How is the UMPI experience?

[HappyPeanut]

@HappyPeanut, your focus should remain at completing more Sophia.org courses until you get to roughly 90 credits.  You can then shift that focus on Study.com courses, the Sophia.org/Study.com combo is exactly what you need, I would skip any other provider for now.  

In regard to the language requirement, I recall you're in the US wanting to teach in Asia.  What languages do you know other than English? If you're fluent or proficient in a language already, you can take the ACTFL for that language and get credits for a certain level you test at...

Last but not least, you need at minimum 30 credits completed at UMPI, if you're going for the BABA you'll have enough required already, you need to know which concentration you're going for, review the degree plans on the WIKI: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

Thank you for your reply. Yes i am working to finishing more courses at Sophia. I'm surprised on how fast time flies. Ive been working on these classes and getting closer to my goal.

Yes, I also can speak mandarin. I am at intermediate level. I was looking at the actfl website but it feels too extreme. Maybe HSK can be an option.

My concentration at UMPI will be Management in Business.

I wouldn't complete 90 credits on Sophia and them move to Study. Only 90 credits are going to be applied to a degree at UMPI. If one wants to take classes for fun, that's one thing, but if they're trying to complete a degree, it's best to focus on the degree and take the extra classes later.

I completely agree. Thank you!
