Degree Planning: Seeking a Bachelor's Degree from UMPI

[bjcheung77]

You don't really need that many associates, you can focus on the Bachelors and make sure to have the requirements for the Masters fulfilled, the freebie associates or certificates along the way are just icing on the cake, you can add them and forget them as most of the time they'll be completed on route to the Bachelors anyways. Meaning, all the classes you take towards the Bachelors would be applied to the Associates, without you needing to do extra work...

Oh, that's awesome. I was thinking about that today. I wonder if I should push my start date back to Spring 2 in March 2024 and begin completing Sophia then Study.com courses for the BLS Management following the Wiki guide?

You can do exactly that, you can delay your start date, and complete requirements for the BLS as per the WIKI plans using the Sophia.org/Study.com combo. Here's a freebie, add the AALS to your BLS as an additional secondary program, and then forget it, once you finish your BLS, you'll get the AALS completed as well. As part of your BLS, you will not have enough upper level credits, so you need to decide to get another minor or take the 3-4 classes that go towards the MAOL if you decide that route.
