TAMUC Competency Based Program List

[Tswede]

So the TAMUC program is not going to work for me. They accepted only 85 of my 133 credits and require 30 hours with them including 36 UL total and the UL electives list is based off the other degree programs they have. The only available UL elective classes sound extremely dry to me and not in subjects that I am interested in. They would require OneTranscript or some other method to bring in more of my alt credits, because Coursera ACE recommended courses and ACTFL coming in both on Credly will not work for their admissions department. The BGS advisor Becky Smith seems very nice, but she (and no one at TAMUC) does not seem to understand what Credly is or understand that Sophia has college credit because Ace and Coursera also is ACE recommended. Somehow Sophia through Parchment is acceptable but Credly is 100% ignored. They won't even acknowledge they received it, even when I have repeatedly asked. She told me to do portfolio review to "get them on a transcript" through a source like COSC if I want them considered. While I suppose that is an option, it isn't one that I am going to attempt when I can just do a program through UMPI.

Their program seems very young still and for a CBE program, they don't yet know all the sources available to prove competency based knowledge.

But either way, the electives for the BGS would be subjects that would bore me to tears and just not something I can commit to completing.
