BA, BABA, BLS - Accounting, which one?

I understand now, thank you!

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

Here's the thing, people have been 'busy', probably more busy than you, and they were able to do a double major with UMPI... You're looking at the numbers and it does seem daunting at first.  You need to compare what you can do and what you want to achieve, as I mentioned above, with your commitments and time, you can do the double major before your child hits the third grade.

For reference, here's the BA Accounting and the BABA Project Management & Info Systems links.  You'll notice almost half the courses are available through Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com and so on.  You want to hit the trifecta of certs, degree, experience, and you should start with doing Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com, from one and then work towards another provider.

One other thing to compare to is other institutions and how lengthy a course can/may be, here's a comparison for one course at institutions we recommend, a capstone course has been compared to 3/4ths of a degree at the CBE options such as WGU or UMPI.  3/4ths is 30 courses out of 40!  If that is the case, people can complete that in 3 months/12 weeks, or two 8 week terms.

In conclusion, don't let the numbers scare you, it's the amount of work you need to do.  You can think of one major as a course split into numerous assignments, assessments, each major actually is similar to completing a cumulative capstone.  For the length of time it will take you to do two courses at a regular college, you would have done two majors! Amazing right?

Last but not least, you're transferring the max into both degree majors, you're only left with 13-15 courses, if you do 5/session, it'll take 3 sessions as I estimated and will be just $4500.  Start with the Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com, that will hit both majors, once done then do the UMPI courses last.  Pace yourself with all providers, report back on your progress...
