Depending on which one, you can certainly get an additional concentration for the BABA (like Project Management) or Minor for the BLS (like Project Management or Accounting).
You should make sure you know for sure which one you're getting, and what the other options are. Then, the only thing you can really do is wait for an official eval before making any decisions.
I would also make sure that you complete an entire degree before adding a Concentration/Minor. It's very easy to get caught up in the whole "what else can I do?" enthusiasm, and halfway do a couple of different degrees and have nothing to show for it at the end. Instead, choose your degree and concentration/minor, finish it, and THEN if you have time left in a term (or have the money to do another term), you can add that extra concentration/minor. You always want to at least finish one thing, in case life happens and you can't do more.
It's a BA in Business Admin with a concentration in Management. I also had no idea that you could complete the degree before adding the concentration. I thought once you were done that was it. Thank you for the information.
I think you're a bit confused. You'll be working on your concentration in Management the entire time you're at UMPI. You can't complete the degree without the concentration. The concentration is part of the degree. You can add additional concentrations or minors. You can't take away the concentration though unless you change concentrations like you switched to Accounting or Project Management.

I meant an additional concentration which is what led to the confusion. I saw what I signed up for. Thanks

AWesome!!!!
HUM 103, POS 101 were cakewalks. I did ENV 110 at Sophia.org. FRE I isn't that bad, especially if you already know the language. It's pretty much a small few paragraphs final.
BUS 260 was really straight forward. BUS 415 was a cakewalk. Brush up on Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and Muda for that class and you'd breeze through 440.

That's awesome, I'm still waiting for my transcript evaluation. I'm not starting until May so maybe I can knock some courses at SDC or Sophia, I don't have many GENED left I think maybe one science.

You totally can I am a psycho and finished Sophia in less than a month and the two SDC courses in a couple of weeks. Well well worth it but you do have to take a min o f10 classes with them so keep that in mind.

Yes, as soon as I received my evaluation I will start knocking some of the classes I have left on either study.com and Sophia. I will make sure I have the 10 courses left at UMPI.

As a fellow psycho... I applaud you on a job well done! That's amazingly fast! I assume you're going for the BLS with some minor concentration? Good deal if you can finish 10 classes in just one term, it can't be beat for the price, even at two terms!

Is this the only course they missed from your evaluation? It's weird how the other board member had the same issue, I wonder if there are other courses that they don't auto transfer or if they have someone manually do this credit transfer deal...
