UMPI degree in BABA (or anything BA with Masters option down the road)

[rachel83az]

I think 4A might actually be waived for YourPace students. But I don't want to 100% say that it is because I could be incorrect and/or they could change it at any time.

Which classes do you see that are different? They look the same to me. They're just in a different order and most of his credits came from Sophia where most of yours come from your CC.

3D says "Students will be able to describe environmental or physical aspects of the Earth and its abiotic systems, and discuss humankind’s effect on and place within these systems." It's possible that Astronomy will apply to this requirement, but it doesn't really cost that much time take Environmental Science at Sophia to be SURE that the requirement is met.

I think I managed to match out everything except BUS-489... I don't see that one on his plan

PJC-215 is Bus-210
and the Elective 300+ he used Bus-350

[rachel83az]

I think BUS-489 is a/the capstone course. I'm not sure if @ashkir didn't need to take it or if they added it since he got his degree.

Just a note or reminder, you can try getting up to 90 credits towards the degree, but remember to take at least 30 and a majority of them should be Upper Level at UMPI to finish off the residency requirements. You can take a language course such as Spanish I from InstantCertCredit if you're missing a language. I'm not sure if your Astronomy Lab will hit the science requirement, if it doesn't hit the requirement, you've got Bio I w/lab or Chem I w/lab at Study.com...

So...

There seems to be a few questions about what credits might be accepted for what courses... How do I figure out what to take to meet requirements and still not apply to the school to get a credit evaluation?

[rachel83az]

If you want to be 100% safe, just take the Sophia/SDC courses that we KNOW will meet the requirements that are in dispute. You might wind up with credit overage on your degree, but you'd be sure that those specific GEC requirements are met. Each Sophia course should take 2-4 days and you can't start at UMPI until March now anyway.

An extra $200-400 now could potentially save you from having to pay for an extra UMPI session.

Thanks, That is is the plan...

Sophia courses I have planned and the requirement they fill.

Microeconomics - 2nd half of my Macroeconomics
US History I - GE 5B requirement
Env Science - GE 3D requirement (Because we are not sure AST-101 will fill the need).
Conflict Resolution - BUS-210 (would this meet the PCJ-215 requirement? instead of Comm at work? Comm at Work has a touchstone and Conflict Resolution does not).

[rachel83az]

Conflict Resolution should work. But the Communications at Work Touchstone is literally just a short employee memo. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes and needs no citations. If you did that one first, it'll probably be done and graded by the time you finish your second Sophia course.

4A isn't waived for YourPace students. We have an orientation we go through that fills this requirement. It's non credit. We still have to meet the 40 credit requirement of the GEC. 

Environmental Science on Sophia does fill 3D so stick with that. We don't know if an astronomy class from elsewhere will fill this requirement. I do know Environmental Science from Sophia fills this GEC. It did for me.

You can't take BUS 489 anywhere else. There is no transfer equivalency. It's not a true capstone course either. Also keep in mind that along with the minimum 30 credits taken at UMPI that the majority of your UL courses also must be completed at UMPI. This is a requirement.

[uncoolbilly]

Thanks for all the help... I updated the google sheet and thing the plan looks good at this point. Comm at Work has replaced Conflict Res. in the latest draft.
