Residency Required Hours

Does UMPI also waive the 31-32 credits of general electives for a second bachelor's degree? If so, you might only be able to take courses that count toward the concentration's requirements.

The general electives are typically filled by your first bachelor's degree.

You have to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. Do you know if your degree transfers in as a full bachelor's degree? If UMPI accepts your bachelor's degree as a bachelor's degree then you're waived from the GEC. If not, then you're not waived from the GEC.

I'm looking for a degree audit for the History & Poli sci degree.

This may help you. It should at least give you an idea of where to start with the UL courses.

Yes, I know I have to complete 30 credits from UMPI but my question is can they be ANY 30 credits (as long as I have met the requirements for the History concentration in some other way)? 

As I said, I don't know how many electives I'll be able to use from my BSc, however, I'm very confident the GEC will be waived.

Last week, I spoke to an employee at UMPI (not the YourPace enrollment counselor) and we discussed my BSc that is from Canada and she said she didn't see any reason why it wouldn't waive the GEC (she was familiar with the university I attended as it is only a few hours on the other side of the border from UMPI). 

The link you provided goes to the Political Science concentration requirements, however, am I am doing History so I have been using this link -> http://catalog.umpi.edu/preview_program....turnto=119 to determine which courses I need.

I am not sure about this. I am inclined to say no because the lady at UMPI I spoke with did not tell me those would be waived. That said, I have 158 credits from my prior degree so I expect some of those will count towards general electives, I'm not sure how many yet thought.

That link is the previous catalog. This link is the current catalog for the History program. You have to complete some Poli Sci for it.

If your bachelor's degree is accepted then you're waived from the GEC and most of your general electives if not all will be filled by your first degree since it's in something completely different. The majority of the history program and the required UL's must be completed at UMPI like I said before. 

When I did my second bachelor's degree at UMPI, I was only waived from the GEC. I had to complete the major and concentration requirements. I didn't have room for anything outside of the major. You really need to do most of the major at UMPI. That's an UMPI requirement. If someone has their YourPace degree audit they can show you where the requirements are with regards to UL. 

If you have 158 credits then you only have the history major courses remaining. Do you have 2 semesters of a language? 

You might want to wait and see what they accept and what your degree evaluation looks like before making any plans. It's a bit different when you already have a degree.
