Torn between 2 degrees

If you are interested in the BLS, you can certainly pursue both the project management and MIS minors. You have perhaps seen that one of our very active posters completed a BLS with three minors.

Can you do the BA in Business Administration with a Project Management Concentration and an MIS minor?  I don’t think anybody who posts here has completed a BABA with one of the business-related minors, but I think you probably could do it. The easiest thing would be to email Jessica Winslow (jessica.b.winslow@maine.edu), explain your situation, and ask her.

FWIW, I suspect you can do the BABA with a business-related minor. There are other people on the board who have done the BABA with a non-business minor (I was enrolled for a while in the BABA program with educational studies minor but ultimately dropped that minor). If, for some reason, she says you can’t have that minor (because of say, a university rule), you could likely do a workaround. If you need “extra” credits for the 120 required hours to graduate, you could select your “extra” hours from the courses in the MIS minor. If you are self-funding (as opposed to receiving federal financial aid), they are also less stringent about the courses you take.  So, if you are self-funding, you could almost certainly take the MIS minor courses, even if they won’t let you have the minor, and even if you go above your 120 required hours.

Thank you so much for your help!!
