Merging your threads, you may want to review the advice and see which way is more fitting, you may want to decide on doing the BAS as mentioned. If you really want to change things around, the BABA PM & IS would also work for you, as I mentioned in an earlier post, you may want to take the 3-4 classes that can transfer to the MAOL if you decide on that later...

Yeah, I was just reading his previous threads before it merged and it looks like others have already provided this information.
I don’t understand why the timeline is so inflexible but it is possible to complete 30 credit hours at UMPI in one 8-week session (March start, May graduation). Even if it takes two sessions (late June graduation), You can take 3 of these 4 UMPI undergraduate classes: BUS 335, BUS 353, BUS 440, and BUS 469. These courses can be applied to the MAOL (reduces the MAOL from 36 credits to 27, only 3 of those classes can be applied).

The reason is it’s inflexible is because I’m more than likely moving overseas in May. I’m trying to cut down costs and I’m trying to make sure that I’m not spending too much something that could take much longer if I’m already 90+ in.
I have a couple other reasons for the inflexibility, but with it being december almost january right now, I think wanting to be finished by at least May especially shouldn’t be considered too out of scope especially if I’ve spent 2 years working on my degree already. I admire how much this forum supports UMPI, and I am still considering it but I wanted to know if there were more options that were compatible with my goals. I’ve been looking on the Wiki and through multiple posts here but I can’t seem to find much on folks who accelerated outside of WGU or UMPI. Sorry for not clarifying earlier.

If possible you may want to postpone moving overseas until you graduate and your degree is conferred. It will make the process much smoother. Diplomas aren't mailed right away. Degrees aren't conferred right away either. It typically takes 6-8 weeks for degrees to be conferred with UMPI. If you're moving overseas WGU may not be your best choice. UMPI is a state university and that may help you in the job market more overseas.

Furthermore, if you're staying with WGU, it's best link us to your academic evaluation, without knowing what's remaining, we won't know what can/can't be transferred in. For example, you've got 60+ credits from WGU, you've already met their residency requirements, if you completed all the classes that can't be transferred into WGU, that means... You can transfer everything else in! We don't know until you link us to the academic evaluation... It's great you're asking questions and have the addendum and templates, but without the full picture of what's left, going to either institution is a flip of a coin toss right now. Link us, remove all personal info and have a pdf or picture without your details, but the academic evaluation itself illustrating the remaining requirements.
