Degree Planning Advice- UMPI BABA
#1
Hey all. been lurking for about a year now, but I'm finally looking to jump in full force to get a degree! after a long time deciding what I want I think the path I chose degree wise is the best for me. Ive attached the degree plan I intend to follow and am hoping for any advice. It looks a little rough but it has all the relevant info. 

Your Location: California
Your Age: 23
What kind of degree do you want?: BABA w/ concentrations in mgmt & accounting + mgmt information systems minor
Current Regional Accredited Credits: none
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none
Any certifications or military experience?: none
Budget: none. willing to spend whatever needed, but hoping to minimize amount of sessions at UMPI
Commitments: job 9-5, none otherwise
Dedicated time to study:4ish hours after work, willing to hunker down and spend most weekends studying. estimated 25-30 hours a week
Timeline: hoping to have as much as physically possible done before august 2025. at minimum, I would like to have finished all credits that I plan on transferring in. dedicated time to study becomes practically nonexistent after that until December. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: none Sad

More Relevant Info: I followed ashkir's 6 month BABA plan as closely as I could, using their spreadsheet as a template, making adjustments based off of the most recent info on catalog.umpi.edu . I also added a management information systems minor, as well as a second concentration in accounting. I would like to complete my degree in as few sessions as possible at UMPI. That being said, according to the plan I will be following, I have an additional 3 classes I can still transfer in, But im not sure which ones I should/could/can. Wit that in mind here are the main questions I have:

Which other classes should I transfer in and from where?

Are there any courses on my current plan that are redundant/unnecessary/outdated, and which courses should I replace/consolidate them with? 

Are there any courses that are overly time consuming at UMPI that I would be better off taking elsewhere, and if so what courses should I swap them out with?

Thanks all for your time Smile

Welcome to the board, it's great you've got this information up and the addendum/template filled in. I'm unable to review the file as my PC doesn't have MS Office installed (and I don't like downloading and reviewing items in my One drive or Google drive). I usually get people to link us by making the file viewable and not editable. Anyways, my suggestion is the following: Do the BABA Accounting and PM & IS double concentration instead, it'll look better than having a minor.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I looked into the PM &IS and accounting double major with a management minor, and I think I'll most likely go that route as it only adds one class. Here is my new revised plan, with easier access

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...ue&sd=true

 With that being said, after all the adjustments I made to my plan, I now have an extra 14 credit hours available for transfer, as I am only at 76 right now. My earlier question still stands as to trimming any excess from my plan. I also have a question now though as to which 4 classes are the most difficult or time consuming at UMPI, and therefore be more beneficial to take at study.com/ Sophia/etc.

That's the reason I mentioned to change the major or concentrations around, not to get the extra minor... You're trying to add extra ROI/Value, but at the cost of a potential extra session. Someone like me, who wants even more extras at times, would recommend only the minor if you've got both concentrations done already in 1 session and have that extra spare buffer time for the minor.
