adding BA in Business Administration at UMPI; help with finding classes/ best pathway

[SydWill]

Hello, I am a former hs teacher, looking to go back to school to get second bachelor's in business administration to pursue a new career in business administration and eventually work in college admin services.

I have a degree in English, and the highest maths I took was College Level Algebra/ Pre-calc- Trig. 

My current cumulative gpa is about a 3.65. 

I am thinking about applying for UMPI's bachelor's of arts in Business Administration- with accounting focus

I was wondering if anyone knew which classes I must take with UMPI? And if and where I can obtain some classes/credits through a cheaper institution?

Since you already have a bachelor's degree, UMPI will waive the General Ed requirements.

Follow this plan here:
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan

Start with Sophia courses, then do the Study.com courses. Once you enroll with UMPI, it should take you 1-2 terms to finish your degree.

Remember to have fun and enjoy the process.

If you want to go into College Admin, why not skip the unrelated Biz Admin and jump to something like an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership?

Because you have a bachelor's degree already, you're waived from the GEC and the general electives. All you have to complete are the major and concentration courses. You must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI.

You can take these classes on Sophia and transfer them:
Accounting
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics - you have to take both of these for ECO207
Business Law

@SydWill, can you fill us in on the reasons for the BABA-Accounting? Would the recommendation of going for a Masters acceptable for you? You can get UMPI MAOL instead, or go for the degree JSD mentioned in a post above. I'm not sure what the BABA Accounting will do if you're wanting to get into Administration Services at a college or university. Is there a specific area in Admin Services, such as the registrars office or something you're looking at? If you fill us in with this template and last post addendum, it'll give us a clearer picture! https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
