I chose it because Wikipedia says biology fulfills the 3C requirement and chemistry fulfills the 3D requirement

Have both of these expired?

Don't know if both expired. I know the one that transfers in for BUS440 has expired.

Yes, make sure you have the 10 residency classes at UMPI, you can transfer more credits if you want a better balanced mix/match of certs, degree, experience, it's just that those extra credits won't go into the degree as the degree will only accept 90 transfer, many people transfer more than the required 120 and finish at UMPI.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been working in IT for 3 years, with a total of 4 years of work experience. For a promotion at my current job, I need a degree, but these certificates take around 6 months each to complete. Given my time constraints, are there faster credit alternatives for these courses, or would it be better to take them at UMPI?

Coursera certs don’t really need to take 6 months. I think that estimate is based on a learner with no work experience and an average level of motivation. You can accelerate. The Google ones took me about a month each. I could’ve gone faster if I spent more time on them.
