Increase in YourPace Programs

[Mint Berry Crunch]

Hey everyone,

Just did some more digging for a paper I was writing, and I found this report that provides some insight into what the future holds for UMPI and its programs. I was aware of the Health Administration, but there are a couple more that I was unaware of.

Increasing need for more YourPace programs. 

"UMPI plans in August 2021 to submit a Substantive Change request to allow Criminal Justice and English: Professional Communication to deliver its programming in the CBE modality. It plans to submit a subsequent request in August 2022 to deliver Cybersecurity and Psychology, with Computer Science and Health Administration scheduled for proposals in 2023."

Here is the link for the report

I'd be really interested in the Computer Science and even Health Administration programs!

Noooooo more healthcare admin, please god no.

But yes CS and Cyber would be interesting. But WGU seems to have a huge monopoly on it and I don't even think UMPI on campus has these programs...its a lot of overhead and work to start from scratch.

I wonder where the Computer Science stands with it almost being the end of 2023. This would be a huge draw for them I would imagine.

Yeah this has been shard on here numerous times over the years. It was a plan. That's all - a plan. Nothing carved in stone like many people seem to think. Now that the move to Brightspace has happened., UMPI has added another major and will continue to add them in the future. They are also having huge growing pains and hiring a lot of faculty. UMPI is a VERY small university - around 1100 on campus students. And it's a state university so nothing is done quickly.

Apologies. Wasn't aware that this was already posted several times. But it is interesting seeing how it turned out.

Hoping they'll come out with a few newer programs in addition to what was mentioned before, since there was a recent thread mentioning they may double in size within 5 years. Good work so far on their part, just need to make sure they'll be able to scale properly and not leave staff/students with compounded problems...
