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.
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.
The economics course is a single course on campus. That's why the YourPace degrees require both macro & micro. I wonder if they haven't expanded the math options in YourPace is due to the difficulty of math. I know there were a number of issues with the science course. We also need to keep in mind that YourPace is only a few years old. I think this is the 5th year of YourPace. It has grown during this time to include new bachelor's degrees and UMPI's first ever master's degree. More degrees are in the works so more classes are coming. When I started in August 2020 French 1 was the only foreign language class available in YourPace. Spanish 1 came later. I asked about it every few weeks because I was told that it was coming. I signed up for it as soon as it became available.
