I'm at UMPI Doing the BLS and the BLS and first minor is done. What's nice about all the free electives, is you can use that wiggle room to add additional minors. So it allows you to add more "concentrations" for your degree without committing to a whole Major. So my BLS with a minor in MGMT is turning into a BLS with minorS in MGMT, Project MGMT, Business Admin, and Social Studies . Only one goes on your diploma, but they all go on your transcripts.
Preach! So many doors open for the future 😎
That is great congratulations! I'm about to attend in March. So many different areas and believe me diversity is the KEY.
Update , I received my diploma and all 4 minors are printed on the diploma. With the switch to Parchment, I guess as long as it fits they will print it on the diploma.
@@gregoryrogers8224 that is wonderful. I would love too see how that looks. Congrats to you and your successful graduation.
What if you do the BAS and have Multiple Minors Will they then put that on the Diploma? Is that just BLS specific?
Finally, a hackable degree that qualifies me to be a redditor.
That's every degree
Excellent review
thanks this is so informative
Interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in business and communication is an excellent choice for individuals seeking entry-level jobs in the business field where a bachelor's degree is required. This program offers a versatile skill set, combining business knowledge and effective communication, making graduates well-prepared for diverse roles. In many industries, a bachelor's degree is seen as a prerequisite, and while hands-on experience matters, having the right educational background can help open doors and demonstrate a commitment to learning and professional development.
is this what you did? if so, could I contact you for help about setting this up?
Thank your very much for your cool info. What about bachelor degree in Law or Political sciense or International relations could those BA be hacked?
Definitely!
I heard they are planning to add a computer science major to UMPI but so far there hasnt been much information out there about it. Hope they release it next year. Otherwise I might get it a little after my bls degree
I swear to Zeus if they add CS after I'm enrolled in in WGU for CS, I'm gonna lose it.
@@MGTOWUNIVERSE Actually sent them an email about it earlier this year and the reply I got was this :
"To address your question about a Computer Science program in the YourPace modality, this is a degree that we continue to develop. At this point, I am not certain when we would go live with a CS degree in the YourPace modality."
Haven’t heard this yet, but we hope it’s true!
@@MGTOWUNIVERSEThey have it now 😂
@@JDMorris81 Source, because I'm not seeing it anyone on their website.
I found the perfect nursing school for me in my area of course they need prereqs I want to know on the liberal arts am I able to add all the that I can as far as prereqs I need to the my degree I don't mind taking them directly from Umpi because the nursing school doesn't accept ACE . If I have a bachelor's degree it knocks the prereqs to only 30 credits I know I will still have to take Anatomy and Physiology at a brick and motor but I don't want to take two years just doing prereqs
It all depends on the school you’re transferring into :) Check with an advisor there to see if they accept ACE credits like Sophia and Study.
Hey does UM PI make you take 30 credits there or can you transfer in some of those credits from a brick and mortar? It kind of seems like what you were saying, but I’m not sure. Could you answer this when you do your Q&A’s?
Yes, you do need a solid 30 credits from UMPI to graduate. They don’t have a bypass option, like TESU, or the ability for other brick and mortar credits from a previous school to count as part of that 30.
And yeah! This is a good question for the next Q&A :)
College Hacked, I enrolled for The BABA degree, but I just read that you wrote that the BABA Degrees are not program accredited. I was under the impression that all the BABA degrees were accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). I was planning on pursuing a master's degree in Florida after completing the BABA degree. Will that be a problem in your opinion?
The whole school is NECHE accredited, but the business program does not have specific ACBSP program accreditation :) You should check with your grad school admissions team to be sure, but it’s unlikely to be a problem.
The school sounds so fantastic but the enrollment process isn't the easiest. I got accepted and briefly spoke with someone back in early November but nothing else since. (They said they would call me back) Now after watching this video, I want to pursue the BLS in management. But they currently have me aligned with business administration even though I'm not actually attending the school. I've had so much time to reflect on this that I not only decided to switch from business administration, but I was forced to enroll in more classes at my current school because of the lack of communication. Perhaps, they should hire another enrollment/transcript evaluator given the high demand of your pace.
We are hoping to see improvement very soon! :)
What would be the best degree if I eventually want to become a special education teacher? I know BLS but some people say the educational studies minor is content heavy and limiting if one eventually wants to do something else,
Special education requires licensure in most states, so you need a specific degree that UMPI doesn’t offer. Check out WGU.
@@CollegeHacked I plan to do an alternative route for my credential. From a local teachers college or county office of education. I just need a BA to get in and start working on my credential.
I want to get my BA in psychology. Im already in the field, I need this to move to the next level in my career. I want to be sure I can transfer from umpi to get my masters or doctorate in the future. I don't see anyone talking about how transferable UMPI is.
You definitely can! A common progression we help people plan is a BA in Psych at UMPI into an LPC or LMFT masters program at Liberty. You could even continue on at Liberty for the doctorate. What matters is the undergrad schools accreditation, and UMPI is regionally accredited so it works for the vast majority of grad programs 👏🏼
Are the exams at UMPI proctored? Are they planning to incorporate proctoring? Or is it going be like Sophia Learning?
