General Education Requirement

Here is a General Education Requirements that will work for all degree plans for University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) as of approximately March of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.

Alt Courses

The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students regarding which courses will be the easiest and quickest to take.

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.

How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?

Terms are 8 weeks long. Typically, you will take 2 classes per term which is full-time. If you transfer in 90 credits, you could complete a degree in around 10-12 months.

Source of Credit

This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.
