Is it possible to grad with both BLS and BAS? - soulking - 11-18-2024
Pretty much what the subject line says. Can you graduate with both BLS and BAS degrees using the minor, if you meet all other requirements?

Nope.
From the catalog:
Dual Baccalaureate Degrees
A student may earn multiple degrees provided they are different. The Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) degree and the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree may not be declared as a dual (secondary) degree, as both were designed with broad requirements to target a specific population. In order to receive additional degrees, the following conditions must be met: (1) The first degree must have been awarded; (2) The student must apply through Admissions for subsequent degrees; (3) A minimum number of credits must be earned beyond the total hours earned for the previous degree: 15 for each additional Associate, 30 for each additional Baccalaureate.

A BAS for BJ, a BLS for you, why not right?

Unfortunately, no. I asked Jessica the same question last year and I was told the following:

As much as I would love to as well, it can not be done... at least not at UMPI.

Technically an associate degree is not available in YourPace. There are policies governing associate degrees as well.
