UMPI Credits: Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate

[KSoul]

For those who are looking at UMPI, you should see what all the Coursera certs come in as because you can use these as "free electives" for the BAS or BLS, they allow up to 60  credits for free electives... I think it's a good idea for those going to a Pierpont BOG AAS, you need at least 40 "technical credits" anyways for entry into the BAS and you can select the MIS minor, then adding these into your free electives.

24 of those free credits must be UL with the majority of the 24 ULs completed at UMPI. Something to keep in mind.

Transferring the IBM Data Analyst Professional into UMPI for the forum will follow back if anything comes of it.

How did this transfer to UMPI. I think it was you who was completing an IBM data analytics certificate on Coursera. I remember looking up the certificate on the transfer database and it only listed 1 LL course, but that's what it shows for all of the certificates you've completed and you definitely got credit for more than 1 class.

Keep in mind that someone had a Google badge revoked by Coursera, possibly for speedrunning it: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ge-revoked

That is interesting! I had no idea a badge could be revoked. I guess it makes sense. They want people to learn the material not just try to pass the test kind of thing.

If Coursera or any provider is revoking badges, it is doubtful that it connects to their interest in student comprehension and is more connected to their interest in getting paid. There was no update from the OP, but I also thought it could be something as simple as a name or email match issue. On the other hand, there could have been a course audit that found problems with some of the projects submitted. 

And heads up, no matter how good of a test taker one is, there are way too many projects to wing these certifications. You will get exposed in week one of the courses, let alone weeks 2-5/6. Especially the IBM certs.
