Also, you CAN ADD a second major even if you're taking BAS/BLS. You don't have to wait for it to be conferred; re-register for a dual degree. You can do 2 majors (If Applied Science/ Liberal Studies is counted as a "major") simultaneously. You'll get 2 diplomas. (Am I the only one who is finding out this?)

Here's the proof:

Thanks for the extremely useful post. I just finished a BLS in Management but have over 150 credit hours. 

Can I add a BLS in Business Adminstration?  Where do you do that in MaineStreet?

How do you add a certificate? Is there a list of certificates or just Project Managemet? Can you add more than one certificate? Where do you add that in MaineStreet?

Thanks

You can add a certificate, just ask your academic coach and they'll add it for you. As for BLS in Business Administration, there is no such major, cause you "majoring" in Liberal Studies, you can only minor in Business Administration. But, you can add a BA in Business Administration to your program, which you don't have to wait your current degree to conferred and reapply for a BABA. And, you must add a concentration to your BABA program, it is their policy... Hope it helps...

Thank you, I only have 10 courses at UMPI and many of my business courses earned at Sophia were transferred as electives so I would have to take more courses to receive the BABA. Is there a way to add a 2nd minor to my BLS?
