2 time UMPI YourPace alumna here. I've also spent many years working restaurants. My recommendation is not for the BAS but the BABA with Management and Leadership Concentration because this will help you much more in your career to become a General Manager. The BAS is a technical degree, but you're not in a technical position. It will contain courses which are useful as a restaurant manager whereas a class on database management may not be helpful to you. You'd also probably be able to fly through many of the business courses because of your experience.
Forget the portfolio credits at UMPI. They are FAR more work than a YourPace class. Portfolio credits require 3-5 papers, letters from managers, and other documentation. And you're not guaranteed the credits. You also pay per credit whether or not you receive credit. YourPace is a flat fee tuition so you pay the same if you complete 3 courses per term or 150 courses per term.
With the BABA, you'll be required to take some of the courses which will be waived in the MAOL. The BAS isn't designed that way.
