UMPI for BA/LS w/Accounting Minor

[dfrecore]

@dfrecore, I think I would still do my plan, mainly because I would prefer to have degrees from AACSB accredited schools rather than ACBSP, I would prefer an online degree from a B&M school over an online school, I like the idea of a competency based bachelor’s degree, and I would like have a bit more choice, not being locked into one school/one employer. That said, your plan is certainly a good one. Hard to argue with graduating debt-free with a master’s degree!

I guess it just depends on what your goals are.  I don't care about AACSB vs. ACBSP, and neither do the vast majority of employers (most don't even know there's a difference between those and not having program accreditation at all).  Purdue Global does have a competency-based BSBA, so you could do that instead - or do it partway through and then switch to the Accountant BS.

Yes, using tuition assistance "limit's" you to that employer - but once you work somewhere, that's what you're choosing to do.  This is just one choice of many you will make, but luckily my kid decided that her choice was to get free college, so she was fine with limiting herself.  Putting on a limit now gives her freedom for the rest of her life (no debt).  Small price to pay for her, and she likes her job, so I guess there's that.
