Bachelors Degree Plan

[Mikaelaadams]

My apologies, I am looking for an analysis of what I currently have completed. I have updated that information with the proper course numbers. I was under the impression that the UMPI degree for management was a Liberal studies degree, which is what the admissions rep told me. Is that information incorrect, I wouldn't be surprised if it is. I just want to gain clarity for my own understanding. And with TESU being the shortest time frame, what would the time frame look like? Not sure if that can be answered or not. I really would like to go straight for my Master's degree after completing the bachelor's.

Oh my goodness, you talked to an "enrollment specialist"? They're never going to stop calling you, I'm so sorry. We have students here who completed UMPI degrees more than a year ago and they still get calls to "enroll" at UMPI! And they're very wrong about most questions students might ask. We have so much more information here than those "specialists".

The shortest time frame for a TESU degree is 6-9 months from when you start, though it can take up to a year. Depends on your schedule. UMPI, on the other hand, can be as quick as 4-6 months. Again, it depends on you.

Do you prefer papers or exams? If you want to avoid exams, go with UMPI. If you hate papers, go with TESU. You'll need to write some, but less than at UMPI.

UMPI will require, at minimum: Spanish I from Sophia, as well as either Intro to Chemistry + lab or the Human Biology lab (since you already took the regular Human Biology course). If you're not up for either of these, TESU might be better for you.

I wish I would've known that before talking to an advisor because I have definitely been getting nonstop calls and emails. I do want to transfer the max amount of credits that I can to whichever school I end up at. I know that UMPI allows up to 90 credits. Is TESU the same? I don't know much about them but I am fairly familiar with UMPI from doing research. I don't mind writing papers or taking tests to a certain extent but I prefer not to have proctored exams as it gives me test anxiety. I am not the best in math or science so I would prefer to skip out on those if possible. 

I also noticed you mentioned Coursera... is there a cert that I should look into obtaining to also push myself further to the finish line? My goal is to possibly graduate within the next 4-8 months if it is doable.
