UMPI replied that they do accept Duolingo.
I got the diploma translation, and now I just need a few more days to do a translation of the economics university transcript.
I'll be applying to UMPI and maybe also to Metropolia later because it's so cheap and the subjects are actually very interesting.
I did some quick research, and my diploma is probably going to be the equivalent of an "Associate degree" in the US. A community college, basically.
So I guess my education would be considered an "Associate of Science"?
A few more questions:
1. If it turns out to be an "Associate of Science" degree, would UMPI allow credit transfer for some of the subjects?
Because I have: informatics, math, history, geography, physics, chemistry + lab (lots and lots of chemistry), biology, philosophy, law, the basics of economics, and management.
On some of the subjects, I have a B and some of them a C; is there a lower limit? Honestly, I would rather pass the subject from scratch again than transfer a C, which would later show on my bachelor's transcript and make applying for a good master's harder.
2. What is the difference between "Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration" & "Bachelor of Liberal Studies"? What would be better for a "business/management" degree?
Is it even important at all? As a reference, I took a look at Harward, and their Computer Science, Economics and Mathematics degrees are all Bachelor of Arts.
Their Business administration and Management was a Bachelor of Liberal Arts. All "arts" basically.
3. I'm considering one of these two degrees at UMPI:
a. https://online.umpi.edu/degrees/undergra...anagement/
b. https://online.umpi.edu/degrees/undergra...ems-minor/
a. 40 credit hours of general education courses, 59-62 of business core/Project Management Concentration courses, and 18-21 of electives
b. 40 credit hours of general education courses, 18 of Management Information Systems Minor core courses, and 62 of electives
It seems that A has a lot more business/management courses, while B, for some reason, is mostly electives.
What are the elective courses? Is it something that I have to choose that has to be strictly limited to course related subjects or could be anything IT related?
