UMPI BLS Project Management Degree Plan

Bachelor's Liberal Studies Project Management Degree Plan

Here is a Liberal Studies Degree plan for the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) as of approximately June of 2023. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.

Credit to DegreeForum members ss20ts, ashkir, and others for making it possible to plan alt credits for degrees at UMPI.

Requirements for BLS

• Students must take a minimum of 24 credit hours of UL electives beyond courses taken for the general education core and minor requirement & most of the UL courses must be taken at UMPI

Alt Courses

The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students regarding which courses will be the easiest and quickest to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest to complete. Sophia is mostly used since it's the fastest/cheapest of the alternative providers for most courses. 30 credits worth of courses must be completed at UMPI.

Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses

Start with Sophia.org. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows two courses to be open at one time, so only complete one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, move on to Study.com.

Source of Credit

This degree plan was made using the following sources to map out all the alternative credits:

• UMPI GEC requirements
• UMPI Database (Click "Transfer Equiv," then "transfer course," select Presque Isle, then click on letter of institution. Warning: Can contain errors, contradictions, and anomalies)
• Sophia.org Equivalency List
• Study.com Official Transfer Guide
• Compiled List of Courses and Corresponding Tests (For CLEP, AP and Straighterline course options)
• Sophia, Study.com are the recommended course providers in this degree plan.

General Education Curriculum Requirements

There are a total of 40 credits worth of General Education Requirements.
