I am still on the hunt to finish any degree by May of 2025 or earlier, and saw that UMPI's session doesn't start until March of 2025. I finished my application last week and am still waiting for acceptance while I am enrolled at WGU. UMPI still sounds like a good idea, but I do not want to be stuck doing nothing for 3 months and also did an application for UMASS Global just in case there was a possibility of finishing in 1 term anywhere else. My goal ultimately is to "tick a box" for my bachelor's and then transition to a Master's at UMPI. I know TESU and Excelsior are options as well, but I want to make sure that I will not be stuck in the same predicament that I am with WGU. I can deal with proctored exams to an extent, but WGU does not let you accelerate in any order you choose, which means sometimes you are stuck with a difficult class which can be even more difficult if you have test anxiety for several weeks while staring at several other classes that you are confident in passing. UMPI seems like a dream, and I would love to do the MAOL but the bachelor's starting in March seems like it would put a delay in the timeline I have set.
What kind of degree do you want?:
Any works! Preferably Bachelor of Science in Information Technology or BSBA IT Management but I'd settle for anything if it means I can transfer it into a masters.
