UMPI Plan and Progress

[AirborneAgent]

This thread is a follow up on my first post on Degree Forum where I inquired about which path to take at which school.  After that discussion I decided to pursue a bachelor from UMPI.  That thread can be found by clicking here.

Attaching the template filled out with updated information.  As you can see significant progress was made on Sofia and Coursera.  The Sofia and Coursera courses and certificates appear to transfer to UMPI per their very helpful transfer equivalency tool which can be found by clicking here.

I applied to UMPI on 07/05/2024.  Transcripts sent 07/05/2024.  Accepted 07/17/2024, with a Fall 2024 semester start date of 09/03/2024.

1. Law Enforcement Officer - Excelsior offers 39 credits for the academies I attended, as do several others.
   
2. Airline Transport Pilot (FAA) - Several colleges offer ~35 credits, Liberty offers 40, but I do not think UMPI will as they do not have an aviation program.

6. Google Project Management
   
7. Google IT Support Professional

According to the credit transfer tool on the UMPI website referenced above:

• IBM Cybersecurity Analyst - 10 credits of GEL 1XX.  
  
• Google Project Management - 3 credits of BUS 1XX, 3 of BUS 3XX, and 3 for BUS 400 Project Management Applications.

I am planning on either a BABA MIS and Project Management, or a BLS with triple minors Management, Business Administration, and Project Management.

I will keep this thread updated with what UMPI accepts as credit, the amount of credit awarded, the courses that credit covers, degree program advised by the counselor with my credits and the goal of quick completion, degree program selected, minor selected, courses taken at UMPI, and the timeframes for course completion.

I look forward to any input, questions, comments, concerns, or encouragement anybody may have.
