Especially statistics classes are hard to find. UMPI has one combined micro/macro economics course. I think this is a bad strategy on their part. In the History/political science Yourpace programme, it is not even possible to do the PS concentration with statistics 1 & 2, instead of foreign language 1 & 2. This is an option if you attend the regular university.
More classes in economics and finance. Upper-level economics classes are really hard to find online and tend to be pretty expensive. Could be a way for UMPI to further differentiate itself from the crowd. These courses tend to math-centered, so, see my above comment.
I have a bachelor and master degree in economics, so I fully understand where you are coming from. When you go past first year economics/finance, the subject becomes a lot more math heavy. Several universities I know of offer a combined bachelor degree in economics and mathematics. You could consider doing a master in economics/finance.
