UMPI Proposing 90-Credit YourPace BLS and Applied Psychology BA

Many institutions require a second language for their general education, not electives.

Is this true, though? It wasn't when I was an undergraduate, and that was mumble years ago. I haven't seen it be true for any of my kids either and that was obviously more recent.

State universities here require a language. Many private universities do as well especially liberal arts schools. May not be the same everywhere.

Many institutions require a second language for their general education, not electives.  It doesn't matter if you have over 90 credits for, it will not waive any requirements, unless you already have it from Sophia.org, Study.com, or another ACE option.  The only way to actually waive requirements for general education and electives, is if you already hold a Bachelors degree and going for a second one at UMPI.

Definitely agree!

I was saying that I thought that languages,
 as well as other classes,
 could be turned into electives 
   in some 90 credit programs.

I was just adding my 2 cents in on 90 credit degrees.

I think it will be interesting to see how these degrees develop going forward!

As Always,
I appreciate your great explanations!

There are many schools that do not require a language for their GEC such as MIT and NJIT. It is a Liberal Arts school holdover that should be an elective, especially for an Applied Degree.
