English Comp 102 advice needed

[dfrecore]

When I first decided to continue with my education was back in 2017. I found this forum back then, and a lot of the posts were regarding TESU for the BSBA GM degree. UMPI was not option I remember seeing back then. I am locked into the 2017 catalog, only because i tried and failed to pass the BUS-421 Capstone, this was right before they made it mandatory to take the class.

Jumping from TESU to UMPI is intriguing. I did look at some previous posts regarding UMPI, which left me with some questions.

It seems a person would need to have 30 residency credits at UMPI. Can those units be split between 2 AOS. Example BABA Project Management and a BABA Management and Leadership.

Are there some classes that I have to take at UMPI or can I transfer them in.

Would I need to have all of my non-UMPI courses done before send in my transcripts for an evaluation.

I have included the Academic Evaluation from TESU.

So, my first question is, are you still locked into that catalog?  Because if you registered for a TECEP in 2017, then your enrollment should have expired after a year, and you should have been kicked out (ok, that's probably the wrong word, but you get my drift).  You would have lost the enrollment and would need to reapply as a new student, making you have to take the cornerstone as well as the capstone.

Honestly, if you're still locked in, then you're probably better off at TESU because it's so easy to finish there.  You don't even need the cornerstone, you just need the capstone.  Yeah, it's a pain to pay for the residency waiver, but to only have to take a single course - I'd give it some thought.

If TESU extends their military "benefits" to vets (it doesn't say they do on their website, so I don't know), then you should DEFINITELY make sure you're locked in and then do the degree there - because then you take the capstone for $750, 7 TECEP exams of your choice for $1050, and you're a "resident" and don't have to pay the residency waiver. $1750 plus minor fees.

If you're still locked in, you may also want to see if you can take Prin of Finance and Prin of Marketing as LL, and have TESU move MAR-301 and FIN-301 to the AoS.  They used to do this, not sure if they still do - but it then makes your path even easier.  You just need 2 UL courses instead of 4 at that point.

Honestly, I'd get the TESU thing situated prior to making any decisions about switching yet.  If you are locked in, you may choose to stay because it's easy to finish.  If you're considered military, then it's cheaper to stay at TESU.  If you're not locked in, then your cost goes up a lot.  And if you're not military and not locked in, then it's easy - make the switch.

For the UMPI BABA degree, it is not like the BLS in that there are not nearly as many electives, and the concentrations are 8 courses instead of 6 - so if you choose 2, then you have 15 courses to complete there (there's 1 course of overlap). I would consider applying, and seeing what's left, and figure out how much it would cost to take the remaining courses through Sophia and Study.com, to leave just 10 courses at UMPI (I'm going to guess that you should leave 6 courses for the PM concentration, and 3 for the major, and try to take the rest through other options).
