@xtermigator
Hello my friend @ College hacked i’m so happy that since this episode is aired, I’ve been able to help others take the road that I have taken that was so well laid out by Dr. Cliff, which was just a little bit over a year ago and since then to give you an update, not only do I have from UMPI a bachelors in arts and a masters in organizational leadership but I also got another bachelors in business administration from them just finished an MBA at Hellenic American College for $3000 and a masters of theology and two courses away from a masters of divinity at nation university and I’m five months in during the second semester of my 12 month, doctoral program at Virginia University Of Lynchburg for Dr. of healthcare administration. And this is coming from somebody who you and a half ago didn’t even have their bachelors and we’re taking courses at Sophia.
Knocking it out of the park as always, Eric! 🥳👏🏼
Hey sir , what is the app for the military that you said ?
This is an excellent testimonial and I’m sure his story is inspiring to most people who watch your channel. Not just because he’s eligible for a PhD in a year; but because a year ago he didn’t think a Bachelors program was possible. That’s a significant point. It definitely resonates with me. I’ve done one meeting with Laura and I’ll have my follow up soon
That's awesome! I hope it goes well!
I doubt he would get into a PhD program that isnt a degree mill
@@Aglahadevery traditional college is a money sucking degree mill. They trick you into thinking that you need to spend 4 to 6 years for ONE degree
I did 39 credit in 8 weeks from Umpi 13 classes including the orientation class 14
G'day mate. How hard the Math140 class? Thanks
What degrees you did
Outstanding! Congratulations for putting this all together.
Congratulations Eric! thank you for sharing your experience and being open about your challenges. I'm currently enrolled in UMPI for the BLS and will be taking the 3 MAOL courses you suggested, great idea!
Congrats Eric..you are truly inspirational! I am on the road to getting my degree still torn to about which school to get my bachelor's in. Good Luck to you,it's only up from here!
i did 74 sophia credits in a month then transferred into umpi also did organizational behavior at saylor with a total of 77
This is great to hear that you can transfer that many credits! How fast were you able to graduate after all of your transfers?
Dylan did you take and pass Math140? How difficult was it?
What an inspiration!! I'm at the beginning of my journey, and this motivates me. Thanks for this interview!
I love this! Very inspirational. Congratulations friend. Our back stories are very similar down to the age. I start UMPI's August session with only minor core to complete. My goal is to finish early to leave room for some master's work. Im so excited!!! Thanks Dr for all the great info.
I love this! EXTREMELY motivating!
Extremely inspirational and congratulations to Eric! I wish UMPI were an option for my son (about to turn 18), but we will definitely look at it for the Masters.
Love to see this story!!! Congratulations Eric. I start UMPI next session and need to get through about 12 classes. I am planning to give myself 2 sessions to complete, with the goal of 1 session. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! Congratulations!!!
What are majoring in?
@@foreverfly3113 I’m getting a BA in history. After completion I’ll be applying to direct entry MSN programs to become a nurse practitioner.
@@renocamo Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
@renocamo I will be watching for you and thinking about you at graduation this Saturday knowing that you will be there behind me soon
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Seeing how excited he was to see that he could accomplish it really warms my heart. I always felt that when it comes to boys and they see that you're struggling they just write you off and say well he can always be a day labourer or something not that there's anything wrong with that if that's truly your path. but what about the kid that wants to be rocket engineer but just needs a little bit of help getting started. that's what I like about Online colleges because it gives people chance to truly see that they are capable and they sore !
Gotta have higher standards for yourself than others will. No one will care about your career more than you.
@eric, you are the MAN! Keep crushing it. I hope have an update after your next conquest.
Congratulations, Eric!! Way to go!! I am turning 50 soon on 11/20 & have been researching online schools for a BA in Psychology. UMPI keeps coming up! Now I’ve found this great channel on CZcams! I have an AA degree from 1994, but no longer wish to be in that industry. Thus, your testimony here is a testament to what we CAN do at any age! Thank you for all the pertinent day to day knowledge of what you did to get through all the classes & work; while still doing normal life. You have laid a good roadmap. Again, thank you & Congratulations!! 💻📚📝🎓🥳
Did you decide on UMPI for psychology degree? What were your second and third choice schools for BA in psychology?
I’m considering that degree as well.

