advantages/disadvantages of Study.com vs. UMPI

[dfrecore]

It really just depends on the degree, what you already have, etc. There's no one answer for everyone.

I think that SDC can give you some insight into how you might do at UMPI, making it worth the price to run that experiment for a month or two. If you can do 1 course per month at SDC, then UMPI might not be for you. If you can do 4 UL courses in 2 months, with quizzes and papers and whatnot, then UMPI may be a great fit. It's a lot cheaper to pay $400 for 2 months than $1400.

You'll also get some experience writing papers before you need to do it for a true grade, which can be helpful for some people.

If you want to do more than 1 minor/concentration, SDC is a great option to get some UL courses completed and stay on track for 2-3 terms at UMPI.

I probably wouldn't get MOST of my credits through them, but it's certainly worth looking at in some circumstances.
