major/minor question

[ouiarenotamuzed]

I searched and I can't find an answer to this specific question.  Can I add a biz minor (management and leadership) to the psych BA?  Also if you add a minor does it change the amount of credits you can transfer in for a single bachelors?  

Am i better off transferring 115-120 credits, and doing 20ish credits in 2 different disciplines to finish 2 bachelor degrees?  

Background:  accepted into umpi for yourpace psych, 76 transfer credits (all general ed other than english comp 1&2, all electives, statistics towards psych major, biz comm toward minor all done, plus no assessment on life experience yet, but have run a business and manage a department for another university currently, plus a full 4 year apprenticeship in a trade).  Not expecting a ton of life experience credit, but something would be nice.  I start umpi in march and would like to snag some more credit before I start.

@ouiarenotamuzed, Welcome to the board, intriguing first post with questions, having said that, you're missing the addendum and template information. You need to provide us a bigger overall picture of your scenario by following the link here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

You can add a major, major with concentration, or a minor to your BA Psych, but before you tread on that, are you able to complete the Psych Internship/Practicum?  The degree requires a minimum of 30 credits for residency credits, you can have all the credits transferred in, but you'll still need 30 from UMPI.

In brief, "BA and BABA can have majors and concentrations within those majors as well as minors added, the BAS/BLS can only have minors." Here's the thread where I "quoted" my own text above: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid406657

BTW, do you get 'free' tuition at that university you're currently working for? Et Pourquoi... Mon ami, Vous n'êtes pas amusé?

l will post that infor here, thank you.   To answer your questions:  yes I can complete the practicum.   No, the university that work for does not offer any incentive, discount, or re-imbursemnt for any education to it's employees.
