Help finding a school and degree plan

[bleedingpurple]

I'm back again. 

I would prefer to not use study.com as they are on my doodie list.

Ideally I'd want a non proctored school that offers some kind of IT degree. Finding space for proctoring would be difficult. If it's IT and would fit the requirement of Information Technology degree, I'm ok with that. 


I have a full time job and a kid, but they are willing to help out for me to get this completed.

Welcome back! Take the time to review the thread, as my recommendations will remain the same. If you haven't updated anything in regards to extra classes or credits, you're still on the same track as before. Not much has changed, the requirements remain the same, thus, the advice or recommendations from me remain unchanged...

How does UMPI work? Can I add credits that I'm missing from Sophia after I enroll or do I need to make sure I take everything I can before I enroll? Absolutely not taking anything at study.com.

Yes, you can easily transfer in new credits to UMPI from Sophia or other sources after you enroll!

UMPI is unlike WGU and Excelsior in this respect (at WGU you can't transfer in after you start; at Excelsior you have to pay a large fee for a new transfer credit evaluation).

Basically, as I mentioned earlier, even if you take 3 sessions at UMPI, it'll be FREE because you have tuition assistance or reimbursement. You just need to follow through with applying, sending all transcripts over, and waiting for an evaluation. The degree I mentioned was the UMPI BAS MIS minor, you can add another minor if you need/want, or add the classes that go towards the MAOL as you have 30 credits for residency purposes, each minor is only 18 credits.

I've had my transcripts analyzed by UMPI. I've added them as jpgs. It seems like I could do one class on Sophia? I've heard horror stories of Biology at UMPI. Can I still take Biology at Sophia (Since there have been changes) or should I take a different class?

Thank you!

It's better to ask your advisor which option would be best for you, Sophia and Study.com was the recommended choice for the science and labs. If they're not taking the courses in as intended, your other alternative is to go with CLEP, StraighterLine, or whatever you decide. I would take the missing French or Spanish class from Sophia.org after you confirm with UMPI, and any other classes you may be missing that can still transfer.
