A few questions to current/past students

[KSoul]

Excuse me for opening threads everywhere but I'd like to explore my options as much as possible 

I'd like to know everyone's experience at UMPI.
Like how hard is the coursework?
How much writing is involved? (I'm looking at the business degree in marketing specifically if it matters)
Are there exams?
How responsive is the staff once you're enrolled? Do they waste your time?
If anyone set up a payment plan, how does that work? Since terms are 8 weeks, is is a 50-50 split or can it be more?

Any and all help/details would be much appreciated!

Most classes have a paper. In the BABA program they're typically 5-8 pages. In the Marketing Concentration, there are some that are 10-15 and 15+ pages. There are a couple of classes with projects and a few exams depending which courses you complete at UMPI. I believe there are less than 5 exams in the entire BABA major. 

Staff is very responsive. Summer is a bit tough because the campus is on summer hours. So they're open fewer hours a day and closed Fridays. Lots of vacations. 

The payment plans for YourPace you'd have to check with Financial Aid about. I believe they were $700 a month plus a fee.

For being such a small staff, the response time is pretty impressive. There doesn't seem to be a weak link in the mix. I even had a cool conversation with IT after an error with some sign-in details. Long after the ticket was closed, they called multiple times until we connected to triple-check that all was in place and good to go. I feel those little details (+cost value)  will continue to move UMPI up the ranking in this forum. Even though my father has zero value in another degree outside of the adventure, he joked that if they had an MS in Psychology, he would also jump on the train.
