UMPI Application Question - Bubblywater - 04-13-2025
Good Afternoon, maybe I missed this but I believe I'm ready to apply. I submitted information to your pace to start the application. But I wanted to start getting my ducks in a row as well. Obviously I know how to get my High school Transcript, but how do I get Sophia credits ready to trasnfer? I swore I read a article on it but I can't find it.
Little information about myself, yes just a copy and paste from a post i made a little bit ago.
Good Afternoon, I read a bunch of content and I guess I want validation/verification before I start on my journey in some aspect or another.
First thing first....
Your Location: North Carolina
Your Age:35
What kind of degree do you want?: Not leaning one way or another, I was looking at liberal arts/studies with a minor in project management
Budget: 35 year old, i've done well in my life. So not stressed about money
Commitments: I travel for work acting as a Project Manager. I do plan review, but have a lot of down time in hotels
Dedicated time to study: I would say 4-5 hours a day, weekends all day. No kids.
Timeline: Honestly no Timeline, but i'm a big pusher just to get things over with. I don't procrastinate till i'm almost done with something lol.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I haven't looked in to it.
I've been pushing Sophia a lot, and per Sophia I have 122 credits. I've been following Plottedpath guide for a degree in Bachelor of Liberal Studies In Management and Project Management.
I can make a spread sheet on the classes I took if anyone wanted to verify infomation. But if not then I just used Plottedpath and highlighted the items green as I did them.

Ideally, you should try to transfer as many credits as possible so that you only need to take 10 courses (30 credits) at UMPI. If you're close to that and approaching the deadline for the UMPI term to start, sometimes it's better to begin the term rather than wait for the next session.

If you have a spreadsheet, how close are you to completing the BLS project management?

Yes, get more than the 90 credits you need for transfer from Sophia.org if you're wanting to max the transfer of credits. You just need 30 credits at UMPI for residency purposes. Your previous thread for reference and review: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Degree-Questions--49059
