Congrats how many courses did you have when you initially started your program? How long did it take you to complete it all of it on average?

I had 14 courses to take since I wanted to do the BA in Business with a concentration in Leadership. I started the whole process on Sophia Oct. 4th, so start to finish it will be 5 months. I transferred in the typical 90 credits between Sophia, SDC, & ACTFL. I only did Spanish on IC and would not recommend it and didn't need it (they flagged me for a ridiculous reason and they seem to be doing it too often), as I had already done French under ACTFL. The IC Spanish covers reading/writing and listening and ACTFL is a quick exam and you pick if you want to do reading or writing or listening. I chose writing for French with only using the free Modern States course and had no problem. Don't do AG on IC either, as you can do it UMPI in an afternoon and it's actually very interesting. The final is a paper on your opinion of any political view.

It really varied, but I would say on average maybe 2-3 days per course depending if the final was a paper or multiple choice. I work full time, so I was just doing it at night or on weekends. Some of the courses took me longer than others. The Managerial Accounting final took me five days! As soon as I submitted a final, I would have Jessica add another course. At one time I had 3 drafts waiting to be reviewed and two more active courses.
