The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.
Credit to [https://degreeforum.net/mybb/ DegreeForum] members '''ss20ts''', '''ashkir''', and others for making it possible to plan alt credits for degrees at UMPI.
 
=== Requirements for BLS===
=== Advantages of a Liberal Studies Degree ===
* 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 [https://www.umpi.edu/files/academics/programs/Program_Requirements_TA/Latest/LiberalStudies_BLS.pdf must be taken at UMPI]
 
===Alt Courses===
* The fastest degree program to complete
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.
*Uses the most Sophia credit which reduces cost
===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.
=== Residency Requirements for UMPI ===
===Source of Credit===
* 30 credits worth of courses must be completed with UMPI
This degree plan was made using the following sources to map out all the alternative credits:
*12 completed credits with UMPI must be in the major
*[http://catalog.umpi.edu/content.php?catoid=3&navoid=118 UMPI GEC requirements]
*9 completed credits with UMPI must be upper level credits
* [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''')
 
=== Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses ===
Start with Sophia. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so do only one course at time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, do Instantcert. Finally do Study.com
 
=== How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits? ===
How long to complete depends on various factors such as experience, time commitment, the efficiency of studying, etc. However, considering you spend at least 20 hours a week on your studies, completing this degree could take 2-3 sessions. 
 
=== How the General Education Curriculum Works ===
The GEC of UMPI is one of the most complex and hardest to understand of any college.
 
Some keys things to keep in mind
 
* You need at least one course to meet each objective
* One course can meet multiple objectives
* You need 40 unique credit hours worth of courses
 
Some degree programs such as business administration may require a specific course such as MAT 140.  Taking MAT 140 would meet requirements of 3A/3B thus then you wouldn't need college algebra in this case.
