Dual Degree at UMPI

[learningthehardway]

I have a BLS and BABA from UMPI. My BLS had to be completed and conferred. Then I had to reapply to UMPI for my BABA. I had to complete 30 more credits at UMPI. I received 2 diplomas. They're 2 totally different degrees. I graduated twice. You don't retake classes. You have to complete 30 credits in the BABA so if you want to complete both then you need to be strategic about what business courses you complete in the BLS. The GEC and general electives are done once you complete the BLS. So it's all about the major and concentration. You do have a break between the 2 degrees - 1 session or more. Your BLS MUST be conferred before you apply for the BABA.

However, having said all of that... if your scenario or situation changes, you can get the dual degree, it requires more costs, energy, time, and more residency credits.  1) If you can go another term (at least 2 sessions)  2) Take extra classes that is NOT offered in the first degree.  3) The second degree requires at least 30 credit difference  4) You can delay your graduation and add a second degree to the program list.

You CANNOT delay graduation. The BLS MUST be conferred prior to applying for the BABA. 2 sessions is not required. If someone can complete the 30 credits in 1 session then they have completed the degree and are ready to graduate.

Sorry I am late, I am just seeing this for some reason. So question... I noticed a lot of classes I am taking for the BLS essentially are the same as the BABA with the exception of maybe of some I believe. Might be less than 10, maybe 7 or 8...so Do I just take those, then toss in 2 or 3 random electives to meet the 10 classes needed at UMPI?
