Do you remember those kids in high school who took an extra class in the morning (prefirst) and summer school? So by the time they got to their senior year, they had half days, or graduated a semester early? UMPI's like that. You're taking extra classes.
A BA is typically 120 credits. Each class is usually 3 credits. You do 30 credits a year. This is 15 credits per semester. Which turns into 6-9 credits per term. To break it down:
BA = 40 classes
Year One
> Semester 1 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
> Semester 2 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
Year Two
> Semester 1 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
> Semester 2 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
Year Three
> Semester 1 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
> Semester 2 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
Year Four
> Semester 1 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
> Semester 2 = 5 classes
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
What's happening when we're at UMPI is this:
Year 1
> Semester 1
-> transfer in 16 classes at Sophia
-> Term 1 = 2 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 Class
So by doing the minimum at UMPI in one semester, you finished 21 classes with your Sophia transfer. That's over 50% of your degree. Now people who spend ALL of their time on UMPI, weekends, nights, take time off work, are able to finish 5-8 classes per term on average. This means for example:
> Semester 1
-> transfer in 16 classes at Sophia
-> Term 1 = 7 classes
-> Term 2 = 8 Class
> Semester 2
-> term 1 = 6 classes
-> Term 2 = 3 classes
DONE IN ONE YEAR
Some people are crazy like me and have managed to do 13-15 classes in a single TERM.

Indeed! The Master's programs are easy to get into after UMPI's BA. ss20ts and I both went onto grad programs.
I did my MAOL at UMPI, did an MBA at ENEB, and went onto a doctorate from Virginia University of Lynchburg.
Why did you do two master's degrees though?
And how is ENEB actually? Is it the same like UoPeople or more like UMPI?
And did UMPI always cost $1500 per session? I remember it being less..
A session is 8 weeks, did you mean session when you said term? I know UoPeople uses the word "Term". Is that the same thing? This got me confusing xD
Also, did you do the fastest UMPI degree? I heard there is a difference between Bs Liberal Arts and Bs of Arts degrees.
