STEM background with BS/MS/doctorate and almost a complete MA in Classics/Ancient history. I want a BA in history to round things out.
Couple questions:
1. I am considering other online history programs like SNHU, IU, OSU, ASU, LSU ect. Is there anything that stands out about UMPI? I get its competency-based, but I don't want to just blow through it to get a degree. I want to learn. I have my career, this is just for personal growth.
2. I reviewed the gen eds and it seems like I am just missing a couple including a language. I have read on here that Sophis is ideal. Is that still the case? I also need a hands-on art class haha. I avoided that one years ago with Art history. Is UMPI better for this?
3. I am assuming all of my credits will transfer. Given that, I have 30 credits I need to take. I prefer HIST over Poly sci. Any classes that people enjoyed? Or is the selection pretty meager? I saw the list and it doesn't seem to change? I am an ancient history guy and I saw there weren't a ton of different offerings.
4. Anything else for me???
Thanks
I just completed my History concentrations today actually and I'm sad to be done with UMPI. I emailed today to see if I could continue and complete the Poli Sci Concentrations for anything, either double major or minor (I have no clue if they let us do this).
I believe that with Dr. Siebold you will really LEARN history, and she loves talking about topics via email with you, if it's something you're keen on.
Awesome! Congrats! What were your favorite/hardest/easiest classes?
The whole history and poly sci thing confuses me as it makes it sort of seem like a double major but its not really
