Degree planning advice/input wanted - AnonymousPoster - 03-13-2025
I'm adding an additional minor and trying to decide the best/easiest path. Currently, I'm enrolled in BUS 350 and contemplating dropping it to take it at Sophia, instead. If I do that, I'll have to take BUS 240, BUS 343 & BUS 469 at UMPI. If I keep it, I'll need to take BUS 240, BUS 343 & BUS 350 at UMPI. Either way, I *must* take 3 courses at UMPI.
The reason I'm thinking about dropping 350 and taking it at Sophia is because I heard that the Sophia version is much easier than UMPI and BUS 469 is a much easier class than 350. Is that true?
I'm currently taking Spanish and Biology at Sophia, so it wouldn't be any additional $$ to add 350. Thoughts??(I'm getting a BAS, so not as much flexibility as the BLS.)

Take BUS 350 on Sophia and take the other classes at UMPI.

As long as you've got 10 classes (30 credits) to complete at UMPI for residency credits and to finish off the degree, you can take whatever you want to transfer into the degree program. Just make sure it applies to the degree major and you're good to go, review the highlighted evaluation worksheet your advisor provides you and verify everything is in order...
Contrary to popular belief, it's a myth that the BAS is not as flexible as the BLS. In fact, the BAS is easier to finish, more flexible, and transfer friendly than the BLS due to the requirements are very similar but slightly different. Basically, BAS requires 18 UL in any area of the degree, BLS requires more and specifically, requires UL in the minors you're taking...
