Like I said in the pm, everything from Sophia except Eng Comp 1 & 2 and the foundations courses. Spanish 1 and American Government on InstantCert and Biology 101L on Study.com. Then you'll complete your MIS courses, Eng Comp, and UL courses at UMPI.

Sophia's class is not the PMI method for project management. UMPI follows PMI's methodology. Intro to Project Management at UMPI is needed for the UL PM courses which are projects following the format and template you create in the intro class. If you don't take the intro class and learn the format and create your template, you have to learn that for the 2 400 level courses and these are BIG projects for the Final Assessment. I took intro to pm at CSU Global and still requested to take UMPI's course because I thought I would learn MS Project but I didn't, but I did learn more about pm from the course. Little did I know I was learning the format and template I would need later. I was not a PM minor then. I was an MIS minor then and added PM after taking the intro course. 

My recommendation to take Intro to PM at UMPI has nothing to do with evaluating a PM course. It does not conflict with anything. It has to do with making the Final Assessment MUCH easier thus faster. If you have to learn the format and create the template - which you won't know if you did it correctly until you submit your rough draft and it comes back - then you will be spending a great deal of time on those 2 courses which are required for the PM minor.
