I learned about UMPI from you like 6 mos ago , applied, got in of course, and they basically let me pick up where I left off when I dropped out at my brick and mortar school with their BLS program. I finished 10 courses (30 credits) in 8 weeks and only have 7 (21 credits) left , and will graduate at the end of Summer 2 2023 . If youre reading this and you know yourself and know you are a fast learner and a hard worker, yes, you could literally get a Bachelors degree in like 6-9 months . Also, for the 30 credit hour residency requirement , 12 of them must be 300/400 level courses.
It’s literally creeeepy how Im on my laptop and looking this school up then went to RUclips on my phone and the first things I see when I open the app is that you made this video 3 hours ago 🤣 wild times lol also thanks for this review 😂
I did first half of degree at WGU. I switched to UMPI bc I was having issues with the WGU protors saying my internet wasnt sufficient. I would request another proctor and suddenly it was fine. It became a pain. At UMPI I dont have to deal with proctors. For me, WGU classes were very easy compared to UMPI classes. My UMPI professors expect a much higher level of work than WGU graders. UMPI requires multiple essays a week. It is definitely not a school for students who prefer multiple choice questions. It takes me longer to get through the classes at UMPI, but Im glad I switched. People are complaining that UMPI doesnt responsed back quickly. I understand it must be frustrating. UMPI is a small school in the country in Maine. Suddenly they have gone "viral" (for lack of a better word) and they are being flooded with applicants. They do not have the people power in admissions the way WGU and other bigger schools have. When you start you have an admissions advisor that stays with you through your degree and a success couch. One of them are always able to be reached by phone or email. I also really love the feedback from the professors. They seem to be more involved in the courses than the WGU professors. They write the class content, create the assignments, and grade the assignments. I love UMPI so much. The course load is heavier, but Im so glad I switched. This is not a dig at WGU. They are a great school for those who prefer tests over papers.
I wish they had more Masters Courses. I will finish my Bachelor’s Business degree within the next two weeks and that will only be about 3 months of work. I did transfer like 30 plus Sophia’s and some CLEPs though.
Can you please review penn foster, ashworth college, u.s. career institute, Washington Technical Institute, California Coast University and martinsburg college? Thank you.
I love the idea of UMPI and I heard about them from you. My biggest issue with UMPI is not a single counselor I've talked to there has a brain and is capable of getting my credits tabulated. So, I don't know what their issue is, except that they are a state school with too much state money and have no need for actual students.
You can apply, and they will send your credit transfer report. They will then ask you when/if you want to start. It doesn't cost anything to apply. The admissions advisors are not the transfer experts. I applied, and they sent me my report, and I put off starting for an entire session while I worked on sophia and study course. They took 100 credits for (some after I had started). They were a mix of wgu classes/study/sophia/military credits.
Another great informative video Dr. Cliff! My wish is that someone at UMPI would answer my emails, or pick up a phone to answer questions. Since they’ve added psychology I’ve considered defecting from SNHU. But is seems like there’s no one home!
That is one of my main complaints from this school. Late responses and no one to pick up the phones. Just keep trying. I’ve had to call days in a row every hour to finally reach someone before.
Can you review the University of Wisconsin Flexible Option. They have a 12 week period for $2250 I think it's "all you can learn" buffet style like UMPI.
The problem I have encountered so far with umpi is how long the application process and credit transfer takes. I applied to about 8 schools and only umpi hasn't finished.
Another great video 👏 I’m following along and have 60 credits on Sophia ✌️ Going to sign up to have a consultation with you in the next couple of weeks. Keep up the great work 🎉
Hi gang! Could anyone tell me if most UMPI written final projects are template based, or more ‘old school’ open format? Or put differently “write 3-5 sentences after each question prompt” versus “write a 2,000 word essay”. Thanks for any info!!
Also can you review columbia southern university? It's regionally accredited and more affordable than any college you have talked about that I'm aware of. Good selection of degrees too. Thanks.
What are you thoughts on the MAOL and if it’s worth getting over applying somewhere with an MBA or similar administrative degree? Money wise, time wise (especially for someone that Is used to how quickly UMPI classes can be knocked out. Salary wise, career wise….How do you think it would be looked at overall and is it a good choose for a future career in business or administration or overall a waste of time and money and is it better to go for a more prestigious masters degree? Also, do you think UMPI will add more Masters programs and even a doctorate one day? Sorry for all the questions lol
Good questions: 1. Getting the MAOL doesn't keep you from getting an MBA later and is a quick way to Master's. But an MBA sort of outranks an MAOL. 2. I don't think it's a wast of time or money. The benefit for the cost will be amazing, but the benefit of an MBA will be more. You can always get an MBA in the future if you run into a wall. 3. I doubt doctorate but I expect more Master's!
Howdy, I have a question about UMPI's degree path... I'm starting at UMPI in the summer.. I have 54 credits I am transferring from a previous univ., and 43 from Sophia (that I completed in less than a month)... Currently enrolled for the BA in Management & Leadership, but was wondering if the BLS in Project Management or BLS in Management Information Systems might be a better pathway? Trying to get an opinion or another take on this...
