BA, BABA, BLS - Accounting, which one?

[lllunchbox]

Hmm, I still recommend going with the BA Accounting and also a BABA PM & IS double major.  The BA Accounting only has two extra accounting courses than BABA Accounting, and because you can't double major in a BABA with two different concentrations (as the major is Business Administration), this would be the most ROI/Value and under your budget.  Difference between this and the BLS is that free electives are less.  

Anyways, if you review the link to my previous post, you'll have some classes that are required for the PM & IS.  If you look at the spreadsheet I created 3 months ago, you'll see the only difference is 4 non Accounting courses between the BA Accounting and the BABA Accounting.  Total in different courses actually is just 18 credits (6 courses) Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid390713

Furthermore the most of the extra courses, such as COM 210, BUS 415, BUS 489 from the BA Accounting is already part of the requirements for the BABA Project Management.  You're not doing too much extra work in order to get the second major!  Again, if I was in your shoes and looking at the BLS Accounting & MIS minors, by changing the free electives to required courses, you get two majors vs minors!

So how would this work with the FAFSA grants? Because you're cut off from grants once you get your first bachelor's. So I would get my BA Accounting and then have to out of pocket the addition BABA-PM courses?

You're not cut off, you're thinking of too much, it's not two degrees, it's one degree with two majors (Accounting & Business Administration).  Concentrations, Minors are just that, it's part of a degree, you can have multiple minors or majors at UMPI, and for some majors, there are concentrations.  In the end, or at the end of the day, you're just getting one degree.

Sometimes people get confused on, concentrations, minors, majors, double degree, dual major, etc... just like this person in the thread, you should review the entire thread, but here are the 4 posts of mine that explain everything in the thread (especially the last post is the recap).

I understand now, thank you!

Doing the double major would put me at taking 30 classes at UMPI, that's a lot.
