Hello!
I am looking at a Management and Leadership degree from UMPI. However, I was looking at seeing if I could combine it with an HR degree. I currently work in middle management for a vendor company at a hospital (literally have NO idea how I landed it) but I absolutely hate my job. I want another job in middle or upper management - potentially going for my PMP eventually. I LOVE onboarding and HR and management - just not this job.
When looking at the pre-reqs it looks like I still need:
Engl Comp ii
US Govt
A&P1 Lab
Sociology
US History ii
Spanish i
I do also have study.com as well.
Thank you so much!

Basically, continue getting credit through Sophia.org OR Study.com, not both at the same time. It's a waste of a subscription if you don't put all your efforts into one subscription at a time. Anyways, you can transfer a max of 90 credits from alternative credits to go towards the general education and electives. 30 credits are for residency purposes, I suggest the BBA M&L concentration for you...

Another cost effective option is CLEP testing with vouchers from modernstates.org, using the equivalencies for UMPI:
