Need guidance for BOG AAS with transfer to UMPI to carry on to MOAL

[Hackingat40]

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.

Thank you for the advice. My thing is I am done with restaurants   I have accomplished a-lot from training managers and district managers to being a district manager proxy to being the number one store in the country for mobile order and pay launch for starbucks and presenting how we did it to a group of 500 peers and direct reports. My current credits are mainly towards tech sector. I hope to have a career change. I would not mind going to HR, training and development manager, heck even a principal for a local school district. I feel the skills and time management as well as ability to be flexible around the clock and being able to be a disruptor by thinking outside of the box can take anyone far in other fields. Just need to lay out my path to do so.
