  On the cusp on applying to UMPI
Posted by: CFPhopeful - 02-14-2024, 06:47 PM - Forum: Degree Planning Advice - Replies (6)

Your Location: Illinois, United States

Your Age: 23, 24 in a couple months.


What kind of degree do you want?: finance/economics/accounting/business

Current Regional Accredited Credits: 
BUS 230 Principles of Finance

EGL 101 Composition I

MKT 131 Principles of Marketing

PSY 101 Introduction To Psychology 

(12 credit hours total)

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none, but willing to take as many

Budget: No budget 

Commitments: no current commitments 

Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. 

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none.

I want to finish my undergraduate as fast as possible. Not to toot my own horn, more-so to give insight, but I’m a pretty “smart” student and dropped out of a top 20 school, I have a pretty good understanding of business, numbers, etc. 

The only “exceptions” for degree that I have is that I want it to be in the field of business/finance/accounting. I am a very driven and motivated individual and I’ll be spending as much time as I can completing this. I just want to check off the degree and have it from an accredited university.

Also I should take Sophia/Study/etc credits prior to applying, right? It would mean a lot if I can get somewhat of a timeframe from how long it might take me. I will do as much sophia/study/etc credits and as fast I can. I will also do my UMPI/other uni courses as fast I can, but I assume theres some “hold up” with grading and other things. So I’m curious as to how fast I may be able to finish.

  Bachelor/Business Management
Posted by: QueenBeeBand - 02-14-2024, 04:46 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello all! I am trying to locate a spreadsheet or form that shows all the classes I can or would need to take before enrolling to UMPI. I am aware of study, Sophia, straightliner, CLEP, etc. I would love to find this list so I can tackle all the classes outside prior to enrolling so I can take on UMPI with ease. The less classes the better. Extra note: I would be transferring in an AAS Business Management so I am sure that’ll help a bit. (Not all my credits will transfer over) Thank you all!

  UMPI Degree Help - Bachelor of Applied Science
Posted by: asdfasd78 - 02-14-2024, 01:58 PM - Forum: UMPI - University of Maine at Presque Isle Discussion - Replies (13)

Hi everyone,
I'm currently a student in the Bachelor of Political Science program at UMPI and am considering switching majors. While I appreciate the program, I'm hoping to pursue a field with less emphasis on writing essays and align more with my skills and interests.
Background:

  • I have completed a significant number of computer science courses.

  • I hold certifications in:
    • Meta Professional Certificate in Digital Marketing
    • Google Digital Marketing and Commerce
    • Various marketing-related certifications from LinkedIn and Coursera
  • My UMPI evaluation indicates I need 24 classes to graduate.
  • [size=undefined]I'm awaiting credit evaluation for the Google Ecommerce and Marketing course I recently completed.[/size]
[*]Questions:


  1. Which majors within UMPI offer minimal essay writing requirements? My strengths lie in analysis, problem-solving, and communication through other mediums.

  2. What is the process for switching majors at UMPI? What steps should I take to ensure a smooth transition? can i have a bachelor's in political science and digital marketing at the same time ?

  3. Which majors, considering my computer science and marketing background, could utilize the most credits from my current coursework? I'm eager to minimize credit loss and expedite my graduation timeline.

[*]Thank you in advance for your insights and guidance! I look forward to your responses and any advice you can offer.

  Cured! World First!
Posted by: bjcheung77 - 02-14-2024, 01:40 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

A few others, children, were treated through tests, and this individual was the only one 'cured'. Hopefully, through more advancements and research, it will be a reality for many more children, youth, adults, and seniors.

Currently, there are two approved preventive vaccines (which I thought was for something else altogether)

  Pierpont AAS Questions
Posted by: homeschoolmom1 - 02-14-2024, 12:31 PM - Forum: Associates Degrees Discussion - Replies (8)

Do you have to be at least 20 years old for the Pierpont Governors A.A.S.? Or just at least 2 years since high school graduation?

In other words, if you graduate high school at 16 years old, could you get the A.A.S. at 18 years old?

  Just 16% of community college students transfer and earn a bachelor’s degree
Posted by: Ares - 02-13-2024, 10:49 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Just 16% of community college students transfer and earn a bachelor’s degree

Quote:Just one-third of students who started at community colleges transferred to four-year institutions, and fewer than half of those students earned a bachelor’s degree in six years, new research from a trio of organizations found. [...]

Community college entrants in 2007 had a bachelor’s degree attainment of 14% — meaning this level of degree completion has only climbed 2 percentage points for students who start at these institutions. [...]

Older students, defined as those ages 25 and over, showed only a 6% bachelor’s degree attainment rate.

I never realized it was that low.