It’s a bigger free elective section, essentially :) Neither is necessarily faster on paper (still need 10 classes through UMPI either way), but the type of classes you have to take are more within your control.
How can they finished 30 credits in 8 weeks, while the instructors always affirm everything in a very long time? Let me prove it, I already start this summer...yayy😊
Can you do a review of UMPIs Master in Organizational Leadership and how to hack that degree. I know most of the videos about the hackable universities tend to be geared at the Bachelor level.
That’s because graduate credit can’t really be hacked in the same way, there aren’t platforms that offer grad credit, and most schools only allow a max of 9 credit hours of transfer-and the transfers typically have to come from another accredited university. Some schools offer portfolio credit options at the grad level, but it’s relatively rare. Liberty University is the best we know of for that process.
Is there any problem when applying for a master's degree with a bachelor's degree which is the certificate is almost 90 credits transferred from Sophia?
I’m interested in taking the liberal studies with a minor in educational studies. (Chipotle degree) I currently have all of my general education completed. It says that they accept 56 elective credits. If I’m understanding this correctly can I just take random classes at Sophia and get all of my credit for electives?
I graduate with an Associate degree, I will attend UMPI this fall. How long will it to graduate with a BS in cybersecurity? (yes, UMPI HAS A CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM)
They do, but it’s not competency based like the YourPace majors we talk about here. So the timeline will be more like 2 years, depending on how many classes you take per term.
I have 50 credits from NBCC a Canadian college in New Brunswick. I tried going to uopeople but they said I had to use a 3rd party service to evaluate those credits for them to accept them. Is there any college in the US that would take my Canadian credits without that extra cost? Thanks 😊
I have also had a difficult time with UMPI. I originally applied sometime in July 2023, sent my official transcripts, had difficulty getting transcripts from one school which was not UMPI's fault, but they were all submitted by August 12th. I am still waiting for my credit evaluation, I have no idea what they will accept, and I have already gotten accepted and a full evaluation from WGU (within a week of submission). I don't want to take extra courses if UMPI will accept more than WGU, but I feel like I am sitting on my hands waiting to get started. Also, I don't know if it is just me, but I have had a hard time navigating their website and portals. I keep getting errors and clicking links that are broken or loop back to another page.
We can almost guarantee you’ll get more credit awarded at UMPI, since WGU doesn’t have free elective sections in their degrees. So unless there is direct overlap between your previous major/courses and your new one, you lose credit. 😢 UMPI is running about 6-8 weeks on evals right now, so it sounds like yours should be super close to coming back! Also, they sometimes upload the eval to your student account but don’t email you, so check to see if it’s there :)
@@CollegeHacked Thank you for replying, and so quickly! I actually checked my portal just after I posted the comment and the transcript information was posted today! They actually accepted the same amount of credits as WGU, but require fewer credits to complete the degree (WGU: 136 credits for BA Special Education mild to moderate; vs UMPI: 120 credits for BA Liberal Studies in Education). I realize the UMPI degree is less specialized, however I work for a private school for individuals with developmental disabilities and I may wear many hats at any given time, so I appreciate the flexibility of adding the psychology or business electives that will help me personally in my position, and provide the degree necessary to advance to a master's if I decide to continue.
I have 60 credits from a community college and over 40 from Sophia, how long would it take me to graduate from umpi? Also is foreign language required?
All depends on which classes you’ve taken from your CC and Sophia. The degrees have specific requirements that need to be met. You should apply to UMPI and send them the transcripts so they can tell you what’s left :) But probably about 7 months. 3 terms at the school and 1 month of hacking on Sophia.
Wait so can I take Psychology online and hack it like the Liberal Arts Minoring in Business? I had a plan to start in October using Your Pace. But if I can get the Psychology the same way I want to go that route.
I have two assocate degrees and over 100 sophia credits. UMPI says it accepted 171 tranfer credits, but then says I still need to take 24 of their courses. Your advocating for UMPI as fast and hackable seems to misalign with what I'm seeing
It sounds likely that you’re misunderstanding the transfer credit report, or that maybe you didn’t pre-map the classes to your chosen degree? You can transfer in 90 credits, but they have to be the right 90 credits for the degree you picked. That’s actually the main reason we have a business, because it’s not as easy as it might seem to interpret what the school accepts for their various graduation requirements (it’s not gate kept info, just kind of complicated if you aren’t familiar). This is likely still a situation we could help you with if you decide you want that. Email clifford@collegehacked.com with more info on your situation if you’d like and we can tell you if we’d be able to assist enough to justify the cost.
Dear Dr. S, I wanted to express my gratitude for your informative videos, which have greatly helped me. Learning about TESU and Sophia (2023) has reignited my pursuit of higher education after facing setbacks and the challenges of COVID-19. Having earned two associates degrees in 2018 and 2019, transferring to a university became nearly impossible after moving to a new state. However, with the help of Sofia, TESU, and WGU, I am now only 13 classes away from graduating with a BSIT from WGU. After obtaining my WGU degree, I plan to pursue a cost-effective Master's in Cybersecurity at TESU, aiming to complete it by 2025. This opportunity has made it more affordable than my 2017 Accord! Thank you for providing such valuable resources and inspiring me on my educational journey. I have one question, while learning about modern states through college hacked and signing up my brother who is in hs currently. Do you think modern states although a non profit, their business model could be copied and used by a for profit business.
