Most people have to take more than 10 classes at UMPI due to the GEC requirements. The OP doesn't have the required English courses either so those will need to be completed at UMPI. There's that UL requirement to worry about as well.
So between rachel86az and I, we suggested that the OP use ICC/Sophia/CLEP/Study.com to get the GEC completed (except Comp 2 which he/she should do at UMPI); and then do 7 UL courses in the major. There is only 1 UL course they are planning on doing through Study.com (CJ 305: The Juvenile Justice System), and then some electives.
So I'm confused on why you are not wanting him/her to do electives via free CLEP exams (on courses they've taken in the past) for electives? What are you suggesting instead?
Pretty sure I gave my opinion. I'm an alumni so I am VERY familiar with the GEC and the general electives. Many people FAR too many courses expecting them to transfer and they don't. There's only so much room for general electives. Why waste time and money completing 133 credits when a degree only requires 120? Focus on what is required and whatever you want for your own enjoyment do after you complete the degree. With the plan the OP has, they are missing quite a bit in the GEC.
