Degree planning help - UMPI BBA vs PUG BSBA

[crowbird]

Skip ASU... TESU/UMPI are both public/state institutions, these are ones I recommend over PUG as PUG is private, non profit, and exclusively online.  Having said that, if you're going after a Masters later, UMPI, PUG, etc would be a great option.  Going the UMPI BABA PM & IS route, or M&L route, your AALS is already done (you can add it as a second program and forget it) as the 30 credits you take for residency requirements fulfills the 15 credits needed for the AALS.  Pretend it'll take you 2 sessions to complete 30 credits at UMPI, that'll cost $3K, 3 sessions would be $4500.

TESU is the big kicker here, for additional associates, certificates, you can do the flat rate tuition for 15 credits at $4299, app fee $50, grad fee $298 = $4647.  Obviously for both, you'll have to transfer in the max credits using alternative credits, TESU allows more for transfer... I've been recommending many people who have the energy, money, time (like you do) to complete the 'best bang for the buck' by following steps I've mentioned on the board in my "Beginner's Guide" sticky.  I'll link you to the options to complete these 15 credits and the transfer credit threads.

Thanks, you mentioned earlier something about dual or double degree from tesu can you elaborate on that?

Also is it reasonable if i want to clear those UMPI AALS credits by taking additional courses(i am really interested in those creative writing courses) so it would either be my main BBA 30 credits plus additional 30 credits for the AALS in creative writing concentration or just +15 credits and ill get the general concentration (but ill still be able to get those 15 credits in creative writing courses) they also mention that creative writing courses can be taken twice for credit. All this assume a 2 or 3 terms time frame
