Review my plan for UMPI Psychology Major & Educational Studies Minor - Please :)

[manyoptions4me]

I think I have all my bases covered, but I'd love to get experienced eys on my plan, just to make sure I'm not missing anything, and to get any relevant advice. 

I'm basing this on the assumption that a Psychology major with an Educational Studies minor is possible at UMPI, but I haven't actually contacted anyone at UMPI yet to verifiy that.

My plan: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...edit#gid=0

Thank you!

Hi Rachel curious how is your plan/program going? can you share your experience and how long it's taking you to complete?

Hi! This looks good, I'm making my own in Sheets as well so this is a helpful example for formatting Just curious, why are two Sophia classes brown instead of red (US history and art history)? And under electives, what do you mean by "need 14 credits total, plus 6 to make up for shortfall above = 21"?

I change the colors of the classes when I'm in the process of completing them. Makes me feel like I'm actually doing something, lol. And 40 Gen Ed credits are required, but I only listed 34 under that particular heading, so I just wanted to remind myself that I still had the additional 6 to complete.

Thanks! I totally understand wanting to see current progress haha. Do you know which of your classes will cover 1C in the GEC? That might be why you're only at 37 credits GEC (if you include Stats). The Wiki recommends Workplace Communication, Business Communication, or Study.com Communications 120. I see you planned on taking Study.com Communication 102 for the 2D requirement, and already took Visual Communication as an elective which also fulfills 2D. So I believe you don't have to take Com 102 unless you want it as an elective, and I would recommend also taking one of the classes that cover 1C to be safe, unless I missed something here! (:

This is kinda extra but I made you an example of what I'm trying to say hahaha

Didn't see your post until just now, sorry! U.S. Government will fill the 1C requirement.

Just noticed your signature, are you thinking of doing International Studies minor or the Educational Studies minor as you mentioned in the original post?  If you're looking at the International Studies minor, make sure to transfer in all the credits if at all possible as UMPI doesn't offer that on the YourPace platform, if it's the Educational Studies minor, you may also want to read this thread post of mine: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid412506

I keep waffling back and forth, but International Studies should be much faster, so I'm thinking of doing that, just to finish more quickly, since I plan to get an education-related Masters, anyway.

The classes required are available through YourPace because of the history/polysci degree, and I already have the required language courses, so I think it's possible.

I haven't started at UMPI yet, sadly. I have a chronic illness and a flare-up derailed my progress for a couple months.

I've been working on Sophia courses, and only have 5ish left. Then I've decided to try doing the literature CLEPs, since they'll be relevant in rhe future, and I can do them for free through Modern States. And eventually, I'll hopefully enroll in UMPI. I had hoped to finish the entire process in one year, but that was an unrealistic goal for me personally, lol. At this point, I'll be happy if I can finish in just under two years from start-to-finish. (It's been 8 months, so far.)

I try to keep my signature updated with my progress to keep myself motivated!
