OTmina - Excelsior Degree Plan
#11
Yes, depending on your answers you provided me, I was going to advise UMPI, it's best to find out more which options are best for you. With the time commitments you have, I would not go competency based, even though it may be cheaper, easier, faster to complete, just because "life happens" or something comes up, you may delay and it will take another session or term, in the long run, that may cost even more. Doing the 7 credits at Excelsior is the optimal choice for now, I would continue instead of switching to UMPI...

You right. I called EC to check if they will accept the classes that you suggest, they said I have to enrolled in Capstone, then the academic advisor will set up and appointment to discus those classes. 

I apply for TESU yesterday
I will apply for UMPI today.
However,  I don't know much about UMPI. 
How many credit do they accept??
What is the residential requirements?
What is the easiest degree to get the maximum credits?
Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

You can transfer in up to 90 credits at UMPI. That means you can get 90 credits from ACE providers. You'll need to complete at least 30 credits UMPI including most of the UL courses. Can't say which would be easiest for you since you haven't listed out all of your courses. BLS is typically the most flexible. You pick one of the five available minors.

Did you review this thread before applying to UMPI? 

https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...E-APPLYING

With UMPI you want all of your transfer credits done before applying or really close to it. You need permission to transfer courses from your academic advisor after you've accepted. Usually people follow the forum instructions about listing their courses with the course name, number, grade, number of credits and from what institution. From that we can figure out what you need to complete before applying. This helps to make the most of your time and courses.

As an international student I would wait and see what they will need. The application process is a bit different for international students. The admissions process will take a few weeks and your transcript evaluation will be after you're admitted. That also takes a few weeks usually.

Hello,
please check out my degree audit from UMPI. Please note that they said I need 12 classes for BLS with project management. They still need to receive CLEP for french 1 and 2, and they forgot to add my statistic class.

You can take US History 1 on Sophia and transfer it in for GEC 5B. Definitely mention the stats class to your academic advisor and ask about the CLEP credits.

I was thinking since I still have to take 30 units then maybe is better to take it at UMPI.
