Welcome to the board, great initial post to get the ball rolling, but you need to provide a bigger picture of your scenario by filling in the addendum and template with the info requested here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works
As a quick recommendation, you can do the UMPI BLS with a minor or two/three of your choice along with the 3-4 classes that can go into the MAOL later. Not everyone needs a business admin degree, the organizational leadership is a subset of business admin anyways...

Is the business degree the fastest and easiest degree I can receive with the credits I have available now?
RE: degree plan and fastest degree - bjcheung77 - 04-23-2025
No, the BBA is not the cheapest, easiest, fastest with the credits you have now. You want the BLS with minors as it will take 60 credits in the electives alone...

Thank you all for your help and this amazing degree forum. I have contacted UMPI to see what I will need to do the BLS and if I need to get a Bachelor's to do the MAOL, I noticed a few people stating you can take it without a degree. I have also applied for the FAFSA to see what I can get.
