Second Bachelor’s with FlexPath?

[Vle045]

I would look at Northern Arizona competency based program, specifically the BA/BS in Management with an emphasis in HR. Seems like exactly what you want, degree wise. If you could get it done in 1 six-month term, it would cost you $3,000. To me, spending an extra $300 to get the degree you want from a far superior school in terms of reputation (and probably quality of education) is an absolute no brainer.

I currently attend UMPI and have very positive things to say about it as well.

Do you happen to know how many credits they might transfer in at Northern Arizona.  I took a quick peek at their site and didn’t see it.  That could be a determining factor.

90 credits, you must take 30 at NAU.

I have been looking at the UMPI site as several have suggested. I see that they require a Biology class. In all honesty, that class alone would rule that program out for me. I hate biology classes. It was required when I was a Psychology major. The best grade I could get in Biology was a D. It is the reason I changed my major and my previous classes won’t transfer. Anything with Biology is a hard pass for me.

It doesn't have to be biology at UMPI. That happens to be the only online science class available right now. ashkir posted a list of what they'll accept here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid333844 You could do a quick & cheap geology course somewhere.

Awesome!   Since I did so poorly with Biology, I did take a Chemistry class and got a B.  So maybe that would cover it.

Yeah, it should work.

LOL, I am the opposite... I loved Biology and also like Chemistry... actually, I love all the Sciences! hahaha... If you have options, I highly suggest looking at the Big 3 and other schools and if need be, just finish the degree at Stayer. It's the Masters degree that counts in the end, so spend more time on that degree instead....

[rachel83az]

It may be the Master's that counts in the end but you should also consider what might happen if you decide that you don't want to continue on to a Master's after all. Being stuck with a Capella degree wouldn't be the best choice since there are other options available.

OP, you said you have a prior bachelor’s, right?  UMPI should wave/mark as completed all of your Gen Eds.  That’s their policy.  I have a prior BA in history and only had to meet the 30 hours at UMPI requirement and complete the required courses for the major/concentration.

Not sure if there is a requirement that the prior bachelor’s be RA , a certain GPA, or anything like that (if it might apply to you). Should probably double check on the particulars before you commit to UMPI, but I think you are in luck RE: biology.

Really?  Just like that?  No matching course for course?  And they consider that a bachelor’s?   I think that’s how many credits I did for a certificate.
