Where do I find the minors that are available for YourPace? This is not the same if I understood that correctly from other threads.
https://online.umpi.edu/
Click on Online Programs. They dropdown shows you all of the degrees available on YourPace.
ETA: The UMPI website is for on campus students not online YourPace students. Over 90% of the UMPI catalog does not pertain to YourPace students. Use the YourPace website.

Yes, that's why I was confused.
I just can't find a list of the minors only or do I just "mix-and-match" from the BLA minors?
For example:
Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration – Marketing Concentration + Project Management Minor?

The YourPace program is different than the on campus program. There are a few minors that are also possible by transferring the credits in, but it's only a couple of the minors. Most can't be completed with alt credit like ACE.
The list of minors that is technically available through YourPace is right on the website I gave you. There are 5 degrees listed with the 5 different minors.
Yes, you can complete the BABA with Marketing Concentration and add the Project Management Minor. If you want to have 60 graded credits at UMPI you could also only complete 60 credits then transfer to UMPI and complete the remaining 60 credits at UMPI without having to take extra courses.

If you want to get into a top MBA program, I suggest you do more than the usual (on here) 1-2 terms; I suggest you take every business course through UMPI. This will increase your graded credits, give you something closer to 60 graded credits (instead of 30) and meet any pre-reqs that an MBA program may have. Take all of your GE and Free electives via alt-credit, but leave all business and math (stats, business math, whatever) for UMPI.

Thank you @ dfrecore and @ss20ts
I've read in another thread about UPenn Global - would it make more sense to get my bachelors from them instead of UMPI?

Why would it make more sense to get your bachelor's degree from UPenn Global than UMPI? You'll be done faster and for less money at UMPI. UMPI is part of the University of Maine state university system. It has a physcial campus so no one will know your degree was completed online. A degree from UPenn Global screams online degree which many people don't want.

Sorry, I meant PennState World Campus, not UPenn Global. The World Campus degree would not show it's an online degree.

World Campus tends to read as an online degree. The diploma and transcripts don't have to say online degree for someone to believe it's an online degree. I attended CSU Global and I HATED the fact that Global was in the name. My husband went to PUG and didn't care that it said global in the name. Here's the difference - he has almost 30 years of experience in his industry. I on the other hand have been in several different industries so while I have 20+ years work experience, it's not 20 years in the same industry. When I went onto grad school, I made sure to go somewhere with a campus as well. So my while I completed my MBA online, no one will know that. I might be in trouble if they ask me how life was in Texas, but that would mean that they researched my school which rarely happens.

It will say “The Pennsylvania State University”, global will never be mentioned anywhere. PUG uses Global because it's not the same school as Purdue University.
"The answer is: no. Penn State World Campus is the “real” Penn State. Every student — regardless of their campus — receives an identical diploma or certificate that signifies they have completed a Penn State program. There is nothing on the certificate to indicate whether courses were taken online or on campus."

I'm not fully sure if I understand this post?
The PennState Online degree doesn't say global or anything about it. As it was mentioned by @FastTrackDegree it will say " The Pennsylvania State University" (more info here)
An important point for me is to get into a top on campus MBA program afterward. And PennState is more prestigious than UMPI.
