Thanks, Rachel. I will consult with Jessica when she returns to UMPI on November 20. One more quick question. I do not have any math, although I plan to take algebra from Sophia. Do I also need statistics to meet the GEC for a BLS/Education Studies? I have to admit my fear of math has kept me from completing my degree decades ago!
May I have the wiki link to compare all sophia.org classes broken down by challenges, touchstones, milestones etc. TIA!

Don't forget this one, specific to UMPI, for GEC requirements. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UMPI_Sophia_Transfer_Equivalents

That's right, review the degree requirements, create a spreadsheet that is viewable (not editable) and link us to your google/one drive, we can comment on the requirements. Here's the UMPI WIKI, review the general education and specific degree requirements, update that on your spreadsheet for reference and tracking purposes: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

Hi everyone! Since my last post here as Lady_Gumshoe, I've completed Human Bio with an A, and almost done with their Human Bio lab. I plan to complete Intro to College Math, Environmental Sci, Art History I and Spanish 1 at Sophia too before UMPI's term begins on Jan 16, 2024. Have I overlooked any Sophia classes I still need? I'm enrolled at UMPI and my classes have been selected. This board has been fabulously helpful!

jearl, did something happen with your original account? Is there a reason for a second account? If you're having issue with a password or something with your account, the admin/webmaster can probably fix/reset that for you.

Apologies for the redundancy. I'm on separate computers and apparently have dual accounts. I will delete one of them.

Intro to Anthropology
Anthropology Elective (Physical Anthro)
Intro to Criminal Justice
Sociology of the Family
American Government

Grand total of accepted credits=69
RE: Help with planning BLS degree - bjcheung77 - 12-02-2023
Did you apply to UMPI yet? Do you have an evaluation from Jessica/UMPI? It should show you what you are missing, the bulk of people who complete the BLS have 24 UL electives to take outside of the minor. These can be something else, such as a different minor, or you can take classes that you have interest in, or even take the 3-4 classes that can go towards the UMPI MAOL.
