=== 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.


===Requirements for UMPI===  
===Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses===
*30 credits worth of courses must be completed with UMPI
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.
*Students must take most of the UL concentration courses at UMPI.


===Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses===
===Source of Credit===
Start with [[Sophia.org]]. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so do only one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, do Instantcert. Finally do Study.com
 
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.


===How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?===
== General Education Curriculum Requirements ==
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 1-2 sessions @ a cost of $1400 tuition per session. 
'''How the General Education Curriculum Works'''


===How the General Education Curriculum Works===
Go through and find a course that will meet each '''required learning objective'''.
The GEC of UMPI is one of the most complex and hardest to understand of any college.


Some key things to keep in mind
'''Some key things to keep in mind'''

*One course can meet multiple objectives

*You need 40 unique credit hours worth of courses

If you are fluent in a foreign language, testing out becomes a viable option for any language. If you are a beginner, then BY FAR, it's quicker to take a Sophia course. Reportedly, doing a foreign language course at UMPI is said to be challenging. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid UMPI.

General Education Requirements[edit | edit source]

Here is a General Education Requirements that will work for all degree plans for the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) as of approximately December of 2024. 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.

Alt Courses[edit | edit source]

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.

Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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

General Education Curriculum Requirements[edit | edit source]

How the General Education Curriculum Works

Go through and find a course that will meet each required learning objective.

Some key 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
  • Duplicate means the course is listed multiple times. (This is done because one course can meet many learning objective requirements)

Effective Written & Oral Communication[edit | edit source]

The English Composition courses are reported to be somewhat easy at UMPI.

2D 2D Study.com Humanities 201: Critical Thinking & Analysis
2D 2A, 2B, 2D Study.com Communication 102: Interpersonal Communication

Note: This course has no writing assignments, so it should be quicker than Critical Thinking & Analysis. However, one part of UMPI's DB says this course is an English elective, and the other says it will fulfill 2ABD, so take it at your own risk.

Quantitative & Scientific Reasoning[edit | edit source]

For BA Business Administration majors, you would take Business Math instead of other math options. For all other majors, Business Math won't fulfill the 3A/3B requirement. For the College Math course, nobody has reported that it fulfills the 3A/3B requirement.

If you take Biology + Lab, then you need 3D (Take Environmental Science or Introduction to Chemistry). If you take Chemistry + Lab, then you need 3C (Take Introduction to Nutrition or Human Biology).

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE BIOLOGY AT UMPI, AS THAT COURSE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND CAN TAKE THE ENTIRE 8-WEEK TERM TO COMPLETE.

Global Consciousness & Intercultural Awareness[edit | edit source]

If you are fluent in a foreign language, testing out becomes a viable option for any language. If you are a beginner, then BY FAR, it's quicker to take a Sophia course. Reportedly, doing a foreign language course at UMPI is said to be challenging. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid UMPI.

This is because the exam requires the ability to comprehend spoken language. If you are a beginner, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to consider using Sophia as an alternative.
