I hope you're not implying that you will take Bio + lab at UMPI?? Sophia is strongly recommended over UMPI.

Maybe a current student can chime in, but I think it's more work now on Brightspace than it was on Strut, which could make alternative sources like SDC more appealing. Another option to consider is the College Composition CLEP through Modern States.

Absolutely not, I've been lurking around in this forum enough to know what a catastrophic mistake that would be. Smile

I hear they are picky about the formatting in the English Comp courses at UMPI. 

So if you want to shoot for a 3.7+ GPA (Magna cum laude), that's something to consider.
