Degree Planning. Do I need 10 classes or 12

[jg_nuy]

You can take Workplace Writing II on Sophia to fill in requirements 1B, 2C, 4B (or the College Composition CLEP if you prefer something quicker). Take Human Biology and Human Biology Lab on Sophia to fulfill 3C and 3E, and Environmental Science or Intro to Chemistry for 3D. You need a foreign language class for 5C, so you can take either Spanish or French on Sophia.

Thanks! CLEP is free through Modern States right? If so I’ll go with that. I’ve heard these Sophia classes are some of the easiest so I’ll take those as well but I worry that not fulfilling them through UMPI could possibly eat into the 30 residency courses. Would you say sucking it up and filling a few through the Gen Eds is better or just using the rest on UL electives works best?

From what I have read, it's best to bring in the gen-ed via transfers, as the UMPI courses can be a pain. You have to do at least 30 credits (10 classes) at UMPI, but there is no limit on how many credits you can transfer in. For example, my friend transferred in over 150 credits total from prior schooling + Sophia, but only 90 credits get applied to the degree.

CLEP is free via Modern States, but if you are doing Sophia anyway, Workplace Writing II may be simpler to get done in a month's subscription, working on the other classes while you wait for grading.
