor if it’s only a 2-3 more classes.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: none
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: Just a full time job
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish within 6 months.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Student loans would be fine. If not and it’s under $5k, I’ll put it on a credit card.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Sophia credits: 91

Is there anything I’m missing or that doesn’t count. Any classes I should still take at Sophia?
Thank you!

Welcome to the board, that's a great set of Sophia.org classes you've completed already! Apply, transfer all your credits, and review the WIKI plans here to decide if you want to add a second minor in something you're interested in: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

From what I can tell, a 2nd minor is more classes then I'll want to take. Can you confirm that this would be enough at UMPI to finish just the BLS w/ Educational Studies minor?

Those are the 10 minimum you need, but I can see you don't have enough Upper Level, that's when I tell people to do a second minor, or the classes that can work towards the MAOL. It's personal preference, I think there was a change recently and they don't really look at that as long as you have enough upper level within the entire degree.

Am I right in thinking I need 5 more UL classes?
If I took:
Sophia: Business communications
Business Ethics
and
Study.com: Change Management
Leadership
Human Resource Management
Operations Management
Would that fill the UL requirements and give the minor in Management?
Or if I just pick 5 random UL classes would that complete the requirement for just the BLS with Education minor?
Thank you again

RE: Help Please - UMPI Degree Plan - bjcheung77 - 02-19-2024
Apply, transfer your credits over, wait for evaluation and see what they have as remaining credits...
It's a waiting game right now until you apply and send them everything they need for evaluation...

Are you getting a degree for job reasons? A "check the box" as ppl call it?
If so, just submit what you have to UMPI. Looks like you're good to go. Anticipate taking 2 terms to complete; still a great value and within your budget and time. You can't go wrong if you follow the wiki; no matter what, you'll have to complete 10 classes. It's just that UMPI is a hassle when it comes to actually getting started, so expect a wait.
They have a "pre-law" minor that looks interesting too.
