adding BA in Business Administration at UMPI; help with finding classes/ best pathway
#1
Hello, I am a former hs teacher, looking to go back to school to get second bachelor's in business administration to pursue a new career in business administration and eventually work in college admin services.

I have a degree in English, and the highest maths I took was College Level Algebra/ Pre-calc- Trig. 

My current cumulative gpa is about a 3.65. 

I am thinking about applying for UMPI's bachelor's of arts in Business Administration- with accounting focus

I was wondering if anyone knew which classes I must take with UMPI? And if and where I can obtain some classes/credits through a cheaper institution?

Core Class List Below:

BUS 101: Introduction to Business

BUS 150: Introduction to Financial Accounting
BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing
BUS 220: Managerial Accounting
BUS 244: Management Information Systems
BUS 325: Financial Management
BUS 353: Legal & Ethical Environment of Business
BUS 440: Business Analytics
BUS 469: Strategic Professional Communication
ECO 207: Macro & Micro Economics
MAT 140: Mathematics for Business
PCJ 215: Business Communications

Concentration Courses

BUS 350: Business Law I
BUS 352: Business Law II
BUS 361: Intermediate Accounting I
BUS 362: Intermediate Accounting II
BUS 376: Independent Auditing
BUS 377: Federal Taxation I
BUS 378: Federal Taxation II
BUS 464: Advanced Accounting


Thank you for your help, 
Syd

Since you already have a bachelor's degree, UMPI will waive the General Ed requirements.

Follow this plan here:

Start with Sophia courses, then do the Study.com courses. Once you enroll with UMPI, it should take you 1-2 terms to finish your degree.

Remember to have fun and enjoy the process.

Because you have a bachelor's degree already, you're waived from the GEC and the general electives. All you have to complete are the major and concentration courses. You must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI.

You can take these classes on Sophia and transfer them:
Accounting
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics - you have to take both of these for ECO207
Business Law

@SydWill, can you fill us in on the reasons for the BABA-Accounting? Would the recommendation of going for a Masters acceptable for you? You can get UMPI MAOL instead, or go for the degree JSD mentioned in a post above. I'm not sure what the BABA Accounting will do if you're wanting to get into Administration Services at a college or university. Is there a specific area in Admin Services, such as the registrars office or something you're looking at? If you fill us in with this template and last post addendum, it'll give us a clearer picture! https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
