UMPI Yourpace BA in History/Political Science

[kidneysmasher]

I finished this degree in 2.5 terms with out much stress, but I'm a history buff. I completed my last class in the first week of this term. I was trying to maximize my Gi Bill money.

None of the classes have exams. The milestones cover the lesson and usually require a minimum of a 500 word essay. The professors give you some freedom on what you write about.

If you look a couple posts down, I did a review of this degree.

The course material is decent. It's straight to the point and allows for you to do some follow on research on areas you enjoy. They have a lot of documentary's embedded that are worth the watch, but if you are comfortable with the material you can skip it.

The final's are either a 5-8 page paper or a 20-30 slide PowerPoint with 2,000 words. However, the instructors give you some freedom on what you choose to do your final over.

If you like history then you'll have no problem with these classes.

For one of your electives, I recommend HTY370 Native American History. Probably the best course I took.

I also did the Early, early modern, modern Europe classes back to back and they work well together.

The history and poli sci courses are papers or PowerPoints. There are no exams in the history or poli sci courses. The only program with exams is the business department. Even there lass than 25% of the classes have an exam.

five of my wife's Business classes were exams. She said the exams were tougher then writing.
