Hi Everyone...
I started my BABA program by the recommendation of the admissions counselor which I regrettably took at heart without doing my own research. I was too focused on transfering the maximum credits that I did not place too much thought into my major. To be honest, I don't like the program much. I am working as an IT Technician and I think that a BAS with an MIS minor would be a way better option for me. I saw the wiki post and fell in love with the posted degree plan.
Anyways,
bottom line is:
I am really interested in switching to the BAS MIS program. I emailed Jessica about possibly switching and she let me know that I needed 40 technical credits but she also gave me the option to switch to a BLS program which I really do not prefer out of cultural reasons.
What would constitue a technical credit??
Here is everything I transferred to UMPI so far..
B&M (Penn State)

Intro to Business: BUS 101 3 credits

After I learned about the BAS option at UMPI I did the following:
I was able to acquire the Pierpont AAS with an MIS AoA
I got the Google IT certification and the Google Data certification
Also... I am in the process of finishing an IBM certificate... That one will also be 10 credits as well.
My Questions:
Do you think this will be enough to get accepted to the program?? I heard some stories here and I am feeling pretty insecure.
I am also really young (21 yo) which I think puts me in a disadvantage in the sense of the BAS being an in person degree and everything...
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
