How do ECTS credits map to a US degree?

[Mint Berry Crunch]

Hi


I’ve only recently started looking into ways to complete a degree as cheaply and quickly as possible, but I found the post about ECTS credits from the University of Turku, along with some other discussions about similar Finnish universities offering free or online ECTS courses.

I know the ECTS are only worth about 0.5-0.75 credits, but how do I know if those credits are counted towards the specific degree I apply for at UMPI or UMass Global to reduce the amount of credits I have to take? I’m not from America, but I assume say, the Finnish as a Foreign Language credit wouldn't help if I wanted a degree in business from UMPI?

Sorry if this whole post has been a stupid question, but I don’t quite understand the US university system (doesn’t bode well for my degree if I can’t figure this out, I guess, does it?)


Thanks for any help.

Here's the information you need for applying to UMPI as a foreign student:

As for what transfers? Hard to say until its evaluated. When it is, you'll then know what courses are remaining which you can follow up with through Sophia or Study.com
