@drevonkesh, He would need more upper level credits to complete the BLS, so I would add a second minor, such as the PM minor. Here's a read, I would recommend exactly this: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ment-Minor

If he wants a Business degree, I would not go for the BLS or BAS. Those are not Business degrees. They are Liberal Studies degrees that happen to contain Business classes. If he even suspects that he might want an MBA in the future, having a BABA from UMPI may help more than having a BLS with some Business classes would.

He still needs science. Make a spreadsheet to start plugging in what he's already completed and what he still needs to do. GEC requirements are here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents and also https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...ts_Roadmap

Then pick a BABA degree from https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI and go.

He has amazon career choice. Wgu if FREE.

Excelsior, TAMUC, TESU, UMPI, and WGU can be very good choices if you maximize the alternative credit transfer... Amazon should actually pay for any institution, they have partnerships but don't really need to have a partnership or not.

I think UMPI is the fastest - but haven't heard how the new Brightspace is going in that respect.

I agree with rachel83az - get a BABA, NOT a BLS. If he wants a business degree, that will be MUCH more useful for someone that's young and just starting out than any BLS degree.