Thanks for having me for a wonderful segment. I can’t tell you how much our original conversation about a year ago has changed my direction and outlook on life. And I am happy to talk to any one of your prospective students about the great work we’ve done together and answer any questions about UMPI. @eman1061
Eric, I would love to speak to you. How can I get in touch?
Hello mate, how hard the Math140 class? Thanks
@eman1061 how can I get in touch to chat? Thank you.
@@ishady27 I transferred math in from Sophia along with every single other course I possibly could especially the ones that I would not want to take but I will tell you this that math course that I spoke about failing it wasn’t a course I had to take I was trying to get another bachelors which only needed like one or two more classes and I took that test four times you need to 70 to pass and I kept on getting a 67 or 68
@@Godfamilygators I try math from Sophia but it seems hard too, how could you pass it? So you didn't take Math 140 from UMPI?
Great video
Thank you for sharing your experience, Eric. I am happy for you and you also gave me more hope.
He's. an inspiration....Good interview.
Agreed!
Inspiration right here
Congrats Eric! I also went to UMPI based on the information in these videos and it’s been amazing. Almost done my first term at Umpi and I finished 5 classes. I also did 6 classes on Sophia in 1 month
Hi mate, I'm on my way for the May 8, 2023 term. I wonder if the Math140 a difficult class? Thanks😊
Congrats to you! I started this week, did you have issues with UMPI accepting Sophia credits?
@@ishady27 it was difficult for me. I actually withdrew from it. I’m not good in math thiugh
@@mturner5989 I didn’t have any issues with them accepting the credits. There is a list on Google of the classes they will accept though.
@@zimms-world does Math140 not mandatory for your graduation?
He is so inspirational I feel like I would never get my degree. But im going to UMPI soon I hope.
Congrats Eric!!
Really encouraging as I am a truck driver and finished high school with penn foster in the back of my truck with a lap top. After that I tackled a couple main courses with Sophia just to see if I could do it. Currently I'm am looking at different school options that fit my lifestyle.
Thank you for your testimony
Awesome job, keep up the good work! 😄
Very inspirational, thanks
This resonates with me so highly since I want my doctorate so much, it’s my dream!! I am a special needs caregiver 24/7 for adults and a single parent so I totally get this! Not to mention this will not look at me and see my disability but what I am capable of.
Congratulations Eric! Thank you Dr. Stumme! I start UMPI on May 8 and this is very inspiring! I am hoping to earn credits as quickly as possible myself. I was concerned that waiting for milestones to be approved would slow me down, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. I'm curious if there is a benefit to taking courses at Sophia first if you receive a Pell Grant... Is it about the cost savings or are Sophia courses easier/faster?
Hi, we are on the same term. I hope the Math140 will not be too hard for me, it's my weaklink😅
Good luck to you😊
I think it's a little bit of both. I'd still do Sophia at least for the Sophia courses without touchstones.
@@ishady27Thank you, you too! How's it going for you so far?
This is inspiring I will booking session in a couple weeks
We're looking forward to working with you!
@@CollegeHacked copy that Let's Go
I’m actually transferring from CSU Global to UMPI after watching all these videos . Thanks guys this is so inspirational and one step closer to have a dream come true
That's awesome!!

Hi! Could you please do a review on Penn Foster College programs ? They have a partnership with Sophia Learning and offer Bachelor's degrees. They are self paced programs allowing the students to take as much time as needed per semester.
I signed up with UMPI and will begin in March. Your video eased my nerves, thank you. Could you make a tutorial on picking courses, managing things around, and giving some guidance?
It’s possible! 😄 And glad we could help :)
This is such a great story! I am going to be 40 next year but plan to start UMPI in January for my BABA M&L. Working through Sophia right now and I finished 18 courses in 45 days. I have done almost everything with touchstones so I can fire through the milestone only courses last and take a break at the holidays. Your channel and the Degree Forum have helped me so much. I already am a VP in HR so I understand management and leadership really well but I need this piece of paper to continue my career growth. Thanks for this accessible resource. Hoping to see more community online around UMPI! 🎉😊
YAHOO!!! Your story is inspiring, Christie! We are cheering you on, keep crushing your goals! 🥳😎

Eric’s story is incredibly inspiring. I feel hope and I plan on taking the plunge. Maybe this summer
Take. That. Plunge!! You got this 👏🏼
Congratulations to Eric! Thanks Clifford for such an inspiring video!Which undergrad degree did he get from UMPI?
BLS, not sure what his concentration was.
