UMPI YourPace Sophia equivalents for Business Admin Marketing and BLS education?

[btsrain16]

Hello I want to apply to the YourPace program for BBA marketing or BLS ed. and finish in 2 sessions (financially what I can afford). How do I complete either program in as short a time as possible? I have heard that Sofia courses can be transferred but is there a definite list of what courses transfer? If I made no transfers would I never be able to finish in 2 sessions?

@btsrain16, Welcome to the board, I believe you're looking for the most economical yet effective/efficient way to get the Bachelors... That's a very good first post and summary but it's missing most of the required info for anyone here to help you further, you really need to provide us more details by following the template and last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Question: How do I complete either program in as short a time as possible?  It really depends on various factors, how fast you can do things and time management.  You've provided a great introduction and questions/follow up along with concerns, but it's still missing more important information such as your commitments, study habits, previous credits for possible transfer, etc.  

Question: I have heard that Sofia courses can be transferred but is there a definite list of what courses transfer?  It's actually Sophia, not Sofia.  If you haven't already reviewed some threads/posts of how others have done things, I suggest taking some time to review posts and the WIKI for details on UMPI plans. UMPI Links

Question: If I made no transfers would I never be able to finish in 2 sessions? Unless you're cheating and a superhuman that doesn't require sleep, can do 1 course a day, and have the greatest luck with professors marking those in a few minutes - NO.
Ask yourself, is it easier to go from 0 to 120 credits or from 90 to 120? Transfer in the max of 90 credits is your best and only option...

With the limited information you provided, my usual suggestion is to work on three things, Certs, Degree, Experience, just like an MBA, you don't need a BABA to break into that Masters, you just need the prerequisites done.  For example, start by getting the Coursera/Sophia.org credits for transfer into the BABA, up to the max 90 credits, after you create a spreadsheet with the UMPI plan I just linked.

If you transfer in nothing, it will probably take at least a year to finish at UMPI, if not longer. Fill out the GEC requirements and electives with Sophia classes and maybe do some Study.com classes to maximize your chances of being able to finish in two sessions.

This link shows you which Sophia courses transfer to UMPI and which area of the GEC they fulfill.

You can transfer in 4500 credits but only 90 will count towards your degree. You must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. The fastest and easiest degree has been the BLS with Management Minor and the BABA with Management & Leadership Concentration. The BLS with Educational Studies Minor is a slow program as there are a lot of papers and the professors are very picky about the papers. The BABA with Marketing Concentration can also be slow because there's only 1 exam in the Concentration and there are a couple of long (15+ pages) papers.

If you made no transfers, you may not be able to finish even one course in 2 sessions, the biology course. Lol.

No joke. That bio class at UMPI is insane. I can't believe how long it is. Then there's the whole waiting for the owl pellet to show up at your home. Such an odd thing to do in an online science class.
