Basic Question About Sophia Touchstones

[rachel83az]

@RachelB, you want to maximize your transfer from alternative course providers such as Sophia.org, Study.com and so on to a max of 90 credits and take only the minimum 30 credits at UMPI.  You'll get an evaluation to see where all your credits go and you can decide to take specific courses that are required at UMPI or transfer them in...

I wish there was some excel or other file that can tell you EXACTLY what 90 credits you can transfer in, and what 30 you should/need to take at UMPI xD

It's going to be different for every student and degree. Some degrees have about 100-110 possible credits to transfer in, leaving it up to the student to pick which courses to NOT transfer and to take at UMPI. Some students would rather complete (for instance) some UL Accounting credits at UMPI and transfer in Sophia's US Government. Others might prefer to complete the UL Accounting credits at Study.com and take UMPI's version of US Government instead. It all boils down to the strengths and weaknesses of an individual student.
