UMPI BLS MIS minor question

[Acsk8dc]

Hi I'm new here, is there any way to make the above degree a major in MIS? Could I just use my electives to take as many computer science and business classes? Also will employers not respect the degree due to the BLS designation?T hanks for your help

No, you cannot make the BLS a major in MIS. The closest you can get to that is the BABA Project Management. On the degree/transcript, it's actually a degree in Project Management & Management Information Systems.

As for whether or not employers will respect it, that depends. Is the employer simply looking for "any" degree? If so, BLS is fine. Is the employer looking for a STEM/technical degree? If so, the BLS may or may not be fine. Is the employer looking for a business-type degree? Again, if so, this may not be the degree for you.

Thanks so much, I didn't realize the transcript said MIS with the project management. I will probably end up going with that degree.

Does anybody know if there is a degree plan for the BABA project management?

@Acsk8dc, Welcome to the board, I suggest the UMPI BABA PM & IS if that's what you're looking for... you may want to fill in the template and addendum, this way you can provide more details on what you're looking for and have a bigger overview or picture for senior members or mods to assist you further: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