They said Liberal Arts
@@QueWhat17 Thanks, I'd love to know what the minor concentration was
I think it was Management and Leadership
Congratulations Eric!!! Overcoming all challenges and never gave up!! Victory ✌️ victory ✌️ victory is yours!
How cool is this? I am 62 and will finish my associate's, I need a certification next month, then consultation with a goal of a master's and then a doctorate... I am free up and tell everyone I am a full-time college student! You can teach old dogs new tricks!
Nice!! 🥳
From watching this video, it was very inspirational. I am thinking of going to UMPI to get my undergraduate in psychology. I also will be transferring the maximum amount of units into the institution and hoping to finish my undergraduate studies within one term as well. 🥳🥳
Excellent! 😎
Congratulation Eric, congratulations this was the video besides one more from this channel that inspired me to sign up at UMPI, and to be honest I never heard of the school never knew about his existence until I stumbled on this video I transferred to UMPI they took 101 credits And now I’m getting ready to begin this March. Thank you so much for this video. Thank you so much for this channel I completed a total of 60 credits at Sophia.
This makes us SO excited 🤩 You got this!!
@@CollegeHacked thanks 🙏 to you!!
He was very inspirational
He made me tear up
That’s the thing I try to tell high school students
Just bcuz you didn’t feel smart or someone told you that you weren’t smart enough
Doesn’t mean you aren’t smart enough to go to college
College is a different world all together
In high school I didn’t make good grades until 11/12 grade year
I got to college and made Deans List.
Go one year if you can afford it for the experience and see if you like it
But if I could do it all over again I would have CLEPed my way through college.
Thinking of going back once my daughter graduates high school. Do it w her. So, that she finishes and gets a degree.
I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. I THINK I CAN, so I WILL. I'm all in.
God is Good and all things are possible through him
Correct
Amen
God will guide our steps 🐾
I saw my first course and immediately got discouraged. I prayed and got to work
@@LDee94 How is it going??
Need Advice! I`m 44 years old. I graduated with a Business Degree and have a Masters in Education. I`m teaching for the last 17 yrs, but wanted a career switch into Business/IT Management/Healthcare/Supply Chain career. Should I go straight Competency Based to MBA in IT in WGU or take Competency Fast Track Bachelor`s in Project Management in UMPI? Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks!

As someone working at a dead-end job wanting to get out, but not knowing what to get into exactly. What would you recommend? Business administration?
Gotta pick a job option first. If you're not pointing in a direction, you'll never know what success feels like. I'd make a list of five things and test them out with job shadowing.
The recommendation is simple. A degree. Sounds stupid I know
So the best way to get started is to get my transcripts from different schools I attended? You give me hope that I can do this too
Gotta make your plan first. If you have a lot of credits, I'd apply and transfer first to get that evaluation and then start hacking. Happy to explain more in a consult: www.collegehacked.com.
How are UMPI's classes? It sounds as if they are very similar in structure to Sophia with more writing. Would that be accurate?
Accurate! :)
I really appreciate that he said he failed a math class, I start UMPI in March and that has been worrying me what happens if I fail a class
You can retake it :) But you can also take intro to statistics on Sophia if you’re a Liberal Studies major to knock your math out :) Way less pressure to do it on Sophia.
thanks for the advice. Just knocked it out @@CollegeHacked
I am already an SNHU student and I found it hard to finish 1 class for an 8 weeks term, how could he possibly finish 2 classes per week at UMPI? Great job 😊
I think it depends on the major too because I don’t see more technical classes like advance accounting, auditing etc being completed that fast.
Bachelor of Liberal Arts!
@Panda Angry how difficult? You mean you must study everyday for so many hours?
If you have a bunch of old college credits but your grades weren’t great, is it better to use the credits to graduate fast OR is it more advantageous to take courses over again and not use the old ones? I guess my question is “Do average or low GPA’s matter anymore when applying to grad school”?
Your GPA will only be based on the classes you took at the school you graduate from :) Any classes you took at prior schools will only transfer if they were a 'C' or better, and they'll transfer in as a "pass"! Use all the credit you have, nail the classes you take at your new school, and then you don't have to worry about your GPA! And about grad schools--there's usually a way to still gain acceptance (write an explanation letter, take a probationary class with the program to see how you do, etc.) even with a low undergrad GPA. But you usually still need at least a 2.0 or a 2.5
UMPI seems like a great college
It is for sure!
