Concurrent Degrees

Anyways, you can do the BAS first and then the BA Psych, again ask to not graduate until you complete the BA Psych to reap the benefits of financial aid for both degrees.  You need to email admissions/advising both to make sure that is possible, it may even go up to the registrar for that request.  I think they'll allow it, as you're allowed to do double majors, dual degrees, etc, they just don't show (in the details on the link I posted earlier) on how to do both at the same time...

Budget: I don’t have much of a budget for education expenses, I will be looking to the Pell Grant for UMPI and continue taking Sophia/Coursera as efficiently as possible.
Commitments: I will be working full-time.
Dedicated time to study: Maybe have 10-20 hours per week for study.
Timeline: Unless I determine a more attractive direction, finishing the BAS, BA and MAOL from UMPI within 2 years would be the ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: It’s possible my workplace might have assistance/reimbursement, I will be looking into it, but will not be building a plan that hinges on it.

Thank you, and thanks to CenterSquarEd and ss20ts, for the ideas and discussion. Once enrolled, I'll inquire with admissions and advising to ensure it's possible and ask to hold graduation on the BAS until completing the BA Psych. 

I believe I would prefer a BAS over a BABA. 

I surmise each degree would need to hit a 30-credit minimum. After Sophia and SDC credits that fulfill subject requirements in the major, the Psychology major would still need 9 classes, so 30 credits would seem about right, anyway.

Thanks again!
