Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster...Personal Plan & Progress

[klone]

I see in the comments you mention beginning flight school soon.

Are you planning on being a professional pilot?

If so, get the BABA.

Also, why UMPI if loathe writing assignments and the significantly impede your progress?

Military, I pretty much have a guaranteed slot right now if I can finish my degree within the next year. And again, they don't care if it's in Theology, Engineering, Underwater Basketweaving, or Liberal Studies. 

I'm going with UMPI for a multitude of reasons. Kind of along the same lines as the discussion that the BABA sounds better than a BLS, I think UMPI sounds better as a traditional state school (even though the regional accreditation is just as legit at TESU, Liberty, SNHU, etc.) Also, it was the school and degree plan that I found plentiful information on to formulate and plan. I was stuck in analysis paralysis for a long time, and it was finally to - pardon the language - shit or get off the pot. I needed to pick something - anything - and go.

Military here! In the military, there's no guarantee of securing a slot in pilot training, let alone OCS—it’s highly competitive. A Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) won’t hold the same weight as a Bachelor of Business Administration (BABA) or other more specialized degrees. You’ve been misinformed. Selection boards prioritize candidates with stronger academic credentials and degrees that align more closely with the demands of leadership and technical expertise required for these roles.
