Editing Pierpont to UMPI Degree Plan (section)

= Post-Pierpont instructions =

The above includes recommendations to fill the BOG AAS requirements as quickly and as easily as possible. While waiting for Pierpont to confer your AAS, students will want to take additional courses to bring their credit count as close as possible to 90 credits. Two essential GEC courses that were left out of the above degree plan are GEC 3E (lab science) and 5C (foreign language).

For GEC 3E, there are currently 1 recommended course. Biology 101L: Intro to Biology w/ Lab from [[Study.com]] is most recommended due to reported ease. Students may also choose Biology 107L: Clinical Microbiology w/ Lab or Chemistry 111L: Chemistry I w/ Lab. These courses rely on virtual labs instead of having to wait for physical lab kits as you do with [[StraighterLine]]. Earth Science 104: Intro to Meteorology is listed as a possible course, but this is thought to be a mistake due to Intro to Meteorology having no lab component at all. 

For GEC 5C, is strongly recommended that students who are fluent in a non-English language take an [[ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages)|ACTFL]] exam if possible. Otherwise, Spanish I at [[InstantCert.com]] is suggested. Students who are following the above plan but who intend to go on to a degree in History should instead choose  Spanish 101 & Spanish 102 from [[Study.com]]
