Anyone got a Psychology degree plan for UMPI?

Hi everyone! I have been searching through this forum for a few months now. I'm still a little overwhelmed with it. Hope I'm posting this in the right place with the right format. 

So I am looking for some feedback and course suggestions for my current plan to complete my degree from TESU. 

I took advantage of the free TECEP exams back in September at TESU. I liked the format of studying and learning on my own and testing out. I chose courses that were mostly multiple choice exams and did well with them. [i]I'm really nervous to have to write papers and essays. I have not been in school since I finished my associate degree in 2010. I am out of the MLA loop or whatever format they are using these days. (Very nervous that I'm doing all of this and won't be able to make it through the Capstone...I'll cross that bridge later.)[/i]
 
I will write out my course plan below, but first...some info, questions and concerns. 

1. I do not have a concentration with my Liberal Studies degree but if you see where I maybe could, I'd consider adjusting. 

2.  All of these DSST and CLEP courses that I picked have expired or are expiring on 3/31/24. TESU has not updated their list on their website. Will these courses get extended? Who would know that I could contact?

3.  Should I even take these courses as CLEP or DSST?  Should I just do them all on Study.com or somewhere else you suggest? Study.com is how I studied for all of my TECEP exams. I liked the format although I know their actual paid courses seem a little more in depth than just their test prep. [i]Is there some other website or method of completing credits that I'm missing?[/i]
[i] [/i]
4. Do the 200 level and Upper level courses that I listed below fit in the Liberal Studies category? Do you suggest different courses for this area? Are there courses that are well known to be less challenging than others that I should consider? To me it seems these lower level history courses in the same genre as the upper level courses could be a good prep for the more indepth class? 

I am open to suggestions. So here is my plan for now...

***NOTE***
Info Literacy and American Politics are needed and are the only classes I can take at the 100 level. 

12 credits must be Upper Level Liberal Studies. (Those 12 credits are in addition to the 3 credit Capstone) 
The remainder can be 200 Level Liberal Studies.


CLEP - American Politics -POS-1100 - 3 cr
DSST  or STUDY.COM - Intro to Vietnam War - HIS-2460 - 3 cr
DSST  or STUDY.COM - Civil War & Reconstruction - HIS-2520 - 3cr
DSST - Ethics in Digital Age - ETH-2300 - 3 cr

STUDY.COM - Vietnam War - HIS-3510 - 3 cr
STUDY.COM - The Holocaust - HIS-3540 - 3 cr
STUDY.COM - American Civil War - HIS-4500 - 3 cr
STUDY.COM - History & Sys of Psychology - PSY-4000 - 3 cr

TESU - Info Literacy (TESU required course) SOS-1100 - 3 cr
TESU - Liberal Arts Capstone - LIB-4950 - 3 cr

Total: 30 cr

**Note**
I am aware that I may have to pay a fee/waiver for not taking a certain amount of courses at TESU. Although I don't know too much about that. It's confusing.

Thanks for taking the time to read and/or help me with this. I appreciate any feedback!

People should not be treated like 'lab rats' for the sake of science, I don't know what these scientists were thinking... In this or several case, it's actually dead person to a live person after receiving medical attention... I wonder if Alzheimer's is linked to other types of donors as well, outside of what's been informed of this article.

Hi Everyone... 

I started my BABA program by the recommendation of the admissions counselor which I regrettably took at heart without doing my own research. I was too focused on transfering the maximum credits that I did not place too much thought into my major. To be honest, I don't like the program much. I am working as an IT Technician and I think that a BAS with an MIS minor would be a way better option for me. I saw the wiki post and fell in love with the posted degree plan.
Anyways,
bottom line is:
I am really interested in switching to the BAS MIS program. I emailed Jessica about possibly switching and she let me know that I needed 40 technical credits but she also gave me the option to switch to a BLS program which I really do not prefer out of cultural reasons. 


What would constitue a technical credit??  

