Friends, I need to take the following accounting courses at UMPI. Can anyone tell me how difficult and time-consuming these courses are?
They are BUS 348: Cost Accounting,

BUS 352: Business Law II
BUS 376: Independent Auditing
BUS 377: Federal Taxation I
BUS 378: Federal Taxation II
thank you all.

Additionally, I also have a message to share. Although ENEB is assessed by ECE as a bachelor's degree, after my personal experience, UMPI will not waive the GEC requirement if there is only an ECE evaluation report from ENEB.

Wondering how long UMPI takes to respond to an admissions application to YourPace and transcript submission? I submitted the Credly transcript to [email protected]. I have not even received an auto generated email confirming application or transcript receipt. I understand their program is growing rapidly. Should I follow up with a call? If so, to whom? Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I am pursuing a Business Administration degree w/ conc. International Business at SNHU. I have 50 Sophia credits. GPA should be 3.6+ by the time i graduate. I have a native level proficiency in both French and Arabic. I need to know what my options are for Grad School? little bit worried about the Sophia credits on my transcript. Anybody gotten into a top 100 grad school with a similar profile? If so, which school was it? what was the program? Any input would be greatly appreciated. 
Many Thanks to Everyone here, you have all been very helpful to me throughout this journey.

Hi there. I'm new here, and have kind of stalled out until I make a decision regarding next steps... any advice is greatly appreciated!

I have a couple of decades worth of experience in Ops Management, but am tired of my current industry in general. I never obtained degrees until very recently, it took me about 2 months to finish the Pierpont BoG requirements. I've been continuing Sophia credits slowly while waiting for the diploma and pondering which direction to go next. I'm interested in an Industrial Organizational Psych degree, as I feel that my skillset can support similar roles (even HR or consulting) in other industries, and would like to have a degree that is somewhat flexible. But, am not set on it and I don't believe that UMPI offers it. How much does specific degree type really matter in this instance? SNHU does offer the I/O Psych, however, I don't prefer the slower pace. Prefer open book tests, and am absolutely fine with writing papers. Thanks again for any pointers or suggestions!

Your Location: Michigan, United States
Your Age: 44
What kind of degree do you want?: Interested in Industrial Organizational Psychology, open to suggestions.

It's been a while since we had one of these! I decided to start them up again to encourage new folks, and to inspire others!

Summer is coming quickly! Session 1 is on May 6 and Session 2 is on July 1. 

Is it too late to apply?
No. You have until June 11th to apply to join the Summer 2 class. If you miss this deadline, the next deadline is July 26, 2022 for Fall 1. 

It is highly recommended to have a lot of ACE credits before you apply! 

If you're applying, feel free to tell UMPI where you found us when you talk to them (Ashkir's name is St Nicholas). DegreeForum they're also aware of. Facebook, Sophia, etc. They spend alot of money marketing. Tell them where their market is  

Is UMPI right for me?
If you are self-motivated, yes. If you need a counselor pushing you every step of the way, no. If a family member or spouse can push you, then yes. UMPI takes almost ALL ACE Credits.

What is UMPI?
The University of Maine at Presque Isle (pronounced Presk Isle), which abbreviates themselves to UMPI (and pronounced Umm Pe), is a publicly funded state school by the University of Maine system in the far north of the contiguous United States bordering New Brunswick and French-Canada in Aroostook County, Maine.

What does the diploma look like? Is it real? Are there graduation fees? Etc.
There are no graduation fees at UMPI. Their diploma is the same for all students that attend UMPI and they do include your Latin Honors on it. Latin honors are as:

• Cum Laude 3.5 to 3.69 GPA
  
• Magna cum Laude 3.7 to 3.89 GPA
  
• Summa cum Laude 3.9 GPA and up. 
  

• Assessment Quizzes that skip your knowledgeable areas.
  
• Milestone discussions where you need to respond to a writing prompt from your professor.
  

• Cheer fellow students on! 
  
• Don't put down other students.
  
• Ask questions (but be nice!).
  
• Encourage others to make a great education choice. UMPI may not be for everyone.

Finally got the greenlight to walk 

Greetings to all,

I have a family member looking to complete a Bachelor of liberal studies - management minor at UMPI, capitalizing on Sophia credits to transfer 90 credits to the degree. The current requirements are as follows: 40 credit hours GE courses, 18 credit hour courses of Management minor (Bus 141 Intro to project man with Microsoft projects, Bus 240 Change management, Bus 321 Human resource management, Bus 415 Operations management, PCJ 215 Business communications), 62 credits Electives.

This family member is starting from scratch with no previous credits. We are in Canada. She is currently working a full time job so evenings and weekends are available. Need a ticked box for promotion. Prefer as little proctored exams as possible. She speaks Mandarin (but cannot read or write it, she immigrated at a young age). 

Is the following list still applicable from Federicojavier?

Many more protests are happening at universities, here's an article about the subject...

I understand some US graduate schools do not recognize those non-regionally accredited credits. I transferred in 113 credits to Excelsior College, and I am applying for a graduate program, and then they replied to me.
"Please note, we do not typically accept LLCs or study.com as valid credits for a degree."
"To be able to review this previous educational history we will need to see either a WES or ECE evaluation, against US degree types, for the transcripts mentioned. The transfer credits you listed are not associated to a degree program at a university, therefore we cannot verify that they would count as credits to a US degree."

I would like to ask if my 113 ACE and NCCRS would be recognized by WES or ECE ?

Thank you so much for your help !

Hi DegreeForum,

I came to the forum ~ a moth ago and posted this: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid416161, asking your guys' advice on choosing whether Management Leadership or Project Management track and I have decided to go with the Management leadership track, and I also need to thank @bjcheung77, @levelup and @ss20ts.

In the mean time I read a few degree plans on this forum and wikis, and this degree plan this the one I am going with: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-for-3-222, 

In the past month I have knocked down a few courses on Sophia(54 credits) 



Your Location: Ontario, Canada
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Business undergrad for now, MBA or Georgia Tech OMSA later
Current Regional Accredited Credits: My past undergrad school in China is a disaster in paper work and now the campus I went to got shut up. So basically no

But I do have an MCIT(Master of Computer Information Technology) from NAU(Northern Arizona Uni) 30 credit hours of grad-level studies

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 
Sophia Credits: 54(but a lot of them have pretty bad grades like in 70% or 80% since I was rushing it, but later finished courses got better grades was in 90% since I got more used to this format, if I want to apply for some good grad school, does grades on sophia matters?)

Ancient Greek Philosophers

Haven't move on to Study.com yet.


Any certifications or military experience? I have a CompTIA A+, PMP, Coursera Google IT and Project Management, and Meta Front End Developer. Also Google Data Analyst in progress(yes I study for fun)
Budget: under 6K USD for undergrad, 10-20K for OMSA or UIUC iMBA
Commitments: Only part-time employment, newcomer to Canada, and my past work experience was not that much recognized
Dedicated time to study: 30-40hrs a week
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I am looking to finish in two sessions,  one session would be even better
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No, but maybe OSAP will grant me a small loan after I receive my PR
