Editing UMPI BA Criminal Justice Degree Plan

== BA Criminal Justice Degree Plan==
Here is a 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 [https://degreeforum.net/mybb/ DegreeForum] members '''ss20ts''', '''ashkir''', and others for making it possible to plan alt credits for degrees 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:
*[http://catalog.umpi.edu/content.php?catoid=3&navoid=118 UMPI GEC requirements]
*[https://peportal.maine.edu/psp/PAPRD89/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=PAPP_GUEST UMPI Database] (Click "Transfer Equiv," then "transfer course," select Presque Isle, then click on letter of institution. '''Warning: Can contain errors, contradictions, and anomalies''')
*[[UMPI Sophia Transfer Equivalents|Sophia.org Equivalency List]]
*[https://study.com/college/school/umpi.html 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.

Please refer to the [[UMPI !General Education Requirements Roadmap|UMPI GE Requirements Roadmap]] for details and suggestions on courses that will fulfill this requirement.
