Honestly starting to question your intelligence here. UMPI is a puss poor ranked school. I’m looking for a quality Jesuit education. Both these schools and programs are nationally ranked. Also the tuition for my Georgetown program is just slightly higher than my state university for an online education. If you looked at my Georgetown faculty compared to UMPI and my state University it’s  night and day in comparison to quality recognition and respect. You guys are nuts

On your previous account you said that you decided on Georgetown. What made you change your mind? Basically, go with whichever one you think is the better option. In general though, you're not going to find many people on here who will advocate for an undergrad degree that costs mid to high 5 figures. People don't really care if UMPI has "piss poor" rankings. If you notice, there's even a separate sub-forum for UMPI here. The main theme on this forum is fast, efficient, and inexpensive. Besides, you're talking about a Liberal Studies B.A. It doesn't really matter if you get it from Harvard or a Cracker Jack box. If you were getting scholarships for the other 2 schools and were planning on attending in person to get the full college experience, that would be understandable. But without scholarships, to put yourself into that kind of debt just to attend the online version of one of those schools isn't something that most here would recommend.
