Getting started in Applied Studies@UMC:

Faculty advisor Lynnette Mullins can answer questions about the program and will direct you to do the following:

Submit your transcripts from post-secondary institutions for an evaluation of how transfer credits will be accepted.

Enroll in AplS 3001, Individual Program Development (to begin tailoring your degree to meet your career objectives).

Work with your academic advisor to establish a "program requirements form" (link to it? )that assures you will complete a minimum of 50 credits in your program, a minimum of 48 credits in general education, and a minimum of 40 credits taken at the upper division level, for an overall total of 120 credits for graduation.

Review the UMC class schedule with your advisor to determine if any course could be "challenged" for credit without taking it. You can take a comprehensive exam for credit instead of taking the course.

Work with your advisor to determine if you have achieved learning from previous work experiences that could be documented and validated to earn credits through the Competency Assessment Portfolio process.
