What is an ONLINE Class that UMPI doesn't offer that you wish they did?
#1
When you did your degree (or as you are) with UMPI is there a class about something you wish you could've studied at UMPI that wasn't really an option, but you feel should be one?

Share it here! Thank you Big Grin

Personally, I think it'd be cool if you could take sign language instead of French or Spanish. I know it's an option for non-YourPace students!

Sign language would be a GREAT option! I looked at taking it at a local community college but it was going to cost almost $1000 so I passed.

I wish there was more project management classes, but that's my passion.

I know a lot of people would like a psych and a CS/IT degree.

Cool suggestion! We learned some sign language in second grade (back in 1982). One of the local churches actually offers free classes in sign language. (It’s a large Church). I wonder if there might be some free options at a church near you. It’s a Christian & Missionary Alliance church.

When I was a kid, the church my family went to at the time had a lady "who knew sign language" come in and teach us how to sign "Our God is an Awesome God". I don't remember any of the signs now, but that's okay because I did look up some of them at one point and they were entirely wrong.

I only wanted to take it for the foreign language requirement. Anyone can learn on YouTube but there's not credit for it.

UMPI probably would have sealed the deal with my a while ago if they had the HR concentration.

Thank you everyone! Any other classes please share with me! I love the idea of sign language and HR.

I think a wider variety of history choices would be cool too.

More history would definitely be good.

Possibly more English courses? IIRC, UMPI proper has a pure English degree while YourPace has English/Journalism. But it's only missing one or two classes to make the pure English degree possible.

Statistics and Calculus. Widely required for graduate business admissions. Would go hand-in-hand with a YourPace CS degree...wink....wink.

More classes in economics and finance. Upper-level economics classes are really hard to find online and tend to be pretty expensive. Could be a way for UMPI to further differentiate itself from the crowd. These courses tend to math-centered, so, see my above comment.
Master of Accountancy (taxation concentration), University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, in progress. 
Master of Business Administration (financial planning specialization), University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, in progress.

BA, UMPI.  Accounting major; Business Administration major/Management & Leadership concentration.  Awarded Dec. 2021.

In-person/B&M: BA (history, archaeology)
In-person/B&M: MA (American history)

Sophia: 15 courses (42hrs)
