UMPI Degree Planning - Questions

[karlvon]

I’m planning to enroll in UMPI’s History & Political Science, Political Science Concentration, B.A. program. My goal is to transfer 90 credits through Sophia. 

The Attachment is my degree plan, with three tables corresponding to General Education Requirements, Political Science Requirements, and General Electives.

Could you please let me know if this plan looks reasonable? Is there anything that could be improved, or do you have any suggestions for me?

"Political Science Requirements" tab comments:

POS 331: Constitutional Law - it should be POS 332.

Not available for Yourpace:
- POS 369 - American-Canadian Relations
- POS 303 - Feminist Theory/PHI 303 - Feminist Theory

Otherwise this tab looks ok.

Think you for your reply! I found those information on this website: http://catalog.umpi.edu/preview_program....turnto=260 and degreeForum wiki.  If these two courses are unavailable, should I look for two other courses to earn 6 credits?

Also, based on my understanding, if a Sophia course fulfills both General Education Requirements and Political Science Requirements, the credits will be transferred towards General Education Requirements, but no credits will be given for Political Science Requirements, meaning I’ll need to take additional courses from elsewhere to fulfill those requirements. Is that correct?

There are some errors in your General Ed.

English Comp 2 is counted twice.

Biology lab is only 1 credit, not 3.

Student Success is 0 credits for General ed.

Everything should add up to 40 credits. 

Anything over 40 credits goes in Electives.

Thank you for your reply! I’ve revised my table based on your comment. If you don’t mind, could you let me know if there are any other issues? Or am I already good to earn credits according to this plan?

Hi everyone,
I have a question about Study.com and UMPI's BA Political Science Degree Plan. I recently completed enough Sophia courses to meet both the General Education Curriculum Requirements and General Electives Requirements. According to the information on this website(https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan), there are two courses that can be completed through Study.com: HTY/POS 439: The Vietnam Wars and POS 211: Introduction to Political Thought.
However, Study.com costs over $200 per month, and I feel it’s too expensive for just two courses. Are there any alternative options to fulfill these requirements? Alternatively, can I complete these courses directly at UMPI? If I take them at UMPI, how much time will I need to dedicate per day to complete my degree?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Merging your thread and bumping it up so you get more traction... You will get answers that will vary as everyone does things differently. It's hard to gauge how you would do things as you haven't indicated how long it took you to do the 90 credits from Sophia.org for example. You really should fill in the addendum and template to provide an overall overview of your scenario that shows us your budget, commitments, study habits and so on: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

This is literally impossible to answer

UMPI offers every class required to complete their degrees. How many credits you take from Sophia and Study are up to you. Only 90 will be applied toward a degree.
