I wanted to do some preplanning. I know I have to take 10 courses with UMPI, but I don't remember it saying which courses I had to take with them. Like I don't recall it saying I have to take 10 UL courses with them, just 10 courses. 

Based on my old degree audit, if it is still valid, again, not sure yet, I will need the following...

English 121
American Government
Hum 103 or some type of Art
Bio 105
Geo Human Geography or Intro to Sociology
Spanish I
Bus 260 Leadership
Bus 321 Human Resource Management
Bus 415 Operations Management
Bus 240 Organizational Change
And 7 UL credits

When I took a break, I didn't finish Spanish on Sophia, so all I have left is the "speaking videos" the rest are complete. I was wondering should I take those LL courses like English, American gov, HUM 103 and etc with them and then take the other courses through something like Sophia if they have anymore new UL or Study?

Is what I said even a thing? lol

You don't want to do Eng Comp on Sophia. It's long and slow. It's a short class at UMPI. Familiarize yourself with APA and you'll be good on that one. American Government is also a short easy class at UMPI. You can take US Government on Sophia in the mean time. Take Sophia's Intro to Soc class. You're in Spanish 1 right now. Business Law on Sophia transfers as UL to UMPI. Take Human Biology and the Human Bio on Sophia. Do NOT take science at UMPI. TOTAL nightmare and ridiculously slow. LAB HUM103 is going away. Right now they have ART108 which is a much better course for the GEC anyway. You could take some UL courses on Study, but keep in mind how many ULs you have to complete at UMPI.

10 (30 credits) classes at UMPI
4 (12 credits) of the concentration have to be taken at UMPI.
3 (9 credits) of the classes taken at UMPI have to be upper level and in concentration.

Sopia Business Law transfers in as upper level. Everything else at Sophia is lower level. Study.com has lots of upper-level - just check and make sure it transfers and that it transfers in as upper level.

That being said, the upper-lever courses at UMPI aren't always harder than the lower-lever ones.  

Bus 321, Bus 330, Bus 400, and Bus 401 seem to be pretty universally liked. I also enjoyed BUS 440 and 469.

It is generally recommended here to take Bio and Spanish at Sophia.

I think this is what I would personally do:

SOPHIA

English 121
American Government
Hum 103 or some type of Art
Bio 105
Geo Human Geography or Intro to Sociology
Spanish I
*Business Law*
Intro to project management (this is a prereq for BUS 400 and 401. It is easy. Bus 400 and 401 are pretty enjoyable classes and seem to be the favorite for almost anyone who takes them.)

UMPI

Bus 260 Leadership
Bus 321 Human Resource Management
Bus 240 Organizational Change
Bus 415 Operations Management
*Bus 321
*Bus 330
*Bus 400
*Bus 401
*BUS 440
*BUS 469.

I was going to the BLS because it is the easiest but also considered getting a BABA at a later time from somewhere like Texas AMUC I think it is called because having a BLS will change some of the rules on what courses are required.

How does doing both with UMPI work? I know the BLS has to come first because that is my "check the box" degree.
