Happy Canada Day!

  Advisor Assigned & Minor Questions
Posted by: colonelcamp - 07-01-2024, 10:03 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (13)

Hi Everyone,

I got my advisor assigned for my September 3 start and she's switching my program to BAS now (even before my august 2nd AAS conferral). I guess that's a nice time saver. Also, I asked what the minor options were under the BAS program and she gave me the following: Accounting, Criminal Just, Educ Studies, History, Mgmt, MIS, Poli Sci, Project Management, and Psych. In this link, there are a bunch more options for minors so I'm wondering if I'm only limited to these ones she gave me or if I could actually get any those minors. I'm considering the Mgmt minot, but I was also considering a Bussiness Admin minor so maybe I can double minor? I transferred a lot of Business ACE credits so I wonder if I can.

I sent her these questions and haven't heard back yet, but wanted to see what you all thought. By the way, since she reached out, she's been great. She gets back to me right away, even on weekends.

Thx!

Hello - I have found a university (global business university british virgin islands). They have a MBA too up option just for £1400 something. I am studying level 7 in finance and accounting. Just wondering if they would consider that for the top up or if the university would be a good option for top up.

I was wondering if anyone who graduated in May has actually received their BOG degree. I called last week and was told I should receive it by June 30th and haven't gotten anything.

Typical thinking might suggest the larger the brain, the more effective it is...
The bigger the brain, the better isn’t necessarily true... Interesting read!

  BA Liberal Studies Capstone
Posted by: sashaeliot38@gmail.com - 06-29-2024, 06:27 PM - Forum: TESU - Thomas Edison State University Discussion - Replies (14)

Can someone give me some info on the workload of the Liberal Studies Capstone. 
1. The online syllabus mentions that it has 4 written assignments + 1 final paper. Do the 4 assignments add towards the final paper? 
2. How does the workload for the guided study look like? Since there are no discussion posts in the guided study, where does the 20% towards the final score come from?
3. Which mentor would you recommend based on your experience? I just want to get this over with so I am looking for someone who is an easy grader. 

Thanks in advance.

  bjcheung77 - UMPI BAS Progress Thread
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 06-28-2024, 11:20 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (37)

I start July 1... Creating an accountability and progress thread for my UMPI BAS with triple minor, hoping to complete these in one single session.  I only have 10 classes to complete and most if not all of them are already in the "UMPI Master Review Thread".  It's best for me to illustrate it as follows, it'll be easier to 'see' the whole picture with colors indicating what I have and what is required.  See below for details... Red are the ones I have, ** All go towards the MAOL, # Adds up to 10 total

Management Minor Requirements:
#Take these two at UMPI instead of Study.com to round out the 10 required classes!
Study.com Business 209: Mentoring & Leadership Development in the Workplace - BUS 260: Leadership
Study.com Business 306: Strategic Human Resources Management - BUS 321: Human Resource Management

MIS Minor Requirements:
Sophia.org Project Management - BUS 141 Introduction to Project Management w/Microsoft Projects
UMPI BUS 200 Intermediate Business Computing
Study.com BUS 303 Management Information Systems - BUS 244 Management Information Systems
Google Data Analytics Certificate - BUS 245: Programming for Managers
UMPI BUS 345: Database Management Systems
**UMPI BUS 440 Business Analytics

PM Minor Requirements:
Study.com BUS 304 - Leading Organizational Change - BUS 240 Change Management
UMPI BUS 343 Project Risk & Cost Management
Google Project Management Certificate - BUS 400: Project Management Applications
UMPI BUS 401: Advanced Project Management Applications II
Study.com BUS 314 Advanced Operations Management - BUS 415 Operations Management
**UMPI BUS 469 Strategic Professional Communication

Remaining Electives Requirements:
**UMPI BUS 335 Organizational Behavior
**UMPI BUS 353 Legal & Ethical Issues in Business
**Classes exempt/transferable into MAOL later

Note: Previously, I have transferred a few of these classes from Sophia.org, StraighterLine, Study.com, etc, but, for residency purposes, I am re-taking these and for retaining previous knowledge, plus use 3 of the 4 classes that can go towards the MAOL as they can't be transferred into the MAOL (must be taken at UMPI for transfer).  

PS: Happy Studies Everyone!  I'll be on the board lurking from July 1 until the end of Summer Session 2, you can PM me if needed.

  I want to take an Online Bachelor's Degree in the USA but I'm a Filipino
Posted by: notmiu - 06-28-2024, 08:54 AM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Hellooo ! I apologize if I'm posting this on the wrong category.. I'm a Filipina (20 years old) with a philippine science high school diploma and some college credits from my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in DLSU, I only did 2 terms out of 3 (trimester system) and is currently on a LOA. While my first year of college wasn't my strongest academically, my high school diploma is considered prestigious in the Philippines.
I'm interested in pursuing an online degree in schools from the US, but I'm unsure how my academic background will translate. Additionally, many scholarships seem limited to US citizens.
Here's my situation:


  • I'm currently working in the Philippines and have no plans to immigrate immediately. Finishing my degree here seems financially prudent for now.

  • I'd consider using a relative's US address for applications, but only for educational purposes.
My questions:

  • Has anyone faced a similar situation as an international student?

  • Are there universities in the US known for being more open to international students?

  • What are the realistic odds of securing scholarships as a non-citizen?
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance :3

  Suggestions for BUS 200 Please
Posted by: SophiaPrincess - 06-28-2024, 07:47 AM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (7)

I'll be starting BUS 200 on Monday. I've been advised I should pick a topic for my assignments that is straightforward to write on, prepare spreadsheets on, and presentations about. Since I've never had a 'real job' I have no business experience to draw upon. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who has taken this course. Thank you.
