UMPI

[ss20ts]

No one, absolutely no one will give a flying you know what about your degree if you're already working and have some experience. They don't care if it's a BLS or BA, or BS etc. As a matter fact most companies will not even verify if you actually have one or not.

This part is so not true. Most companies will verify. With the onset of HR and Payroll 3rd party application systems, they make it very easy and cheap for companies to add this background/education verification search as part of their overall package of services. 

In fact many companies, depending on the level and job role, are adding credit checks as part of their pre-employment background checks.

Hey ss20ts, 
Do you plan to work on a Master's when you complete UMPI? I was giving them strong consideration, along with NAU, but the grad schools I spoke with (which I have narrowed down to 3), two recommended to not go the CBE route, the 3rd claims to have a student in their grad program who received their Bachelor's from WGU.

Yes, I will be going on to grad school next year. I have spoken with a few and none have an issue with a CBE program. The college here is thrilled with a BLS from the University of Maine. I live in NY so not totally out of the region. They didn't ask about what type of program it is. I asked about it being CBE and they're not concerned. That's Keuka College. I am also looking at WGU and SNHU. I will be going for 2 master's degrees. I will probably go to WGU for a master's first so I can get it done in 6 months. Then I will be moving on to a second master's degree in my specialization. I will go back to work after I finish the MS in Management which I will do first. Planning on WGU for this. Then I want a MS in Project Management to work on while I'm working again. I'm looking for an actual MS in Project Management not an MBA with a Project Management concentration. In my brief search, SNHU is the only online MS in Project Management I have found. I haven't done a ton of research yet though.
