UMPI Questions - Application & Courses

[origamishuttle]

They have degree programs that are soley in person.

I think you mean there are degrees that are not offered through YourPace. That's because they can only offer degrees that can be completed entirely through the YP platform. However, any degree can be completed through YourPace if you meet the requirements. For example, many students, including me, have completed the BAS. How you meet those requirements is the question. There are different modalities for different courses, so you may go attend in person and pay the in-person tuition, or you may attend an online synchronous course that is also in-person, if they offer it, or you can transfer courses from other schools, etc., etc.

I was under the impression after you complete the RA you can just transfer in credits and graduate with any further degrees.

Yes, other students have reported that they have completed the 30-credit residency requirement (not RA - RA stands for regionally accredited) at UMPI through YP to finish their first degree and then transferred all the courses for a second degree, re-enrolling and paying for another YP session, but not taking any more UMPI courses. This would appear to allow a broader range of degrees because students were previously required to complete some of the major courses at UMPI, the vast majority of which are not offered through YP.

Do you have a specific goal in mind? Which courses are you planning to transfer?
