Question about UMPI - Bm1992 - 01-23-2025
After you complete the residency requirement at UMPI can you transfer in credits and graduate with another degree? For example, I complete my first 30 credits at UMPI and graduate. Can I then go back to Study.com and complete all the requirements for another degree there and transfer in the credits? If so, is this limited to online/yourpace? Or can I transfer in credits and graduate with an In Person degree as long as I completed the residency requirement?

Once you graduate you will need to apply again for another degree. In the past, students were required to complete an additional 30 credits at UMPI for second bachelor's degrees. I went through this a few years ago, but they've changed some policies since then.
What do you mean by in person degree? Everyone earns the same diploma - on campus and in YourPace.

They have degree programs that are soley in person. I was under the impression after you complete the RA you can just transfer in credits and graduate with any further degrees.

I think you mean there are degrees that are not offered through YourPace. That's because they can only offer degrees that can be completed entirely through the YP platform. However, any degree can be completed through YourPace if you meet the requirements. For example, many students, including me, have completed the BAS. How you meet those requirements is the question. There are different modalities for different courses, so you may go attend in person and pay the in-person tuition, or you may attend an online synchronous course that is also in-person, if they offer it, or you can transfer courses from other schools, etc., etc.

Yes, other students have reported that they have completed the 30-credit residency requirement (not RA - RA stands for regionally accredited) at UMPI through YP to finish their first degree and then transferred all the courses for a second degree, re-enrolling and paying for another YP session, but not taking any more UMPI courses. This would appear to allow a broader range of degrees because students were previously required to complete some of the major courses at UMPI, the vast majority of which are not offered through YP.
Do you have a specific goal in mind? Which courses are you planning to transfer?

That leaves me with a semester off before I can start the MAOL. So, I was just thinking about doing some more Study.com courses. That or pick up another degree. Just unsure what my options are. Some of their programs are solely in person, so if I could transfer in the required credits for that degree from Saylor/Study and complete the degree my options would be more broad.(Yesterday, 11:45 PM)Bm1992 Wrote: They have degree programs that are soley in person.
