UMPI YourPace
RE: Another Canadian Student - bjcheung77 - 10-19-2024
+1, I agree, you have to decide for yourself which program would be best for you... UMPI Your Pace has multiple degree options, I suggest the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience. Such as, more Coursera Certs to get you into Business/IT/PM, etc, UMPI BAS with a minor or two, plus the 4 classes that can potentially transfer into the MAOL later. Take your time to review posts, threads, WIKI and decide if a BAS to MAOL would work for you, you may consider the BABA PM & IS plus MAOL instead.
