Unsure of Which Institution to Choose and How I Can Use Work Experience to My Benefit

[freeloader]

I too think UMPI would be an excellent option for you, skite. The BA in history and political science or the BA in Business Administration would be natural choices, but I feel like the BLS might be an even better option. Since you wear so many hats and work in the museum world (in which I used to work, BTW), a BLS with management and educational studies minors would make a lot of sense for you. UMPI also offers a history minor for on-campus students. There have been other students who have reported being able to pursue minors not listed on the YourPace webpage. All the courses for a history minor are available through YourPace; I would ask if you could take the courses/add this to a YourPace degree plan. Assuming you plan to stay in the museum world (or in a closely related area), a BLS with minors in management, educational studies, and (potentially) history would seem to a pretty darn good degree to list on your resume. It also would be really easy to link your degree to any type of museum work in a history museum/historic site.