UMPI doesn’t have exams in their YourPace degrees (the ones we talk about), so no proctoring :) Their finals are papers and projects, and they have milestones like Sophia.
Is UMPI's Your Pace minimum age requirement of 20 a hard and fast rule?
Hard rule
Is there a Sophia equivalent for graduate degree credit?
Not at this time, grad degrees are a whole different ball game :)
Is excelsior university exams proctored?
Im Thinking about their Marketing Degree, but its not based on Digital Marketing or Marketing Analytics like WGU
It’s quite interesting how placing two spaces between words makes the sentence so much harder to read.
@TB4Jesus247 😅
They do have two different approaches to the degree!
I am switching my major at UMPI YourPace from English to something else because one of my professors doesn't provide instructions to her milestone assignments. It's unorganized and all over the place.
Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience! Hopefully you’ve notified the dean ❤️
@@CollegeHacked They never contacted me back.
I see people keep saying the BABA specific degrees don't have regional accreditation. Where are they getting that info from? Seems unlikely.
Regional accreditation applies to a school as a whole, and the school is regionally accredited. Hard to imagine a state school not being regionally accredited. The BABA degrees are not program accredited. We're releasing a Q&A video next week that will explain this in more detail, but overall it just means that some very very very picky grad schools might not let you in. Think Ivy league. Literally no other issues that I'm aware of. These degrees are perfectly good. Program accreditation is something that Business weirdly cares about--same with Nursing and maybe Social Work. Doesn't really come up with any other programs.
@CollegeHacked OH, interesting. I figured. It seemed weird that people kept saying that. I'm currently doing BLS Managment but I work in marketing so was thinking about going back after I finish this degree in a couple of months and doing the BABA Marketing.
You could! A marketing specific cert might do you even better, just depending on your goals
@CollegeHacked I do have a lot of marketing certs including Google Digital Marketing and a Udacity Nanodegree but I want to round it out with a formal degree. Even if it's just the BLS MGMT
Do you have any breadowns on hacking Master's degrees?
Not sure what a breadown is, but I’m on the edge of my seat! 🍞🔽
@@CollegeHacked 😂 "breakdown" I'm almost finished with my BA and want to move into a Master's program in ExSci. I can only find 3 colleges that offer ExSci 100% online.
@@freedomrftechnologies7451 Liberty University has an Interdisciplinary Studies masters degree, if you want to build your own major with a combination of classes that would make you stand out from the crowd! ;)
@@CollegeHacked unfortunately exactly zero of their exercise science courses are eligible for PLA....🤬
Hello, I have 2 questions:
1. Does UMPI let you transfer in more credits later on after an eight week semester?
2. If so, will they charge a fee for any additional transfer evaluations?
Thank you very much!
1. Yes
2. No :)
Besides sophia, where else can I transfer credits from to umpi for criminal justice degree AA?
Study.com, Coursera certs, StraighterLine, ALEKS, CLEPs, DSSTs!
But they are so lame. They rushed me to get transcripts then have sat on them for 3 weeks, missing the nearest term start. 1 person to handle the yourpace program and they don’t communicate at all.
For all this effort I hope the speed of getting they the program won’t be hindered by this slowness.
Has anyone here in the comments enrolled for bs or their ms program that can shed light on what the course completion process?
This exact thing happened to me. Communication has been terrible at UMPI lately
@@lukedruyon9420 have you now enrolled and is it worth it?
@Salty4eva I was wondering if someone else was experiencing this. They “misplaced” my transcripts a few times. They constantly go MIA then show back up enthusiastically every few weeks, asking me to do something right away and then I receive no response.
This is a great point to bring up! UMPI is an amazing school, but they currently have one person doing their transfer credit evals and there have been some kinks to work out as far as the number of students applying and the support needed to give them all good customer service. This is a case where “the juice is worth the squeeze” in terms of product. But you are definitely right to say they have some work left to do on the customer service and enrollment side :) They agree and are working hard!
Communication actually have been good for me
How would the BAS degree w a minor in Management & Leadership (UMPI said they only offer this) benefit me and my career? Is it recommended?
Without knowing anything else about you or your job, are two main ways a degree can benefit you. Either it’s just a checkbox you can check that will advance your pay/title at your current or future company, or it will teach you new skills that qualify you for better pay/positions.
@@CollegeHacked I am a supervisor in Logistics. I can move up with this degree (I am assuming) and use what I learned in the next step which is logistics manager. I have the experience and don’t plan on going anywhere else. I plan on keeping this job for a long time. Do you think it will still be a good route to take?
@collegehacked
@@MainAccount500 In that case, most definitely. Sounds like a perfect fit for your situation :)
@@CollegeHacked Thank you :-)
BAS is awesome but keep in mind you need a AAS in order to qualify for the BAS
Indeed!
What they don't tell you is that the liberal arts degree says 62 electives. But not all are transferred in. I had 92 credit hours transferred into the program. But there is a catch. Their electives have to be 300-400 level programs. Therefore, you would have to complete additional classes through them. And there are too many English, and science courses you have to complete for their general education courses. Which, makes no logical sense. Since the degree is in Arts not Sciences.
