History Degree

[ss20ts]

Right now, the only finalized degree plan is available here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-for-3-222 and it's not for the history degree. But I think the GEC is the same. I think current UMPI students have access to a list of which SDC courses come in as what, so maybe one of them can look up whether or not any history courses have been transferred in yet. 

BABA: 40 GEC credits, 18-21 electives, the rest in the major & concentration.

History: 40 GEC credits, 31-32 electives, the rest in the major & concentration. You also need SIX credits of Spanish or French to the other degrees' three.

Without knowing for sure, I would suggest the following possibilities:

• POS 101: American Government - InstantCert
  
• POS 211: Introduction to Political Thought - UMPI
  
• FRE 101: Elementary French 1 - No
  
• SPA 101: Elementary Spanish 1 - Spanish 101 @ SDC
  
• FRE 102: Elementary French 2 - No
  
• SPA-102: Elementary Spanish 2 - Spanish 102 @ SDC
  
• HTY 301: Medieval Europe - UMPI
  
• HTY 454: Slavery in United States - UMPI
  
• HTY 315: Greece, Rome, and the Early Church - UMPI
  
• HTY 350: U.S. Environmental History - UMPI
  
• HTY 400: Discovering and Interpreting Local History - UMPI
  
• HTY 456: Films of the Cold War - UMPI
  
• HTY 401: Oral History - UMPI
  
• HTY 115: World Civilization 1 - UMPI
  
• HTY 116: World Civilization 2 - UMPI
  
• HTY 161: U.S. History 1 - Sophia
  
• HTY 162: U.S. History 2 - Sophia
  
• HTY 439: The Vietnam Wars - History 308: Causes and Effects of the Vietnam War @ SDC or take at UMPI
  

There is also this page for Sophia transfer equivalents: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents Between all this, you should be able to come up with a plan to at least come pretty close to hitting the golden number of 90 transfer credits.

An alternative would be to do Spanish 1 at InstaCert, which is also cheaper. 
HTY 115 & 116 - World civilization 1 & 2 can be done at straighterline or SDC.

This leaves 8 upper level courses to be done at UMPI: 

• HTY 301: Medieval Europe - UMPI
  
• HTY 454: Slavery in United States - UMPI
  
• HTY 315: Greece, Rome, and the Early Church - UMPI
  
• HTY 350: U.S. Environmental History - UMPI
  
• HTY 400: Discovering and Interpreting Local History - UMPI
  
• HTY 456: Films of the Cold War - UMPI
  
• HTY 401: Oral History - UMPI
  

• HTY 439: The Vietnam Wars - UMPI
  

In addition to 

• POS 211: Introduction to Political Thought - UMPI
  

and 

• HUM 103: Creative Decision Making - UMPI
  

As far as I understand the rules, it is difficult to transfer in HUM 103(correct me if I am wrong), so the student might as well do the course at UMPI. 

This will make a total of 10 courses, and will exactly fulfill the credit residency requirement. I am personally considering doing the history major at UMPI, and this was what I came up with as the most efficient ACE/UMPI combination of courses.

If one already has completed a studio art course at another college then you can transfer that in typically to fill that GEC requirement. If not then you have to take HUM103 at UMPI. before taking those Study.com history and Spanish courses you may want to check with UMPI that they will transfer in as you hope. They've been reevaluating Study.com courses and how they transfer in. You also have to complete a specific number of UL courses at UMPI. Each degree plan has a specific number required in the major and outside of the major to be completed. This is in addition to the 30 credit minimum.

Something else to consider with Study.com courses is the time and cost. Some of their course have a number of papers to write. At UMPI you have 1 paper to write. Study is $200 a month and you're limited to 2 exams. More than that and you're paying $70 per exam with a cap of 3 additional exams. Then there's the proctors which if you're not comfortable with is something to consider.
