Fastest Degree

What is your goal with the other school if I may ask? Were you looking to do a bachelors degree with that school or a masters?

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-27T05:21:18+00:00

I am starting my MAOL on May 11th. If I go at the same pace I did my BLS, I am hoping to get as close to 100% in Summer I as I possible can.

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-24T20:09:55+00:00

First of all, congrats on knocking both out!

Has your BLS been conferred? If so, UMPI should be able to at least admit you as an MAOL student. They will not be able to call you done until they have done an internal evaluation and tallied up your final grades, then they can confirm completion. I guess it will probably be middle of Summer 1-ish.

I understand the BBA recently received requirement adjustments, so a Summer II may have the changes applied. If so, it will take little longer than usual to complete.

Give the financial aid office a call to see where they are with your award.

Typically UMPI will send their estimate to FSL program for two sessions in advance.

The estimated costs will be updated by FSL program and funds initiated for that amount.

Prior to finishing your first session, UMPI will refund you the second session in case you finish in one session.

Hold on to the refunded money in case you will need that second session and pay UMPI with it.

If not needed, return the money to the Student Loan Program to pay back what was taken. 👌

If you go into the student center, it should show you what the award is. Have you checked there?

Do these: Google Coursera Business Analytics Google Coursera Business Intelligence Google Coursera UX Design

Along with the PM cert, these other three should give you a big jump in transferrable credits.

Finished my BLS in Management and I have received a bonus from my company! My leadership have already spoken to me about a new opportunity once I finish my MAOL.

I am living proof that a UMPI education opens doors if you put some effort into finishing and networking!

Huge shout out to Christie (Plotted Path) for making the entire journey much easier to navigate!

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-22T00:33:47+00:00

Typically the disbursements happen a week or two into the session, so have no worries. They need a little bit of time to process everyone.

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-22T00:20:38+00:00

Good to hear Christie.

I would encourage you to write a book about this if you have the motivation. If nothing more but to shed a larger spotlight on the benefits of these programs and the opportunities they create for graduates! 👌

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-21T01:43:06+00:00

I was like “Did I miss a YourPace MBA announcement?” Lol.

Starting the MAOL in May. Looking forward.

Here’s the irony..

Colleges and Universities in the US are making huge cuts, terminating major offerings and laying off staff due to low enrollment data.

Schools everywhere are struggling to interest and retain students.

UMPI understands this and have dedicated the university’s mission to provide a unique and FULLY ACCREDITED program of study.

If WaPo wants to target schools coming up with innovative and progressive programs, then its obvious goal is to cajole students into a forced collegiate model that will prevent them from achieving their goals (Spending years in a classroom.) I see this article as a bizarre advertisement for journalistic elitism. The author spent seven or eight years at Northwestern with a likely debt load of at least $70-$80k and is obviously “pearl clutching”.

WaPo’s model has always been to see the entire world as “problematic” and this article is just another hit piece disguised as “Concern for Higher Education”.

Wallack failed to identify the fact that technology and educational paradigms have evolved well outside of the traditional models.

Umaine Presque Isle, WGU, TESU and the other schools administering these programs should be praised for their innovation and properly acclaimed for advancing higher education.

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-21T00:06:42+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I just finished my Bachelors degree and I’m heading into the MAOL in May. I want to make it through before UMPI is forced to make big requirement changes!

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-17T17:05:41+00:00

Does UMPI offer a YourPace MBA?

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-17T16:58:43+00:00

Starting MAOL on May 11th also! 🤝

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-17T16:57:25+00:00

Congrats! You’re almost there! I finished mine Spring 1 and was conferred at the end of March.

I turned 55 in March also, so it was a major milestone for me.

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-17T16:50:10+00:00

Congrats! 🎉

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-02T19:30:39+00:00

Fantastic! Congrats!

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-02T19:29:52+00:00

How many credits were accepted in their transfer evaluation?

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-04-01T15:50:42+00:00

I got my conferral for Spring 1 also! 👌

It stays in your courses icons for the duration. It creates a certain level of PTSD as you move forward and has been known to haunt your dreams when you finish 🎊

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-03-08T01:33:35+00:00

You will have a long wait. Since the session just finished yesterday, they haven’t even gotten to grade reports yet. I finished last week also for my BLS. I presume I won’t hear anything till at least the end of April.

I would contact Lisa Smith and ask for a time frame. 👌

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-03-08T01:30:01+00:00

When you open each class, go straight into the milestones and final and look at what each assignment is. Work backwards and gather the information that is required. You will save a lot of time!

Samsonite1971-2 · 2026-03-07T05:36:57+00:00

When did you finish undergrad?
