History degree questions

[carebear_007]

Hi all,

I am considering getting my degree in history, but I'm a bit concerned about the speed at UMPI.  I feel like I'm not going to learn the material well, and really get to delve into it like I would if I went to a "regular" school.  So I guess my question is, how much am I actually learning?  Am I going to be racing through and skipping important things in order to finish the course quickly and move on?

Also, will they accept other history courses to be transferred in?  Like, if I had some previous UL history credits, will they take them in the major, or do they want these specific courses only?

My opinion is if you want to learn something new, then CBL is not the right path. The reason why most end up racing through and not having to dive too deep into a particular course is because they already have vast experience in it. For me, it would be great to have a different degree other than what I've been doing for the past 20 years. But doing that would not be feasible given the time constraints in my personal life. Plus it's also more important for me to have a degree which I know I could get using going the competency based route.