I talked to someone at UMPI and boy was she pushy. I had to complete my application while on the phone with her and she wanted me to order my transcripts while on the phone with her and she wanted me to try to recruit people I know to join
Admissions counselors can be hit or miss at any school :) We recommend requesting to work with a different one if you’re uncomfortable! You’re the customer, so feel free to advocate for yourself 💪🏼
Maybe it is fast if you can get in, but their advisors never call and if you have credits to transfer they just ignore your application. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Huge time waister.
CBE programs like UMPI are only fast if you skip the learning and just do the assignments. For people who already know the material or are willing to forgo learning the material in the course, you can finish faster. Out of six UMPI courses my daughter has taken, only one professor is not an adjunct. Incredibly, two professors don't have master's degrees. I'm unclear how that is acceptable to their accreditor.
Don’t agree that skipping the learning is the only way to “go fast.” Also, fast is determined by who? Everyone learns at their own speed, allowing people to choose their speed is a gift.
yes it is possible since that would give oneself three eight week flat rate full time terms with which to load up thirty college credits per eight week term; and one could also potentially try to directly objective CLEP test out of some of the other general education category and general elective category college credit classes for the other thirty college credits; so it is not impossible but it will likely be quite the educational journey as one undergoes this educational transformation change process.
@@CollegeHacked Sorry, I should have been clearer, but I was tired last night. You point to the upper right (our right) corner of the screen and say to check out "more information on that here", but I feel like I'm not seeing something that should be there.
You can earn a degree but cannot manage a job with these sorts of degrees!! i.e. CLEP credits or even AP credits are not acceptable to any school of engineering or health professions. While facing job interviews, online degree or such competency based degrees are being knocked out on first step. I am an educator, working in this research field of developing newer methods of education for a decade. But no employers are interested for such alternatives degree holder candidates!!
UMPi needs more degrees! Especially Information technology Degrees!
I'm 70 credits in and about to start UMPI next month, if they added an IT degree I would swap in a heartbeat.
This
@@daemonhood same I’m gonna go to WGU soley for IT
They need way more masters degrees too. I’ll be going to Wgu for an MBA that I would’ve probably done at Umpi

@@CollegeHacked my phone mis spelled credits. Do you know if umpi will take any of the sophia science. If so can you transfer the labs also?
Also the minimum you can make at Umpi is a b correct?
@@04davis Yep
@@04davis I got confirmation from one student recently that the Biology and Bio Lab will both transfer in.
Is college university? Is it the one what takes 4 years normally? Wow great🎉
Yes and yes! 😄
Do accept saylor certified course?
There’s no transfer chart for it at this time
Maybe it is fast if you can get in, but their advisors never call and if you have credits to transfer they just ignore your application. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Huge time waister.
Video on this very topic coming very soon!
Can international students complete their full degree here?
Yes!
CBE programs like UMPI are only fast if you skip the learning and just do the assignments. For people who already know the material or are willing to forgo learning the material in the course, you can finish faster.
Out of six UMPI courses my daughter has taken, only one professor is not an adjunct. Incredibly, two professors don't have master's degrees. I'm unclear how that is acceptable to their accreditor.
Don’t agree that skipping the learning is the only way to “go fast.” Also, fast is determined by who? Everyone learns at their own speed, allowing people to choose their speed is a gift.
Can I graduate in 6 months with no transfer credit?
It is technically possible, if you have the time and dedication to do it :)
yes it is possible since that would give oneself three eight week flat rate full time terms with which to load up thirty college credits per eight week term; and one could also potentially try to directly objective CLEP test out of some of the other general education category and general elective category college credit classes for the other thirty college credits; so it is not impossible but it will likely be quite the educational journey as one undergoes this educational transformation change process.
Can this be done without any previous college credit?
Absolutely! Half of our clients (at least) come in with no college credit. You can totally do it.

Likely to go up again! 😊 The hallmark of a good program…sometimes 😜
What on earth are you constantly pointing to?
What can I say, I’m an expressive man 😎
@@CollegeHacked Sorry, I should have been clearer, but I was tired last night. You point to the upper right (our right) corner of the screen and say to check out "more information on that here", but I feel like I'm not seeing something that should be there.
@@michaeloffgrid HAHA oh, that makes more sense. Thanks! I see the missing link at 5:54, it's on the fix list :)
You can earn a degree but cannot manage a job with these sorts of degrees!! i.e. CLEP credits or even AP credits are not acceptable to any school of engineering or health professions. While facing job interviews, online degree or such competency based degrees are being knocked out on first step. I am an educator, working in this research field of developing newer methods of education for a decade. But no employers are interested for such alternatives degree holder candidates!!
I'm sorry, but this just isn't true.
