Residency Required Hours

[bjcheung77]

The majority of the UL courses in a degree do not have to be completed at UMPI, nor do the majority of the thirty courses have to be in the major.  UMPI has three residency requirements for this degree.
1. Thirty credits at UMPI
2. Of those thirty credits, twelve must be in the major.
3. Of the twelve credits in the major, nine must be upper level.
That mean that, assuming you have met all other requirements elsewhere, you could take four (12 credits) history or pol-sci courses (with three [9 credits] being upper level) and six (18 credits) random elective courses. Hope that's helpful!

In addition to this... There are discrepancies with each degree you go with at UMPI, there is really no "set" requirement except for 30 credit residency. This is because of the degree requirements and the upper level credits you transfer in differ from each degree you select. Here are two other examples.

BAS: The student must take at least 30 credits of his/her BAS coursework at UMPI, 12 of which must be in a selected minor and 18 of which must be upper level courses (300-400). These 18 upper level credits taken at UMPI may be taken as part of the GEC, the minor, or as elective credit.

BLS: There are four components to the degree:
➤ The student must meet the University’s General Education requirements worth 40 credits.
➤ The student must select a minor from offerings in the current UMPI catalog.
➤ A minimum of 24 credits of the electives for the BLS degree must be in the 300-400 level courses.
➤ A minimum of 30 credits of the BLS coursework must be done at UMPI.
