2 Bachelors = BLS & BA OR BABA - possible?

[ss20ts]

Someone private messaged me on the other board and asked about UMPI, double degree option.  If I recall correctly, similar to some schools, UMPI doesn't award a BLS as a second degree if you already have a general studies or liberal arts degree, you'll have to go for a BA or BABA with a concentration or major.  But they will allow the BLS as the first degree and you can get a BA or BABA with a concentration later.


Does anyone know if UMPI allow two degrees? If so, which degree goes first? I assume it's the BLS then you can do the BA or BABA, but no the other way around... such as a BA/BABA first and then a BLS, I wonder if the concentration is different, if they allow that... well, maybe it's best to get them to shoot off an email to UMPI.

You are all kinds of jumbled up. UMPI allows second degrees in certain situations. If you've come from another school, it's bit different. If you'e degrees are completed at UMPI, you cannot go for a second degree if you have competed their BLS because it's a terminal degree. You also need to go for completely different degrees. Like you can complete the BA in Business Administration/Project Management and then complete a BA in English. You cannot complete another BA in Business Administration in another concentration. I was also told that I could not complete the BUS in Business Administration (no matter the concentration) then go for the BLS because there's too much overlap with the concentrations and minors. 

You should tell your friend to join the forum and ask the questions here. Much easier than relaying the info.

Is that accredited? The price point is wonderful and they have a masters degree there I'd love to have!

You've already applied to UMPI!
