Finishing BA Psych degree plan

[LevelUP]

For 2D, doing Visual Communications on Sophia is the quickest option.

The 4A Orientation course counts as 0 credits, not 2.

For 5A, do Introduction to Sociology on Sophia.

You can't do a Human Services Minor because those are not YourPace courses.

I totally missed that Human Services isn't offered on YourPace, good catch thank you. Another poster mentioned it on my other thread and after looking at Wayne State's MSW program it looks like I'd be taking a lot of similar classes anyway. 

re: 2D I don't see the UMPI equivalent course of COM-XXX listed on UMPI's website even though it's on the wiki that Jessica can manually adjust things.


re: 4A On the UMPI website it lists the course as counting for credits so if I do them at UMPI do I still get the credits? Or is there a Sophia/SDC equivalent or another course that counts for 4A that I missed on the wiki? I do see on the wiki it says 0 credits for a 1-2 hour orientation. 

re: 5A Added! Now I just need one lone credit to fulfill the GEC before moving onto electives. Plan updated here.


Also as far as the biology lab is it pretty obvious where or how to take that on Sophia.com? Thank you so much for all of your help!

Unless you have all the Human Services minor classes transferred in, yeah... It's going to be one of those minors you can't do...  I also second that Gen Eds WIKI for UMPI.  Exactly what I mentioned here for another member: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid421126

I've been cross referencing the UMPI GEC roadmap, Sophia.org equivalency list, and UMPI Sophia transfer equivalents. I did totally miss that Human Services isn't part of YourPace though so thank you for catching that! I'm not super bummed to be honest since I don't plan on stopping at just a bachelor's.

Visual Communications is confirmed to work for 2D by UMPI's database and by students that have taken that course and transferred it into UMPI. If for some reason it doesn't transfer in correctly, you can ask Jessica to fix it. 

When you look on UMPI's website in GE, keep in mind you are looking at the UMPI online program, which is separate from YourPace. Though it offers similar requirements, UMPI doesn't offer the same courses. 

The Sophia biology lab is a virtual online lab. There is no physical lab.

Thank you for confirming the info about Visual Communications and biology lab! On UMPI's database you linked is it supposed to look like this? Or am I safe to follow the degreeforum wiki pages?

No, it should look like this:

Whoops figuring out that's a browser issue on my end, thanks!

I have one more question about credit requirements -- 

MAT 101 Basic Statistics fulfills the Psychology credit requirement, bringing that total to 45 credits. It also fulfills the GEC requirement (3A & 3B) but my requirement total for general ed is only at 37 instead of 40. Do I need to add an additional class to meet the credit fulfillment for General Education Requirements/GEC or will MAT 101 count towards both -- which would require me to add an additional 3 credit elective class?

[Hotdogman1]

Mat 101 will satisfy both the Psychology core courses and GEC.

As for electives, you need to transfer in at least 8 additional credits if you don't want to take extra electives at UMPI. From your Degree Plan V2, it shows 45 (Core Courses — Psychology) + 37 (General Education Requirements) = 82 total credits.

Here's an updated version of my degree plan with 120 credits. I would super greatly appreciate if anyone could give it a look over and let me know if anything is incorrect or should be changed!

I'm posting my degree plan to get final feedback/suggestions for improvement before starting Sophia and applying to UMPI. I referenced many spreadsheets and did my best to double-check the accuracy of credits accepted on UMPI's website. Thank you to everyone who responded to my prior threads (1 & 2) and helped guide me in the right direction!! 

google doc here, there are three sheets in total. A few questions:

1. Am I taking too much via Sophia/should I be utilizing Study.com more?
   
2. If I start now will I be good to apply to UMPI by 9/20? I know this is based on how quickly I move but I've read conflicting advice on transferring additional credits in after enrolling at UMPI
   
3. English Comp I & II at UMPI or Sophia? I've read conflicting advice here and on reddit
   
4. Has anyone done the practicum for psychology yet? 
   
5. Anything I overlooked/missed?
   

Thank you!!

You want to maximize Sophia as much as possible. For English I and II, Sophia English I and Workplace Writing II work, but you can also take English 104 and 105 at Study if you prefer. They have a really good special right now with 68% off for the first month.

Unless you have a firm setup for the practicum - take animal behavior and cognitive psychology at UMPI, then you don't have to take the practicum.

Yeah I don't want to mess with the practicum if I don't have to. Updated!