I had my college transcripts sent over to UMPI, and then a week later they ask for my high school transcripts too. It would have saved some time to tell me what all was needed in the first email.
Yes, they are working on increasing their organization 😅
What can you do with an organizational leadership masters? Is this good for non-profit leadership?
Definitely!
Looking forward to quitting my traditional German university for UMPi.
Welche Uni oder FH bist du?
@@PhilippOsanna-en7pn Uni Osnabrück und du?
Hast du es gemacht?
@@mariaagosti-pm7tk Ja letztendlich schon. Läuft auch alles sehr gut
What was that writing resource he mentioned? That the military family qualified him for
Oh he mentioned grammarly also
@@ChristopherSandoe Grammarly worries me a bit because they want permission to record your key strokes
I think what we need is a network of degree hackers and also a post interview talking about what job or career they got. All this don’t mean nothing if they don’t get a great job or career
Actually sometimes it does :) Many of our clients are fulfilling a lifelong goal when they complete a degree, not everyone is shooting for a new job or promotion. The degree is the equalizer, but the individual is the one who ultimately earns the job.
Hello what are the requirements to get into umpi fast track?
Admissions Requirements and Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs
Students must be 20 years of age at the time of application.
High school diploma or equivalent (e.g., HiSet, GED)
Minimum cumulative college of GPA 1.75 from most recently attended institution
Submission of all official transcripts:Transcripts are only considered official if they are sent directly to UMPI from the granting institution or their electronic ordering service. Student-submitted transcripts are not accepted.
College credits with a cumulative GPA of less than a 1.75 must also submit a resume to indicate activities and experience post high school diploma (or equivalent). An interview may be required.
Students who do not have any college credits must submit the following:
Provide high school transcript, high school equivalency test (HiSet), or GED
A resume to indicate activities and experience post high school diploma (or equivalent)
Instructions for international students:
All international transcripts will only be accepted if the student provides them through an evaluation service. The evaluation agency must be a member of NACES or AICE. We will not accept unofficial copies (e.g., from the student)
Canadian schools and universities from a French-only institution (mostly in the province of Quebec) must be evaluated
International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency by submitting scores from an English language proficiency test taken no more than two-years prior to date of application
I did 20 Sophia courses in 2 months. My goal is to take 25 courses before I start My BS in Business Administration at SNHU in January 2024. I have already transferred 15 credits from my certificates (PMP, CSM, CAPM, Google Project Management).
Excellent work 🤩👏🏼
Thank you. I did not know about Sophia before, but after watching some of your videos, I learned a lot of things about Sophia. I asked my counselor, but she never or does not want to say anything about that. After I contacted the financial department, one of them asked me, “Why do you not take Sophia courses like other people are doing? She explained everything more than my counselor “, which helped me to go to Sophia learning.
SNHU accepted all of my credits from Sophia learning. 90 credits
Have you reached out to the school yet? I started the Google PMC but was told by the school they wouldn’t accept it?
@@hayhays.channel I have completed Sophia courses and a Google Certificate project management, which SNHU accepted ( All were submitted on December 15, 2023). To obtain my Bachelor's degree, I need to complete 30 additional credits and will begin on January 8th.
Does UMPI your pace give a GPA unlike WGU?
Indeed! Normal GPA system
Are the test proctored ?
UMPI does not currently proctor any of their YourPace exams!
I’m a stay at home mom with my spouse who is deployed. I really wish I could afford a consultation with you 😢
A consultation with us pays for itself if you hack even one average-cost university course, and we often help people hack 30 out of 40 classes needed for their degree. So while it might seem expensive, what's actually expensive is not meeting with us. ;)
@@CollegeHacked paying $99 for Sophia courses is an easy payment but dropping $500 upfront to have a conversation isn’t exactly ideal and I wish it was. Thanks though.
What are courses that umpi offer
They have their courses listed on their website 😊
im next
YES!
Do they accept international students?
Yes
Yes, I am an UMPI student from South East Asia ☺️
Thank you for the great video and the comments❤
@@ishady27 dari indo bang?
@@arcodellayess...iyah 😅
I hate discussion boards. I am glad they confirmed that it is part of the program. Now, I know to not attend.
UMPI does not have discussion board assignments in their YourPace degrees, not sure if that’s what you were referring to
Eric,
what an inspiration.
Thank you 🙏
