Advice please for Best Degree for CAA Route

[LopsiddedMind84]

Check whether taking those prereqs online is allowed too. Online courses were accepted during Covid but schools are returning to requiring only in-person courses again (for prereqs). I’ve never seen that UNE certificate before, but I know people that did UNE’s self-paced courses and others like portage learning.

Although there is precedence of schools accepting these courses before Covid, they always felt risky to me. If possible, do the classes in person. Makes life so much easier.

The rest of the bachelor's doesn't matter as much, but I was told it was recommended the last 60 credits should be done at a RA institution (I don’t know for sure so take with a grain of salt). The major doesn't matter as long as you complete the prereqs (again, In-person recommended). I'd recommend doing them at a local community college and just complete one of those Chemistry/Biology/premed Associates of Science if it has all the prereqs.

So theoretically, if you were looking to go to UMPI:
Sophia (1-2 months)
You can mostly follow any of the degree plans. However:
Do not take English 1 or 2, No Math courses, None of the science or anatomy courses except for maybe Environmental Science, Introduction to Nutrition, and Health, Fitness, and Wellness.

Coursera (do with Sophia): take whatever course the degree plan calls for.

Local CC (1 semester/4 months): Take at least Calculus and General Chem with a Physical Lab (2 years Chem>1 year Bio. Also for UMPI Science and Math GEC) If you didn’t take chem/Math during high school, you might have to test in or do a prerequisite course. If that’s the case, take two CLEP exams via ModernStates: Precalculus and Chemistry. DO NOT TAKE AT SOPHIA.

UMPI (2-6 Months): Complete 30 RA+ credits and graduate.

Local CC (4-5 semesters): Complete the rest of your prereqs/complete the associates. Do Anatomy with lab.

So results: Bachelor's + all Prereqs complete = ~90 Alt Credits + ~90 RA Credits (60 in-person). You don't have to transfer in the maximum amount of transfer credit into UMPI since that would mean more RA credits, but it wouldn't really matter either way. What were you planning to do with the old Penn State credits? What exact courses were they?

it was just business and chem and bio labs  first year seminar i failed pretty much everything because i didn't even show up i rather worked and it was very dumb and immature and something i regret to this day.  thank you so much for laying this out for me
