Study.com vs UMPI courses - any bad Study.com to avoid?
#1
Hello all!

I have finally decided 100% on my path to my Bachelor's and I'm going with UMPI over WGU (more landed credits and with some Sophia / Study.com work, I can hit the 10 course / 30 credit minimum with UMPI easier and faster than WGU's 6 month wait to do MBA next.)

With that said, I'm curious if anyone has any negative experiences with any of the listed Study.com courses below? From what I've read online it's almost a no-brainer to go with Sophia when there's one available, and I see mixed reviews of Study.com vs UMPI course. Tried to search for these but I might suck at finding an already answered Q for this.

Below is my breakdown, just looking to see anyone who's taken either the UMPI course and recommends it as being very fast / easy, or if anyone took a Study.com course and says to stay away form it or if it was rather easy.

UMPI Sections 2 (Critical & Creative Thinking)
  • Section D - Sophia - Visual Communications
  • Section E - Sophia - Art History
UMPI Section 3 (Quantitative & Scientific Reasoning)
  • Section C - Sophia - Human Biology (Already have a lab with D and E completed)
UMPI Section 5 (Global Consciousness & Intercultural Awareness)
  • Section B - Sophia - US History I
  • Section C - Sophia - Spanish
  • Section E - Sophia - US Government
UMPI Business Administration Major Section
  • Business 200 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 220 - Study.com - Accounting 301
  • Business 244 - Study.com - Business 303
  • Business 325 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 353 - Study.com - Business 310
  • Business 469 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
UMPI Supply Chain Concentration Section
  • Business 218 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 231 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 240 - Study.com - Business 304
  • Business 363 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 412 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI
  • Business 415 - Study.com - Business 312
  • Business 452 - Can't find equivalent - taking at UMPI 

Obviously I only have 8 courses listed here for UMPI and I know I need to slide 2 from either Sophia or Study.com, just hoping someone out there might have some solid advice on best ones to slide (easy at UMPI). If anyone has the opposite advice of STAY AWAY FROM UMPI for any that I have slotted for that, please let me know that too.

Another breakdown if it's easier:

Courses I'm taking at Sophia:
  • Visual Communications
  • Art History
  • Human Biology (Already have a lab)
  • US History I
  • Spanish I
  • US Government
Courses I'm taking at Study.com:
  • Accounting 301
  • Business 303
  • Business 310
  • Business 304
  • Business 312
Courses I'm taking at UMPI Directly:
  • Business 200
  • Business 325
  • Business 469
  • Business 218
  • Business 231
  • Business 363
  • Business 412
  • Business 452

BUS 200 Intermediate Business Computing and BUS 240 Change Management are very doable at UMPI in a few days and the Final Assessments are very reasonable as well.

Appreciate that. I'll move BUS240 over to UMPI in my plans vs taking it at Study.com.

You are missing two courses UMPI. You need 10.

Just make sure to take the bulk of your Sophia.org courses first, Study.com second, then UMPI to finish. I suggest multi-tasking if you have a second monitor and go at Your Pace, not rush into anything. Seems like a workable plan, also make sure you have the required 30 credits mapped out for UMPI residency requirements...

Yes I mention that in the post, it was sort of the point to the post short of making sure I made the right calls on alt or main umpi courses.

Sounds good and thanks for the advice. I was debating doing both Sophia and study same time.
