Requesting Feedback on Best Degree Path
#1
Hello! I've been reading the forum for a few weeks and tentatively decided to pursue a psych degree at UMPI. I'm concerned about how I will be able to complete the practicum. Anyway, I'm open to all suggestions on what I should do. Thank you for any help you can provide! 

Your Location: Tennessee
Your Age: 52
What kind of degree do you want?: Would like Psych degree as it’s what I was trying to acquire during my first college career. Am open to a different degree if I can get it sooner and pursue either bachelor’s or master’s in Psych after earning first bachelors. No definite career goals – would possibly pursue counseling or social work position. Mainly want to complete degree for personal satisfaction.

 
I have had credits evaluated by UMPI and am signed up to begin classes there 3/12.
I have been working on completing Gen Ed requirements through Sophia. Sociology will satisfy the last required Gen Ed.
