Help w/ Degree Plan. Thanks in Advance. - Wonderofu - 08-23-2023
Hi everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I am currently working on enrolling into UMPI, but I would like help with my degree plan for the BABA in Acct Degree.
I graduated from my community college in May, but I also completed classes through Sophia and Straighterline.
Could you guys take a look at the list below and tell me what other classes I should take through Sophia and/or Study?
I want to make sure that I can transfer the 90 credits as I was told, but not sure what other classes to take.

@Wonderofu, Just wondering if you're just looking at UMPI BABA Accounting specifically or have you checked out other institutions such as TAMUC, TESU, etc, and you missed the addendum, I highly recommend you completing it to provide a better overall picture of your situation. By filling in the budget, commitments, tuition assistance or reimbursement, study habits, we'll know which options would be better for you, either doing a 15 credit flat rate or paying for the residency waiver fee.

UMPI is all im interested in.
I will work on the addendum tomorrow.
In theory I need to transfer 9 classes, but unsure what 9 classes I should take at Sophia/Study.

Right off the bat, I don't see Spanish/French in your completed classes, nor Human Bio lab. You need both for UMPI. Visual Communication is another good one (for GEC 2D).
Have you checked the degree plan for your chosen degree? If it can be completed at Sophia, DO IT. If it needs to be done at SDC, maybe do it.

From what I see on the site, I have to take the following classes.
Business Administration Core Courses
COM 210: Organizational Communication
BUS 101: Introduction to Business
BUS 150: Introduction to Financial Accounting
BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing
BUS 220: Managerial Accounting
BUS 244: Management Information Systems
BUS 325: Financial Management
BUS 353: Legal & Ethical Environment of Business
BUS 440: Business Analytics
BUS 469: Strategic Professional Communication
ECO 207: Macro & Micro Economics
MAT 140: Mathematics for Business
Concentration Courses
BUS 350: Business Law I
BUS 352: Business Law II
BUS 361: Intermediate Accounting I
BUS 362: Intermediate Accounting II
BUS 376: Independent Auditing
BUS 377: Federal Taxation I
BUS 378: Federal Taxation II
BUS 464: Advanced Accounting

I actually meant these plans: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI Both for GEC requirements and the degree itself.

Degree plan:
Sophia
Human Biology Lab
Spanish I
Business Communication
Critical Thinking
5 additional credits of Free Electives (maybe Visual Comm, and 2 1cr courses)
SDC (optional, but can reduce number of courses you need at UMPI)
BUS 303: Management Information Systems
BUS 310: Advanced Business Ethics
ACC 201: Intermediate Accounting I
ACC 202: Intermediate Accounting II
ACC 302: Advanced Accounting
Doing all of the above courses would put you at needing 9 courses at UMPI, so skip at least 1 course listed.

@Wonderofu, You can do a combination approach of what is within the WIKI options, what I mean by that is to work on the trifecta of certs, degree, experience. For some of these courses, you can take the Coursera/TADA option instead of a Sophia.org/Study.com course, making it probably a little cheaper, easier, faster overall. In the end you want to mix/match the trifecta of certs, degree, experience... I would do everything you can from Coursera/TADA and Sophia.org, then use Study.com for anything else that you can transfer over.

How do I know what transfers from Courtesa/TADA? Is there a wiki for those courses that transfer?
