UMPI BLS Educational Studies Degree Plan

Bachelor's Liberal Studies Project Management Degree Plan
Here is a Liberal Studies Degree plan for the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) as of approximately June of 2022. 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.

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 the cost

Requirements for UMPI

 * 30 credits worth of courses must be completed with UMPI
 * 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 must be taken at UMPI

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 a 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 1-2 sessions @ a cost of $1400 tuition per session.

How the General Education Curriculum Works
The GEC of UMPI is one of the most complex and hardest to understand of any college.

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

Some degree programs such as business administration may require a specific course such as MAT 140. Taking MAT 140 would meet the requirements of 3A/3B; thus then you wouldn't need college algebra in this case.
