UMPI BA Accounting Planning - Help to get an H1B

1. For immigration purposes, a Comp Sci degree will usually win out over a generic Business degree. Even then, though, it's not a sure-fire way to get into the USA. I've heard stories. Everything is a lot harder since 2017 or 2018.
2. UMPI, maybe. It depends on how you feel about writing academic papers. And Anabin likes UMPI, so it's probably the most useful for someone who might ever return to Germany. TESU degrees, for instance, are on a case-by-case basis with Anabin while UMPI is essentially an automatic "yes" as I understand it. At least for the Business degrees; not sure about the Liberal Studies ones. UMPI is supposed to have a Comp Sci degree at some point, but they don't have one yet. Unfortunately.
3. I don't really have firsthand experience with LA, but I have to say that might be one of the worst places to start out. It's extremely expensive to live there and "everyone" wants to live there. Even having a Comp Sci degree from somewhere like MIT wouldn't be a guarantee that you'd be employed.
4. Most schools in the USA don't care how old you are. For scholarship purposes, it might be different.

A generic MBA is pretty much nothing these days - for immigration purposes, anyway. I'm not saying that it's bad or that you shouldn't get one, but enough people have generic MBAs that it won't really put you ahead of citizens. What do you want to do? Why do you want to move to the US?