I believe it was another 8-9 classes I had to complete as electives through Umpi. Because they wouldn't accept any of my associates degree or Sophia classes as electives into the Bachelor's of liberal studies.
This is a problem we fix routinely :) All UMPI degrees can currently get down to the minimum of 10 classes through the school if ya know how to arrange things! 👏🏼
Can you actually land a job with an online degree like this? Will employers consider it?
Definitely!
I just went on Sopia site, and it didnt show that they work with UMPI??? Is this a change that just happened???
Nope, they still do. :) They just don’t have externally facing charts like some of the other schools.
@@CollegeHacked where can we go to get this information? I have so many classes done from Sophia and I’m worried they won’t be accepted
@@hayhays.channelEither from us, a current student, or by applying and sending the transcript in to get a transfer credit evaluation :)
@@CollegeHacked do you charge to get a credit evaluation?
@@hayhays.channelYou want to get a credit evaluation from the school you want to attend. We then use that in the Zoom consultations we sell to show you what you have done from the degree you want, and then what’s left and where to take it. The credit eval by the school doesn’t cost, but sending in official transcripts usually costs $7-15, somewhere around there.
Why BLS has number 8, and not number 1? :)
Umpi has bachelor of supply chain. Is the best major the have at the moment
Why do you feel that way?
Are these college program a self-paced or what?
UMPI has specific YourPace majors that are self-paced, those are the ones we are talking about 👌🏼
Open for international students?
Indeed! 😎
Any idea of hackable bachelor in Entrepernuship?
Check out the BSBA in Entrepreneurship at Thomas Edison State University (TESU). They allow up to 90 credits from ACE/NCCRS, along with a generous transfer policy for RA credits (up to 90). You need at least 30 RA credits in total, but they don't all have to be from TESU. The max credit total I have seen from them is 114 out of 120.
Their residency requirement is 15 credits - they have a 4300$ flat rate tuition which you could use to do a single-term of 15 credits or you can pay a residency waiver fee (not sure of the cost, but around $3600 I think).
If you are military or veteran, they also have a tuition discount.
@@smvtttt thanks for the info provided.
TESU is excellent advice, Liberty University Online also has a great entrepreneurship program with veteran and first responder tuition discounts that can stack :)
@@CollegeHacked thanks for the information.
I'm disappointed in UMPI and their admissions process. The enrollment specialist dropped the ball. He didn't tell me I needed my high school transcript. I called to speak with the person over your pace program and never heard back from anyone.
This is a great point to bring up! UMPI is an amazing school, but they currently have one person doing their transfer credit evals and there have been some kinks to work out as far as the number of students applying and the support needed to give them all good customer service.

@@CollegeHacked yes I spoke with the department head lol she said you have trippled their enrollment. They know about your youtube channel.
@@04davis I love hearing that. I hope they can catch up!
@@CollegeHacked can you do another episode on Umpi. Maybe have students come on and talk about classes. I understand they can't give full details.
Highschool Transcript? Why would you need that and why would you have one?
Does UMPI accept over 20 years of work experience as an international government worker?
They might through a Portfolio or Prior Learning Review. The experiental learning would need to align to classes in their catalog and there is usually a cost associated with PLR.
@@smvtttt Thanks so much!
The great thing about competency based education (CBE) programs like UMPI is that your experience can be used in an even more streamlined way. If you start a class and already know the content from your years in that industry, you can jump to the end and complete the final for the course and move on. :) A Portfolio Process is usually slower than this option 😜
OK, I get that UMPI is a very Hackable School. But I was looking at their numbers and I see some major problems. First off they have the Worst ROI for any school I have ever seen before with an Average Median Earnings of a UMPI graduate is only $28K???? And only 44% of UMPI graduates make more money than a High School Graduate? I know you love UMPI, but these are terrible stats.... (All Stats from the US Department of Education's College Scorecard Website)
Yeah, stats like this aren’t reliable for many reasons especially when it comes to judging online programs. Consider that these stats are a little older and skew towards their residential program, which is intended for students in a very rural area where pay rates are low and unemployment might be a more significant factor. There are other reasons to ignore, but also consider common sense. Is there a magical reason graduates from this school wouldn’t be able to make money? No, it’s accredited. It’s got everything one needs for a bachelors degree. And we’ve had many clients use this degree to go on to masters programs or to get high level promotions. It all comes down to what your goal is and if a bachelors degree checks the box to achieve it.
Sadly, they only have one Master's major. 😐
So far, but we can only imagine more are coming :) Plus, 3 of their undergrad classes can be transferred into the MAOL.
@@CollegeHacked Thank you.I know I should have seen your videos sooner. I just started Capella March 4th Psychology. I’m thinking of dropping 😓. Argggg
Can my 60 credits from my Associate's degree in General Studies be accepted?"
If they come from a regionally accredited school, then they should 😄
@@CollegeHacked Yeah it is a community college in my hometown of Chicago.
