Good morning,
If I have a BA and a MA degree, but want to attend UMPI for the Accounting degree, do they do a block transfer of 90 credits? Or is there a chance I will have some prerequisite and General Ed classes I would need to take in addition to the required 30 credits for the accounting degree?

Thanks all.

Hi, I know Sophia courses transfer have changed, and some that previously counted towards Gen Ed are now considered electives.

Last year I was enrolled, and went through the credit transfer process and degree plan. However, I had a family emergency before I could officially register for classes. I still have my student number/login, and it still shows my degree progress report and transfer credit report.

I reached out to see if I could re-enroll, but they said I had to reapply, which I've done. Do you think that will change the credits I've already transferred in? They said they have all the documents I had previously sent, so I'd only have to send in any new credits. I'm hoping that means I'm good, but I'll be crushed if I have to retake some of these classes lol.

Also, since I will be enrolling in Fall 2, I can squeeze in on more class at Sophia or somewhere. I currently have 85 credits (that will all say the same, hopefully) so realistically I can only get one more class transferred in.

I currently need: 

• ENG 121 College Composition II 
  
• GEC-GLO 5A. (GEO 101, SOC 100, or SWK 105 )
  
• BUS141
  
• BUS260
  
• BUS321
  
• BUS415
  
• PCJ215
  
• 1 of these (Bus 240, Bus 350, Bus 352, Bus 353)
  

• ENG 1020 Workplace Writing II (19% completed, but not finished)
  
• Intro to Sociology
  
• Business Communication
  

I was planning to use Sophia for several courses then enroll at WGU. Since I have done more research I am thinking UMPI is a better option for me. I have found some degree plans that use Study and Sophia to get it down to 10 courses at UMPI but since the changes took place in May I am not sure if they are accurate or not. Does anyone have a current spreadsheet or list that is up to date for this degree accelerated? Are all the GEC the same across all majors at UMPI?

Is this accurate:

I have looked at plotted path and it seems like I only have to take these at UMPI:


PSY 311 - Research Methods I 3 credits
PSY 446 - Psychobiology 3 credits

Then 10 of the core psychology courses but two of which I can do on Study.com leaving 8 at UMPI:

PSY 200 - Social Psychology
Social Psychology (Study.com)
PSY 235 - Abnormal Psychology 
Abnormal Psychology (Study)

So far it's excellent! There was a bit of a snafu when they wouldn't let me accelerate some courses and when I mixed up some of my references... totally not a ChatGPT issue...

Things I like about WGU
Self-paced learning is excellent!
The free Grammarly.
Honestly, I thought I would hate the weekly check-ins, but my first mentor was phenomenal, and my second one is good as well, but she had some high standards to meet. And the check-ins do keep me accountable. 
The ability to not have to read every book, and I can rely on my work/life experience to help me through these courses.
I have ADHD like squirrel... but seriously, one course at a time is a lifesaver. 
I managed to get a health field-related scholarship!
This is legit taking years off of my goal to become a Therapist/Counselor.

Things I don't care for
If a new rule were placed, the recent changes to how accelerating courses worked. If it's just them enforcing the rule that was there, it still sucks. I lost momentum when all my assignments were turned in, and I couldn't accelerate my next course, graded or not. But now having to wait until only the last assignment is graded to start the next course is no bueno. I work nights and can easily get both of my assignments for a class done in just a few nights, as my job requires me to be present and awake. I went from finishing three courses but waiting to be graded to this, where only one assignment can be waiting to be graded.

Things I'm meh about
The computer access was very intrusive while taking an exam. It is what it is.
The library book system. Yes, I only want 150 words from this book...
I legit haven't interacted with any of my professors, except for the one for the reference issue. Introverted, so it's not necessarily a bad thing for me. It feels like a degree mill to me—that's my opinion. But I'm taking advantage of it.

Hi all--

I apologize if this has been covered. I looked, but if I overlooked, please feel free to point me in the right direction. I signed up with a Study.com Premium plan and have completed several classes with the idea that I'd get all the quizzes and assignments done and then switch to College Saver to submit assignments and take exams. When I went to change my membership, I see the following text as part of a larger message about switching (such as prorating, etc.):

"In addition, please note that your new College Starter plan has different course requirements than your current plan. Because of this, progress made on your current plan will not carry over to your new plan."

My panicked lizard brain is telling me that means all 5 of my upper level courses will have the quizzes reset and I'll have to start over. Has anyone switched over lately who can share their experience? The same message appears regardless of the version of College Saver that I choose, BTW.

I hope I'm misunderstanding, though I have no idea what the alternative meaning would be. It would be awful to think you might just decide to upgrade and be penalized for trying to give them more money every month. Plus why would anyone ever upgrade? I'd just close my account and start a new one to take advantage of a new user coupon, assuming I could find one.

I dropped out of 8th grade two years ago so I could start taking college classes. I want to graduate with a Bachelor's by the time I would have graduated from high school (Spring 2028). I will be 17 at that time. I've been considering Excelsior University because it accepts so many transfer credits. Is Excelsior the best path, or is there a better college, especially for my age? I'm legally homeschooled, so all of my college credits will count for high school as well. 

After my Bachelor's, I want to get a Master's and Doctorate, would this affect how I go about getting my Bachelor's? 

I would also like to graduate with a high GPA and honors. Of the two ASU classes I have taken I got a 96 and 100.

I really appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

Good morning all,
Would love your insight. I have a Bachelors of Arts degree (general studies) and a Masters of Arts degree in teaching. I have been teaching my entire life but think I should pursue the BS in Accounting Degree.

My question: which provider, Sophia, SDC, or StraighterLine should I use to get the maximum amount of classes completed that would go towards a future BS in Accounting degree? On a side note, I haven’t taken any business or accounting courses in either my undergrad or graduate degree.

And lastly, is there a certain school that is least expensive to complete the remaining credits for the degree? I was thinking Liberty but of course they don’t have a BS in Accounting degree.

Thanks all.

Hello all, I was here about 2 months ago, and received some great advice. I used AI to help build a course load, and began my path on my first college degree. That said, I don't know that I inherently trust AI, and could use a bit of your expertise to ensure I'm on the right path!
