First of all, this is a great resource. Thank you to everyone!
I'd like to complete a BA in either English or Psychology at UMPI in the shortest time possible and need help with a degree plan. I started to go by this:
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan
...but realized the English degree there is different now and the requirements look different.
https://online.umpi.edu/degrees/undergra...ournalism/
My details are:
Your Location: California , USA
Your Age: 54
What kind of degree do you want?: BA English
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None (possibly some 20+ year old credits from a junior college that might be transferrable as electives)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Any certifications or military experience? None
Budget: I'd like to go the quickest/easiest route possible and will consider spending more for it.
Commitments: I currently work full time and can work on my studies in the evenings/weekends.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends. I estimate at least 3 hours each weeknight and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, so 20 hours or so weekly.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible is my goal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None.
My questions are:
1. From what I read, I'm assuming UMPI would be the easiest/quickest way to go, but is there a better option?
2. I have 15 credits from a junior college in 1991 (media studies and drama). Are those transferrable as electives?
3. Can you help me create a degree plan? It looks like I can do the following:
Sophia: 40 credits (General Education)
Sophia: 34 credits (General Electives)
16 credits which qualify for UMPI requirements
-- Transfer to UMPI --
UMPI: 30 credits (English/Comm requirements)
So I created this spreadsheet with the basics so far:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
4. In the degree plan, which courses are easiest to complete quickly and meet the requirements?
5. Is it a safe assumption that each of the required classes on the UMPI page are 3 credits each?
