I was also looking into the BABA Management & Leadership but was more impressed with the flexibility of the BLS and the number of minors you can attach to it. I wondered if anything was negative about having a Bachelor of Liberal Studies or if nothing was ever said about the Liberal Studies portion. I had not heard of it before reading into UMPI and this forum. I know the important part is typically having a bachelor's degree, but I was more curious if there was any pushback or grief given over that. I work in leadership and analytics. The PM/BA/M & CAPM minors fit what I want to do. I appreciate any incite. I have read online that there shouldn't be any issues, but I have never been able to ask someone firsthand about their experience. If I overlooked this question being asked somewhere previously, I apologize for missing that before asking.
Basically, it's 3 minors that can be done with the BAS and BLS, the CAPM minor I don't think is an option, but you can do the PM minor, furthermore, the BA minor isn't in the Your Pace program, but you can complete it as long as the classes are all transferred in or completed with a class on the Your Pace platform. Here's an example of the BAS with MIS, PM minors, in addition to the 4 MAOL classes, you can add a third minor, the Management if you needed: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid420108
Hey! Thanks for getting back to me on this and for the detailed information. I was also researching the option with the MIS minor. The 4 MAOL classes are exciting to complete when working on this BLS.
That is poor wording on my part. I believe the CAPM is the PM certificate to apply for during the program. The only difference between the PM Minor and the certificate is BUS-469. The description at least appears you can get it in the YourPace Program.
I am looking at a similar path to the one linked in the post of the BOG AAS to UMPI BLS + Minors to MAOL (I want the BOG AAS to have something from the years in college). I'm unsure if you can still tack on the UMPI AALS, but I plan on trying. Once I clear out all the Sophia/Coursea courses, I will post something with the degree plan to ensure I haven't overlooked anything.
My primary concern is if the BLS is looked at differently than the BABA/BS/BA degrees or if I have overthought that part. My logic is that multiple minors would look better, but it's been years since I have done hiring, and when I hired in restaurants, I hired purely on experience.
