Got my transcript evaluation!

The BABA requires MAT140 or Calc 1 for the math course which is probably why you received elective credit. Looking at the courses at UMPI which satisfy the GEC, for 3D nothing in the list is about astronomy. The courses are about the Earth. Meteorology would count, but astronomy isn't about the Earth. Environmental Science from Sophia is an easy and fast class so don't stress!

I don't see how it would be possible to finish both degrees by the end of July. A business degree in accounting will go much further career wise than any degree in interdisciplinary studies/liberal arts. What are you looking to do? What is the purpose of obtaining the degree?

Thank you for your response! Is Jessica the academic success coach? Ok so even though Into to College Mathematics technically meets 3A/3B, they just put it as an elective because I need to take MAT140/Calc 1 or the equivalent anyway? I'm glad Environmental Science is easy, that's good to hear! Yeah, I didn't see astronomy on UMPI's list, but on the "Read before applying" thread it said, "These are NOT the only ways to meet this [science] requirement. Example: A student has previously taken an Astronomy course from a brick & mortar school. They would then just need to take Sophia's Human Biology." Maybe I misunderstood it though, or my Intro to Astronomy course wasn't enough. 

Sorry for the confusion, I meant that I would need to finish the BS Interdisciplinary Studies and all that goes along with it (RA capstone course, 3 SDC, and 6 Sophia) by the end of July to then start the BABA accounting degree at UMPI in September (Fall 1) due to the degree conferral deadlines at my current school and the document deadlines at UMPI. I wouldn't finish the UMPI BABA accounting degree until early next year probably. The BS Interdisciplinary degree would only serve the purpose of waiving the UMPI GEC requirements so I wouldn't have to take as many Sophia/SDC courses. Some of the Sophia/SDC courses that go towards the business/accounting UMPI courses would also count as the electives needed at my current school to get me to 120 for the BS Interdisciplinary.

I'm looking to work in industry accounting or internal auditing, possibly starting in a junior staff accountant role. After an internship at a public firm, I decided the CPA/public accounting route wasn't for me, but I would still like to work in industry accounting. That's why I decided to go for the BABA accounting at UMPI (the accounting program at my current school is rough and would take me MUCH longer to complete).
