Help planning my degree

[ss20ts]

Okay so after going through the recommendations and the posts on this forum, I think this is my new plan. I'd appreciate any feedback or assistance to see if I have the Gen Ed right, etc. Its 13 classes with UMPI, but I think they will require all of them for the BA in Accounting.  If anyone knows if there are alternatives for any of the UMPI classes, I would like to cut it down if possible. 

Thanks in advance!

Why are you taking so many credits on Sophia? You don't need many of them. It's 120 credits for the degree. The courses you will need to take at UMPI, I don't see available elsewhere. They're mostly UL courses. The exception is English Comp. Sophia has them both but they are MUCH FASTER and EASIER at UMPI. I took Eng Comp 2 on Sophia and dropped it. I was 2 months in and still not able to submit my final paper. You write 5-7 papers for Eng Comp 2 on Sophia. You write 1 short paper at UMPI for Eng Comp 2. I finished the entire course in 3 days - including the rough draft and final version of the Final Assessment. 

I wouldn't take Principles of Finance from Sophia. It will only transfer as a general elective. You don't need these either:
Project Management 3
Introduction to Information Technology 3
Introduction to Relational Databases 3
Introduction to Web Development 3

Introduction to Sociology: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration 3

You do need Environmental Science, Human Biology, and Introduction to Psychology from Sophia.
