Deciding on UMPI or Study.com

[SyedUsman]

@SyedUsman, Great intro post with nicely formatted information!  Having said that, you're missing the addendum and template!  It's best to provide more details as it would show your budget, commitments, study habits and allow us to 'gauge' your previous studies up to this point.  Your best option is to get as many transferred credits as possible before starting the session, when you've max the transfer credits (or more), you can take the remaining 30 credits from UMPI and be done with it...

@bjcheung77 How can I do it? Can you please share it here with me? Thanks!

I took 220 and 244 at UMPI. I took the equivalents for 240 and 415 at SDC.

None of those four classes (2 at UMPI and 2 at SDC) were particularly troublesome or difficult. I probably picked 240 and 415 to take at SDC because I read a review indicating that they were longer at UMPI, although I do not remember specifics. You can check the UMPI class thread to see if there are any recent reviews of any of those classes.

My general opinion is, in a vacuum, I would rather take a UMPI class than a SDC class. I find the format more engaging and in a sense easier - the material itself is usually harder, if anything, but the SDC format to me feels like chewing glass sometimes. Getting through those quizzes is a chore.

However, there could be good reasons to do them at SDC, mainly, if you have time before your term, and you can do them at SDC now but would have to wait to do them at UMPI. I think it's always best to do as much as you can before the term. That gives you more options, such as adding a minor, or taking the fastest electives you can find, or whatever fits your goals the best.

Good luck!

@Kjnova This is super helpful!! Thank you so much, Brother! I have a quick question for you. Let's say I follow your path and take 240 and 415 at SDC. To fill this gap, what UMPI courses would you suggest I take? Are there any easiest and fastest UMPI courses, something like a one or two-day course, that I could add instead of 240 and 415?
