UMPI BLS Management Degree Plan

Bachelor's Liberal Studies Management Degree Plan (Beta)

Here is a Liberal Studies Degree plan for University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) as of approximately December of 2021.

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.

Advantages of a Liberal Studies Degree

• The fastest degree program to complete
• Uses the most Sophia credit which reduces cost

Residency Requirements for UMPI

• 30 credits worth of courses must be completed with UMPI
• 12 completed credits with UMPI must be in the major
• 9 completed credits with UMPI must be upper level credits

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.
