Double Major UMPI to get 60 credits

[ss20ts]

Then that settles it, you can go for a double major at UMPI or if you prefer, go for a different degree... I think you've seen another member on this board mysonx3, they got a TESU History & Psychology dual degree and was able to get into a top 14 law school and an IVY at Cornell.  As LevelUP mentioned - You can go for the BA Accounting and get a BABA Project Management or some other concentration for the BABA degree available on YourPace.

There's actually less than 30 credits different between the BA in Accounting and the BABA with Project Management Concentration at UMPI. Same with all of the BABA's except for the Marketing and Supply Chain Management Concentrations. I'm in the Marketing Concentration and it is not a fast program. Lots of long papers, a survey you design and get responses for then write a paper and give an oral PowerPower, lots of PowerPoint presentations with audio. Definitely not a fast concentration. The OP would also need to get approval for the double major. Adding a couple minors may be easier.

<grin> Hmm, how about the BA Accounting and a BABA Marketing & Supply Chain. LOL, I don't know, maybe a different degree altogether, like another BA History, something interesting for your studies or for learning, not for the sake of obtaining graded credits for cheap... I would think on this and decide, I agree, adding a couple minors might be the easiest option!

I am also a non-US resident who would like to do a double major at UMPI as well. Last time I asked on this forum however, I was told that doing a double major with YourPace was likely not possible. Have the rules changed in the last year or so?

If they allow a double major, it probably has to be a combination of the majors they offer online. And perhaps they won't allow a combination of accounting and business administration majors, as the course overlap is to large. Maybe adding concentrations to the business major is the easiest way forward.

It all depends on the degree you're going for. There are different policies for the BLS than the BA.

Yes, I know that there are certain restrictions on the BLS. But is it possible to do a double major, in say accounting and history? Likely It will then require the student complete a minimum of 2*30 RA credits in succession.

Yes, you can complete a BA in Accounting and a BA in History. That would be more than 60 credits though. I still recommend the BA in Accounting with a couple of minors added on to get the 60 credits. I think this is the easiest way to get to 60 credits and they will still be business credits.

Yes that is likely the best strategy for the thread starter, if he wants to earn the 150 credits. In my case I actually want to complete these two majors. This will take me slightly beyond 20 RA courses. 
I am already on my 20th Sophia course, so my Sophia subscription is ending soon. Then I will be off to Instantcert and Study.com. I already have to start thinking about my UMPI enrolment now.

From the responses on this thread it looks like the best route might be the BA Accounting with the minors to get the credits.
Do I remember correctly that I should talk to them about getting a minor after enrollment?

Yes, once you're enrolled you'll talk about the minor options available with your major with your academic advisor. That's who will add them to your program and figure out which ones will work with your degree.

Again, it looks like on minor wont equal 30 credits. Am I reading that right?
