I've taken all of the courses for the MIS and Project Management Minors on YourPace and I know I am not at all prepared to join the land of IT except in project management. I am not prepared to work in databases, analyze analytics, or program. Yet, I've completed all of those courses at UMPI. The on campus courses are DRASTICALLY different than the YourPace courses. BUS141 which is Introduction to Project Management with Microsoft Project. is an entirely different course on campus. We never touch Microsoft Project in the YourPace version. In BUS245 Programming for Managers you don't actually learn how to program. You don't even learn a single language. Yes, your Final Assessment is creating a program with the instructions given but that class is a cluster f as my professor called it. Like I said, you're not really prepared for these things unless you already have experience or knowledge from outside of YourPace. You're not prepared to go from a school bus driver to a developer or DBA.
