BA in English – Professional Communication & Journalism Concentration

[rachel83az]

You can get World Literature through SDC. Intro to Literature and Intro to Creative Writing might also be at SDC (depending on UMPI's opinions) but ss20ts says that UMPI's classes are faster and easier than SDC's offerings.

I'm not seeing ACE courses for World Literature, Intro Lit, or Intro Creative Writing. Just some kind of exam prep courses. The only one I see for credit is Non-Western Literature. Maybe that would count.

I was very interested in this when I thought I would only need about 33 credits done at UMPI. Since that is more comfortable to complete in 2 terms. 

Since UMPI wants a foreign language, it seems like 46 credits at UMPI. I don't know about rushing to do that in 2 terms (since I want to maintain my last-60-credits GPA). 

(I know I could do the foreign language elsewhere, but that is one I prefer to do at UMPI. I want RA credit for a language.)

Maybe they will give me credit for some other courses even if they don't match as well. I have so many business and English credits at TESU.

In addition, that practicum course might be more work than the other courses. It doesn't seem like that course would be just 1 paper but multiple written pieces over the weeks. One article suggests that you create a portfolio and PCJ 214 seems to suggest that you write at least 3-4 pieces. Maybe more like 8? It all sounds fine to me, except that it sounds more time consuming. I don't know if I want to do 3 terms.

Edit: Looking at my old transcript, I think UMPI would give me credit for "ENG-151: Introduction to Literature". Still, that is 43 credits left if I do Business Comm at Study.com.

You're right; I got my wires crossed. It is Non-Western Literature at SDC. ONU DOES have World Literature, though. Although $150, it could still be less expensive than SDC's because there is no monthly cost while you read the things required for SDC's course. 

Intro to Literature could be SDC's English 101-103 (English/American Literature or Analyzing and Interpreting Literature) but it depends on UMPI's syllabus. COSC brings 102 in as Survey of American Literature and 103 in as just Survey of Literature. English 310: Short Stories could also potentially be Intro to Creative Writing. TESU brings that one in as Intro to the Short Story. I know COSC and TESU are not UMPI but it does show how other schools view these courses.
