I wasn't aware that UMPI offered Accounting specifically. When I got my BA with an Accounting Concentration a few years back, that was the only option.

UPMI currently offers two options, in person:

- BA Accounting

- BABA Accounting

YourPace has three options:

- BA Accounting

- BABA Accounting

- BLS Accounting

I applied for BABA, but given my transfer hours, they may say I should go BA route.

I don't really mind either BA or BABA. It's basically the same as the BBA Acct or BAcct I've seen at other schools and seen while hiring applicants at my previous companies.

Given my situation, I'm looking at UMPI or Thomas Edison State University. I looked at other online bachelors: the University of Houston (my first choice) doesn't allow second bachelor degrees in their business school, and the University of Alabama Birmingham required me to re-do almost 2 years of coursework.

Between these two choices, I'd say you're much more likely to have a personal, individualized experience at UMPI, it's a smaller campus, even if you're a 100% online student, they take a lot of pride in fostering connection with their students.

That’s a refreshing perspective considering that my first undergrad was 50,000 people.

UMPI is very close to DFAS, so they’re catering to that need.