Here is everything I transferred to UMPI so far..

B&M (Penn State)

Micro and Macro Econ(ECO 207 & 2XX): 6 Credits Total
Intro to Stats for Business(MAT 101): 4 credits 
Website Design/Administration(COS 200): 3 credits
Database Infromation Systems(BUS 345): 3 credits
Python Programming(BUS 110): 3 credits
Intro to MIS(BUS 244): 3 credits
International Business law + 1 credit course: Came as GEL 3XX & GEL 1XX 4 credits total
Social & Ethical Environment for Businesses: Came in as BUS 2XX 3 credits
Legal Environment for Businesses: BUS 353 2 credits
English Course: Came in as GEL 2XX 3 Credits

Sophia Learning
Visual Communications: COM 1XX 3 credits
Project Managment: BUS 141 3 credits
Introduction to Ethics: PHI 152 3 credits
Ancient Greek Philosophers: PHI 1XX 3 credits
US History I: HTY 161 3 credits
US History II: HTY 162 3 credits
Principles of Finance: BUS 1XX 3 credits
Enviromental Science: ENV 110 3 credits
Communication at Work: BUS 210 3 credits
College Algebra: MAT 117 3 credits
Financial Accounting: BUS 150 3 credits
Intro to Business: BUS 101 3 credits
Art History I: ART 212 3 credits
Art History II: ART 211 3 credits

After I learned about the BAS option at UMPI I did the following: 

I was able to acquire the Pierpont AAS with an MIS AoA
I got the Google IT certification and the Google Data certification
Also... I am in the process of finishing an IBM certificate... That one will also be 10 credits as well.

My Questions:

Do you think this will be enough to get accepted to the program?? I heard some stories here and I am feeling pretty insecure.
I am also really young (21 yo) which I think puts me in a disadvantage in the sense of the BAS being an in person degree and everything... 


Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have any experience preparing for a Spanish CLEP?

Asking for a high school student who took and passed Spanish I-III, but didn't have the best teachers, doesn't show much enthusiasm, and seems not to retain much beyond the class assignments. She would like to attempt this in a pass/fail fashion to get that credit and hopefully not have to take a foreign language in college.

Hi, I had started taking Sophia Classes Years ago (back in 2021) in hopes of finishing up a BA. Sadly life happened and I was not able to finish. I have about 95 sophia credits, 4 community college credits (asl), and a couple study.com credits.

It seems so many things have changed, so many new classes and options have been added.

I need help figuring out the quickest way to get ANY Bachelors degree. I keep reading different threads here and getting more and more confused. Is there anyone here who does 1-1 consultations and degree planning (for pay) who can help me figure out the best and quickest way to get this done? I am open to any regionally accredited school and any degree. I can take more classes with sophia or study.com (or anywhere) if that will help.

I can list everything I have here but 1. I have no issue taking more sophia etc if needed and 2. I cannot figure out how to get my study.com transcripts without paying for a membership.

I think my main question is what school will take the MOST sophia credits, for the quickest degree completion and does anyone have a current degree plan using the newly added classes.

Again I will HAPPILY pay someone willing to hold my hand and walk me thought this. the forms and wikis are great but honestly my brain is spinning with all the information and will totally pay for help at this point.

Huge thanks to the folks on this forum as well as the Discord chat!

Hi folks. I've been looking to apply for different programs, but I've stuck with one thing, and I think I am not the only one. 
As an international student with specific situation, there is absolutely no way I can get my High School send transcripts to a U.S. university. Well, I can send the digital copies on my own - but never in this life my HS will send them as they usually wish.

What are the universities that accept you without High School/GED/etc transcripts? 
Possible scenarios:

• Accepted for first degree without HS/GED/etc transcripts
  
• Accepted for second degree if you have an Associate/Bachelor which you send transcripts for, but no HS/GED/etc needed
  
• Accepted for a degree if you transfer Sophia/SDC, no HS/GED/etc needed
