But I do think that the whole thing about it being a "prison university" is a bit silly. It's just an inexpensive way to get a checkbox degree for people who don't care whether the degree is RA or NA. A BALS isn't exactly the most useful degree, employment-wise, either. Nothing against people who get them but employers tend to not look as favorably on them as on subject degrees.
As far as the BALS, it depends. It depends on what your concentration or minor is. If it's just general liberal arts, then probably not.

I'll be posting an update to my UMPI thread in a week or so. The term is almost over so I wanted to give an update.
