Help planning Criminal Justice degree

[evanmonast]

I'm just a reservist so I have plenty of time now. Since my original post I have completed another 20 credits on Sophia.org to round out my 60 (made sure they met the BOG requirement for Pierpont) and I'm just kind of waiting around for them to accept me and send me the letter in the mail with my student login information. Until then I don't know what my options are except just keep going with Sophia until I get my associates so I have more credits to transfer over. 

Do you recommend COSC, Exelsior and TESU over UMPI for any reason other than they will accept more credits upon transfer? I will have no problem meeting the UMPI 90 credit limit without having to take any Sophia courses that require touchstones. I would only have 10 classes left at UMPI but if I only have to take 5 at another university it's certainly something I would consider.

Also, I do already have a two monitor setup and it's literally the only reason I haven't given up haha.

I think you might have to take one or two Sophia courses that have Touchstones for a UMPI degree. What you could do is start working on those. While waiting for grading on any Touchstones, head on over to Study.com and do Biology 101L and/or over to InstantCert to do Spanish I.

As far as I've seen I won't need to unless I'm way off the rails here. With my 37 credits from CCRI I will be bringing over 47 from Sophia all from courses that don't have touchstones but do apply to the Gen Ed requirements (Minimum of 40 Gen Ed credits required(I'm sure you know this)). 

The only Gen Ed categories I couldn't satisfy with Sophia are the Biology and Spanish courses you mentioned along with English Composition II which I've read is just easier to take at UMPI rather than Sophia. I should then just have 12 other remaining courses (13 if I do English Composition) at UMPI one of them being the University Experience course which I'd guess isn't too challenging. 

Again, maybe I'm way off here I literally have no idea what I'm talking about it took me like an hour of stressing out trying to figure out the difference between General Electives v. General Education
