Yet another Pierpont to UMPI thread - What to take next?

[cclocks8]

1. Will pierpont accept my comm internship credits?
   
2. Will pierpont/umpi accept my D+ credits?
   
3. Which Major from UMPI do you think is more valuable and/or easier to complete?
   
4. Which classes should I take next to transition to UMPI? (I am planning on do the google UX course, because it will be helpful to me)
   
5. Has anyone done the portfolio option through umpi?  I have a very extensive resume, so it might be worth the cost.
   

1. Possibly, but not sure. As long as it's in the transferable credits section, they'll probably take them. If you need more Comms credits, Saylor Corporate Communication and/or Principles of Human Communication could work. I'd apply and send in your RA credits ASAP to see what they say.

2. I don't think so. C- is the lowest grade they'll accept, IIRC.

3. Project Management is highly sought after these days. I'd probably do that, if you're already interested in it. 

4. If you do Project Management, I'd do the Google Project Management cert. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera

5. Don't do this. Really, don't do this. The papers/projects that you do for the classes are going to be shorter than the portfolio requirements for each class. It's probably worth it for the brick & mortar students, not worth it at all for YourPace students.

Got it - avoid the portfolio! Hopefully the internship transfers - I'm feel lazy after burning through a bunch of classes.
