Many folks on the board have found UMPI to be very transfer friendly.  The courses might vary depending on the program you choose.  The Management and Leadership one has more room for electives, if I recall correctly.  Sophia and other similar providers are a great way to get back into studying and find a good pace.  If you can move through the courses quickly, that might help you determine if you can keep up the pace for accelerating through a competency based degree.  (It sounds like you definitely have the motivation). My suggestion is to start with Sophia and complete as many courses as possible that might apply to your degree plan.  Sophia is the lowest cost, and  has a decent number of course options.  They provide all the course materials which you can reference as you move through the course.

I have noticed that most UMPI grads suggest taking the English Comp courses at UMPI due to speed and ease.

Sophia has been adding courses somewhat regularly.  So there could be new options that are not yet included in the Wiki and degree plans.

Those folks are right. From my findings too, I have found UMPI to be transfer-friendly and I have pitched my tent with them. And, as you rightly advised, I am going through Sophia to rack up as many credits as possible. Please, could you help confirm if the info on this link - https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents is still relevant or if you have any other resources that can help me narrow down what to study on Sophia? Thanks for your time

You decide your path, we just provide possible avenues of you to explore and see what fits.

In regards to what I mentioned earlier, in short, it's exactly that... UMPI BLS two minors in Management & Psychology, they don't have concentrations or any other majors for the BLS, the major is the Liberal Studies.  For BABA PM&IS or another concentration of your choice, you can also add the Psychology minor.  Again, it's a BA Business Admin major, PM&IS (or whatever you want that's offered) concentration, plus the Psych minor...

Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful response. I have decided to for BABA Management & Leadership Concentration with the hope of stacking it up with Psychology minor. My last question is... Do you have any tips, hacks or strategies that can help me run through the credit-racking process faster?
