University of Maine at Presque Isle

[MNomadic]

I’m narrowing down my options (for my last semester) between Capella Flexpath or UMPI Yourpace. I’m surprised to see zero responses for this program, it’s the best self paced program cost that I’ve ever seen.

* they’re adding an AA & BA Liberal Arts in spring 19’

I'm surprised too. Although I guess it depends on their residency requirements and how many transfer courses they allow through Alternative Sources.

"Students in Bachelor’s degree programs may earn a maximum of 30 credits(From PLA)." 

Not sure if that's counting CLEP, ACE, DSST, etc since those are all listed in the PLA section of the site.

Here's a list of all the test out/PLA sources they mention:

Military 
AP/IB 
CLEP
DSST 
Excelsior 
Challenge Exams 
Language Exams
Credential/External Training Review 
Academic Portfolio Assessment
ACE- Courses recognized by the American Council on Education though taught by non-accredited training organizations can receive UMPI credit.

The University may assess the transfer of credit from non-regionally accredited institutions on a case-by-case basis.

Portfolio Assessment may also allow students to provide evidence of successfully completing a MOOC program or OpenU work.
