UMPI BA in Psychology - PsychMomof2 - 07-24-2024
Hi all!
I am looking to return to school and finish my BA in Psychology. After researching the most effective and cost efficient way to do so, I’ve landed on Sophia/UMPI! I have a total of 71 credits already and I am having some trouble figuring out what remaining classes I can complete with Sophia before transferring to UMPI. Now from my understanding, I need to take 30 credits with UMPI directly. Leaving a total of 19 credits I can take with Sophia. I am looking for guidance or a point on the right direction on which classes I should take with Sophia.
The credits I already have are;
ENG 111 - Written Eng/Lit Studies - 3 credits
LLEE 111 - Liberal Arts Transfer - 3 Credits
LLEE - Liberal Arts Transfer - 3 credits
PSY 101 - Intro to Psychology - 3 Credits
SPAN 115 - Spanish for Communication - 3 credits
SPAN 116 - Communicating in Spanish - 3 credits
Hist 118 - Intro to African History - 3 credits
SOC 101 - Intro to Sociology - 3 credits
BHSC 366 - Medical Ethics - 3 credits
ENG 112 - written eng/lit studies II - 3 credits
PSY 207 - psychology of learning - 3 credits
PSY 237 - human sexual behavior - 3 credits
BIO 110 - intro to human biology - 3 credits
PSY 262 - Alcohol , Drugs & Behavior - 3 credits
SPAN 359 - Span Amer Black Literature - 3 credits
SPCM - Oral Communications - 3 credits
ENG 249 - American Gothic
FORL 233 - Comparative Romantic Literature - 3 credits
PSY 254 - child psychology - 3 credits
RELG 109 - Intro to religion - 3 credits
I appreciate all the help I can get!

You will need to complete the GEC so I would start with those courses on Sophia. There's quite a bit in the GEC you still need to complete. You need a Eng Comp 1 & 2, math, US Government, a lab science, a physical science - Intro to Chem with Lab would fulfill both of the science requirements, etc. What you've shared doesn't add up to 71 credits.

@PsychMomof2, Welcome to the board, great initial post to get the ball rolling, even though you missed the addendum and template, we have a basic understanding of your scenario. Usually, I get people to fill in those extra details, your best option right now is to follow through with the general education and electives for max transfer of at least 90+ credits into the degree program by following the degree plan on the WIKI. You need to create a spreadsheet using our recommendations and plans, then link us to your file on our google/one drive, make the link viewable (not editable), and we can review your degree plan...
