Roadmap to UMPI BSc Psychology 2025

1. Recognition in Europe: Would this degree be recognized in Europe? Could it potentially qualify me to register as a fully licensed therapist in any European country? I’d love to hear about any similar experiences.
   

You can check conditions for that in your desired country.
For an example of one that you probably didn't consider but is in Europe, Czech republic, you would have to get this degree through nostrification process in a local university, where they basically check whether the content is a match with their own accredited program. It is recommended that it is in accordance with EuroPsy https://www.europsy.eu/.
If it will pass, that will still not be enough - you would have to go through 4+years of further study and work under guidance of professionals and pass final postgraduate exam to become a fully licensed therapist.

Thanks for the input, Tomas. It sounds interesting! In principle, my goal isn’t to become a fully licensed therapist, but I’ve been researching the process, and it definitely seems like a possibility.

For now, I’m primarily focused on completing the Sophia credits, following the degree sheets I found in the wiki (which I must say is such a great resource). My plan is to finish all the Sophia courses before enrolling—though I’m still undecided whether to start this term or the next.

I wanted to ask if you think it’s worth pursuing Psychology 104: Social Psychology and Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology on Study.com. This platform is significantly more expensive than Sophia ($235 for Study.com compared to $100 for Sophia), and with Study.com, I’d only be able to complete two courses.

Would you personally pay $235 for 6 credits through Study.com? My plan is:

• 40 General Education credits from Sophia
  
• 9 Psychology credits from Sophia
  
• 35 General Electives (hopefully) from my previous bachelor’s degree
  
  

The main goal is still to complete everything in just one term at UMPI. Let’s see how it goes!

Thanks so much for all the help and support.
