YourPace Undergraduate Programs – 100% Online
New Video Intro
New Text here. Smaller than next section.
A degree through our YourPace program is the same as any other degree UMPI offers, but how you learn works a little differently. Instead of taking traditional, 15-week classes, you master individual competencies to advance through coursework—and the faster you prove your knowledge and move ahead, the more you save. Tuition is a flat rate per 8-week session no matter how many courses you complete. Plus, with no weekly course deadlines, you control the speed of completing your program. We have a wide range of YourPace offerings, from undergraduate and graduate degrees to certificates and a non-degree option.
