Pierpont BOG IS concentration to UMPI BAS with minors

There are a lot of caveats and side notes when it comes to immigration. A lot of stuff depends on the countries in question and the official(s) you're dealing with. However, generally speaking, I would never recommend either a BLS or a BAS for the purposes of immigration. I am not a lawyer, and it's probably best to discuss this with one, but immigration officials are almost always looking for a degree that is specific and required for a particular position. Master's degrees are often preferred, but the Bachelor's degree may also be important.

Also, the "worse" your country is viewed by immigration, the "better" your degree needs to be. Students from some European countries face very little scrutiny, relatively speaking, when trying to move to the U.S. A BAS probably wouldn't work for them anyway, but it might if it was one they'd held for a long time before beginning the immigration process. Students moving from Asian countries are more likely to need STEM degrees (Computer Science, Math, etc.) to move to the U.S.

If a student is getting a degree solely to immigrate, faster/easier may wind up costing more time and money in the long run.
