You may want to get the UMPI BLS with a couple minors, one in management and the other in psychology and be done with it.  You can then ladder up to the Masters degree of your choice.  Another option is to have a BABA instead of the BLS, select a concentration such as M&L or PM&IS, and have a minor in psychology.  It really depends on what you as the student is looking for...

On the plus side, you can start out with Sophia and see how many credits you can get done in a few months.  I have a discount code I can share with you to save 15% off your first month GH77KPQ423. *This code is a discount code. I do not receive any compensation for use of this code. (This code can no longer be used at sign up after 12/31/23)

You can also add on a minor such as Psychology, and if you complete most of those minor credits at SDC and such, then you shouldn't have to do extra terms at UMPI to finish a minor.

Many folks on the board have found UMPI to be very transfer friendly.  The courses might vary depending on the program you choose.  The Management and Leadership one has more room for electives, if I recall correctly.  Sophia and other similar providers are a great way to get back into studying and find a good pace.  If you can move through the courses quickly, that might help you determine if you can keep up the pace for accelerating through a competency based degree.  (It sounds like you definitely have the motivation). My suggestion is to start with Sophia and complete as many courses as possible that might apply to your degree plan.  Sophia is the lowest cost, and  has a decent number of course options.  They provide all the course materials which you can reference as you move through the course.

I have noticed that most UMPI grads suggest taking the English Comp courses at UMPI due to speed and ease.

Sophia has been adding courses somewhat regularly.  So there could be new options that are not yet included in the Wiki and degree plans.

In regards to what I mentioned earlier, in short, it's exactly that... UMPI BLS two minors in Management & Psychology, they don't have concentrations or any other majors for the BLS, the major is the Liberal Studies.  For BABA PM&IS or another concentration of your choice, you can also add the Psychology minor.  Again, it's a BA Business Admin major, PM&IS (or whatever you want that's offered) concentration, plus the Psych minor...
