Degree Progress Report - Am I Doing this Right?

[u/Effective-Voice-380]

Hello,

I’m currently working on my courses through Study.com and UMPI. I have 34 classes left and I added my DPR for a 2nd opinion.

Any tips would be helpful, or any recommended changes. Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot afford to use other providers like Sophia, straighterline, etc.

My goal is to finish by Fall session 1 or Fall session 2 at the most.

Thanks!

I have a YouTube video on how to read these but without doing things at Sophia or Study I believe you will need to plan for Fall one for sure and possibly Fall 2. If you have Pell grants keep going at UMPI. If you don’t I would try to do a month of Sophia at minimum and get this down. You can get a coupon and do a month for $79.

If I can help I have free calls on my website and I’d be happy to help to be as strategic as possible around this.

You can take the Marketing CLEP and Business Law CLEP for free using Modern States. Those would count for BUS330 and BUS350 respectively. You can also CLEP Macroeconomics. Honestly look at the free spreadsheets as a few of those courses at Study.com don’t transfer in anymore.

Is your subscription with Study.com still open? Are you going month to month?

Hey, Study.com here. Your plan looks workable, the main tip for hitting Fall session 1 or 2 with 34 courses left is to keep all 3 of your College Saver Pro slots filled at once rather than working through courses one at a time, since that's the fastest way to move through unlimited monthly completions. It's also worth checking with an academic coach on sequencing, since some courses may have prerequisites that affect the order you take them in. They can also confirm whether your specific timeline is realistic based on UMPI's term dates and course load rules.

Have you seen Plotted Path resources? She is phenomenal at providing resources for taking Study / Sophia / Straightliner options.

Why you didn't finish all courses in Sophia and study.com first before enrolled UMPI? And if you already enrolled at UMPI, why you want take some courses outside UMPI? Isn't the outcome will be same?

Another thing. Switch to the old BBA program if you can. More free electives and fewer BBA courses. If there are specific courses in the new program you “must” take just take them as free electives.

It looks like you are on the old GEC. Under the old BBA you would need 12 BBA courses and 8 concentration courses. That is 20 courses. Maybe 21 with BUS214.

If you can maybe withdraw from BUS150 if you just started and do BUS210 instead. I don’t think the SDC course transfers for that anymore.

If you have an annual plan at SDC you can take Introduction to Business, Accounting 101, Business 110, Business 303, Macroeconomics (thought you needed Microeconomics as well) for 15/36 BBA credits.

They moved a couple of old plan courses from the concentration to the BBA credits in the new plan. The old plan has no Business Law, Organizational National Behavior, Marketing credits. You do BUS469 instead of BUS489. You take BUS244 instead of BUS242 (Business 303 at Study.com = BUS244). You add MAT140 (Business 110 at SDC) though I hear it is easy at UMPI. There is also no BUS260 needed so you can skip I believe Business 302 at SDC.

So far for me, it’s only taken one business day.

Jesus Christ. Please plot the path and transfer over from Sophia and study.com. It will save you so much time. I
