Nope. Nothing really. There's a Business Analytics course but the description is for the on campus class not the YourPace one. In YourPace I took a class called Strategic Development for it. My husband is wrapping up his Analytics degree from PUG and his classes on the subject were completely different.

MATHEMATICS!!! Upper and lower level Math courses would be great!

Personally I would love to take BUS 359 (IT Project Management). Course appears in the B&M UMPI catalog but not on YourPace.
Instead I have to take BUS 401. I am pursuing a BABA Project Management & MIS.

BUS359 used to be offered in YourPace but it wasn't open to many students because you had to already be working in IT and be able to use a work project for your Final Assessment. BUS401 is easy. It's a continuation of BUS400. Same template.

If I had an option to request courses or degree programs, concentrations, minors, or whatever else, I would be requesting more for the graduate level. They only have one degree and in a specific concentration, MAOL... if they can add more degrees to that or at least other concentrations, that would be an interesting setup, people can decide to go with something other than Organizational Leadership. They have similar courses that can be bundled up into a MAM or MSM, Masters Arts/Science in Management or something.

A couple of master's are in the works. Don't expect them soon though. The MAOL is the first master's UMPI has ever offered. They don't offer any on campus. This is a Brandman/Strut degree. The faculty for it aren't from UMPI with the exception of Dr. Rice. Most UMPI faculty don't have doctorates especially in the business department so they can't teach grad courses. Accreditation dictates that. Most of the YourPace degrees are from Brandman/Strut. Very little has been created by UMPI so far, but they are working on changing this and hiring new staff including course developers.
