UMPI Questions

[RJ77]

1. Based upon this research, Sophia’s Introduction to Statistics Course ( https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/ma...tistics-2/ ) is essentially equal to UMPI's  MAT 201 - Probability and Statistics I in content and rigor. Instead, UMPI transferred Sophia's  statistics course as MAT 101 - Basic Statistics. This is a foundational course equivalent to Sophia's Foundations of Statistics. As a result, my Sophia Foundations course transferred as an unnamed elective, 1XX. I might add that all of the Sophia partner universities I checked with transferred Sophia's Introduction to Statistics as a 200 or 300 level course.
   
2. Using the same methodology, I conducted the similar research for Sophia's Principles of Finance (https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/bu...of-finance ) and determined it most closely aligns with UMPI's Bus 325. Due to its depth and rigor, ACE recommends Sophia's Principles of Finance for 3 upper-level credits. Inexplicably, Principles of Finance was transferred as a 1XX business elective. Most Sophia partner universities accept Sophia's Principles of Finance as a 300 or 400 level course.
   

1. 3. Sophia's Principles of Management course  ( https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/bu...anagement/ ) is by far their most challenging course. Its depth and breadth is unmatched by other Sophia courses. Not surprisingly, it is the Sophia course most commonly transferred as a 400 level course. ACE confirms this by recommending it for 3 upper level credit hours. I was stupefied to learn UMPI transferred it as Introduction to Business, a 1XX course. This is ironic because my Sophia Introduction to Business course was transferred as a 2XX business elective rather than as UMPI's Introduction to Business. Amazingly, UMPI doesn't currently offer a general management course through YourPace. The closest course I can find is Bus 410.  While not an exact match, this course description far more closely aligns with the nature of the course than a 1XX transfer.

1. 4. I was unaware of the difficulty posed by Sophia's English Composition l, ( https://www.sophia.org/online-courses/en...sition-i-4 ) I took it three years ago before discovering this forum. Sophia's English 1 was not transferred as the virtually identical UMPI English 121, rather a remedial course College Composition 101.  This prevented Sophia's Foundations of English Composition from transferring into its equivalent, College Composition 101. Instead it's listed as 1XX. 

According to the Wiki https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List, your transfers lined up as they should have been expected to. Intro to Statistics is supposed to transfer in as MAT-101. Principles of Finance is supposed to transfer in as a 1XX Business Elective. Principles of Management should transfer in as Business 101. As for the 4th one, I'm confused as to why you thought that Sophia's English Comp I would transfer in as the equivalent of UMPI's English Comp II, which is what their ENG 121 class is. It correctly transferred in as ENG-101, as it should. The Foundations courses generally aren't accepted.
