What if my Degree contains too many Transfered Credits from Sophia etc.?

[ecdw94]

Imagine, 90 of your credits were transfered from other places like study.com or sophia. While you have only finished 30 of credits as in residency.  (Bachelor's degree).

Would that make a difference (make it more difficult), to be accepted to a Master's program at a different University ? Since many Universities require you to have a Bachelor's degree as a prerequisite?


Two more questions: 

If you want to attend a Computer Science Master's degree,  but you have your Bachelor's degree from a different field and it is not even a 3-4 years degree but rather a 12 Month degree?


I may be at a totally wrong place to ask that, but does anyone know how a 12 Months BABA Degree from UMPI is recognized in Canada?  It seems like I can not choose 12 Months in (https://applications.wes.org/ca/degree-e...ol/poe.asp  ) the Degree Equivalency Tool. Since the lowest duration for a Bachelor's degree that you can chose is only 3 years long? Specifically it's about recognition in Canada. 

And will UMPI ever offer affordable Master's degree programs?

Thank you

I will say that GPA probably matters more than ACE credits - so if you practically flunked out of college 20 years ago (like I did), and then come back and do 30cr at UMPI, your GPA may still not be great, and you might want to do more than the minimum number of credits there to up your GPA.

Also, the vast majority of schools will require a bachelor's degree to get into a master's program.  There are VERY few that do not.  Like, 3 or 4 schools.

UMPI does have an affordable Master's degree - the MA in Organizational Leadership.  It's $2,000 per 8wk term.

As to the second point, does it matter if I transfered Calculus and Discrete Math from Sophia to UMPI for the BABA degree? Or it is not possible /or i need to take them at UMPI directly as electives?

As to the latest answer, yep and thank you, its a 120 credits degree which would theoretically mean that it's simply a 4-year degree. I was planning to do that in 2 semesters by transfering most of the stuff from Sophia and co. As people have said, it is not realistic to graduate in 1 semester. Would you comment on that?

Sophia doesn't have Discrete Math (although SDC does).  But I don't think YourPace at UMPI offers those courses (their Computer Science degree is only offered on-campus, and none of their online degrees requires math at that level, so my guess is you can't take them at UMPI).

The majority of students on this forum that do YourPace are reporting that they graduate in 2 terms (16 weeks); one has done it in 1 term, and a few have done 3 terms (multiple majors or minors or concentrations, or for financial aid reasons).

Hello,

Thabk you for your contribution. Just a question, the master's degree on UMPI, doesn't it require you to be on campus? I did not see them offering online besides bachelor's degrees..
