My Transfer Plan - Please Advise

[larabell]

Hello, All. 


Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I came across this forum while I was in the process of applying to WGU without any college credits (only a 4 on the AP English exam from high school). Since browsing these pages I have learned so much, and now I think UMPI would be a better fit for me. I would like to apply for the Bachelor in Liberal Studies with the Education Minor. 

I have always stayed home with my children and due to my lack of education I felt stuck in that role, but now that they are old enough to go to school, I also really want to work. I think I would enjoy a support role in the school system, which is why I chose the education minor. Initially, I felt like earning my degree was hopeless, but since learning about competency based education, everything suddenly feels possible. 

Using the information I gathered here, I made this plan, but I am hoping someone with UMPI experience could review it to see if you have some different suggestions. I have already gotten started with Sophia and have been able to complete about a course a day. (So far I've finished Algebra, Communication at Work, and Environment Science)

I hope to finish these courses in time to be able to begin at UMPI in July, transferring in as many of the 90 credits as possible. Being able to finish my degree soon is more important to me than reducing the cost. I will be eligible for Pell Grants for UMPI. This degree could change everything for me. I can't begin to express how grateful I am for all of the information you have shared.
