UMPI & Sophia

[portia8]

Yeah the GEC do seem a bit confusing and on a more case per case situation but I ver much appreciate the advice! In the opinion of those already attending UMPI am I nearing enough credits to apply? I've already finished Ethics and will hopefully be polishing off a few more in the upcoming week, should I then be able to start the application process or do you think I need to collect a lot more Sophia credits? Hope this question makes sense!

Yeah. The GECs aren't clear, and they seem to be adjusted depending on the type of degree in a way and applied differently depending on your credits. If you plan on enrolling in UMPI skip English Composition I & II, Public Speaking, and Foundations on Sophia. Comp I & II are much less work and much easier at UMPI. Public Speaking, you can substitute that with Communication at Work, etc. If you do all the non-touchstone classes at Sophia, you'd have about 60 credits left to do at UMPI, which isn't too shabby considering they're competency based and a state school.

Hmmm I see what you mean, that probably would result in me paying more at UMPI which is something if possible I would like to avoid. I really like the sound of finishing a Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Education in just one term as I'm personally funding my studies and the exchange rate is not kinda to South African currency but I do understand thats probably extremely unreleastic, though even two sessions shouldn't be to horrendous. I will try my best I guess in what I can do so long! Thank you for your help as always ! Also I think I recall someone mentioning something about a payment plan at UMPI but then something else about having to pay the full 1,400 before the session starts??
