So if you are considering (say) English/communications + educational studies, I think you'd want to go after the English degree first and then switch to the educational studies one.
They're actually super upfront about that. If you tell them you want to do English and Educational Studies Minor, they'll mark your plan to include both and you're not done until you finished the requirements for both.
Also good to know that they work with you nicely!
UMPI is easily the most responsive school here on this forum. They're more generous with ACE credits than TESU, COSC, and WGU are now with their new policy changes. You do have to complete 30 through UMPI, but, you can always split and do multiple degrees, etc.
They are very willing to work with you. They're super invested in your success, and respond to you quickly. I don't think I've ever waited more then 4 hours during business hours without a response.
After ss20ts got admitted they changed their ACE policy to be unlimited. They're very flexible with them now. They took all of my Sophia. Most came in as electives, but a few came in as higher levels. I inquired about Straighterlines/Study.com classes and they will meet a lot of targets.
