Degree Advice - Pierpont, UMPI, WGU?
#11
On the newly overhauled YourPace site the same pages identify the business administration degree both as a BA in Business Administration and as a BBA, for example on this page for the Management & Leadership concentration.

Oh and one more thing. If you start in January, you'll most likely graduate from UMPI before Pierpont. If UMPI takes you 2 terms, then you'll still graduate in May, but UMPI graduates in really early May.
Oh, that’s a great thing. Do we know what that looks like on diplomas yet? I’ve seen people post older ones that said, “Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration” and don’t include the concentration. If it actually said, “Bachelor of Business Administration in Project Management & Information Systems” now, that opens up the audience quite a bit more… if it just says “Bachelor of Business Administration,” I still like that for OP, but it limits who’s attracted to UMPI.

No one has a BBA yet. This literally changed on the website overnight. Today is the first day we're seeing it. A BBA is a quite common in bus admin. PM & IS is the Concentration not the major. The major is BA.

Okay, friends.  I believe I've made some decisions with the help of some of you - thank you for your advice!

I've decided to ditch WGU and the BAS waiting-for-May thing and focus on a) Might as well get the mostly-free AAS from Pierpont and in the meantime, and b) Focus on the newly-renamed UMPI BBA in Project Management & Information Systems.

Here is my relevant degree plan from the first post in this thread, building on another poster's template:
UMPI BABA PM & Info Systems Degree Plan

I still have a couple of open questions whenever I hear back from UMPI, one regarding some RA transfer equivalents and the other on the PCJ 215 / COM 210 / BUS 210 mystery. Otherwise I believe I've got all my GECs and electives as well as major and concentrations satisfied.

think I now have everything I need to start in January. Open to any suggestions or corrections for things I've overlooked!

Thanks again for everyone's advice and patience!

Great choice, do the Pierpont BOG with an emphasis of your liking, then ladder that up with the PM&IS. I wouldn't wait for anything, you have your plan, go for it... BTW, you don't have to wait for May to do the BAS, there is no application for the BAS directly, you apply for any of the degrees they have on Your Pace and 'switch' to that, for example you apply for the BLS with a minor or the BABA PM&IS, then when you enroll, ask to be moved to that BAS if you hit the requirements for entry.
