UMPI also has a Bachelor of Applied Science, and the UL requirements are slightly lower than the BLS. You would need to apply for the BLS and then get permission to switch to the BAS. I would recommend the Project Management minor. If you're able to finish in a single session, it would only be $1,400 to finish, although you may need to complete some Sophia courses, depending on what courses you bring in from your AAS.

This program is VERY difficult to be accepted into at UMPI. Most of us were denied entry even though we met the requirements in the catalog. Most people cannot complete 10 courses in 1 sessions. Plan for 2 or 3 as a minimum. If you make it in 1 great, but don't count on it.

I agree - I don't really see the need to try to jump through hoops when the BLS isn't any harder than the BAS.

I also agree that you should plan on 2 terms, lots of people here have done it in that amount of time.  I don't think I know of but 2 people who have said they did it in 1.  Many have also done 3 terms, although those are more about people getting Financial Aid (so no need to rush), multiple minors/concentrations (so more than the 10 courses required), or degrees that are harder to get through quickly (CJ, History, English, and the Educational Studies minor all come to mind).
Thanks for this info. 

What seems to make the English and history options take longer?

Also, I’m a little confused about the 5 BLS concentration options. Would I just pick whichever has the most transfer credit I guess?
