Your Location: The Bahamas
Your Age: 37
What kind of degree do you want?: UMPI BBA Project Man. & IS
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Did a few courses at a vocational school but I doubt the credits will transfer.
Can provide a copy or if you can connect me with a UMPI rep that can confirm if it's worth anything that'll be great also
School Name Total Credits: 0
Class Name, Credits, Grade
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0 Literally starting over from scratch.
Provider Total Credits: 0
Class Name, Credits, Grade
Any certifications or military experience? None, not a resident.
Budget: I have a max of $3K saved up. I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: I have 2 kids. Work a full time job and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.
My job gets slow at times so I can squeeze in some time there as well.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 6 hours every week.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish within 6/9 months max.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No financial assistance available to me.
This is all new to me, I've been reading through the forum for a few days trying to understand certain terminologies and how best to plan to attain my degree.
I chose UMPI because it is one of the few universities willing to accept international students and seemingly the most affordable as well if I am very strategic.
Currently trying to decide on the GE classes for the PM & IS degree but I am seeing a variation of reults, which is expected, I found a degree plan through youtube but the youtuber is pushing Study.com/straighline all the way.
I'd prefer to go the Sophia route as much as possible because of it's affordability.
If any of you can provide the alternative classes from the attached degree plan for SOPHIA that would be so helpful.
I welcome any and all advice on how to proceed.
One more thing, I am on the UMPI wiki page and I'm reviewing the GE requirements.
I am not quite understanding the rubric with the learning objectives. Does the 1A, 2D, 3C refer to a grade expectancy or refer to a course label?
I also visited the transfer equivalency per the UMPI site and it's offering some clarity on which course is the equal to Sophia course.
Thank you. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
I am ready to start tomorrow with Sophia if possible. See attached sheet copied from YouTube.
