UMPI Computer Science and Cybersecurity Minors

[ss20ts]

You would most likely have the experience and knowledge for the lower level courses when you're able to pass upper level classes.  Here's an example, the Saylor.org UL COS 320 - Software Engineering.  Remember UMPI has an option for 'credit by experience', we're talking about an introduction to web design, if you have more UL CS/CIS from Study.com or another provider, you can relay to your advisor you have skills above and beyond that initial intro course.  Skip it and ask for another course in place of it, issue resolved.

I haven't seen anyone allowed to skip a required course in YourPace. Not saying it hasn't happened, but I can't imagine it's an easy process. It's not like UMPI has a large IT department so there's a plethora of courses to choose from. 

I just looked at the transfer database because I feel like there has to be some provider who offers an Intro to Web Develpoment course that would transfer. I did see that Study's Discrete Math classes does not transfer as Discrete Math. It transfers as a math elective, but it also fulfills the math GEC requirements. Maybe they will change how they accept this course now that they're offering a minor which requires it? Don't know when UMPI started offering Discrete Math so that might be why it's MAT1XX.

Most of the Computer Science courses just transfer as electives unfortunately. Maybe as the Comp Sci program at UMPI grows, this will change. The program is still very new. Same may apply to Sophia's Intro to Web Development. There is the possibility of taking this course at a community college and transferring it. Some states have really cheap CC tuition.

I don't see a course on Saylor about Web Design/Development. I'm surprised that this course isn't available from more providers! 

I'm wondering about the certificates on Coursera. We know the Google certificates transfer with quite a bit of credit. The IBM and Meta Developer certificates may also. According to the transfer database, they did accept Meta's Social Media Marketing certificate so they should accept Meta's developer certificate. They do accept IBM's Full Stack Developer certificate at 18 credits, but it's all general electives. Maybe this can change with the new minor?
