UMPI Admission Requirements/Plan.

[svnkid]

Welcome to the board, in short, with the budget you have, I would just do the UMPI AALS (freebie), BA Psych, and take 4 classes towards the MAOL.  You can use your Pell Grant/Fin Aid for everything towards your undergraduate studies, with the $2-3K, you can try to finish the 9 classes for the MAOL and be done with the Bachelors/Masters combo!  Even though the MAOL is more similar to a Business degree, I think it has a few classes similar to a MA/MS Psych with an I/O concentration or component, just the number of classes in those subjects are different...

Thanks for answering! I was looking into the UMPI AALS program, and it sounds like a good deal. Are you recommending I add the AALS to the BA Psych and then “forget about it”? Would that be so all my art-related credits count towards my electives or what exactly is the benefit of adding this program? I'm a little confused with all the info I've read. If my Pell Grant covers everything, I might use the money to do a postbacc and get some research experience before applying for my master's, but thanks for the MAOL suggestion!
