Sophia (and others) to UMass BBA - skinnerbat - 01-09-2024
Hi all,
Newbie here. I'm interesting in pursuing a BBA at UMass Global but want to cut down on time and cost by using Sophia, straighterline, etc first. I found the UMass info on this to be a bit confusing. Has anyone done this for this specific school/program? I'm looking to get the most from the ACE programs before transferring.

@skinnerbat, Welcome to the board, that's a great start with a basic introduction and quick question. Having said that... What you should do is provide us even more details on what you're trying to do and an overview of your situation by completing the addendum and template here.

Note: UMass Global was Brandman before it got renamed, the main reason people decide to go with UMPI or another institution is that, UMass global requires the ACE credit to be 81.5%+ instead of the usual 70% for ACE credit, another example is COSC who recently bumped them to 80% as well, these have dropped COSC and UMass a notch. I suggest other institutions for now, such as TESU/UMPI, etc.
