I aim to complete my BA at UMPI and am in search of a straightforward course roadmap for a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Management & Leadership at UMPI. I'm already acquainted with Sophia and study.com, and I'm currently enrolled (I've also applied for UMPI spring term 2 already and awaiting confirmation). While I've explored the degree forum wiki, I'm struggling to determine the optimal class sequence and could use assistance in understanding how my previous credits contribute. My ultimate goal is uncertain, as I'm contemplating either attending law school or pursuing opportunities in tech, specifically in cybersecurity and cloud security. However, my immediate focus is on finishing my General Education Curriculum (GEC) and acquiring a minimum of 90 transfer credits by the second term of spring. Any advice would appreciated.

@cylent, Welcome to the board, review this thread and follow the exact same steps I mentioned in both the post #2, post #4. For the last few people today that asked about UMPI, I've been pointing them to this thread and getting them to do the addendum, spreadsheet, etc. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ing-degree

Yes, it does look nicer with everything complete. My suggestion still remains the same for you, follow the post #4 in that link, I recommend the mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience. You should do the exact same, cheapies & freebies certs that have ACE credit towards the degrees, Pierpont BOG AAS with Info System emphasis, ladder that to the BAS MIS minor, add 3-4 classes that will go towards the MAOL...
