Eventually I will have to pursue this. But as of now I have no project management experience, so it will be a haul. To address this, I have been mulling over the idea of learning about project management through adding it as a minor to the BLS degree.
However, I am currently enrolled (and begin Monday) for the Liberal Studies degree with Management information Systems minor. (an area I do currently work in and would be immediately applicable/ relevant to my work).
UMPI has accepted 117 hours in transfer, so I'll just need to take the 10 courses with them to complete this degree. (I have no previous degrees- but a hodgepodge of classes from a few colleges, plus the study.com / sophia to round out the rest of the courses).
My questions are- is UMPI receptive to adding a second minor to a BLS degree? If so, is this something that must be requested prior to Monday, or would it be acceptable to do on-the-fly?
I've been on the fence regarding bringing this up, because in part, I'd like to see how taxing their classes are / how I like the online learning platform before finding out it may be possible and committing.
Does anyone have any information on this?
Thanks much in advance!
You can complete all 5 minors if you really want. I did 3. You don't have to declare them by Monday. All you have to do is email your academic advisor and let them know you want to add a second minor and which one. They'll take care of everything. You can add them at any point in the session.
