Sophia and SDC Courses Have Been Gutted By UMPI

What if I got a BLS with a minor in Management and want to go back for BABA Management and Leadership? Will my previous business credits that were accepted from Study.com and Sophia for the first degree be accepted for my second degree?

Yes.

Basically, if you are going for the BLS with management minor, I would go for a different BBA concentration other than Management & Leadership. Do the PM & IS instead or something else, you just need to make sure there is a different of at least 10 classes within the degree, it can't really overlap too much.

I already have a BLS with management , and I was previously told I don't require 10-course residency ( if you can confirm this with me ).

I'd rather pursue a BBA in M&L because it is the path of least resistance. My goal is simply to have a business degree , to facilitate getting into an MBA program.

You're confusing residency requirements with the degree requirements, they're different things. Residency is the number of credits you need to complete at the institution. Degree requirements are the total number of credits for the degree itself. You can't have the degree be conferred when there are only 1 or 2 classes that are different, that's what they have an * on some minors mentioning, specific majors/concentrations can't take these minors with the *.

What you need to do is exactly what I mentioned, at least 10 classes that are different as long as they're transferrable using Sophia.org or Study.com and any other ACE provider they take. You just need 1 session of $1700 and 1 class from UMPI to finish off the degree as long as you get 9 class requirements transferred in.

Here's what I have :

In total, I still have to complete 9 courses, 4 of which I must do at UMPI . 

So, even though I only have 9 courses left to do, I still have to have 10 different courses? Not sure I understood that part . If you have time to advice me on how to proceed based on the sheet , I would really appreciate it.

Review my previous post... Basically, it depends on what you have remaining left to complete. Did UMPI provide you an evaluation where it shows you in highlighted pink or yellow the remaining requirements to finish the degree? If it shows 9 classes left, that's all you need to do, not the 10 I mentioned. Some, if not, most institutions allow you to bring in 75% of the bachelors, the 25% needs to be done from them.

So... If you've done a degree prior, only 75% can go towards another bachelors, thus, you have 30 credits left to complete. In any case, you just need to do the 9 classes you have remaining, X from transfer and X at UMPI. My example above if you had 10 left was to do 9 from ACE providers, and complete 1 class at UMPI for $1700, if you have 9 left and doing 5 with ACE, then just do the 4 you have left at UMPI.
