I just need to vent a bit. And I also know why I am here.

I know none of us are here to expect Harvard, and most of us knew what we wanted and just want to get it over with and move on with ourlives. We all wanted accredited school, low cost, time-flexible, and man isn't UMPI yourpace sweet in that.

But man some of the courses I've finished felt like it was put together in one semi-drunk afternoon. The content was either a series of youtube link that was 7 years old, a link to a blog on either investopedia/betterup/atalassian. Like, thanks for choosing and vetting(which I admit has some real value) my youtube feed for me? 

And also there is just broken content: In one of my liberal arts classes which I guess most people tranferred from Sophia,
 we were supposed to analyze U.S. murder trends. There’s literally a slide that says "Chart" with a broken symbol of image where the graph is supposed to be. That’s it. No graph. Just “Chart.” It's one than one classes, and I stopped sending email to those instructors after the second one.

Okay now I feel better, and to be fair, not all classess are like this  I’ve had a few gems, like one of my accounting classes where the instructor actually gave incredibly thoughtful and detailed feedback. You could tell they cared and wanted us to learn something beyond just checking boxes. So it’s not hopeless—it’s just wildly inconsistent and lack a universal quality control.

Sorry for anyone who read this and I might wasted 45 seconds of your precious life. I just needed to vent and now I am already feeling better.

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone had a similar path or advice. I don't have a degree so I am working through courses on Sophia to get as much credit as possible to transfer into the BA Accounting at UMPI. Upon successful completion then do the Masters of Accounting at WGU, then get the CPA, I am in TX and have read mixed reports about them accepting sophia courses, though it appears I can do the CPA exam in a more friendly state and transfer in to Texas. How does this plan sound, anyone done it before? Any advice? Thanks!

Hello there, 

I hope you’re doing well! I’m currently exploring my options for graduate school after finishing at UMPI (BABA Management and Leadership), and I’m trying to decide between pursuing law school or an MBA program. I would really appreciate any insights or advice you might have. 

How feasible is it to get into graduate schools? How much does having 90 Sophia credits change everything? I believe I'm a good test taker and am confident I would be able to get high GMAT/GRE/LSAT scores.

I want to find a University that IS a Christian-Affiliated University.
Can you help me find out where I can find the right Christian University, for me:


I hope that Christian Universities can receive more funding. After all: I haven't felt great at hearing about how small the Religions department was at my University.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science (Summa Cum Laude) from UMPI completed in 2024. 

The plan with this degree is to teach in High Schools and unfortunately it isn't really useful outside of that. I want to diversify my skills/resume so if I ever do want to career change out of education, I have a path to do so. Is it worth getting another Bachelors or should I look to get a Masters in something? I don't have a specific career in mind, I just want to have the backup plan in case I need it. 

I am looking for 100% online, I enjoyed the Competency Based Education and enjoyed the lack of exams at UMPI. I could do exams but proctored exams may be difficult to do with school hours and responsibilities.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I signed up for the SDC all you can eat. 3 class slots supposedly. But I have been waiting almost a month for grading and although they did initially respond to a customer service enquiry a week ago saying they would look into it, they've been silent ever since. I am starting to think this is a scam. 

It isn't unlimited classes, which is how it was advertised, if they are going to take a month to grade things and free up the class slots. I am actually incredibly annoyed to the point I am thinking about escalating my complaint to the BBB, because frankly this is false advertising.

Anyone had any luck contacting them via something other than the generic customer service form?

It’s been a long time since a I’ve been on this forum, almost 7 years. I am finally ready to commit and put my mind into getting a bachelors in hopes to also getting a Masters in Library Science. I understand that Sophie/Saylor is one of the ways to go about it, but I don’t know the exact plan. I’ve been reading some threads on here, but haven’t found anything with my specific path. I was looking at going to TESU since you can put more credits (I believe if I got that right ). Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated! r

Hi guys, I am in the last week of my Cornerstone and Information Literacy at Excelsior for a Bsc in General Business (I was able to transfer in 113 credits which I earned through Sophia & Study.com). I am starting the Capstone course on the 1st of September but I am unable to get any info or reviews online whatsoever about the course except the syllable on Excelsiors website. If anyone on here has done the Capstone course, how is it structured? How much time should I be setting aside for the course compared to the Cornerstone and Info Literacy?

When I complete my degree at Excelsior, I want to immediately do the MAOL through UMPI so I need to start planning now. To those who have done the MAOL at UMPI, how many sessions did it take you to complete the courses? If I want to complete my Masters on a budget, could I be able to finish all 12 courses in 2 sessions or is that a little too ambitious? What is the fastest that people on here have completed it?
