For all of those interested, I recently obtained an email (this morning) from O.P. Jindal University. They are changing their prices for the MAPP and Master in International Relations, Security, and Strategy via the partnership with Coursera from 6k to roughly 3k for those who may be interested. The degrees are also being streamlined from a 2 year format to a 1 year format. Per the email:

Hello, I'm new here and I have some questions about how the online diploma process works. After doing some research, I came up with a plan. First, I want to choose a school, then gather as many credits as possible from resources like Study.com and Sophia, and later enroll in the school and transfer those credits. Is this how the process works? For the school, I am considering TESU, which accepts international students. I am here to understand the process and figure out what kind of plan I should follow.
Regarding the new General Education Curriculum (2024-2025 Course Catalog) what Sophia science course will meet...
3. Quantitative & Scientific Reasoning
Learning Objectives E
"Students will perform scientific inquiry including aspects of the scientific method, such as observation, hypothesis, experiment, evaluation, and communication."
Quote:Already have an Associate’s degree in a trade or technical area? Want to pursue a bachelor’s degree that complements and incorporates your prior college work? Then our Bachelor of Applied Science degree is specially designed with you in mind. Our BAS builds on degree work you’ve already completed and complements it with a Liberal Arts education so you can attain your bachelor’s degree in the shortest amount of time possible.
The Four Components to the Degree
You need to:
Have an Associate of Applied Science degree from an accredited community or technical college.
Meet the University general education requirements worth 44 credits, some of which may be transferred in from his/her associate’s work.
Select a minor from offerings in the current UMPI catalogue.
Take at least 30 credits of your BAS coursework at UMPI, 12 of which must be in a selected minor and 18 of which must be upper level courses (300- 400). These 18 upper level credits taken at UMPI may be taken as part of the GEC, the minor, or as elective credit.
I'm all set to begin my BLS in Spring 1 and plan to take 5 UL History classes to satisfy the History minor and UL elective requirements. I'm looking for the latest recommendations on easy/fast UL History classes to take. Feedback on these 7 classes and/or any other UL History classes would be appreciated.

Hi, I’m new to this forum and looking for information that can help me as I plan on applying for the BABA – Project Management & Information Systems at UMPI, do I need 12 classes in UMPI or 10? I’ve completed the Coursera IBM Data Analyst Prof. Series Cert. Does that count for BUS 440? I’ve also completed IBM Data Analysis & Visualization Spec for BUS 345, Google Project Management Certificate for BUS 400, and Google Data Analytics Certificate for BUS 245. I’ve heard these certificates also count towards electives and if that’s true then how many more electives would I need for the degree? I’m taking most classes on Sophia and I did BUS244 and BUS415 on SDCM. The 10 classes I plan on taking at UMPI are BUS150, BUS200, BUS220, BUS325, BUS469, MAT140, BUS141, BUS240, BUS343, and BUS359. I plan on taking BUS101, BUS353, ECO207, and COM210 on Sophia. If there are any suggestions on classes that would be better to take or any issues with the classes I’ve chosen please let me know. I’m currently taking 14 Sophia classes for GEC because I saw that certain classes count twice to fulfill the requirements.
Hey all. been lurking for about a year now, but I'm finally looking to jump in full force to get a degree! after a long time deciding what I want I think the path I chose degree wise is the best for me. Ive attached the degree plan I intend to follow and am hoping for any advice. It looks a little rough but it has all the relevant info.
Your Location: California Your Age: 23 What kind of degree do you want?: BABA w/ concentrations in mgmt & accounting + mgmt information systems minor Current Regional Accredited Credits: none Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none Any certifications or military experience?: none Budget: none. willing to spend whatever needed, but hoping to minimize amount of sessions at UMPI Commitments: job 9-5, none otherwise Dedicated time to study:4ish hours after work, willing to hunker down and spend most weekends studying. estimated 25-30 hours a week Timeline: hoping to have as much as physically possible done before august 2025. at minimum, I would like to have finished all credits that I plan on transferring in. dedicated time to study becomes practically nonexistent after that until December. Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none
More Relevant Info: I followed ashkir's 6 month BABA plan as closely as I could, using their spreadsheet as a template, making adjustments based off of the most recent info on catalog.umpi.edu . I also added a management information systems minor, as well as a second concentration in accounting. I would like to complete my degree in as few sessions as possible at UMPI. That being said, according to the plan I will be following, I have an additional 3 classes I can still transfer in, But im not sure which ones I should/could/can. Wit that in mind here are the main questions I have:
Which other classes should I transfer in and from where?
Are there any courses on my current plan that are redundant/unnecessary/outdated, and which courses should I replace/consolidate them with?
Are there any courses that are overly time consuming at UMPI that I would be better off taking elsewhere, and if so what courses should I swap them out with?

Hi all, I really want to get a degree in Geography with a focus in GIS. Myself and hubby are South African here on visa’s and in the process of getting our green card so do not qualify for any financial assistance. Have been looking around and found Liberty University who are offering a BS in Geography - Physical Geography. With all my reading and researching I can definitely get a couple of transfers in with Sophia and Study.com. They also offer a 15% discount through Sophia. Basically just wanting to know if there is a sample degree plan for this and if this is the cheapest/quickest option?
Thanks in advance!!

I currently have an associate's degree from Pierpont and I'm 29 (M) out of Austin, TX. I previously ran my own arbitrage business, but I disliked greatly. I've worked with kids, though, and I do enjoy the work. I would like to go into mental health care with an emphasis on children. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Here are my thoughts: I would prefer to do the bachelor's online, maybe a Bachelor's in Psychology from UMPI, then ask for letters of recommendation from all the professors. This might increase my chances of getting into the LMHC Master's program. I feel I should take as many letter-grade classes as possible. I used Sophia for all but one letter-grade class from Clackamas for my associate's degree from Pierpont. I'm open to an online Master's program, as long as it's hybrid and I could actually get a degree, but I'm totally open to a physical location for the Master's if it's feasible.
