A lot of credits trying to get a quick degree!
#1
Hi everyone,

I have been lurking around here for a while off and on and I feel like I have really gotten myself all mixed up with what to do to get a degree. I know I have a lot of credits so I’m just trying to figure out the best way to get a business degree with a leaning in tech (project management). I would like to not have to take a bunch more courses elsewhere, but I can if it’s the easiest way to get something completed! I did try WGU, but I didn’t really like it. I was able to get through a lot of courses in one term, but the tests gave me anxiety and I’m more of a writer so I would like to stick to a program that leans that way.
Thank you all for your advice!


Your Location: Pennsylvania, United States.
Your Age: 36
What kind of degree do you want?: I would like a Business degree with a Management/Project Management concentration and am leaning towards UMPI, but I’m open to ideas.
Budget: I would like to spend the least amount possible, but I am open to options. I do have some Pell Grant that is unused.
Commitments: I have kids and a spouse, but am a stay at home mother.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed my kids are in school and stay up later at night.
Timeline: ASAP, but ideally by the end of 2024.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: N/A
