There aren't as many electives for business degrees. Instead of enrolling at UMPI in January and completing in 2-4 months, you might have to enroll in March and complete in 4-6 months. Still very fast, though!
Yes, GEC means General Education Credits. Most GEC requirements can be met through Sophia.org.
UMPI does accept credits from both Study.com and Sophia.org. They are easier to deal with than some of the other schools here. Yes, UMPI is accredited. It is part of the University of Maine system.
GEC actually stands for General Education Curriculum.
It's the gen ed portion of the degree requirements at UMPI. General electives make up a very small portion of business degrees and can be anything from science to culinary courses. The best thing to do is pick a degree and then see what you need to complete that degree. Take the lower level courses on Sophia - EXCEPT English Comp! Do NOT take any English classes on Sophia. Take them ALL at UMPI. MUCH faster, easier, and shorter at UMPI.
