It was reported by a student that you can add a minor that isn't in the YourPace program provided you get all the credits through alt credit providers. 

It is probably best to get all the credits needed for your main degree first, enroll, ask to add the minor, do all the credits, and transfer them in before your term begins.

This does open Pandora's box.

Really, then, you could get a BLS with History minor - whether you brought in any courses in History or not.  The upside here is that you don't need 2 semesters of Spanish (1 only); and the ability to actually choose which History courses you want to take, rather than taking the specific ones required for the History major.

For someone who was interested in becoming a Social Studies teacher, a BLS w/Education & History or PoliSci minors gets you something you might like.

I think the big differences are the Spanish and number of history and political science courses you take. Although it isn't clear on the website, you can pick many of your classes with the History & Political Science major as well. There is a list of requirements that does include US History I and II and World Civilization I and II (which Western Civilization does not fulfill), and your foreign language sequence, but after that the degree opens up a bit.

Anyway, I know it's not super clear on the website, as it looks like you have to take specific classes, but you do have some choice, especially knowing you can transfer in one or two UL history courses from elsewhere and they could count toward the degree.

It's not at all clear on the website what the requirements are, and what your options are.  This is what made me ultimately decide NOT to go to UMPI when thinking about a history degree - the lack of options, the lack of knowing courses would transfer in, all of that.  Someone should probably let them know that the way they have the website set up, many will choose not to go there based on this - I can't be the only person that looks at this, and thinks thanks but no thanks.
