UMPI BLS with Minor in MIS Degree Planning Advice

[dfrecore]

You have WAY more credits than you need, so at this point, I would advise you to STOP and take a moment to figure out what you actually need to complete your degree at UMPI, and then ONLY get those courses that you actually need. Don't waste time on things you don't need to take.

What you still need:
2D. CREATIVITY: possibly PHIL102: Introduction to Critical Thinking and Logic at Saylor (a similar course at SDC works here)
3E. SCIENCE LAB: Bio Lab
5A. DIVERSE WORLD VIEWS: Sociology at Sophia or Saylor, or World Regional Geography at Saylor
5C. LINGUISTIC SKILLS: Spanish at Sophia
5E. CIVIC KNOWLEDGE: American Gov at Sophia, possibly Western Political Thought at Saylor

Complete these credits FIRST, and then go back and take additional courses if you really want to and have time.
--------------------
To answer your final question: no, taking a 1cr ASU course and then transferring it will not be any faster than sending a transcript for courses you've already completed. Again, don't waste time on things you've already covered.

Study for your Security+ exam AFTER you complete what you need to (that isn't a cert you need in order to finish the UMPI degree, so it should be placed lower on your list of priorities). Getting bogged down retaking courses, or taking courses you don't need, could derail you from your ultimate goal.
