Sophia Equivalency? - Missled - 06-26-2025

So I'm messaging my Enrollment advisor, and he's saying I need these classes for my degree. Is everything Sophia business degree related for Sophia solely elective now or would any of these classes I'd be able to transfer as required classes? I'm hoping at least Sophia Bus321-> Umpi Bus343, Sophia Bus330-> Umpi Bus222, Sophia Bus353-> Umpi Bus336 are still applicable and not electives, so I can take them at Sophia and not Umpi, and maybeee Sophia Bus260-> Umpi Bus260 as well. Any insight on these? Thanks!

Sophia.org/Study.com equivalencies have changed, you can try other ACE options such as CLEP/MS, Coursera, Saylor.org, StraighterLine, etc, the main point is, all alternative credit should be used for general education and electives for UMPI, the major is where you want to complete the residency requirements...

Hey BJ, Thanks for always responding! So, all those listed I should just take at UMPI then? I looked at the transfer equivalency and I don't even think any of them have a true ace equivalent that doesn't make it an elective class besides Sophia's principle of management transferring as business 101, which I'm debating on taking to maybe lessen 1 class from that list. Also do you know the link for the yourpace discord by chance? I see everyone talking about it, but I can't seem to find it.

After the changes, that's what I would do... And for discord, try this channel or discussion: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-UMPI-transfer-database-update-5-1-2025?pid=439853#pid439853
