Quickest route to Bach with lots of transfer credits
#11
Simple answer is to wait for how they evaluate your 101 credits. UMPI will take the bulk of your credits, up to 90 towards the degree, the classes should all be general education and electives. You should complete the 10 classes for residency (30 credits) that are within the major.

Do the credits count towards the RA requirement? I'm currently figuring this out w/ TESU and trying to know if my credits from community college count towards the RA requirements before I start with Study/SOphia

All community college credits will come into the general education and electives, depending on the degree, some may even fit the concentration or major requirements... You can transfer in a max of 90 community college credits as these are lower level, if from a 4 year college/university, then up to 114 credits as some of these are going to be upper level.

UMPI doesn't have an RA requirement like TESU. You'll be required to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI.

Just because you have 101 credits doesn't mean that they will fulfill 90 credits. Do you have 2 English courses? Foreign language? Biological science? Physical science? Science lab? Math? Art? Look on the wiki for UMPI to see what you have completed so you'll see what may transfer.

This online school currently offers the cheapest BA in psychology that I am aware of.

Less than 2,000 dollars total and has DEAC accreditation.... I do not know if DEAC programs are acceptable in your state to get into an MSW program, so you would have to check.



This is their policy regarding transfer credits....

To clarify, it is a Bachelor of arts with a liberal arts major and a concentration in psychology, rather than a bachelor's degree in psychology. The difference is that it has fewer psychology credits than a psychology major.

Nonetheless, a really neat school.
