Assistance Requested to Craft Solid Path: UMPI/Charter Oak State College

[ARG]

With UMPI the science and lab need to come from the same place, so you would need the Human Biology and Human Biology Lab from Sophia. You list reads as if you only have the Lab (1) credit. Since you're pretty much starting from scratch the BABA will likely offer a better ROI for you over the BLS if you're looking for a business focused degree. The BLS offers the most electives (using more of what you already have). However, without knowing what master program you're interested in it is hard to say one would be better than the other - there are plenty master programs (at various schools) that either would be equal. What type of master degree are you interested in? Do you have a school in mind for your master? For example WGU and HAU both offer affordable MBAs that either the BABA or BLS work for equally.

With no existing UL Charter Oak is likely out for you (most people) - their current rules and limits on who they accept credits from is very limiting.

Thank you for the reply. I can take the comparable one at Sophia. I didn't because I was initially going to go to WGU and they accepted this. I had too many credits to let go by the wayside, and they were only accepting 44 of them into the Elementary Ed program, so I'm refocusing on what I have, how to move faster towards a BA and then I'll likely do the masters at WGU for elementary ed with licensure. When I called Charter Oak they didn't sound worried about lack of UL, but I may be finding this was just bad advice on their part here real soon.

 
@ARG - based on your goal of a Master in Education there is no reason to pursue a BABA (a business degree) over the BLS.  Stick with the BLS and maximize your current credits.  I'll add that I'm certain rachel83az was referencing the difficultly to get the ULs for Charter Oak (the statement had nothing do do with UMPI); as I mentioned they (Charter Oak, aka COSC) is not as UL transfer in friendly as they once were. The reason COSC wasn't concerned with your lack of UL is because they offer plenty of UL courses you can take with them (at a much slower, and more costly rate).

This is really helpful to here. Thank you for helping me simplify going the BLS route and going for my masters in teaching. I'll likely just to the management minor and educational studies minor. If I'm taking notes correctly, management minor has 2 UL classes, educational studies has 4. That leaves me with figuring out what to do with the remaining UL needed, or maybe if I'm lucky I can squeeze in another minor?!
