I am a 55 yr old father of 5 trying to finish my degree. Of the 5 kids, 3 have their degrees, one is college freshman and the last one is a senior in high school. The company I work for has tuition reimbursement so now I can finish. My question is I need 11 classes. I have saved some gen ed for last (literature, college algebra, science, etc...). I have transferred all my transcripts tp AMU. I have a mentally exhausting job so I am looking at the path of least resistance for my last push. Does anyone have any recommendations for which business courses and science to take at AMU? Thanks.

So I can understand. What I have done is pick classes or subject matter I am strong in. I have even went so far to take a test on DSST that I wasn't sure how I would do to have a good baseline. I also have a few gaps with your same problem, but have limited myself onto a very slow road by doing very few classes sometimes. I have now taken off work just to spend two semesters in the University taking classes or tests.

I haven't taken any at AMU yet. Just about to pull the trigger. I am in Business, so what I need to complete is a Literature class, a Science w/lab, College Algebra, 18 Core hours and 6 hours in the Concentration...and a Capstone. They have a 30 hour residency thing, so I can transfer in 6 more hours.

I'd use ratemyprofessors.com to see which AMU teachers are easiest. Take those business courses. Then complete through ALEKS beginning algebra and college algebra. $20 and 6 credits you can transfer in.
APUS/ALEKS Equivalents
ALEKS business stats will satisfy Math 302 as one of your business core courses.

I personally would always try to take any residency requirements as my core/AOS courses. If you're going to pay more for a course, make it worth your while. I would hate to pay $900 for a Lit course!
