Finally got my degree today! You guys can do it!!!

[park0902]

To people who are doubting themselves as I did: YOU CAN DO IT!!! Took me a while but I've never thought I could finish college. Special thanks to bjcheung77, rachel83az, ashkir, ss20ts, LevelUP, dfrecore and other members of this forum. Your guidance has helped me tremendously on this journey. This year they don't give us the nice cover anymore. It also comes with a transcript inside. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life. I'm in the HAU MBA program and planning to go to Officer Candidate School in the near future or possibly teach English overseas. I don't know what the future holds but this degree has opened up a lot of opportunities for me. UMPI has been a really wonderful experience. Jessica is awesome! Congrats to the class of 2022! Go Owls! Good luck everyone!

Here's the list of the classes for those who need the reference.
I've finished every single class at Sophia in 2 months to save money, have 2 associate degrees from a community college, and did 4 Study.com classes in 2 months. I also did all of the TEEX credits in about a month. I think I have way too much credits, about 240 lol I've finished all of UMPI classes in 2 terms. (4 sessions, 3 classes per session because I have a full time job)

Thank you! I chose management because it's the easiest path to transfer from alt credits. I thought they were going to list it on the degree but they didn't.

It seems like this changed with the May degrees. I wonder why. I was hoping someone would ask about it. Maybe it's to match the BABA?

That's a shame because I know many liked the BLS due to its speed and how the diploma mentioned the minors. A BLS is not a BABA per employer; however, unless the employer has a specific request all degrees check the box. We have a Global Sales Director who has her Master's in Dance. Unfortunately, she seems to be bothered by it and always jokes about it having no value. Appreciating her run in the company, I think the degree checked all the hurdle boxes and her talent did the rest.

Awesome work, congrats! You did it! Hmm, I think they're streamlining everything and "removing" all the extra fluff for the concentrations, majors or minors. Having less stuff on the diploma looks better to me. Having said that, some people do like to have "everything" on the diploma. I think it's more useful having it on the transcript and having the basic/concise info on the diploma looks better...
