Google Career Certificates & WGU Credits / UMPI Credits Comparison

[LakeMomNY]

I can't tell you for certain if UMPI will take them all, but my fiancé just applied yesterday and he has these ACE-recommended certs:
Google IT Support, Google Digital Marketing, Google Project Management, Google Data Analytics, AWIT Cloud Product Management, IBM Data Analyst Professional, IBM Data Analysis and Visualization Foundations, IBM Data Science Professional, IBM Applied Data Science

I'll definitely let the forum know what transferred once he gets his eval back.

You can check for ACE-recommendations in the ACE National Guide: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/

BTW, if you are interested in knocking out some Coursera certs, check out https://theamericandreamacademy.org/

I never even knew this existed!  Thank you!

I've got 44 credits ready to go at UMPI, and was trying to develop a pathway that is the most efficient, I'm not a person who builds the plane as they fly it, I need to have a clear path defined.

I just edited my post, so if anyone reads it, I think the BOG AS Degree at Pierpoint doesn't count as a AS Business Degree for the WGU purpose of what I posted.

UMPI definitely takes Google Project Management and Google Data Analytics. I transferred in both. They are ACE recommended for 9 and 12 credits, respectively. Whether or not it is actually a plus to take them vs courses at UMPI will depend on what courses you need and especially how many electives you need.

I was able to complete the Google Certs for free using the Coursera free trial, and I did them while I had lag time at UMPI waiting for Milestones to be affirmed. Ultimately, though, I still wouldn't recommend them to most people. I kinda wish I had spent the downtime binging Netflix instead.

I don't have any information on any other Google Certs either way.

Is there a way to find an ACE recommended list somewhere?  I took a Certificate Program at University of AZ for Digital Marketing that is well-known to be superior to that of the Google Digital Marketing certificate, but I'd have to challenge it.

When is my EC at UMPI going to reach out to me?  So far, I have only seen my degree report in my student portal. I have not received the official audit report yet, how long does it take to get that e-mail?   So I haven't been able to ask any follow-up questions or get any direction, or even change my start date. Can you tell me what the process is for this?

I don't think you will ever hear from the enrollment counselor again. If you have questions, you probably want to reach out to Jessica Winslow. Who, unfortunately, is very busy.
